Priests and Princess are facing each other. Both were shocked. They don't know what to do now. The priest asked the princess, your highness, what are you doing here? Why did you come to my house? Is it because of you, the guards searched our place? Nicole started to reply, I apologise for the inconvenience. Priest said, your highness, why are you apologising to me?
I am just a person in your kingdom. You are a ruler, you shouldn't apologise to us. But can I ask you one question? With all due respect, why did you come to my house? She replied firmly, because I love your son. For that answer the priest was shocked and nearly felt dizzy. But after a while, he asked, your highness, what are you telling? We are just priests in your kingdom, you are a princess, how can you love my son? If your family knows about it, all our family would be killed.
Cedric approached front and started to talk, Father, Forgive me if I talk anything wrong, but please give me a chance to explain. Priest sighed and said, OK, tell me what you have to say. Cedric started, Princess is the next one to get the throne and she is an adult now. So she can decide whatever she wants. No family member has the right to say no.
And this might be a perfect opportunity to save the goodness on ceretron. Now our situation is not good, no one is hearing us and everyone is insulting us and punishing us. If the situation continues this way then we lose the opportunity to remove evil. But if we become members of the royal family. The respect towards us increases.
Every person in the ceretron obeys our words. So ceretron has again a chance to save the goodness. And again our child becomes a priest and a king. The blood in him 8s both royal and noble. So in this way the ruling will be both royal and noble. So the ceretron becomes a pure place. So please allow us to marry Father. This might be good for ceretron. Priest found logic in his argument. So he allowed them to marry, only if the royal members also allow for them to marry. I've no problem if the royal family approves your marriage. Nicole replied, thank you so much, father.
I can change my family and make them approve this marriage. Priest felt so happy for her words. Then she asked for leave and went outside. On the outside she saw both sides that no one was looking and hugged him because of the happiness of his father's approval. She went back to the Palace silently and went to her room. After a while the Queen entered the room. We don't know what happened in the room. Then she left. After so many days. Their love is improving daily.
Then suddenly a tragic incident took place. The priest's mother went to the lake for water, she slipped into the lake and died. It's ironic because she has been collecting water from that lake since her childhood. This type of incident never took place. And she knows to swim. But they are in very much sorrow to think about this logic. Nicole came to visit and cried a lot. Everyone considered that incident as a curse. Because a noble woman like that doesn't die in such a way till now.
Something happened that caused a curse to the priests. Cedric thought that he broke a rule and allowed other than priests into that uncharted territory caused this curse. He can't forgive him. But he can't do anything about it now. So after a lot of crying they decided to Bury her and buried her. Then they were in a bad mood for many days.
No one understood the mystery in that accident. In such conditions suddenly the elder priest Cedric's father also died in the same kind of accident. They decided that it's definitely a curse. Now Cedric doesn't have anyone except Nicole and Charlotte. He is an orphan now. He cried a lot and those are very bad days in history. Now his biggest fear is that something will happen to Nicole. He can't bear that thought. So he took much care of her.
All people started to keep the priest away as they thought that he was cursed and anyone who was near Cedric would suffer. So it's another sorrow for him. His mother and father left and no one is allowing him to come near. He doesn't know what to do now. He can't visit Nicole as many times he wants because she is a princess. Soon the much awaiting day has arrived. The day of the tree giving fruit. He has to go there for that fruit. It will be present for only one day.
Next day it will fall off. Again it takes 5000 years to bloom one. So he has to go there despite all the conditions. He is now an orphan. He has only Nicole. So he decided to take her there. He went for Nicole and after many struggles he finally met her. He explained everything to her and asked her to come with him to that uncharted territory. She accepted and her mother tried to stop her. But she doesn't care about her mother and coming with him.
The clock is ticking. Only a few more hours to go to the tree. He took her into the dark room. He tried to chant but he couldn't keep his concentration. So the portal is not opening. He tried many times but the frequency is not matching. The time is very little now. He has to open the portal. He didn't know what to do and started to cry. She consoled him and motivated him that it's his duty to get to the tree. No matter what happens to you or your beloved ones. You have to go to the tree now. It's your birth cause. So don't waste your time and try to concentrate.
Forget about the rest. Soon he tried to concentrate but he couldn't open the portal. She is soothing him with soft words and trying to calm him down. But nothing is working. She tried her best and tried so hard. After a while, he is able to open the portal. In this way he succeeded to open and they both entered the portal. The portal got closed.
Only a few minutes left for his reach. Both of them are moving very fast with very cautious and escaping every trap. Soon they've reached the final trap, The snake swamp. It's not like the remaining Traps. They should be very calm to escape them. But now in this kind of situation it's impossible for them. So they don't know what to do. The clock is ticking…..
To be continued….
