I will know your story

We looked towards each other with our cunning eyes and then turned to take our glasses away to drink then we again smiled normally to toast.

Then the announcement was concluded. I then proceeded back to my room.

"I don't understand these rich people, The king is already giving a party to everyone in the kingdom day after tomorrow so, why did he toast with the ministers now? The toasting could be done that time as well." I thought and entered my room to change.

I changed into some normal clothes and thought of meeting Erica and her friends. It was lunch time and I think I would love to have lunch with Erica and her friends.

I without any delay went to the maid's room.

I saw every maid was sitting there and getting ready to eat.

I said aloud so that everyone can hear me "Erica!!!!"

Erica looked towards me and gave me a look. She was confused as to why is the future queen doing here. Then she smiled and came to me "What are you doing here queen?"

"I am here to eat with you all" I said.

As soon as I said that everyone got up in shock and looked at me.

I was scared of that sudden response "Gosh!!! Stop scaring me. What happened?" I asked.

"Queen, you want to eat with us?" Erica asked.

"Yes ofcourse. I hope we all can friends." I said.

Everyone looked at me with suspicion but the only problem was I couldn't tell them anything right now. Because I don't believe them yet.

Then a lady stood up and said "Queen can you tell me what are you planning? There must be something that you want from us and that is why you are even talking to us."

That lady seemed to be angry and you know that feeling when you meet someone who is the only to actually stay firmly beside you or what you call as friend.

She seemed like a lady who can stay beside me even in the most dangerous time. She had that fire in her eyes. The way she looked at me with hatred actually proved it because she hated rich people with bad intentions.

"Why do you think so?" I asked un a playful tone.

"You want Erica, don't you? I know it. Your 'Future husband' likes her and absolutely you want to get her out of your way." She said.

"It is nothing like that....."I was about to explain when she just walked past me after saying that.

I was so confused. Everyone was standing stiff thinking that I would punish them. I looked at Erica with a confused expression and pointing towards the door I asked "What is her story?"

Erica made me sit and silently said without anyone letting know like a secret and fortunately she believed me a lot "Actually when she was very small she used to stay in kingdom Zeriya where the king used to rule.....

FLASHBACK....

His rule was kind of very dominating. He ruled on the fear of people.

He made a plan about his capturing Zentopia. He wanted to capture his best friend and get his throne.

Everyone in that hall thought that this plan will destroy the friendship and there is a great change that in greed of Zentopia they will loose Zeriya as well because Zentopia is very powerful.

But even though they thought all this, no one had the courage to go against him so everyone agreed to his setting except one man who stood up and said everything that was right.

He was actually a minister and was also the head of a big village. He was a very righteous man. He never ever did anything nor did he accept the fact that someone is doing wrong infront of his eyes. He had a beautiful wife and two kids, One was Alexa and another was Alex.

At first the king said that the majority agreed to the setting so he has to go along with it.

He didn't agree and left the room. The king was furious so, at night he hired a assassin to kill the man.

He actually ordered to kill his full family but he was spotted by the family before he came in.

He was an amazing swordsman, no one could match him ever. That is why he was about to be attacked secretly but was discovered by his kid Alex. He ran in and told his father about this.

He said "Ana, you must leave with the kids. I will handle it here."

"I won't, what if something happens to you?" The wife cried.

He held his wife Ana and said "Ana, You know no one can defeat me but if you guys stay here might be he will use you guys to attack me. You will not be my strength right now. And you have a bigger job than me. Protect the kids. No matter what happens you have to protect the kids." He said.

Alex was brave by nature just like his father "No, dad. I am grown up man and I will surely fight alongside you."

Alex was small so, he sat down and said "You will. But now protect your mother and sister for me."

Alex agreed to go.

The mother with her two children left the house and started running. His father took out the sword but felt a little dizzy. This was because the king knew his character of being righteous so, he already prepared a drink for him with drug in it. This drug would take atleast 16 hours after drinking.

The attack was at 12 AM and the meeting took place at 8 AM so, he stated feeling dizzy now after 16 hours. It will be easy to attack a drugged man.

He was attacked at defeated easily.

But he couldn't find the family so, came out of the house and started running towards the forest.

The mother actually took both of her kids towards Zentopia for which they had to cross a forest.

Alexa and Ana were running in a direction but Alex was left behind by mistake because he was mesmerized by the beauty of one part of the forest.

Ana noticed after reaching a lot faraway. "Alexa!!!! Where is your brother?"

They both were scared. Alexa said that they must go back to find him. After they reached there they found the assasin running behind him with a naked sword.

Her mother was about to shout when Alexa stopped her and pulled her behind a tree to hide.

The mother tried to go out and save his son. So, Alexa had no choice but to hit her mother slightly on the head and make her unconscious.

She actually thought that even if she goes, she won't be able to save Alex and in that struggle might loose even her life. Her father sacrificed his life to save her and she was scared that they all might loose.

She was trained in swords and fight so, she easily made her mom unconscious.

After sometime when her mom woke up. Alexa was in tears and they were hiding behind the tree. She stood up and walked out of the tree and saw Alex lying there with blood on him.

"No!!!!" She ran towards him.

Alexa now came out and put hand on her mother's shoulder and said "Mom, I am sorry but I just wanted to protect you and now again I want to protect. Come with me. Let's go to Zentopia."

She was reluctant to leave her son there but after explaining that her father and brother both wanted them to be safe so they should leave, she left.

FLASHBACK ENDS....

"....She came here and after the attack, she came here to avenge her father and son. She is grown up so, no one knows her here. Not even the king." Erica finished her story.

But one doubt "So, how do you know her?And why do you tell her story like this?" I asked.

"You should ask her that. I will already be killed for telling you even this much of the story." Erica said before leaving.

I then thought that "Enemy's Enemy is bound to be a friend. But the first step is to verify the story and make friends with her. Only then can I avenge everyone. I promise you Alexa, Even if you don't help me I will avenge you and your family for you. Assuming your story is true which I will know now. Just keep watching."
