What if there was No Prince Charming??

The Mask Prince

"Shezadi Maha Firdous " was known in the history of haalimaka as the Princess who was a bad omen for her father the king of haalimaka,she was born in 1569 in the Great Dark Globe Palace but the day she born was ironically the same day when her father was poisoned by Baghis soldiers and with the death of her father her step-uncle become the new king .She along with her widowed mother was thrown into palace prison as her mother was the one who was accused of his husband death as she was the one made the soup which contained poison,she was not killed but was given the punishment worse than death she was given a medicine made of red scorpion poison that caused her tongue paralysis and little princes maha was considered a bad omen for the majesty of haalimaka by the astrologers thus she became the Prison Princess from the day she was born. Later after 6 years of darkful life full of pain and hatred the Dark blood Queen as the name given to her because of her betrayal to the king, committed suicide by strangling her self with the same chain which was used to tie her hand with that iron wall of the prison.Princess Maha was then shifted to a maid room cabin in the palace.Although she was a princess yet she was never given the chance to enjoy the luxuries of being a princess.Later in her life because of a civil rebel against the king she was found guilty and was sent to the white mansion for life imprisonment and like her mother she also committed suicide ...

Shezadhi Maha firdous was the name given to be by my mother who had read somewhere the history of haalimka tragic princess because she consideres me a bad omen to her life just like princess maha was to her parents I hate this name but now standing in my foster father beautiful garden this strange lady was calling my full name ..I stood there in shock but then she glared at me with her eyes and in a cold but authoriative voice ordered me to follow her, I don't know why but I started to walk beside her may be because of my vision of her being a fairy God mother just like the one cinderella found .As that lady reach the oldest tree of the garden which was now only in the form of a burned trunk she told me to stand on that trunk.I still felt it was a dream but I continued moving toward the tree and then as I just jumped up to stand on it trunk there was a huge bang something hard hit my head and I began to faint and while falling down I saw that lady smiling ironically

The moment I gained consciousness I realize I was lying on the floor of the basement of my house.I have once been to this portion of the mansion but the place looks different there were rugs on the floor of dark red colour instead of that vinyl flooring and as I tried to stand up and to look with more attentiveness I found out the room was differently decorated instead of those brown with black embroidered flowers curtain of net .These curtains were of gleaming red colour made of silk.The room was dark but because of the moonlight coming through the circle-shaped window which was not there when I visited this place most of its decoration because of their bright colour was much visible

I felt pain in my head probably because of that crash but ii completely ignore it as I was more engaged in looking at my surrounding and now as I turned around to look at the other side of the room where I find THE PRInCE MAsK enclosed in a crystal globe.I recognized this mask from my history class.I have made a presentation on the mask of a great warrior of haalimaka, the one who was considered one man army because of his great valour and courage.He was the best horse rider who once defeated the crown prince of haalimaka in a contest.His sword fighting skills, archery, kung fu was no match to any other man of his time including the royal family.Apart from being brave, he had a very kind heart and strong leader mindset.During the time of oppression of the people by their incompetent king, he was the one who was a ray of hope for his people he motivated his people to free their mind from the slavery of their corrupt king. According to him slavery attack human mind and it should be kicked out of your mind because once your mind is free to think and grow then you are truly free even if you're under physical slavery.He believed fear is the one thing which enslaves our mind and if we can free ourselves from fear of any kind then even a person alone can defeat a royal army. .....His famous phrase was " Kill the snake inside you first before focusing on the one outside you" I stand there in silence as I remembered my presentation on the mask prince.He was my childhood inspiration my prince charming for whom I have been waiting to come and rescue me.

Now standing inches away from that mask I sensed the presence of someone beside me and as I turned around I saw the lady she was now wearing a red colour gown with black strips. Her hair was covered by the black net veil.She was staring at the Mask and totally ignoring my glaring at her.I asked her in a loud shrieking voice who was she and why I was here? Hoping that she is my fairy Godmother like the one Cinderella has so my life is going to change but

Instead of answering me she said isn't this mask really fascinating,!!! Alas I am waiting for the day when I will wear it again ........wait what you said your mask ,I shouted in loud shock voice "lady I don't know who you are but this belongs to the mask prince"

She smiled at me a very sad smile and said " I am the owner of this mask I am the shezadhi Maha Firdous of halimaka .I completed her sentence you mean the tragic princess !!! .She replied in a deep strong voice as she walk to her red couch made of ruby stones " Yes. I am the princess whose father The great Murad was brutally mudered by his step brother for securing the throne,

(Queen killed the king) -

whose brave mother Queen Maya musheraye khas of the king Murad , the witness of this scene was forcefully given the posion to shut her mouth

(forever but luck was at her side as the poison effect lasted for just 3 months but in order to stay alive she faked being dum.

(The black Queen was punished for her betrayal by giving her red poison to cause her tongue paralysis)

She never gives up, the day I was born she had a dream of the throne being coloured with blood and everything was dark except the little child who was a source of light sitting on the throne.My birth was considered a sun of hope for the throne as told by the saint to my mother 3 months prior to my birth and her dream confirm his saying .

(Shezadhi Maha was a cursed child for the throne as told by astrologers)

From the day I was born to the day my mother devoted every second of her life polishing me as a warrior so that someday I will complete my real destiny.At age of four I knew 4 different languages, At age of five, she taught me how to climb a wall.She was brutally murdered in front of my eyes braves she refuses to act as a prostitute for my step-uncle

(The black blood Queen committed suicide)

as she took her last breath she told me to "Remember each moment of this horrific scene for my whole life so that when I take my revenge I have no mercy for them".I am the Shehzad maha firdous who at 6 was taken under the care of my father most loyal friend and the leader of the baghizz who was against my step-uncle rule, the soldier Noor faith as he rescued me from the royal maid slavery.

(Princess Maha firdous childhood was spent in maid cabin)

He is the one who turned me into the ONE haalimaka know as THE MAsK PriNcE., who ate age of 14 killed my father assian my step-uncle the corrupt king and ruled haalimka at age of 22

(Princess Maha committed suicide as she was so embarrassed for her betrayal to the majesty)

I gasped with shock as I heard her story. I became aware of the fact that history was wrong my prince charming was not a man but a lady of great courage.

Notes :( )shows the thoughts of Maha about the Shezadhi Maha of 1650 century based on the history as told to her.
