"You're putting too much jewelleries on you!" the 2nd Consort smirked.

"I'm the future Empress....today I'll meet the Prince...I don't think this is too much..." Amanda wore another ornament.

"Hah.... you're day dreaming. Didn't you see that lady yesterday with the Prince?"3rd Consort interrupted their conversation.

"You mean when we saw our Prince for the ist time in the balcony of his Manor...ahh.... he's actually handsome. Oh I'll die of heart attack."Amanda smiled reminding that moment...

"Yeah he is handsome indeed. But couldn't you see he was laughing and talking with that lady yesterday. I heard she's his wife."the 2nd Consort said making a mysterious face.

"Hah...a Prince has so many woman...but I'll make him forget every bitch with my beauty."Amanda laughed loudly.

Everyone entered the Hall. Evelina, Andreas and Federico sat beside Jordan as it's their duty to always accompany the Prince.

The Emperor entered the hall with the two Empress , Regent and Ministers. The ist Empress has been invited for a short period to attend this holy ceremony.

Everyone bowed to them.The ceremony started soon. the Emperor put a crown on the Prince head.Then he handed him over with the seal. Prince Jordan gave a speech and takes his vows. He also got the traditional sword...

Then everyone enjoyed the ceremony. They drank , ate and watched dancing and singing.

Evelina , Andreas and Federico seated with Prince Jordan on separate lunch table.

The 4 main consorts left their table and came towards Prince's table to greet him.

"Congratulations, my Prince."all the Consorts greeted Jordan.

Jordan look at Evelina.

"Meet with your Consorts. This is the ist Consort and 2nd and 3rd and this is the 4th one. And there others are your concubines. You'll get a chance to meet them all individually....."Evelina said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you all. Please enjoy the ceremony."Jordan greet them back with a polite manner.

They smiled and went back to their table.

"Why this lady sitting with our Prince....this is too much."Amanda got furious.

"Clam down. We're new here... don't behave unrighteous."2nd consort said.

"The Prince looked at me...oh I'll faint out now..." One of them said with extra drama.

They all seated on the couch and try to watch the Prince from the distance.

"Hay....why didn't they declared you as the Crown Princess?"Prince Jordan asked Evelina.

"Because I said them so.... declaration of this rank will be held after some weeks."Evelina answered.

"Why."Jordan asked again.

Evelina was about to tell the truth but Andreas stopped her.

"Actually my Prince there's still some paperwork to do."Andreas said.

The ceremony finished without any obstacle . It's almost e afternoon.Evelina is waiting for the Empress in her pavilion.

She's so happy today. Today is her double celebration....she succeeded in making Jordan , THE CROWN PRINCE... And now she can return back to the ocean where Samuel is waiting for her. It's hard to stay in this dry land...the oceanic environment is calling her fascinatingly. Now finally she can make a family with Samuel. How long she waited..... it's been a high time she didn't see his face. Her soul is burning as the fire and drying out as the desert....

.

The Empress entered in her chember.

"Your highness"Evelina showed respect to her.

"What happen dear..... you're at this time." The Empress said while sitting.

"My Empress... I'm done with my work. What you've told me to do, I've completed everything."

"Yeah ... I'm satisfied with you. But I didn't expect you to complete everything so soon..."Empress smiled.

"Then it's time for my leave. Please give me permission to return back to my previous life."Evelina arged.

"My child....why don't you stay here as the Crown Princess. My son seems to adore you a lot."the Empress asked.

"You know I've someone else in my heart. So I can't....."Evelina refused.

"But ... It's too early.... Besides don't you know royal marriage can't be broken."Empress turned a cold face.

"What!!"

"Yes my dear.... there's no rules of breaking any royal marriage."

"You haven't told me anything about this before." Evelina shocked.

"You better be stay here."Empress rubbed evelina's head.

"But you promised me...."Evelina looked at the empress.

"Yes I did....and I'll help you of course."Empress said.

"Then please help me."Evelina trying to hold her tears.

"I'll help you but you have one last thing to do."empress smiled.

"Tell me what else I've to do.... I'll do anything ."Evelina stood up.

"Well as I've said it too early for your leaving the Palace. Jordan isn't mentally prepare to segregate from you. He won't accept your leaving.... Besides I need a grandson now. I mean a heir for our kingdom. You know a child can make my son an ideal future Emperor. But after your departure, he'll become stubborn and won't pay any heed to my words"the Empress stated calmly.

Evelina got filled with fury after hearing this. She can't believe her ears. This woman is too much clever than her.

"So,You want me to sleep with your son."Evelina asked with anger.

"Well....I don't care if Jordan have a child with you or any other woman. I just want a heir for this Empire."the Empress said.

"You're saying it on purpose...You know Jordan won't accept other woman but only me ..."Evelina shouted.

"But he always listen to you.... Convince him to accept others... or else..."the Empress said.

"Or else !! What?"

"You know what I mean."Empress gave a sly smile.

Evelina left the chamber without saying anything.

_______________________________________

Everything has messed up.

Evelina sitting on the garden. She's crying. She doesn't cry easily. But today she's missing Samuel. Seems like this waiting has linked with eternity...

She thought her waiting finally ended. But now she got trapped into another problem...

What if she never get a chance to live with Samuel...This fear made her shobbed more . Her heart is paining terribly. She can't keep patience anymore. Everything has a limit.

She felt like her eyes will go blind if she doesn't get the chance to see Samuel's face now...

This waiting seems like infinite.

Some consorts entered the garden and saw her crying sitting on a corner..They couldn't gather the courage to walk on that area. So they keep peeping maintaining a distance and gossiping among them.

"You're here. I've searched you the whole Palace"prince Jordan entered the garden breathing fast.

Evelina look up .

"You're crying....tell me who the hell on earth bullied you. I'll kill them."Jordan shouted.

He became restless after seeing her tears. He really can't bear it.

Evelina stood up and said nothing.

After a while Evelina being close to Jordan and said,

"Can you took me to the chembar. I'm so tired. I want to take some rest."

Jordan swipe her tears.

"Okay let's go."Jordan lifted her on his arm and carry her towards the Manor.

This is the first time Jordan has carried her . Jordan felt so delighted. Evelina leaned her head on Jordan's chest. She can hear his fast heartbeats even within the background noises. But she ignored it..... she's feeling so frustrated today. All her strength vanished away with her hope...

Jordan left the garden and walked away through the lake. He kept thinking about what might be the reason that made Evelina upset. But he couldn't assume anything in his mind.

All the consorts got shocked seeing them so clingy with each other like this. They felt a little bit of jealousy but didn't show it directly...and kept roaming there with excessive gossips.
