Queen tacha: you really trouble yourself a lot my king why don’t we invite the whole maidens into this kingdom to come to this palace to show their talent am sure our son might see his bride in this competition
King Jesse:that’s a brilliant idea why don’t you call me the stewards so they can go into the provinces to disseminate this information
Queen Jesse: look Whose there , the talk of the devil don’t tell me you’ve been eaves dropping to our conversations
King jessse:You mean the prince has been here and we didn’t see him?
Prince jasmine:Lols father pardon my manners I was about coming in when I heard your discussions I didn’t want to interrupt so I decided to hid myself at the back of the door.But Father I am matured enough to choose my bride
King Jesse:Then do what’s right before I force you to do otherwise,what’s wrong with you?just take a look at yourself, do you think you are getting any younger at 26 you have no girlfriend or wife .Son get ready because you are choosing a wife before tomorrow’s sunset
Prince jasmine :That’s weird father how do you expect me to choose someone I know nothing about,this is marriage we are talking about .Someone I will definitely spend my entire life with, you can’t choose a bride for me and that’s final
King Jesse:How dare you talk to your father the king in such tone .Woman warn your son tell him to get ready for tomorrow occasion and make sure you don’t disgrace me
Queen Tacha: Long live my royal majesty have mercy on your son he will come back to his senses

Rose:It’s a long story as rose began to sob and narrate .My parents were being maltreated over something they knew nothing about,my brother was killed same as my father and my mother. I decided to run away from the kingdom after the incident so I went to the hills to hid myself unfortunately luck wasn’t on my side I was caught and my father’s friend who plotted the evil told the people that I was a witch that I should be punished for bewitching my family
The people decided to banish me

Prince jasmine:What could that be
Rose: My name is Rose lugard daughter daughter of Fredrick Lugard
Prince jasmine:Wow what a small world Are you serious,my dad once told me about his friend Fredrick lugard but if that’s the case ,he’s a wealthy man how come you are his daughter and what are you doing here?
Rose:Don’t ask any more questions until I am done with what am about to say
Prince jasmine:okay go on
Rose:My father Fredrick lugard was a captain and a generous man which made everyone in the kingdom to love him so much .As of that time The king had no son and he was already sick and old waiting for the day to die,so he was asked by his prominent men of the council to pick a successor,since he had no child to take over his throne.He agreed and he was happy cause he loved my father and he had taken him as his own son ,so he appointed my father and the king threw a very big for party for my father who was suppose to be the incoming king .Some of my father’s friend were not happy about this new development especially Jesse,who was his best friend and as of that time Jesse had a child who he sent out of our kingdom to abroad
to study medicine and that was the last I saw him before then we were just teenage lovers
Prince jasmine:oh no,this can’t be rose What are you saying ,Wait a minute do you realize that Jesse is my father and am his son
Rose:What!!!
Prince jasmine how come your name is rose?
Rose: And how come your name is jasmine wait a minute that means you are the prince?
They was a great silent as both stared at each other
Minutes later rose began to agitate answer me now you son of the devil
Prince jasmine:Am sorry when I returned home after my study ,my father was already the king and I was told how Your father and his family perished according to my father he said his friend was bewitched and killed by his daughter whom decided to exploits her powers given to her by the sorcerer
Chapter 6
Rose :did I hear you say a sorcerer.when it’s obvious that your father Jesse killed my father,on that party day the king golden shoe he had prepared to wear for the occasion was missing and his wife golden bracelet was also missing so the king had to stop the party, for it was a royal insult for the kings item to be missing on the day he needed it most.
So Jesse your father and the sorcerer went and told the king they knew where he could find those missing items and they asked the king to make a decree before anything could be done and he asked them to behead anyone found guilty and anyone trying to stop them
So the sorcerer used his magical powers to invoke those items into my parents room and immediately they went for the search,they saw it and that was how a whole captain was humiliated.The king couldn’t help but cry since he couldn’t reversed his words cause he knew something was wrong and it was not my father.My brother on the other side was trying to stop the sorcerer and Jesse but because of the kings degree he was beheaded along side with my parents
Immediately tears began to flow from her eyes
So I didn’t have any option but to flee to somewhere were nobody could find me and I changed my name from Lenora to Rose what about you?
Prince jasmine:when I came back as the new crowned prince I was ask to change the name Angeleo to bear the name jasmine
Rose:Yes I heard it that few weeks later the king died of cardiovascular disease and after a week your father was made king with the help of the sorcerer
Prince jasmine:sorry my princess am sorry just that this world is too small. I am not my father,we can still be together if you still want can’t you see fate really want to bring us together
I came in here disguised cause I was searching for true love and my bride to be
Can’t you see the leadership will still go back to you as the real princess and with me by your side we will rule in good fate
Rose: I meant it when I first said I love you when we were teens and now I still and will always love you
King jasmine:I do too,guess what
Rose:What ?you know I can’t guess
King jasmine: tomorrow is the 7th day I told my father that I will be returning home with my bride .So am going to give you some dresses you are going to wear tomorrow cause you are going to look gorgeous just like the princess you are

Tongues began to wag round about the prince wife and how beautiful she was.In the kings palace they were enough food to drink and enough wine to drink and the celebration continues until they were light out and everyone returned to their various home
Chapter 9
5days later after the wedding,the queen had gone to rose room to inform her about the feet washing ritual which was mandatory for all individuals living in the royal palace as to prevent enemies harming them.the sacred feet touching was seen as protection against evil
Rose had agreed as she went into her wardrobe to chose a royal outfit for herself,then she wore a beautiful red gown that was sleeveless
Then she came down to meet her husband as he was already waiting for his father and mother to conduct the feet washing.
As the king was coming down stairs ,he then stared at Rose back which was open then he saw a mark on her back which signaled something to the kings brain
King Jesse:oh my goodness sake am doomed could it be what am thinking is this not Lenora the daughter of Fredrick but how come she’s answering Rose and not Lenora could it be she changed her name just like my son changed his
The king anger grew no bound as he roared like a lion even his wife became confused as she couldn’t tell the exact thing that pissed her husband off
King Jesse:where is that devil,where is that daughter of a beast whose mission is to destroy my royal home and take away my kingship ,he was still roaring as he was coming downstairs
Queen tacha:hun wait a minute what are you saying,whose daughter are you referring to as devil
King Jesse:woman am doomed rose as killed me.
Queen tacha: I really do not understand.what has the poor girl done to you?
King Jesse didn’t utter anymore word as he was coming downstairs to meet rose.
Queen tacha was also thrown into a confused state as she couldn’t comprehend what the husband was saying
Chapter 10
The king goes downstairs and grabbed rose on her neck ,you devil I remembered vividly that I was the one who inflicted this mark on your neck,you think I won’t recognize you Lenora so you decided to deceive my son by changing your name to rose you daughter of a beast
Everyone was bewildered as stewards ran into the room to watch the drama that was unfolding itself
Prince jasmine :Father take your filthy hands off my wife you should be grateful we didn’t spill any of your secret or you think I don’t know how you accused and killed her father not just that you also killed her only brother and mother and now you have the impetus to confront her .Awnnmm now I understood you perfectly so father you also want to kill but sorry father you are doomed is either you ask for her forgiveness or you get ready for war
Queen tacha:please just tell me you didn’t do any of these accusations laid upon you
King Jesse:Son I can see you grew a lot of winks that’s making you talk to me anyhow but I assure you am going to trim them off .I did that because I wanted the best for you but you have to let her go
Prince jasmine:over my dead body will I let her go,I lost her the first time and I already promised myself not to loose her the second time
Rose:I am ready to dare the mouth of the lion ,I am ready for war
The king then ordered his stewards to behead her
Chapter 11
No way said prince jasmine you can’t take her away
Immediately the king brought out his magical sword placed on rose face she immediately turned into a dragon .
As everyone in the palace began to run helter-smelter except from the king
The prince began to chase the dragons but couldn’t get hold of the dragon
He immediately used his magical watch to track the location of the dragon and flew to where the dragon was and held it close to himself as they journeyed back to the greatest sorcerers house.The greatest sorcerer of all who had and knew how the magical powers came to be
Prince jasmine: please,please sorcerer help revive my wife she’s all that have got in this whole world
Sorcerer Ben:it’s wouldn’t be an easy task as you have to try your luck,your father has a great sorcerer who gives him magical powers
For you to restore your wife you have to steal your father’s magical sorcerer book by so doing she will be free
Prince jasmine: is that all I will be leaving tonight to the sorcerer place when he must have gone for his consecutive meeting to enable me carry out my plans well
Sorcerer Ben: well said my son just rest and take care of your wife
Prince jasmine: I can’t believe my father can actually turn my wife into an animal that shows how heartless he is
Sorcerer Ben: it’s okay my prince your wife will be well again
As the sorcerer served them food they ate and slept off
Chapter 12
At midnight the prince had already mapped out his plans and tactics he was going to use for the success of his journey.
Hours later he arrived at the sorcerer house and found that the sorcerer was already communicating with the spirit he immediately took his magical book and disappeared with it
Prince jasmine got back and handed the book over to sorcerer Ben and he immediately withdrawn the kings power and that of the king sorcerer which made them became powerless
When he was done with it he went straight to the dragon he touched the dragon head and it turned to rose
Rosel thank you for saving me
Prince jasmine:Thank you for saving my wife
SorcererBen:You are welcome,now all the power you need is in your possession,as I speak to you your father and his sorcerer are powerless
You can now go back to your palace and claim what’s yours
Rose danced in joy as she couldn’t believe that she was well again
Rose and prince jasmine decided to go back to the palace to see the kings reaction
Chapter13
The king sorcerer had visited the king to make complaints about the missing magical book which lies their power
Sorcerer:king we are highly doomed I couldn’t find my magical book and without that book you won’t be able to exercise your authority as the king of this kingdom
King Jesse:you can’t be serious are you saying the magical book is missing,how and why
Prince jasmine walked in majestically with his bride rose
King Jesse: Rose you are well again how come?
Prince jasmine yes she’s well again I stole the sorcerer magical book
King Jesse :became angry brought out his sword and pointed it out to his son but nothing came out of it
Prince jasmine began to laugh uncontrollably at his father Hahahahahah
The father knew he’s time and that of the sorcerer were up
Immediately he fell at his knees and began to ask for rose forgiveness
One of the steward ran and told the queen what was happening she rushed out and also join the king to ask for rose forgiveness
King jasmine:Am sorry my daughter,please forgive me I did what I did out of jealousy and am ready to give you my entire kingdom
Rose:Began to cry as her heart began to melt towards the king and she has asked to king to stand to his feet with the queen
After a while the king made a loud noise he slumped and died of cancer
Rose and jasmine cried as the king couldn’t spend little time with them
The kings burial was fixed and he was laid to rest
And prince jasmine was crowned king while rose crownedqueen and they lived happily ever as couple .
