The cut wasn't noting though. By the time that Princess Diana had finished her meal, the red stain on king Lugard robe had grown to cover much of his lap. The young king's face look pale and drawn. It was obvious that his man were alarmed at all the blood watching it has it grown. None of them said a word about it. They were all startled. So she had been correct, her aim had been true. But this man, this kind man, was strong of both body and will.

The king's guard's had made several attempt to call the attention of the king to his wound but he was adamant. He acted undisturbed with the cut. As a matter of fate, he was unscathed. He continued eating as if everything looked fine.

In fact, King Lugard continued to talk with Princess Diana as though noting at all had happened. His conversation was lively, calm, heartwarming and interesting- tough, realistic, yet generous and wise. She had an odd realization: Abasia Kingdom's men bored her, most especially the wealthy ones.

While waiting for Jack and Jacquard to return from work, he said, "No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession, and every man, worthy of his name, will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out." "Hmm..." Gift then Interrupted. "Uncle Siyabong what going on? Are you facing any challenges at your place of work that I am not of?" she asked. "What did you expect from a man who is married without an offspring for almost a now? Or who his wife had left because she felt he is impotent?

Siyabong asked. "It is okay uncle Siyabong. The gods have gotten you. Let's keep on waiting for the perfect time." She

    People who live in the middle of the desert rarely know how to swim. Princess Diana was an exception, but wasn't an expert. She fell headlong into a torrent of water that spun her and thrashed her like a doll. Water went to spun her and thrashed her like a doll. Water wemt up her nose, into her lungs and into her stomach.

    Before the king would try to step out of his room together with Chief Madu, the voice of the queen has been heard, screaming from her room. It seemed the news had gotten to her hearings. "Who on this earth delivered such news to the queen at this moment? How would they expect her to react, happy or what? Because I don't understand." The King said to his Chief while walking along the corridor with guards behind them heading towards the castle gate to await the arrival of the guards coming with Princess Diana's body from the eastern border of the kingdom."I am very sure my daughter is alive. She is destined to achieve something beyond imagination. She is the savior of this Kingdom. She might have passed out as a result of the stress she passed through. The gods can't just allow such to happen to my kingdom. Never." The king said. "You are right my Lord. The gods had never done anything bad to us." Chief Madu said.

    They did as they were instructed. Princess Diana was taken straight to the shrine. The chief priest was already waiting for them at the entrance of the shrine. She was taken in as expected. The chief priest turned to them all. "I want you all to go home. Princess Diana comes back to life. She only lost her consciousness. The gods will do that." The Chief priest told everyone present at the shrine. "She must be locked into the shrine. By daybreak, she would be the one to come out herself." The chief priest added. Everyone present felt confused. How can someone whose heart has stopped beating and even confirmed by the great Physician in this whole nation come back to life? At first, they were adamant to yield to what the Chief priest had said. But all left as King Abasiama ordered them to leave. They all went back home hoping Princess Diana would come to life as said by the Chiefs priest. The Chief priest was known to the mouth and serve as an intermediary between the heavenly bodie

    After everyone went to their room. The king and Princess Diana were the only ones at the dining table. The King was still holding his cutleries, trying his best to finish up the meat he was served. Princess Diana stood up and moved closer to her Father. The king pretended not to see her coming in his direction. He concentrated on his meal while Intentionally hitting the plate with his cutleries. He already positions himself well to receive her. Upon getting to where the King was sitting. At that moment the king had already dropped the cutleries, picked up the napkin to rub his lips, and dust his clothes. Princess Diana rested her chin on his shoulder. Cuddling him from the back. " Dad has missed you. I believe you also missed me more than I do. What am I even saying?

    Looking back to days when Princess Diana was still very young, twelve or fifteen. Princess Diana had always had an interest in the things that rolled in from the sea. Strange things. Unusual things. The thing that looks weird. Things beyond what she could comprehend. Things which hinted that outside the comfortable, Abasia Kingdom where she lived lay a vast and very different nation. So when the sea boils and smashed on the sea, and the odd-shaped things rolled or deposited once and came to rest on the sand, Princess Diana walked towards it. Princess Diana sneaks out of the royal castle most time, without telling anyone where she was heading to. She did that on several occasions. There was even a time she failed to return to the castle before the sun fell, till everywhere was dark. Everyone kept on asking for her. The maids assigned to her, to assist in anything she wants to do as the princess, were the ones who noticed at first. They searched everywhere. No traces of her. They c

He wears a black jacket on top, inner white shirt under and a blue jean. The sole of his canvas kinds of lit under the day light. "Hey." I say back, coolly."Um, what're you doing here?" Whilst saying, his eyes dart to the library's building, "oh, came here?""Yeah." Is all I say, staring into his eyes. I see they are green. They are so bright.

    "Rash!" Oh, boy. I hurry up and get a plain blue towel around my waist while there's another in my hands, being used to clean my face and torso. I get out of the bathroom and go to the closet. I put on a simple nylon black shirt, long enough that the hem stops around my thighs, and a khaki short. On the way, I slip into my flip-flops, getting down the stairs, I see aunt Melissa, giggling to the screen of her phone. She's Face-timing with someone, and really, I don't want to know who it is. When she catch my figure, walking to the couch, she quickly wraps it up and tells me. "So, what's the plan?" I shrug. She's placing her phone away, and concentrating on me. "I don't know." "You're a dickhead." She says. Well, I have a dickhead, the thought comes abruptly but I quickly shake it away. "What do you think...wait, where's granny?" "She's not around." Remember that I said she and granny never gets along. This is one of the obviousness that I mean. Granny is religious on her si

    As Jacquard fainted, Jack couldn't believe his luck. He had always envied his brother's skills and successes, and now he had the chance to claim the glory for himself. He approached the unconscious form of his brother and the princess, carefully picking her up and cradling her in his arms. He looked down at her sleeping face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He had always wanted to prove himself to the kingdom, to show that he was just as capable as his brother, and this was his chance. “Yes! This is my perfect victory. That’s right… I win!” He exclaimed joyfully. Jack's heart leapt with fulfillment although he did his best to conceal it. He felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and the weight of his envy and resentment had been lifted away. The mission to rescue Princess Diana was a success, and he was the hero who saved her. It was all he had ever wanted, and now that he had it, he could barely contain his elation.

    Jacquard started to panic as he realized how close the warriors were getting. He knew he had to think as fast as possible and come up with a plan that could at least put him on the higher ground of the table of turbulence. "What do I do now? It’s only getting more and more complicated!" Jacquard thought to himself, with a faint trace of fear. "I can't let them catch me with the princess. We’ll be done for." He said He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Think, Jacquard , think," he whispered to himself. "What can I do to get out of this situation?" Just at the moment when he was still thinking, the memories of the charm song his mother taught him flooded his mind. "Maybe that's it," he said to himself. "Maybe the charm song can help me get out of this." He started to hum the song softly, hoping it would have the same effect as it did the last time. But as he hummed, he noticed that the warriors were getting even closer. He needed to sing the song louder. He too

    Jacquard continued running through the night with memories of his past flooding his mind. He remembered the times he spent with his family before they were left by him and his brother, by the proposal of the neighboring kingdom's soldiers. The pain of leaving his loved ones was too much to bear, but the thought of the princess's safety gave him the strength to keep moving. He thought back to the time he and his twin brother, Jacquard uard, went to their friend's farm. They had so much fun working and playing together, but a little argument over who should carry the most harvest nearly ruined their day. Jacquard wanted to carry more than his fair share, but Jacquard insisted on carrying an equal amount. Jacquard smiled as he continued remember how the words of Lucky had diffused the situation in a lucid illusion. They all ended up carrying an equal amount and left the farm with big smiles on their faces. It was moments like those that made him miss his family even more. The memories

    As Jacquard thought back to that day, he smiled to himself, remembering the fun they had at the farm. He could almost smell the scent of the fresh crops and feel the warmth of the sun on his skin. But his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of rustling bushes nearby. He stopped in his tracks and listened carefully. “Shit!” He exclaimed. “What’s that? Oh my God I hope it’s not what I’m thinking?” He asked himself quietly in fear and trepidation. ”Is it the sound of Amah warriors approaching?” He continued to ruminate. He couldn't take any chances. He carefully placed Princess Princess Princess Diana on the ground and crouched down, ready to attack if need be. The sound of rustling bushes grew louder and louder, but to his surprise, it was just a small animal, a bunny for that matter, scurrying away. Jacquard breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the princess once more. “Such a drag. These animals sure can get one a really high blood pressure.” He said to himself, after wh

    Jacquard was relieved that he had finally found some water. As he drank, he could feel his energy returning, and he knew that he needed to act quickly to save Princess Diana . He ran back to her side and gently placed his hand on her forehead. She was burning up, and he knew that time was running out. "Your Highness, can you hear me?" he asked, his voice trembling with fear. There was no response, and Jacquard felt his heart sink. He sprinkled some water on her face, hoping that it would wake her up. Slowly but surely, Princess Diana 's eyelids began to flutter, and she opened her eyes. She looked up at Jacquard , and for a moment, he could see the fear in her eyes. "Don't worry, Your Highness," he said, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "I'm here to protect you. Just take it easy and drink some water." He held the water up to her lips, and she took a few sips. Jacquard could feel the tension in his body starting to ease as he saw her regain some strength. They couldn't st

    Jacquard could still feel the weight of the princess pressing on his back as he moved further, making every step more difficult than the last. He could feel the heat of the sun bearing down on him, the sweat trickling down his face, mixing with his tears, and he just wished it would all end already. He couldn't help but think that they were doomed, that they would never make it out alive. But then he remembered his training, his years of preparation for a moment like this. He couldn't give up now, not when the princess's life was on the line. "Stay with me, Your Highness," he said, his voice strained with exhaustion. "We're almost there." He yelled. But Princess Diana remained unresponsive, her breathing shallow and weak. Jacquard felt a sense of despair wash over him. He couldn't carry her much further, and they were still far from safety. He didn't know what to do. As they continued to run, Jacquard could hear the sound of the Amah warriors getting closer and closer. He felt a

    As they continued their treacherous journey, Jacquard's mind was racing with thoughts. “Could this be the end? After all I have gone through alongside my brother Jacquard ? Never! I won’t allow that. I promised mom I’ll be back. No! We will be back!” He swore to himself as encouragement. He couldn't afford to let the princess down. He had been tasked with her safety, and he was determined to see it through to the end. He could feel her weight on his shoulders dropping on every single one of his nerves, applying pressure on his well bred muscles and tendons, and he knew that if he stumbled, they would both fall. The adrenaline was pumping through his veins, but it was starting to wear off. The pain in his legs and back was becoming unbearable, but he pushed through it. "Are you okay, Jacquard ?" Princess Diana's voice was weak, barely audible over the sound of his footsteps. He was running as silently as possible to avoid any sneak attack… that was one of the military logics of the
