Truth Of The Past

Vulnerability

In the vast kingdom of Ernasia-

"Everything's ready my lord"

said a gaurd to the man who faced the window.

" Did we receive their letter?" the man asked

" yes, my lord" the gaurd replied

"Then prepare to leave" the man commanded

The gaurd bowed to him and went away.

"Why do you want to do it brother?"
asked a girl dressed in her royal robes

"Because its necessary Clamile" he replied

"But Why their kingdom? Why them? Why her?"

" Father made this decision before he was gone, if I was ever to marry , It will be her, the alliance was only meant for Thanes" he replied

" But they hate you, they won't respect you"

" Does it matter? We will be back here after the marriage"

" She wont love you brother, why be in a loveless marriage with her?"

" That's for me, but for our people, Ernasia, we will always have their support"

" Thanes is weak" she taunted

" Not for long"

She sighs and says " I have heard what they say about her brother, she's changed, changed for the worse"

The man turns and smiles to his sister.

"Don't worry".

A young tall man, with a perfect pale skin and a pair of blue oceanic eyes, brown bushy hero hair and the royal attire with a silver crown on his head; Blake Chalismar,  king of Ernasia and its people, who was now meant to go and marry the queen of Thanes.

He smiles to his family and kisses his mother on the cheek and blinks to assure her and then leaves for his way to Thanes.

While the king of Ernasia is on his trip to Thanes, Thanes is a chaos..

" I, Marrisa, queen of the prestigious Thanes empire am marrying the king of Ernasia under the blessings of my family, I look forward to your blessings too, We will sign an Alliance of trust and support with Ernasia, Both the kingdoms will vow to protect each other, and stand against enemies together. THE ALLIANCE WILL FLOURISH" said Marrisa in the court.

The people, the noblemen and the courtiers were all shocked to death, The kingdom to which even trades were considered undesirable, is going to be their ally , The kingdom which every royal hated was going to be family. Everything was now upside- down

" I tell you this is my father's wish and it is what is right for our kingdom. My rule will flourish even after everything and i ll not let anything change"

" Mark my words, I want no trouble in the country or you'll all face consequences, "

" Long hail the queen"

She leaves the court but is followed by her brother which now knew everything and was furious.

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he screams as he holds her hand and pulls her back.

" This is no way to behave with your queen"

" Yes but it is for my sister "

"YOU CAN'T MARRY HIM"

" We need the alliance, against Shinsley"

" Oh, no we don't need anything, we can easily fight them off, you're not marrying him for this alliance"

" The decision's made, th-they- they ll be coming s-soon"

" DON'T DO THIS MARRISA"

" You don't remember what he did? to us? to you? did you forget?"

" I remember each and everything"

" Then why are you doing this?"

She sighs, -

" Its our father's last wish Brandon, its his last wish, he's gonna die by the springs..let me do it for him, for our nation, our kingdom, I have to do it for Thanes and our people, for their well being."

Brandon was too shocked to hear the news of his father..she started shaking.

" M- Marrisa? NO NO! THIS CAN'T BE ! YOUR LYING ! FATHER IS PERFECTLY FINE, h- he l-loves us, he -w-will n-never leave u-us lik-e t-this"

Marrisa kissed him on the cheek.

" Dont tell him that you know, I told you because you deserve to know,I want you to spend your moments with him, in this we must be there for him ,fullfill his every wish and give him our love. We love him Brandon and we must fullfill his last wish"

" Wh- What will ha-happen n-now?"

" No harm can touch Thanes Until I am standing"

" H- Ho-w Can y-You tr-trust him?"

" I do not trust anyone Brandon, I ve stopped trusting people a long time ago, The alliance will be signed no matter what"

" Ma-Marrisa - Will you leave m-me for h-him?"

Marrisa was shocked by Brandon's question, it was evident that Brandon was vulnerable but Marrisa could not say anything to him now

" No more explanations, I can't do it anymore and to anyone."

" Make sure to watch over them when they are here an- and b-bring them t-to me, its my order."

She leaves for the meeting of golliors.

Brandon lost his capacity to think, his father was dieing and sister was marrying someone who was a disaster for her, He couldn't do anything to make it all right, nothing could help him, What was happening? Why was everything against him and his sister? Everything Brandon loved was drifting away. Brandon did not want to see him, let alone bring him to the kingdom, but he had to gather himself and be there for his sister, follow her commands and stand for his kingdom
