CHAPTER 12

 While queen lisha was worried, busy pastering around her chambers. That's when Jes entered with a small tray in her hands. It was some juice in a glass cup. She kindly walked in and kept it on the table. As she took the cup and gave to the queen.

"Sab kuchh theek hai meree mahila (is everything ok my lady)?" She asked, adjusting the tray on the table.

As queen lisha responded, "kuchh bhee theek nahin hai Jes (nothing is okay Jes). Princess Nar will be here shortly and pial has not returned up till now. I am really worried. I don't like anything idle to happen".

"I am not sure what will happen your highness. Main tumhen shubhakaamanaen deta hoon. mujhe vaapas aane do (I wish you good luck. Let me get back). There are some activities l need to carry out".

"Haan, aap ja sakate hain (yes you may go)" said the queen and Jes left.

A few minutes later,

Queen lisha kindly lay down her head in the chair as she was reading some notes in a paper.

"Shubh sandhya maan (good evening mother)!".

She heard prince pial's voice as she kindly raise her head, felt sad. And she looked away from him. Prince pial quickly walked and knelt down in her front, seek for her blessings.

"Bhagavaan aapaka bhala kare (God bless you)!" Sounded queen lisha still in worried mood.

"Forgive me mother. I went to a village. It's an urgent matter that I couldn't return early. And on my way, l saw this and I couldn't leave it without picking some for you" and he brought out some beautiful golden necklaces and bracelets from his bag. And he gave it to her.

Queen lisha kept the papers aside and collect it. And she clearly looked at it in a few seconds before she gracefully looked at him. "God bless you my son. And thank you for the gift" she said, still looking at the shingles of the golds that's decorated around the necklace. 

"It's not just from me. Lihan also participate" sounded prince pial again.

And queen lisha embraced him happily.

A short while, queen lisha released from the hug. She pleasantly held his shoulders with her hands and raised him up. "Come on, sit down next to me" she sounded. And prince pial walked and sat down in the chair that's next to her, facing her.

"Tell me mother, what's about the celebrations I have seen people carrying out? Is there a seminar or anything?" Asked prince pial, looking at queen lisha.

And queen lisha smiled before she answered his questions, "princess Nar of Wyoming send a message while you're out. We're expecting her arrival soon".

Prince pial smiled. "Now I understand why my mother became so worried for my return late" he sounded.

"You are forgiven then. Now go and get ready before the guests arrived" insist queen lisha.

"Beshak maan (of course mother)" answered prince pial. He stood and touched her feet again. Then he added, "I will be back in less than ten minutes mother".

"God bless you my son" she sounded as she placed her hand on his head.

Then he swiftly stood and left to his chambers.

A few seconds after he left, the servants, prem and riyan arrived to the queen. They both took a bow to queen lisha before prem started, "your highness, everything is ready. The cultural dancers are also here".

Queen lisha smiled delightfully and responded, "I am happy to here that. That's ... Really a wonderful preparations Mr. Prem. But let me make one thing clear, everything should be perform in best module. We don't accept illegal dressings. Do not forget our firm and policies. And the princess is also royal. If our kingdom fail to fulfill the rightful turn, then that will be a great humiliation to us and our kingdom. Are the house decorators also ready?"

"They have done their work earlier your highness" answered prem respectively.

"And what about guests, have you attend to them?"

"They are really pleased. And they are quite fine and busy waiting for the princess's arrival", answered riyan in respectful.

"Then I think that's all we need to focus on. We should wait for her arrival now" as she looked through the window at the brightness of the sun_ it's nearly sunset. And she added, "if the reports are quite clear, we'll be expecting her arrival within 10-15 minutes. You may go ahead. And make sure the horses are ready also".

And both the servants bow again and left.

 While prince pial was getting ready in his best suits. It's a white gown with diamonds stones. After he put on the blue-colored turban, he applied with some perfumes. Then he took his sword and adjust it in its scabbard made with pure gold and put it on his waist. And he continue to adjust his dressing while looking at himself in the mirror. An imaginary sensed frisk his eyes as he saw Ixan's bright face, looking at him in the mirror. Prince pial smiled and utter, "what has gone into me now? Come on prince pial, keep steady". And in a blink of an eye he didn't see anything again. He looked behind and see nothing as he laughed.

At that instance, he heard a knocking on the door.

'Knock! Knock'.

"Come in" sounded prince pial.

As prince Yoon entered.

Prince pial smiled and went to him delightfully. As he embraced him.

"How are you little bro?" Asked prince Yoon in concerned as he tightly hold him in embrace.

"I am good brother. And what about you?" Asked prince pial again.

And Yoon answered, "fine brother". Then they released from the hug before he added, "where have you been brother? I wish you have seen how mother became so worried for your return".

"Don't worry, I have already talked to her. And there's no problem. I got no time to return as early as possible. And I know you should have suffer for the Queen's questions about me, sorry for the trouble I have caused to you".

And prince pial slightly beats his shoulder and uttered, "it's forgotten. Come and have a sit with me. I need to have a discussion with you". He moved and sat.

And prince pial sat with him.

"I wish everything is fine brother?" Asked Yoon.

"Brother, there's something very important which only I and Lihan knew. It's not something bad but I was scared of mother's emotions, perhaps she will not be happy" said prince pial, feeling a little stress.

And prince Yoon uttered, "tell me" as he was still looking at him.

While prince pial was thinking of whether to tell or not.
