Not Another Fairytale, Please!

Chapter Aat

"The sunrise up that mountain would look really beautiful, would you care to show me mightly king of Agnipura"

"It's not like you're gonna let go of this if I say no so please proceed"

"If someone had told me a few days ago that I would be walking up a beautiful mountain next to you, I would have laughed."

"Why? Is it so unbelievable?"

"Yes! You don't know how big a deal it is for me. I've admired you for as long as I could remember. You're my idol. Actually way more than just an idol"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Hey listen, the night I snuck into your room, I came there to tell you something.'

"Yeah I remember but you never got a chance to, my sainik came before that and I had to convince them that I wanted to deal with you myself"

"Yeah thank you for that. But I am versed in martial arts I could have taken her down but she was just doing her duty and it was completely my fault. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that, my sister doesn't love you"

"Yeah I figured, we've never met. I don't expect a woman I've never met to love me."

"And yet here I am.", Kamini sighed.

"What?"

"Nothing, my sister wants to marry you because she believed that I did her wrong and by marrying you she wants to take her revenge. She knows how much I admire and love you and by marrying you she believes it would hurt me."

"Wow, what did you do that tipped her off so bad?"

"She wanted to marry a doofus just because he was handsome. Her husband is gonna rule our kingdom and I didn't want a doofus who was so rude to our people to rule the kingdom. She thinks I stopped that marriage because I was jealous of her. Believe me I've never been jealous of her until you called her your 'bride to be'."

" Well I'm not a doofus, I sure do hope I'm not. And I can be a good husband to your sister so you should be at peace now."

"Now you're just pulling my leg"

"I sure am! I mean I just don't understand why you would love a man you've never met, so much. If it ain't for my wealth, I don't understand why."

"Because you're such an amazing king, valourous, egalitarian. Ruling a kingdom with someone like you would just be so beautiful. I know I'll have to stop fantasizing about you once you choose a wife, and I just don't want to ever stop. Liking someone else and living with someone else after I've given my heart to you is just unfair to the man who marries me."

"It's almost noon, we need to head back. Today is the day I 'officially' see your sister and you and announce to my people that I'm to get married."

"To my sister?"

The king shrugged his shoulders.

"I open my heart out to you and all you can give me is a shrug?"

He shrugged again.

"Ugh nevermind, someday I'll find a king who deserves me"
