"Don't worry ! This isn't the end . I'm sure we will meet again . Remember the promise we made on the night of our marriage with stars as the witness . We will always remain together connected no matter which part of the world we live even death won't do as apart . I'm sure we will reunite Alisha !"
"I wish so too !! I believe you Zen ..Thank you for showing me the true form of life . I saw my life through you and I'm glad that I don't have any regrets . " Those were the last words they spoke . Tears fell down through her cheeks as she lay on his chest. The battlefield dry leaving scarlet stains . The wind blew . A smile embraced their lips .

Beautiful day , beautiful sky .. I love the way those birds fly . A cool breeze hits me trying to make its way and I breathe in to enjoy my day . This world we live in is so adorable , so beautiful , that I can't describe with the limit of my vocabulary . As I stand on the balcony of my room I see a lot of things . This is the first thing I do as soon as I wake up . Mom and dad are always busy with their work , Ofcourse working at the palace as the financial advisors isn't a minor job and I'm left alone in this huge house on my own with some of the housekeeping staff and maids . I get dressed up in a normal top and jeans although my family prefers I wear long gowns .. seriously I find it so difficult to handle them . Everything has to be done indoors and I'm not allowed to step outside . I have to study, learn to play musical instruments ..etiquette lessons etc etc and I don't really care about it at all . What I want is to explore and find new meanings to life . Meet new people and understand relationships even better . A normal life is so good . I want to play catapult games with those little boys on a nearby playground . Watch the birds feed their little ones. Have a nap on the fields under the shades of huge trees ... man I really have a long list of things I want to do but hardly any of my wishes come true . The very reason we are standing and are able to breathe , I realise they are all just miracles by themselves . I love this world .. I love it's beauty although I have only seen the view from my window A playground ...lying grass ..tall trees , drifting clouds , bright sun , shining moon ..vendors ..sometimes a man selling cotton candy even though it's little it's more than sufficient to give me pleasure .

The first prince and also heir to the throne is sitting in his quarters looking through the various matters he got . The king is not keeping well so he is been a little too busy than usual . His advisor Neil knocks on the door to bring him food .
"Do you still have work , Your Highness! "
"Oh yes . I don't think I'll be done with by today but I want you to proceed with the ones I have finished " He says straightening his glasses as his eyes are still locked on the document .
"You surely cannot neglect your health . Please proceed after having your meal Sir . The chef prepared something special for you today "
"Food is food Neil I don't really understand what's special in it .Anyways I'll have it later also thank Chef Mihaya for being considerate. "
"I will but I won't let you continue . You can resume after having your meal. "
"It's alright ."
"No Your Highness . I'll be there to help you so don't worry about it "
He says inclining his head and resting his palm on his chest .
"Well you are the only one I can rely on . Fine then " He agrees and removes his glasses . Neil is quite a few years older to Prince Zen . His trusted advisor who has remained by his side since he was young . He is very loyal to him and also dutiful . He makes sure to keep his master safe and protected taking care of his little things too .
"And also ..Your Majesty has summoned you this evening . He wishes to speak to you of something crucial . "
"I see. I wonder what is it that he wants to talk to me about . "
"I'm afraid I do not know Young lord! "
The kingdom of Isla was a beautiful land . The people lived happily and respected the king . No one ever complained about his rule . The king always kept the public ' s interest before anything . He wanted peace and tranquillity to be maintained under his jurisdiction. He was hailed as the great king for being able to conquer most of the states . It wasn't possible without the help of his sons . The neighbouring nations feared them and that included the land of lauderdale to which Alisha belonged .
"May I come in Your Majesty ?"
"Sure . Please come in, Zen "
"I was told you summoned me to discuss something important "
"Yes . That's right . I apologise for burdening you with this knowing full well how busy you are but I cannot entrust this to anyone else so I want you to do it ."
"Anything for you My lord ".
"I want you to visit the land of Lauderdale. One of our neighbouring lands . We would like to negotiate about our trade relationships with them . Our trade council of members have come up with certain measures which I want them to know . Our Vice president and certain officers will accompany you on the trip which is scheduled for 2 days from now ."
"Yes . I understand Your Majesty . I'll make sure to execute it properly "
"Thank you so much ! " Zen leaves and Neil makes arrangements for his journey . Will this trip bring change to Zen's fate ? Is this going to change him ? Will he meet Alisha ? Will this bring a turnover in events ? Read the next chapter to know !!
