The birthday of Prince Enrique was being celebrated with great pompous and show. A ballet dance was organised with beautiful young girls who hailed from Scotland. King and queen too danced. The ball-room was decorated with flowers, lights and lamps, sparkles and glitters. Hundred maids and servants were employed for the guests. This was the first time that such a huge gatherings was organised so therefore King Alfred wanted it to be great and impressive. Everybody looked glamorous and stunning. The big, large gowns of pretty ladies and men who wore their royal suit, it looked really marvellous. There were large varieties of foods, thousand delicious Cookies and biscuits , cakes and pastries, desserts and natural juices, wine and syrup.
Enrique stood with Johan in the middle of the ball room. He knew very well an eye was fixated on him and that was Marvin, the right hand of Crown Queen. He was cunning and authoritative in his voice. Everybody listened him and Enrique knew it quite clearly that he might had some chosen people to spy on him.
Enrique....
I stood reluctantly with Johan who was eyeing some gorgeous women. Though he wanted to go and talk to them but I stopped him because I needed to run away. Last time I was though accomplished but I got caught so I was sure today some of the guards had tightened their work.
Five days back of my birthday, I was successful in visiting a circus. But my hunger of watching the circus vanished in thin air when accidentally I collided with her. She seemed to be familiar. I did not know for certain period of time, I was back in my childhood. I stared her for complete five minutes. She had been wearing a scented-flower tiara and because we fell on the ground her tiara got crushed. She looked at me angrily and started chattering something but I took everything in deaf ears. She had that same beautiful eyes, orbs were greenish in colour, such long hairs and a little pretty face. I was deeply lost in her eyes. The girl was immensely beautiful, my eyes travelled to her slender neck and then to her collar bones, she was wearing a heart-shaped silver pendent. The pendent placed right at the beginning of her curves. My eyes now reached to her waist and before I could go more down, she pushed me, causing me to fall. But royal soldiers held me before I could fall. The reason of my collision was not intentionally instead they were chasing me and thus I ran and barged on her.
"Who are you?" That girl asked me directly looking at eyes. One of the soldier who was holding my hand was about to burst but then I kicked his legs and hinted him to be silent.
"Is he a thief? Did he steal anything?" She asked a soldier keeping one of the finger on my chest."
"Remove your hand dear lady, he is not what you think." the soldier replied,
"Then who is he? Answer me?" She was hell-bent to know about me.
"He is a traitor." A voice came from my behind and when I turned back, thank god, he was there to save me. Johan was there at the right time, right place and right moment. He saved me. I was smiling at him in relief. He blinked his eye. As a royal, we had no right to be in a public place
"What? traitor, so I was correct, a monkey like you can be a traitor only. You spoiled brat, don't you have shame, does being a traitor brings you fortune?"
She continued insulting me very bitterly but I just stood still like a tree. I did not know what had happened to me, I was looking at her, plump pink lips. Whatever she was saying I found it to be sweet and lovely. I just listened to her and she was unstoppable with her blabbering.
"Is she that girl? or it's just my illusion?"
"I might be wrong but my heart says she was that woman only."
I wanted to ask her name but it could not be done. She was wearing an old dull colour dress, looking at her I thought, she was not a princess but a normal girl who lived somewhere in Jermain. And that's why I was trying to escape once again. I wanted to meet her again, to see once again, to know about her, to know her name, to know if she was that same Rylee only, if she was that childhood love of mine. I wanted to know everything about her.
There were lot of questions revolving in my mind about her all these days. I was constantly thinking about her. And today was the day I could get a chance.
( A loud sound was heard, somebody hit a gong, a royal announcement was heard.)
" All these years, I have struggled hard to serve my countrymen, I have fought battles, I have won wars in order to give you all a safe, peaceful life but now my time has ended. So today on this auspicious day, I am announcing that very soon this throne would be given to it's new king, very soon Prince Enrique will become the king. A royal wedding is being awaited." King forwarded a message in the crowd and very soon they started talking to each other.
"Is it about your wedding?" Johan asked narrowing his eyes.
"I don't know, I am not aware any of these thing." Enrique looked confused. King Alfred walked towards his son.
"A happiest birthday to my son and here is your present. She is Princess Sophia of Erox ." King introduced a woman. Prince looked puzzled, everything was clear now in his mind. He got a very astonishing surprise. He looked stunned but somebody pinch him, Johan hinted his eyes. Sophia has extended his hand and Enrique had to kiss it. He held her hand, gently kissed above portion of her her hand. They cross checked each other's eyes and just passed a unwanting smile.
"I invite you all to witness this royal wedding soon." King announced, everyone who were present in the ball room started clapping.
