Clara puts her hand over her mouth in panic, “No, what did I say ... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that ... I'm sorry, but you are very good, then why are you marrying such a ruthless evil King? As I thought ...”
“Calm down ... don't be afraid, I'm not angry with you” Clara looks at Rose in amazement. Rose slowly pats Clara on the shoulder and reassures her, “Clara, as a friend, will you answer my one question?”
“What's the question?”
“King Stone .... How he is a... I mean what he is really?”
Clara wipes her eyes and sits next to Rose, “According to what I have heard, King Stone is really a very difficult man to understand. No one is happy to be with him. He is cruel, ruthless and he is crazy about beautiful women. He drinks alcohol and his whimsy is very strange.”
Rose sighs desperately, “No wonder Bethany ran away ...”
“What?”
“No... Nothing ...”Rose was serious, “Clara, if I don't get married, the Lewis family will be in big trouble?”
“Absolutely ... The whole family will be put to death for breaking their promise.”
“What ... straight death penalty?”
“Don't be afraid, they will be punished only if you say no to marriage, but if you say yes to marriage, then there is no reason to worry, right?”
Rose desperately falls on bed ... she says in her mind, “I am not Bethany ... I am only 19 years old now, this is not my marriage age. But if I say no to marriage, then Bethany's family will end.... I am no longer Rose, I am Bethany now. If I consider her house as mine, if I consider her family as my family, then I have to fulfill her responsibilities also.”
Rose confidently got up, “Clara, I have decided”
“Which decision?”
“No matter what, I'm getting married ... for the Lewis family” Rose look at Clara with a smile on her face ... Clara leave the room without saying anything and Rose fall on the bed crying.
2 days later. ..... In Lewis's house, Rose sitting in her room in a very beautiful dress, looking sadly in the mirror in the bride's attire. Bethany's mother combing her hair
“Bethany, since you were born, I wanted to see you dressed as a bride ... to see your wedding ... but...” Tears comes in Bethany's mother's eyes, “I never dreamed that your marriage would be with King Stone ... Forgive me dear, I am your mother and I am sending you to hell with my own hands. I don't like to be called a mother.”
Rose lovingly wipes mother's eyes, “You are a very good mother ... I have no complaints about you.”
“Bethany ...”
“Mom we have to do this ...”Rose smiles sweetly holding mother's hand, “King Stone... no matter how bad he is ... I promise I will take care of myself and I will not let him harm me. So now have a sweet smile and enjoy your daughter’s wedding”
Bethany's mother embraces Rose, “You have become very understanding my daughter ... Listening to your speech my heart became a little stable. Now I will be calm. I am sure my daughter will take care of everything competently”
“Yes mom ...”
Rose says in her mind, “How old is this old dress ... How many more times do I have to wear it ...”
When Elliot comes to the door of the room, “ready Bethany .... I have come to take you to the tent.”
“I'm ready.”
The wedding was going on in a royal manner..... In the evening of that day, Rose cried and said goodbye to everyone. It sits. All relatives of King was getting ready to go to New Palace with his new bride. King Stone rides a horse
“King take care of my sister” Elliot said to him
“Of course I will take care of her.” After saying this, King Stone heels the horse and runs away without waiting for anyone. Elliot let out a desperate sigh and gestured for relatives to leave.
Rose could not see anything outside because of the curtains of the Palanquin. She was bored sitting down, “How much longer will it take ... I'm hungry”
The Palanquin is stopped and unloaded
“It looks like we reached” When Rose slowly came out of the Palanquin, she was in front of a magnificent palace with a beautiful wooden and gold carving. Beautiful maids like in heaven stood in front of her to greet her. She was greeted in the rain of flowers, to the sound of musical instruments. A chief maid holding Rose's hand take her in front of King Stone’s palace.
Inside the palace, the whole palace is adorned with beautiful flowers and curtains. Four hours go by. Mouse are dancing on Rose's stomach with hunger. As soon as all the maids go out of the palace, Rose removes the veil from her face and runs to the fruit basket placed on the table in the palace. Rose starts eating the fruit from the basket.
“Oh, I'm feeling better now ... I'm starving” As soon as Rose was eating happily, her right hand maid, who had been chosen for her, come to the palace.
She look at Rose and scream loudly in fear, “Queen, what you are doing?”
“What happened? I am just eating fruits”
“No, no, you don't understand ... why did you take off your veil? Once the veil is worn, only husband comes and takes it off. You put your veil now ... King can come anytime.” Rose carelessly ignored her and ate the fruit.
“Listen to me, Queen”
“So what should I do ... What is your name?”
“Ella ... but Queen ...”
“Ella, don't worry. You go”
“Queen. King will look at you like this and hate you”
“That's what I want ... I just want him to hate me”
“Why are you saying that ....? Do you love someone else?”
“What? No, of course not.. I just ... Look, there are some reasons about why I don't want Kingstone to touch me.”
“But Queen ...”
“Ella, stop arguing with me ... go and see when he will come. I want to make some special preparations for him.”
“OK, I will just come” Ella runs away
“Now when he comes, I will make him suffer so badly by doing horrible make-up and treating him so badly that he will never come back around me.” Rose laughs to herself and starts eating. Rose eats with all her heart and waits for King Stone to come.
1 hour goes by.... 2 hours go by ... Rose sits and gets bored, “What the hell ... He hasn't come yet and where is this Ella left? I'm bored now”
Ella came to the palace crying and running, “Queen ... King will not come here tonight”
“What?”
“Yes Queen, you got married today and King went to the palace of the dancer ...” Ella cries looking down, “King will spend the night in the palace of the dancer”
Rose was stunned for a moment ... she says in her mind, “I thought King Stone loves Bethany so he forced her to get married but it looks like something different.”
a small smile plays on Rose's face ... she says in her mind, “it’s good ... It looks like King Stone doesn't like Bethany ... Oh thank god, I got free so easily, now I don't need to do anything .... King Stone already hates Bethany”
Ella look up to find Bethany smiling instead of being sad, “Queen you are smiling? Are you alright”
“Don't worry about me, I'm fine .... On the contrary, I'm fine now. I got very tense about what will happen when he arrives” Rose starts removing her jewelry, “Ella, don't stand there just looking like that, help me to remove this ... My life is suffocating in these ornaments.”
“Yes Queen.” Ella removes the ornaments worn by Rose.... Rose has done horrible make-up to scare King Stone. Rose washes her face with clean water and removes the make-up.
“You look very beautiful even when you don't have makeup with jewelry .... You are really very beautiful.”
“Really .... Thank you.”
“I feel very bad for you .... King left his beautiful wife like you and went to the dancer.” Ella wipes her crying eyes ... Rose smiles and pats Ella's back, “Ella why do you feel bad .... King Stone will not come but in that...”
Soon the door of the palace opened and King Stone enters, “Bethany ...”
Rose and Ella got stunned.
