This part is narrated by king Markus himself.
You don't know what I am or what I have become......
You may be wondering, what am I saying. But towards the end you will understand why I said so.

My father Alexander was the King of Frankish kingdom. With his palace at the capital city of Saintes. Unlike many other kings he was a righteous person. Never allowed any evil to a disgrace him. Many a times, his righteousness fetched him many enemies. Many of the neighboring kingdoms,who were supposed to be his friends were actually his enemies, who would rather pretend to be his friends.

Because there was a problem with my father. He never want to start a war...But once started,no man on earth had ability to stop him.

It could b said that, the presence of the holy one was always with him,which brought him success in every thing he did.

Iberians an all time enemy of our kingdom, was always been a threat to the people. since ages, they are trying to defeat our dynasty,but couldn't succeed.

As the war was going on from many days....Mother ordered me to go and visit father so as to inquire about the situation.

I,along with few soldiers and two trustworthy servants prepared for the journey towards the border.Mother commanded the servants to load the horses with enough supplies for the long journey. Since,our capital city was at the center of the kingdom, it was a long journey towards the border. Mother gave me her cross and blessed me and asked me to return as early as possible..... she would be waiting for me.

After riding all the day,we all were tired, so decided to stop at the city of Agen.As I was visiting the city for the first time, the soldiers were finding it difficult to make the people understand that am prince Markus and I need a place to rest.

It was a funny seen.Hahahaha...... I started laughing.

Finally they were successful in making them understand.

The people over there couldn't even imagine, prince Markus visiting them. They arranged for me the best cottage of the city.

Ignishious,the owner of the cottage welcomed me and ordered a servant to lead me to the room. Servants and soldiers had a separate cottage.

It was a well furnished room, with red carpets and curtains all around and Crystal lamps. I had a good sleep.
Early morning I went to the garden for a morning walk. There I stood lame,when I saw a lady, an angel..standing with a bunch of flowers............
