" Mama, I want a book which is engraved by the rare Roses of the Everlands." asks Aaditi.
"Stop it,Aaditi! You always want books and you drown yourself in studies always. When I was your age, I was persued by the most handsome Prince ever. He fought a War just to marry me. He is your Father and now, he is getting you married tomorrow." says Aaditi's Mother, the Queen in an angry tone.
"Mama but I don't want to marry someone I don't know. What if he is a bad person and likes other women and is after our resources of this Kingdom?" Aaditi raises in defense.
"Tomorrow, the Kings and Princes from the Seven Kingdoms will be present in the court and the one you pick will be the final decision."
" Bah! Get me, my book already!!! And as you wish, you shall have the requested decision making." replies Aaditi angrily.
The next day, all the Kings and Princes from various kingdoms arrive. Everyone trying so hard to win Aaditi's heart.
Aaditi was so delighted that she was having a bag full of reasons to give to her Father and her Mother to avoid spending her rest of her life with a boring easy to figure out Kings and Princes with stupid titles which could hardly remember and spell.
Just when Aaditi was ordering a drink to muster up the courage to tell her parents on how stupid the Royals were....
Just then, when the thoughts hit her head and she wanted to make a move she hears a sound made by a Horse.
A Black Horse enters with it's rider. A Fair skinned man with reddish white face with full grace and life. Eyes so powerful and strong as a thousand armies. Body Armour on his golden coat with precious stones embodied. A Crown with a heavy Diamond on top, slowly makes way to the court.
All the rich powerful Royals stare at him and even the charmers who woo the King and Queen for Gold and privilege drop their jaws to look at his All Mighty to see who he is and what he is made of.
This Prince with his Horse moves slowly towards Aaditi and he puts his arm out to her Aaditi.
"You shall be my bride. Such is the will of the Goddess. I am no Knight who shall nurture but a protector of all the realms herein with everyone within." says this mysterious Prince.
Aaditi unconsciously gives her hand to this Prince and she wears her flower crown as a sign to show that she is taken.
As this Prince and Aaditi move slowly from the court with the blessings of the King and the Queen, a random King and a Prince step forward.
"Stop it, Prince Aswin!! She is mine!!"
Aswin just stares at him and this random Prince just steps back.
King Jai couldn't take it and he pulls out his sword to attack and runs towards Prince Aswin.
Just then, the Prince's horse makes a loud noise and jumps slighty into the air as a sign to be ready to attack the King Jai.
"You cannot separate her from me. Such is the will of the Goddess. If you try again to stop me, I shall rain terror upon you and your land until the Kingdom come."
Aaditi just keeps quiet and is happy and feels secure to be chosen by the strongest man in all the Seven Kingdoms.
The journey begins to the Kingdom of Maghalaka. The King and the Queen throw flowers upon the newly wed couple from the balcony along with the Minister and the assistance who help the Royals.
The new couple pierce through their Maghalaka Army that awaits for the Prince to lead them back to the Palace. The soldiers hold their head high as they belong to the strongest Prince in all the realms.
