King Stone takes Rose down and starts walking holding her hand. Rose looked around happily with curiosity..
A Shopkeeper shouting there, “come... come... Make a bet and win a lot...”
Another shopkeeper shouts, “Come... take this hot cake”
People around look at them in amazement, “He is King Stone...”
“Who is that beautiful girl with him?”
“Speak slowly, she is the Queen …”
“Oh how beautiful she is...”
“Our King is really beautiful...”
Rose look at King Stone after hearing their talks... King Stone is looking everywhere with a calm face. Rose started observing his face.... Beautiful watery big black eyes, straight but carved nose, lotus petal pink lips, blonde color, long black but attractive hair , style of walking, fearless calm gaze, warm loving hand …
Rose realize King Stone is holding her hand. Rose's cheeks turn red. She says in her mind, “If he had been in my time, he would have become a hero … Handsome, Dashing and smart and he is also good at fighting. Come on Rose he is King Stone.... but he is my husband... Unknowingly Rose presses King Stone's hand tightly … King Stone looks at Rose in surprise, “What?”
Rose got confused and avoids his gaze, “Nothing … I am …” she looks down … her cheeks are still red...
“You are OK... Your face looks red...”
All of a sudden a merchant comes in front of him … he holds the beautiful little animal's sugar cubes in front of Rose, “Take this, you will like it very much … Try it once..”
Rose look up to see those figures are small and nice, “oh my god...how cute”
King Stone says in his mind, “she got really happy with this simple things … she liked these sugar tablets...” King Stone laughs...
“What made you laugh?”
“When you behave like a little girl, smile will come only...”
“For your information, I am only 19 years old and I love chocolate...”
“Other than pills … What is this chocolate thing?”
“Oh yes, there was no invention of chocolate during this period...”
The merchant looks at both of them in confusion, “do you want take this?”
Rose looks sadly at those sugar figures, “I want to take it but I don't have any money...”
King Stone says in his mind, “she is really very sweet and pure...” King Stone smiles at Rose, “give her that cubes... I will give you coins …”
“Really …” Rose happily took that two cubes and quickly eats, “Oh these are so delicious … I'll take two more...”
“Take as much as you want...”
Rose happily eats more five cubes, “Hmmm, I eats many... now let's go...”
King Stone asked merchant, “How many coins?”
“Twenty coins …”
“Twenty...” King Stone puts his hand in the pocket of his suit and stumbles...
Rose look at him, “What happened?”
“I didn't think of coming here … so I didn't take any coins with me. I don't have any coins right now...”
Rose and the merchant both look at King Stone in panic. King Stone calls the merchant, “Look, I don't have any coins now but I will give you double coins tomorrow...”
Merchant shouts angrily, “Wow …if not today then from where they will come tomorrow. If there was no money, why she eats? If you eaten for free that won’t be good for you...”
King Stone gets angry and pulls out his sword and place on merchant, “Do you see me as a thief or liar? How dare you talk to me like that...”
Merchant joins hands in panic, “Look, please don't rob me … I'm poor. My family is running on this … please Give me a coins...”
“What do you mean? You think me as a robber … I didn't tell you …”
In the meantime, two soldiers, who are there for the security of the festival, come there after King Stone, “what is happening here...”
“Why did you take out a sword in the market?” The two soldiers come forward and look at the edge of the sword...
“Did you tell me anything?”
Both soldiers lean down on the spot as soon as they see King Stone, “Salam King King Stone … Salam Queen...” Both soldiers stop with their necks down in panic...
The merchant looks at King Stone trembling, “K..K..King..King .. King Stone. You .. You are King Stone...”
“Yes, that’s me only...”
The merchant leans on King Stone's feet and starts crying, “King … King... forgive me. I'm sorry I took you wrong... I told you all those things... I am Sorry... Please forgive me...”
Seeing all this, Rose suddenly started laughing loudly. King Stone looks at Rose in surprise. She smiles looking at the merchant,
“My husband's name is enough only... Didn’t it?”
“Empress … Empress, forgive me...”
Rose keeps laughing … King Stone laughs lightly seeing her laughing.. He removes the gold necklace from his neck and throws it to the merchant. The merchant looks at King Stone in surprise...
“Keep this as your mortgage and come to the palace tomorrow. Send all your sugar cane to Queen Bethany's palace and take as much money as you can from the kingdom...”
Merchant look shock, “King …”
“Soldiers, do you have coins?”
“Yes... Absolutely.”
“Give me everything you have and take twice from the kingdom tomorrow...”
“Yes... King …”the soldiers give their coins to King Stone. King Stone and Rose start walking back to the festival.
After some time...
“Rose, let's go to the cloth market … you want to buy silk cloth..?”
“Yes but I don't want this now...”
“What?”
Rose says in her mind, “I just want to see if you care about me or not … from what you did today, you really care about me...” Rose smiles and looks at King Stone...
“Rose …”
“What do you want to do?
“What?”
“Well, look, if you came to the festival for me, then now I want to do something for you also … You have saved my life many times, so tell me, what do you have wish to do?”
