The next day, Diya refused to come out of her room at any cost. But, do you think anybody care. Of course not. they completely forgot about her or rather decided not to acknowledge her presence. The guards were really pissed off with her. She literally made them search for the royal couple for an entire hour. The guards were tired as well. And Sisir and Andrea both didn't call her either. In short, everyone was happy without her presence. Everything was going peaceful until a messenger entered the royal palace looking panicked. He looked like he ran a marathon judging by his heavy breathing. A few guards came near him when he suddenly shouted,
"THE KINDOM IS IN DANGER. THE ENEMIES HAVE ATTACKED AND RE HEADING TOWARDS THE BOARDER. THEY HAVE DECLARED THE WAR AND IT WILL HAPPEN AFTER A WEEK. PLEASE SAVE OUR PEOPLE. MY MAGESTY."
These were the last words of the messenger before he passed out. Only then the guards realized a big knife stabbed at his back and blood flowing out from it from the messenger's back. They immediately ran towards the royal garden to inform the king and queen. Andrea was furious when she heard that. She got up and shouted,
"why don't those bastards understand that we need peace in the country not violence. When will those dumps realize that?"
"calm down ANDREA. And. You. You said that we only have a week, right. So inform all the royal soldiers to start preparing for the war. Things might get out of hand."
"but, your' majesty. We only have a week left. It will be impossible."
The guard interrupted and Sisir replied, "just go and do as I say. If you trust yourself whole heartily, then anything is possible. Now leave." The guard bowed and left.
In the royal court, everyone was arguing on the hot topic. Some ministers suggested for the war and some were against it while sisir was sitting in the throne annoyed by their talking and mumbles. he shouted,
"enough with the talking now. You don't have to make the court room a fish market."
They all became quiet. One of the minister cleared his voice and said,
"my lord. We apologize for our behavior. But, this is about our nation. We have to do something and show our contribution for the nation."
Sisir nodded his head. 'I have to do something quick.' Sisir thought and said,
"well, mr. rana any updates from the messenger."
"the messenger had told that the tribe aren't ready to back away. 'They want war not peace.' These were the last words of the previous messenger."
As they were talking, the new messenger came inside the court and bowed in front of king. "greetings my lord."
"so, they agreed?"
"sadly, no my lord. They are stubborn. They told they will get what they deserve. I nearly survive at their territory."
Sisir realized that those people won't agree until a war takes place between the countries. He signed for the nth time that day and put his hand on his head.
"everyone silence. Okay. So, the decision is made. We will go to the war and fight them. But, make sure no intruders enter inside the kingdom and harm the people. You all are dismissed and tell the army to prepare for the war."
After a week, the whole castle was still a mess due to the sudden declaration of the war. Sisir was getting ready for the war and Andrea was arguing with him that she wanted to tag along with him.. The war had been declared between Noemi and the rivalry country officially. Well, he was the king what do you expect from him. Just hide in the corner of the palace and wait until the rivals destroy everyone in the kingdom.
"nothing will happen to me Andrea, I will come back to you after winning the war. And you stay here. In my absence, I want someone to look after the kingdom nd palace. This rivalry needs to end as soon as soon. And if they don't agree, then they should be ready to face me. I won't be merciless when I am angry. But, I will try my best to end this whole situation and maintain peace among the countries. Even when those bastards declined it. I won't let anything happen to your people. And I will return back safely in your arms. I promise."
"please return back quick. I don't want to lose you to like my dad. I have nightmares of that day till now. You are the only person I love and trust the most. Please." Andrea pleaded. Sisir just nodded his head, kissed Andrea's head and left. 'let's just hope things go as planned.' They both thought in their heads.
(A/N: skip this scene if you are sensitive with war. But, don't skip it at the same time.)
On the way Sisir could witness the burning houses and people running everywhere just to survive this day. They looked so helpless that angered Sisir. he was going to take revenge from the rivals no matter what. The scène of the battle field was no good. Blood was everywhere. The rivals were stabbing the soldiers like they were a piece of cake. The sight was too painful to even watch. Sisir marched his horse and reached there in no time. Suddenly, it started to rain. The rain mixed with the blood of the soldiers and innocent people in the battlefield gave the scent of the earth and a little bit of iron which Sisir hated the most. Taking a deep breath, Sisir continuously marched forward taking out his sword.
'I will end this soon. please. Have faith in your king, my people.'
Soon, blood was all over Sisir's sword and clothes of the rivals. He thanked to god that his useless dad had taught him sword fighting and self-defense before abandoning him in the past. As the sudden thought of his father, Sisir felt angrier and attacked the rivalry soldiers without any mercy. Even women were participated in that war.
"keep up your fighting spirits. We can't back away after we have entered. We are the descendants of the brave gorkhalis. We can't give up this easily. Keep fighting till the end my people."
A voice echoed from Sisir's side which brought a new confidence in the soldiers. They attacked the enemies with all their might vowing to their motherland that they will protect her no matter. The voice was of Mr. Rana. He contributed for the country as well. The war continued the whole day. The sound of the sea shell echoed through the battlefield at darn which stated that the war should be stopped now. And be continued tomorrow. Both the parties backed away. At night, sisir and his soldiers Like this the war continued for a whole week. thousands of people lost their lives. Some lost their sons, some fathers, some daughters, some children. But, by putting a stone in their hearts, they didn't become emotional and fought with bravery. Telling the rival tribe what their place should be.
The war was far from coming to an and. Sisir was injured badly but he still fought till the last day. While Sisir was battling in the field, he failed to notice the leader of the group behind him with a big knife ready to stab him at any moment. When suddenly, a mysterious figure came from behind and attacked the leader with a sword. It stabbed the man before it could harm Sisir. Sisir looked behind and saw the man's face covered in blood before he fell on the ground and died. Sisir looked at the figure and was shocked to see the familiar eyes with a soldier's suit. He widened his eyes. It was his wife. Andrea with a mask on to hide her identity.
"Andre. What are you doing here? It's dangerous here. Return back to the castle. I am fine."
"please stop lying. I can clearly see the wound on your waist. You need help and what did you expected me to do? Sit back at the castle and let my fear and guilt of not saving you eat me up. This is also my kingdom Sisir and these are my people we are talking about. So, I am not going to back off after entering this battle field. Now, let's go. We have more people to defeat."
Saying that, both Sisir and Andrea began to fight with the tribe member. The people at the war were so shocked to see their queen fighting so fiercely. Like she was meant to be a warrior. At the end of the day, the rivals realized that their tribe got weaker and they surrendered. The kingdom was safe now. A treaty took place between the tribe members and the kingdom for peace after a weak of war and conflict.
(A/n: I don't know a shit about wars. And I hate violence. So I keep it short. Hope you all understand and forgive me for my mistakes.)
