-Suez 1373-
Everyone in the palace were celebrating the engagement which was done, but the bride herself had her tears barely controlled.
It was Zahra's nightmare which was becoming reality and she won't let this happen.
Fidgeting with her new engagement ring which is the most expensive but still had no value to Zahra.
She's thinking about the plan, she made and she's gonna imply it pretty soon.
Sarah takes Zahra back into her room after the engagement and tears flow down Zahra's eyes uncontrollable.
Sarah locks the room door and hugs her tight saying
"We won't let this marriage happen, Zahra.. we will do something.."
She says, comforting her and Zahra replies
"Do you trust me, Sarah?"
It was a sudden question but zahra wanted the answer to reveal her plan.
"Of course.."
Sarah's says, without even thinking twice and continues her words before pulling back from the hug as both settle on the luxurious bed.
"Now say me what's going on in your little brain, princess?"
Zahra sits down on her bed and says rubbing her birth mark which is on her right wrist.
It isn't a normal birth mark. It's a moon on her wrist and she has no clue, how she got a moon on her wrist as a birth mark.
Her parents said it's nothing and just a mark. But she still feels something is yet to discover. And this suspicious birth mark is related to it.
She will find the reason soon."I won't bend to these rules anymore.."
Zahra's says, in a firm tone looking at her engagement ring.
"What do you mean? Are you going to reject the marriage?"
Sarah asks, confused.
"Marriage won't take place any time soon so we will take care about it later, but for now.. I have a plan"
Zahra says, looking at Sarah who was still looking confused.
"Princess Zahra, what is that plan you are talking about since morning?!"
She says, nearly frustrated by her best friend who's making puzzles to confuse Sarah's little brain.
"Okay.. okay.. I am going to sneak out of the palace.."
Zahra says, in a confident tone and Sarah almost shivers at her words and looks at her in disbelief.
"What?! It's risky, Zahra.. and how are you planning to do this?"
Sarah says, in a shocked tone caring for her best friend who has definitely gone mad.
Sneaking out of the palace while being a princess isn't easy with thousands of royal guards present and getting caught will be a real nightmare.
