Chapter 4

Mabel and her parents stood and the queen saw them, she yelled at them.

“ Why are you all here? This is a private meeting, we having with the witch so you should leave immediately if I need something I will ask for you” the queen said, Mabel and her parents were about to leave and the witch stopped them.

“ They should stay because that girl is part of the king’s solution if she accepts to help the royal family” the witch said pointing at Mabel, prince Brian, queen Emma and princess Alicia were shocked, Mabel and her parents were also shocked.

“ How do you mean?” Prince Brian ask.

“ How is she part of the solution?” Queen Emma asked.

“ She is just a common girl and Jane no use for the Royal family” Princess Alicia said.

“ You may think so princess Alicia but that girl is more useful than you are, she will still save this palace in the future if you give her chance” the witch said.

“ Do not speak to princess Alicia that way, she demands some respect” queen Emma said in anger.

“ How is she part of the solution?” Prince Brian asked.

“There was an egg of life tears back that was meant to save the people of our land but because the king wanted to destroy all the people with magic and the witches and wizard, he decided to threw the egg of live into the evil forest, the witches and wizard were all dying including with the people with magic, I was the only survivor because i was one of the powerful, there was a woman with magic, she cursed the king before she died, she was the one holding the egg of life, she was throw into the evil forest with the egg, she was in the evil forest for years until her granddaughter was born, the woman died with pain cursing the king and she transferred all her magic to her granddaughter and her granddaughter is Mabel, the servant woman daughter,the prince will have to go to the evil forest to get the egg with the help of Mabel if she accept then, there will be a promise made by the prince to Mabel” the witch said, princess Alicia, queen Emma and prince Brian were surprised.

“ No wonder, she looks weird when she took the magic book from the royal library” queen Emma said.

“ What promise will prince Brian have to make to her?” Princess Alicia asked.

“ The promise is simple. Rince Brian will have to marry her if he don’t then the palace will fall apart and you will all lose your title in the royal family” the witch said.

“ What? Can’t the prince go alone?” Princess Alice asked.

“ No, the prince can’t go alone because that forest is dangerous, witch you can give us another solution” queen Emma said.

“ That is the only solution and remember the prince can’t go alone because if he does, he won’t come back alive, he can only go with Mable because her ancestors will direct her and with her magic no one can harm the prince or her because she is now one of the greatest of the magicians” the witch said, Mabel and her parents stare at each other.

“ No, I can’t allow her my daughter go to that evil forest, she is my only child” Mabel’s mother said.

“ It’s her destiny. Prince Brian is her destiny and princess Alicia will only be his doomed” the witch said.

“ What do you mean that I am a bad person?” Princess Alicia asked in anger.

“ I guess this is a plan work between the witch and this people” Princess Alicia said in anger.

“ You are not a bad person princess Alicia but you are not meant to be with prince Brian, and the price the king will have to pay is that when the egg has save his life, he will need to leave the throne for his son, prince Brian will be crown the king, while his father is still alive” the witch said.

“ What? That is not impossible, I can’t be crown king while my father is still alive, search maybe there is another solution” prince Brian said.

“ Like I said that is the only solution we have and if you fail to do so your father the king will die and you will still be crown king. I am not here to argue or exchange words with you all, you called me into the palace to look for a solution for the sick king and now I have done that, I will be outside the palace and be waiting for what you decide, I will give you just two hours to think about and give me feedback” the witch said and she left them standing, princess Alicia and queen Emma were angry and they saw Mabel and her parents stills standing and they yelled at them, Mabel and her father left as they were nervous.

“ What do you think about what the witch said mother?” Prince Brian ask.

“ I don’t know because I can’t let you marry that low class girl and also be crown king while

your father is still alive” queen Emma said.

“ Do you prefer dad to die soon?” Prince Brian asked.

“ No, that is not what I meant, we will look for another solution, I can’t let you go into the evil forest you are my only son” queen said.

“ The witch said there is only one solution” prince Brian said.

“Don’t tell me that you believe what the witch said and you want to leave me for that low class girl” prince Alicia said.

“ Princess Alicia, you have to understand that this is between life and death, do not worry I am not going get married to her, I will just give her a fake promise and when we are back, I will pay her off” prince Brian said.

“ You can’t make fake promise to her, this is now the traditional way and not the modern way, you can’t make promises you can’t fulfill, promise is debt that you have pay and if you don’t your dad will die and also we will lose our Royal right so think about it well, it’s better you don’t do it rather than making some fake promises” queen Emma said.

“ What if I go with prince Brian?” Princess Asked.

“ The evil forest is not for the weak, it’s for the strong” queen Emma said.

“ Do you mean that I am weak?” Princess Alicia asked.

“ What I meant by weak is that you have no magic, you are just this modern girl and the evil forest is not for you” queen Emma said in anger.

“ We have to be think about this” queen Emma said.

“ There is nothing to think about mum, the king’s life is at stake, we need to save him” prince Brian said.

“ Don’t tell me that you will agree to the condition?” Princess Alicia said in anger.

“ We have no choice” prince Brian said.

“ You have choice but I guess you prefer her to me, maybe you have been eyeing her” princess Alicia said.

“ No, don’t said that, I love you, I don’t love her believe me and trust me” prince Brian said.

“ I don’t think I want to trust you anymore, I will take my leave now” Princess Alicia said in anger and she left, Mabel and her mother saw her leave.

“ Princess Alicia is leaving because of all this situation and the royal family will have us blame for everything” Mabel’s dad said and Mabel’s mum gets more worried.

I am worried that we may lose our jobs and we might no means of survival again” Mabel’s mum said.

“ Let Alicia go and by the way the witch already said that she is doomed to this land and the prince and I am his destiny, we are meant to be together” she said and she smiles.

“ Mabel! I know that you are I love with prince Brian but trust me, I can’t let you go that evil forest” her mum said and Mabel smiles.

“ No mum, this has always been my dream so please do not ruined, I love the prince and I can do what ever will make him happy” Mabel said and she smiled.

“ Dear! You have to understand that you are just a commoner and the prince will never want to go for a person like you” her dad says.

“ I am a special person leaving among the commoners dad” she said.

“ What do you mean!” Her mum asked.

“ I may be a commoner but I am not weak, I can do whatever I want but the people with Royal tittle just got the name and can’t do things without us that have magics” Mabel said, prince Brian and queen Emma met Mabel and her parents at where they stood.

“You will come with me Mabel since that the only solution but in return, I won’t get married to you but I will pay you off and also yourself and your parents will have a Royal title” the prince said.

“I am sorry m’y prince but my daughter will not be going on this mission with you” Mabel’s mum said.

“ Mrs Hills! We have only one solution. We have promise to give you a Royal title and also a lot of money but the prince can’t get married to your daughter” queen Emma said and the witch met them negotiating.

“ The prince must marry Mabel if she will have to go with him into the evil forest” the witch said.

“Mabel will decide on her own if she will go with the prince or not her parents can’t decide for her” the witch said.

“ I will go with the prince into the evil forest” Mabel said and her parents were disappointed.

“ The girl has spoken. Tomorrow by noon, you both should meet in the gate of the evil forest and I shall tell you what to do. Good bye for now” the witch said and she left in peace, prince Brian and Mabel stare at each other.
