And the next moment, Klaus knew he was walking towards the young lady who got his attention. His feet were moving on his own and before he knew he had already been standing back facing to the lady. He took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness. He took his hand forward and gently tapped on her shoulder. The lady turned around and gently smiled at him. Klaus swear that his heart skipped a beat when he saw that smile.

 While he was in his deep thoughts, the lady in front of him said," do you need something. Your majesty." 

Klaus flinch a little and said, "ohh... ahh.. I was wondering if I could get a chance to have a wonderful  dance with a beautiful woman in front of me.. Young lady."

 He extended his hand forward. The lady in front of him looked at him confused and said pointing a finger at her, 

 "me." 

Klaus nodded. "it would be a pleasure. Your majesty. But may I have your introduction please"

 Then Klaus remembered something. he forget to introduce himself. 

so, he said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Klaus. The future king of Neville. What about you, gorgeous."

 After he finished speaking, he bowed in front of her and winked at her as well with a flirty smile. The lady in front of him blushed a little and said, "ava. The princess of empire ukriya. "Ava also bowed to him.

"Isn't that Neville's neighboring country. How come I have never seen you before." 

Klaus asked confused. "oh I had gone to a foreign land for my studies. I just returned home a week ago. And this is my first ball."

 Ava said excitedly. Klaus chuckled and said, "now shall we dance."

Ava giggled and nodded her head. That night two strangers who just met few hours ago danced and steal the spotlight of the ball. And you know who they were. Klaus and Ava. That's how there loves story began. After a year of getting to know each other and their countries. They finally got married more like Klaus begged his father to get him married with Ava.

FLASHBACK ENDS

[ A/n: I know mothing about ball dances. Heck, I don't even know about royalty. So please bear with this writing.]

The king smiled remembering how he met the love of his life at that royal ball. He said, "of course. I remember. How could I forget? You looked like an angel that had fallen from the sky by the gods for me and you still look like that now even after 15 years." 

the queen sadly replied," well not anymore." 

The king's face darkened. But he remained calm. He again asked, "my love, is there anything bothering you. Please tell me. I beg you" 

he had tears in his eyes. He continued. "if I did something wrong then tell me. I am ready to face any punishment you gave me. Let's talk this matter. "the queen sighed and finally told the king everything. The king was shocked to hear this. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

His wife was depressed because of a stupid dumb reason. He said shocked," WHAT !!!" 

the queen flinched in the sudden voice of the king. 

The king continued. "how can you ever think that I will replace you. How can you be so stupid to think like that and ruin your health? You are a queen, a mother of two kids and most importantly my wife. How can you believe that I will marry a witch like girl and kill my own child? How can you. how?"

 the king's voice was cracking in the end and he was crying at the thought of his wife dying and leaving him and his kids all alone. The queen quickly stands up on her bed and said,

" sshh. don't think like that love. Look now I will not think like that okay." 

The queen then suddenly started crying taking out all of her emotions. The king hugged her and let his wife cry on his shoulder.

They both cried in each other's arms. After a while, the king heard soft snores. He looked down and saw his wife sleeping peacefully. He placed her in bed. 

The king calmed down and said, "if something bothers you again. Don't hesitate to tell me okay. You can share anything with me." 

He said to the sleeping beauty. The king left. He felt relieved that his wife shared this thing with him rather than being more depressed. After that day, good things started happening again. The queen was recovering from her depression and the king couldn't be happier.  The kingdom was relieved to know that the queen has finally been cured from the disease. 

In the outskirts of the kingdom, a priest ( pandit baba)  was meditating in a cave at a top hill. but suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, " a big misfortune will soon occur in this land which no one can escape from. The kingdom will be doomed. The arrival of evil has already stepped inside the royal castle. now, no one can stop it from happening." He went outside and looked at the kingdom with his sharp eyes.  

 after a few days, something unexpected happened that nobody even imagined. That day all of the smiley faces were down. Nobody was laughing or giggling. A disaster happened which shook the whole kingdom.  the priest's prediction was right. it was the day.  The day when the king lost his most precious thing that he treasured and loved. The queen was found dead on her royal bed. She had drunk poison. Or someone had poisoned her? 

The king entered the queen's room while running. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard that his wife was not with him anymore. He was panting. he soon reached at the queen's room. he looked at his dead wife's body. He dismissed the maids who were dressing the queen for her funeral. He sat near her bed without saying anything. 

He slowly caressed her face and remove the hair that was sticking out in her face. She looked pale but comfortable. It looks like all the burden on her shoulders had been relieved. She looked so peaceful even in her death bed. The king was too speechless to cry. He couldn't utter a single word. There was a long silence for a few minutes until the king completely broke down. He buried his face in her chest and started crying. After a while later, his cries calm down but still he was sobbing. He suddenly looked at the door and froze when he saw....
