At my chamber
I woke up quite early today, it was just 5:00am, I stood up lazily from my bed yawning and went to the privy, freshened up and performed ablution. I walked to my closet, grabbed my hijab, prayed and recited the Quran before proceeding to King's chamber, I know my mum will also be there. It was already 7:00am

At the king's chamber
Assalamu alaikum, wa'alaikumusalam they both chorused. Ina kwana (good morning) I greeted squatting, Lfy qlau Gimbiya, kintashi Lfy? Lfy umee (mum). The King looks more worried than sad and they both seemed serious, I wondered what they were discussing before I came in. Abba! (dad) is everything fine? I asked, he just hhhmmed without answering my question, umee! (mum) What happened? I turned back to mum, princess look! Mum finally replied you know your father ordered war against the Bulkan empire, our knights are trying their best but their best is not just enough, we've lost 200 soldiers now she said more in whispers. Innalillahi wainailahi raji'un was all I could utter, dad! War? How are we even sure King Jalaludeen is responsible for yaya Ammar's death? I thought of telling him the truth but I couldn't and besides now I'm not even sure that that imbecile (Mr red) killed him. The king's phone rang, wa'alaikumusalam he answered the salam from the other side, I didn't know what he was told but at least he looks a little bit relaxed. Okay Thank you he said while dropping his phone. What happened my mum asked in curiosity, I was also very curious to know what happened. He took time before he started talking and l felt like drawing the words out of his mouth, I hated suspense. The commander just called me, he said their soldiers were not prepared so they were off quickly, the prince himself joined in the battle and he has been captive he said as he smiled wickedly. So now victory is ours though half of our soldiers are dead and half wounded. He was the only one that seems happy, but you know this is far from over right? The Queen asked more like a statement than a question. How could so many people loose their lives over just one dead person, it's not fair I thought and how could this give my dad any satisfaction. He seems so satisfied. Sultan! My mum called out to him she seems more angry than serious, why are you putting this entire kingdom at stake for a dead, you are endangering the lives of your children more and more by doing this, you know king Jalal won't let this go so easily, just tell them to release the prince, call him now, yes I nodded in agreement. No one can change my decision, I know what I'm doing and I'm ready for the worst, the King said as he left us alone and he headed to his room. This won't be as easy as we thought princess, the Queen looked at me. Hmmm

Bulkan empire
The war was finally over and the crowned prince has been taking away. Blood shed everywhere, crying of widows and orphans echoed around the whole village, no one was spared, properties were destroyed, many injured and many bodies laid lifeless on the floor, It was indeed a great disaster. The King sat without a definite facial expression as the bad news was been broken to him, your highness! The prince has been murdered..... He looked as if he was already expecting that to happen, where is his dead body? He asked. His body is nowhere to be found your highness! Look for his body and bring him to me he ordered and yes do not attack the Jullan kingdom yet because they will be expecting, I will inform you on when to take a move, everyone out, I need to be alone. They all went out without questioning his order.
Everyone in the Bulkan kingdom thought the prince has been murdered but he was with the Jullans.

Jullan empire
The soldiers were all welcomed, they bought the prince with them, he was badly injured. Tie him down the King ordered, he will be executed tomorrow and his dead body will be sent to his father. I really pited him, I couldn't let an innocent soul to be murdered so brutally. I have to help him I thought .....
