we all loved to listen to the fairy tales our grandma used to tell when we were young, didn't we? what will happen if the same old nepali tale will be written and presented in a different way.
"you forget about me." the younger said in a broken voic...
A RELACEMENT. What the hell is this weirdo saying. I was in my own thoughts. I heard the guard say, "A witch had cursed our kingdom. Our formal king had died long time ago. And his daughter who is the queen now had to get married." I interrupted him saying, "but, why me. You all don't even know my name." to which the guard relied, "stop thinking that you are special? You are the 51th groom our queen has even married. Every king suddenly dies in the wedding night even before touching the queen. Nobody knows why. But, we have to find a king every week so that the curse won't affect our kingdom." By listening that I nearly had a heart attack. Like what. what was up with this woman i just got married to? I wouldn't mind if I was the second one but 51th. It is hurting my pride. Oh god. I regret coming here by following the light. Wait a sec. why don't I just run away from this creepy place. I am too young to die at this young age. Good idea. I am a genius although I hate reading books like Basanta. they suck. now, run sisir. what are you waiting for.
END OF SISIR'S POV
By thinking that, Sisir quickly ran away from there. The guard tried to stop him but failed. You know why because he was too old and Sisir ran from there as if he saw his worst nightmare or a ghost. Soon, we can see that many guards are following Sisir and Sisir is running away from them. Suddenly, Sisir saw a window. Without thinking much about it. He jumped out of there.
(A/N: Sisir be like: I believe I can fly~~~~)
Next thing we know, we heard a loud scream of Sisir. "AAAAHHHAAA MY LEG". When Sisir woke up, he found himself in a strange bedroom and a doctor was bandaging his leg. He sat on the bed and the doctor said, "you woke up. Your highness. Don't worry, nothing has happened to your leg. You just got a scratch as you fell from the first floor and landed on a rose thorn. The pain would be gone in no time."
(A/N: damn. Sisir is giving the vibes of drama queen. But, maybe that's how the rich kids act. But, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. And who told this idiot to jump from a window although it was in the ground floor. But the thorns might have hurt him a lot. but again, like they didn't hurt that much.)
After the doctor was done bandaging the scratch from his leg. Sisir thanked the doctor which made the doctor shocked because royals mostly don't thank the people of the lower rank than them. The doctor told Sisir sadly, "I wish you would be alive tomorrow. You seem like a good and kind guy. You are suitable to rule this kingdom as well as conquer our queen's heart." By hearing this, Sisir had a little smile on his face because who doesn't like to hear compliments from other people. But, Sisir had one question. So he asked, "excuse me. Would you mind telling me that what is going on with the constant murder of the kings whoever married the queen." To which the doctor replied, "I mostly don't know about this matter but I had heard rumors that the queen's stepmom was a witch and in rage she cursed the queen, that whoever will she marry, he will die on the wedding night and if the queen didn't find her true love, the person who is destined for her. She will have to live with this curse for her whole life and the bonus part of the curse was that if a new king is not found after the last one's death within a week, the whole kingdom would have to face the consequences.
It has been predicted that a bloodbath will happen in the future if the rightful king is not found for this kingdom and it is all done by that witch." Sisir was listening to him very carefully. The thought of maiden suddenly came into his mind. He realized that they had one similar character that they both were evil and they hated their step children. But, the main problem was not that. The main problem for Sisir was that how he was going to survive this night. He stared thinking of a plan. He was so in his deep thoughts that he even didn't realize the doctor had already left. Soon after the same guards came there who made him unconscious earlier and dragged him to the queen's room or should I say their room. 🌚 The coordination ceremony had already been done soon after the weeding.
(A/N: I don't know anything about royalty and crowning ceremony as I mentioned before. so, let's pretend that the crowning ceremony didn't take much long time. Cause I had heard that a whole half day is taken to perform this ritual. And what do you think will happen next?)
Sisir was a little scared but he promised himself that he will protect himself, try his best to protect this kingdom as well and return to his brother. He soon came in front of a room which had a large door. The guards told him to go inside. He went inside with an attitude showing that he is cool and all to the guards but deep down he was scared. He went inside and saw that the queen was standing near the bed waiting for him. The doors closed and now they only they two were in the room. The atmosphere between them was quite awkward. So to cheer each other's mood, Sisir said 'hi' to her. But she didn't reply. There was again a deep silence in that room.
After a while later, the queen said, "I see that you failed to run away. Haa?" Sisir just hummed. He didn't go close to her cause who knows next moment she might attack him with a knife and tell everyone in the morning that the curse had killed him. So, Sisir choose to stay away from her. He was getting bored so he decided to start a conversation with her with a proper distance. Who knows it might be his last talk with someone. Sisir started, "as you know we just got married but we don't know each other's names. So, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sisir. prince Sisir of Neville. Can I know your name and the name of this kingdom? Sorry. I don't even know its name." Sisir said while scratching his back of the head feeling embarrassed. He heard the queen chuckle lightly. After a minute he heard her speak in a melodious and sweet voice. She spoke, "so, nice to meet you too prince Sisir of Neville. Now it is my turn in the process of introduction. Hello. My name is Andrea. The queen of Noemi. And Mr. Sisir don't try to act smart and take advantage of the situation here. I only married you for the sake of this curse. If you did something, your banana down there won't be there anymore. Am I clear?"
Sisir looked horrified but he couldn't do anything accept nodding his head a million times. After that they didn't talk much. Sisir was in his deep thought that Andrea 's eyes looked similar to someone but he couldn't figure out whose. After a while, sisir again asked, "can I ask you a question, really quick." Andrea just nodded her head. "why is your name Andrea? Well, I am not saying that it is bad, but it doesn't sound like our native names. So, you used to live in a foreign country that's why your name is unique." Andrea sat on the bed and replied, "no. that's not the case. In fact, I haven't travelled any foreign countries. My name is Andrea because my great grandmother was the princess of Hispania, so I am named after her." Sisir made a o face and nodded his head signaling her that he understood what she wanted to tell. And again silence took over the room after that conversation. When he looked at the bed, he saw Andrea sleeping peacefully. He smiled a little. She had removed her heavy jewelry and makeup and worn light clothes for sleeping before Sisir had entered the room. Sisir went near the sleeping figure and smiled. He placed the blanket on her. He took out his sword and started to walk here and there. He had realized that the queen was not the danger but she was in danger as well.
