Jon and Jace couldn't believe their eyes. They had heard about Chand's mafia Princess being beautiful like their elder Queen, but they never considered it to be actually possible.
Their elder Queen was so beautiful and elegant, and by looking at Princess Ashly Chand, Jace and Jon were perfectly sure that the Princess belonged to Branson's.
Princess Ashly Chand was standing in front of them. She was nothing but a creation of God. She was alluring and gorgeous. Such a beautiful young woman.
She was wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black robe with golden embroidery.
Jace and Jon were short on words.
The same happened to them years ago, the moment they saw Elder Queen Braze.
Ashly took a deep breath and decided to speak.
"What does your King desire?" Ashly asked them. She heard everything, but she wanted to hear it again.
"Huh? Yeah, it's our pleasure to meet you, Princess Ashly. Well, I must say, whatever we heard about you being the most beautiful one is actually true. You are indeed beautiful, Princess Ashly," Jon complimented.
"She doesn't need your compliment," Jones said with a furious look, and Jace just rolled his eyes.
Queen Maryes decided to speak up. "Mafia King Alexander wants to marry you in exchange for 'not destroying Chands'. Funny, isn't it?"
Ashly looked toward her mother. "It's not funny, Ma. It's sad that Branson's are making it a hobby to destroy lives, just because they want to rule everywhere." Ashly spoke calmly.
Her eyes were burning with rage.
Ashly looked towards the generals.
"It looks like your King really wants to become a Lord Mafia, and he will do anything to have that position".
"Yes, Princess Ashly, our King wants to become the first Lord Mafia, and only Chands are stopping it from happening".
"Yeah, we can see that," Ashly said while rolling her eyes.
Ashly walked up to the queen. "Ma, I won't let my people die in vain for some king," Ashly said.
Jon and Jace just smirked. "She is indeed like our elder Queen Bree.".
"Listen, general, if your King wants to marry me, tell him to come himself with his mother and father, as we do in TV serials. I will marry him only if I'm impressed." Ashly told the generals
Her mother was shocked. "Baby, no." She tried to stop her.
"Ma, let me handle this." She stopped and looked toward the generals again.
"And tell him that I don't appreciate this behavior and that I will surely give him a hard time in the future".
Jon and Jace gave each other a glance.
"You make wise decisions, Princess; we will surely inform him. Thanks for your time, Princess." Then they took their leave with a smile.
"Looks like our King Alexander is going to get a badass bride like Elder King Brandon," Jon said to Jace, who smiled at him.
"Tell me something that I don't know, baby".
Alexander was at the border of Chandland. He knows very well that he is going to win and make Chands bow their heads to him. While he was holding a meeting with his Generals inside his tent. A guard walked in. "General Jon and Jace have arrived." He informed Alexander. "Send him in," Alexander ordered. Jon and Jace stepped inside. "My son." Alexander nodded and asked them to take a seat. "No need for a blood bath, my son. Miss. Beauty has agreed to be yours," Jon informed him with a smile. Alexander smiled victoriously. "I am going back to the capital tonight. Take a group of soldiers and escort Chand Princess to the Capital." Alexander ordered, It's time for him to become a member of the Mafia. "The ceremony will be held there; I will inform my mother to start preparations." Jon and Jace looked at each other, and Jace let out a sigh. "I'm afraid we can't do that, my boy," Jace answered while he bowed his head. "Are they opposing my orders, Uncle Jace?" Alexander asked whil
Inside the main hall of ChandLand. "What were you thinking!?" Queen Maryes was furious. Ashly sighed as she arranged her trunk box. She can't let this happen; her husband has scarified himself so that he can protect Chands and his beloved child. And here she is; she can't even protect her baby, her only family. "I had no choice, Ma. Die with our people or die alone," Ashly answered. "And Ma, please don't take this to yourself; I know what you are thinking, Ma. You always protected me. Your whole life, you protected ChandLand. Now it's my time to protect my people and provide them with a better and more peaceful future." Tears rolled down the Queen's cheeks; she really can't do anything. "He will not kill you. He will torture you and make you regret being born. We Chands never bowed our heads down to Branson's. He will make sure to take revenge on you, baby." "I don't care, Ma; what I really care about is yours and my people's safety, and..." Before Ashly could finish, she heard
Ashly took a deep breath, looked towards her mother, and smiled. She was about to walk out the door. But her mother stood in front of her. "Don't go!" Her eyes were pleading. "Ma, I have to; I have to do this for my people, for you," Ashly whispers in the last part. "But, baby, If he sees you, he will never let you go!" Maryes knows very well how everyone wants her daughter because of her beauty. Tears are falling down her cheeks again. She never cried this much in her whole life, not even when her husband died. "I lost my husband to an American Mafia . Now I cannot lose my only daughter." Jones stares at both her mother and daughter. He knows very well that he cannot do anything to help them. Chands always lived peacefully; they never wanted war or anything. If they show disagreement with this offer, ChandLand will pay the consequences. Ashly sighed and held her mother's hand. "I cannot be the reason for a bloodbath, Ma." Maryes knew she had no choice. She took off her black v
Alexander was sitting in the conference Hall of the Chand palace with Elder Queen Bree and Elder King Branson sitting beside him, waiting for their future daughter-in-law to arrive. Standing beside him were his two generals, Simon and Mike. Jace and Jon are sitting beside each other and waiting for their new Queen to arrive. Elder Queen Bree decided to break the silence. "So my baby decided to hold the ceremony in Branson's headquarters?" Alexander looks towards his mother and nods his head. "Good, and I hope you will invite Chands also; they are going to be your in-laws and our family. We treat our family with respect." Elder King Branson said this while looking towards his son. "Yes, father, I know. Don't worry, I will never make you regret your decision to choose me as King," Alexander answered with a determination that made Bree and Branson smile. Shortly after that, the door opened, and General Jones walked in. "Our Princess is here ", Jones said, bowing his head to Alexand
After signing the contract, Ashly took her time to bid farewell to her mother. Everyone came to bid a Noble farewell to their beloved Princess. They didn't want their beloved Princess to go anywhere, especially with Branson. But they knew that their princess had made this sacrifice for them. Queen Mary hugged her daughter. "I will come to Branson's headquarters before your wedding with your bridal garments and all," she said. "Stay safe. Stay strong. Be careful with your words. Try not to be sassy with the king." Ashly released herself from her brace and smiled. "I will be fine, Ma. If no one provokes me, I won't use my mouth. But if they ever try to insult me, I will cut their heads off," Ashly said with determination. "I am Chand Ma, Ashly Chand. I will bow my head down out of respect, not out of fear". Queen Mary nodded and smiled proudly. Ashly went to her best friend, Green, who was crying his eyes out. "Take care of my mother for me, will you?" Ashly asked Green nodded a
The journey to Branson's Villa, or, you can say, Branson's headquarters, took 8 hours. Branson's main headquarters are built on the side of South Asia. The place was called MoonLand. Alexander called his maids and told them to decorate the villa beautifully. MoonLand is beautiful, but not as beautiful as ChandLand. It was midnight when they arrived at the villa. The helicopter landed, and Alexander got out of it. He called Mike and Simon. They were already at the villa. Everyone used a shortcut to reach the villa except Alexander. Why? Because he wanted to spend more quality time with his future Queen. They did not talk; none of them said a single word, but they still enjoyed each other's presence. "Tell the maids to prepare a room for Ashly. And make sure it is warm enough". Mike and Simon nodded, and they went inside. The winters were to end, and he knew that his beloved future queen would surely get cold and sick. Alexander looked inside that helicopter and smiled when he saw
When Ashly woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room. Then it hit her. Ashly might be in Branson's Villa now. Of course, it is going to be unfamiliar. She took a look around. The room was huge and magnificent. Everything had a shade of scarlet and black. Even the bedspread was dark red. Then Ashly looked at herself. She felt relaxed that she was still wearing the dress she wore when she departed from ChandLand. Then she heard a knock. A woman spoke from outside. "Queen, may I come in?" Ashly cleared his throat. "Yes" The door opened, and a young woman entered. She stood in front of the bed and bowed. "I was appointed as your personal assistant, my Queen. My name is Zia," Ashly said with a nod. "Is that so? Can you, um, help me get out of bed? I'm kind of stuck here." She hurried up to her and started removing bedspreads. "I'm sorry, my Queen. I was strictly ordered to keep you warm." Ashly chuckled as she got out of bed. "Don't mind it. I should be thankful to you for your eff
After Ashly had lunch, Zia offered her a tour of the palace. At the library, Zia gave Ashly a book named 'Branson Queen'. "It has the rules to be followed by the Queen and the duties inside and outside the villa," She said. "Rules?" Ashly asked again if she heard anything wrong. "Yes, Queen, being a Branson Queen, you have to follow certain rules. The Elder Queen will teach you all this herself, but apparently she is busy with wedding preparations." Ashly takes the book from Zia. "I thought, all the Queen has to do is look pretty," Ashly joked. Zia looked at Ashly and made a weird face. "Looking pretty is the main duty, though," she replied, laughing. Ashly is sure going to get along well with Zia. It was late in the evening when Ashly came back to her room with Zia. That tour gave her a chance to get along with maids. Everyone was talking about Alexander and the Generals today. Since Zia is also General's fan, she also joined the group. Ashly decided to sit back on her couch a
