PAINS MADE HIM CRUEL...

WEDDED TO THE KING

( He's cruel but she is crazy )

Chapter 8

Lara stretched out her hands happily, feeling the cool Breeze.

She has never been this happy.

She smiled and walked around the village with Kali, her Personal maid.

Seems you're good mood today, your Highness. She said and smile.

Yes, Kali. Am very happy. Princess Lara said.

May I know why? She pressed further.

Am just happy today Kali, there must not be a reason . She replied with a shrug.

You don't want to tell me. Huh! She pouted.

You don't need to know, Kali. Lara chuckled.

Okay, should I guess. Am good at guessing your Highness. Kali said.

Okay, go on. Lara said.

There is a bench over there, let's sit down your Highness. Kali said and the both went to sit.

So, am guessing you're happy because, the King slept in your Chamber yesterday. Kali said and Lara's cheek reddened.

Ohh, Kali what's your Problem. She whispered.

My Princess, your cheek.... Your blushing hard. Kali giggled and Lara covered her face.

You know Princess, I mistakenly entered your room this morning. Kali said and Lara gasp.

What did you see? Lara asked with widened eyes.

I saw so many things, then I ran out.

You were both engrossed in what you were doing, that you didn't even notice someone was there. Kali said and Lara blushed the more.

Ohh, heavens. Kali.... She giggled.

Lara loved Kali more than a Mistress would love her slave. She was like Sister to her.

Kali, tell me more about the King and how his Parents died. Princess Lara said.

But, my Princess. It is...

I won't say a thing Kali, I promise. Lara assured her.

Okay.

Long time ago, when King Nicklaus was still a boy. He was thirteen. He loved flowers, but most especially music. He loved music and his Mom would always sing for him.

His father built a garden for him, where he planted different flowers. His father was a great King. He loved his people so much.

But then, one night while celebrating King Nicklaus's birthday. Armed men entered the palace and shot the King and Queen right before him in the garden where he cherished the most.

He became Cruel, fill with rage. He has never smiled, neither has he laughed. People still wonder if he could ever change.

That's it, your Highness. Kali said and looked up...

My Princess, you're crying. She said and cleaned up her face.

That was so touching, Imagine the pain he goes through each night. Princess Lara said sniffing.

If that was his past,she should make sure his future is filled with happiness.

Thank you Kali. She said and got up.

I think we should head to the palace now. Princess Lara said walking away...

*****

Beth was taking a stroll around the Palace when she sighed the Princess..

Time to introduce myself. She said and walked towards the Princess.

Your Highness. She said and bowed to Lara.

Who are you? Lara asked.

Am Beth, a friend to King Nicklaus.

Ohh, am Princess Lara. Lara said.

Nice to meet you Princess, I'll get going now. Beth said and walked away...

Princess Lara stood there staring at Beth, as she walked away. Something about her is off. She thought and proceeded to the King's Chambers...
