CHAPTER 15

Prince pial was thinking of what to say, they heard a voice instantly and they both turned. 

"Ooh! Great Lady. You're highly welcome" sounded Lihan.

And princess Nar walked to them generously with pleasant smile on her face. She was with her maid, Drisat. "Thank you sir Lihan" she uttered and then looked at prince pial. 

Prince pial smiled before he stood up. "Please come in princess" he uttered, showing her a place to sit.

"Thank you prince" she uttered again as she move and sat down in the chair. Whilst Drisat stood behind her.

Both prince Pial and Lihan also went back and sit down. And they continue to discuss.

"I have summoned a call from both you and the queen so l wanted to know whose call is more important to answer" sounded princess Nar.

"Forgive me princess. I just thought I'd let you know about something. It's urgent" said prince pial.

"Yes. Go on" she uttered.

While prince pial was thinking of what to say.

"Are you alright my Lord?" Asked princess Nar in concerned.

And prince pial responded, "sure princess. I am just ...".

"A secret is a hard thing my Lord. I will not feel bad if you're not ready to tell me. So, I think our important discussion will hold until next time?" Asked princess Nar.

And Lihan utter, "to be sincere my lady, our prince is a hard holder of a secret. You can remove the snake's tail but you will never remove its venom".

"I know him sir Lihan. Since we were children he never seized a chance. He has inherited much from his parents, that's why Keswick has never fallen and never will it be with you as the prince" said princess Nar. And they both laughed.

"You have never changed princess Nar. Yesterday I couldn't have time to ask you about home. How's your family and everyone in Wyoming? Forgive me, i couldn't have time for visit" said prince pial.

"I have lots of complaints for you prince pial. But I will not doubt you because of the instance incident that happened yesterday. I was little shocked".

"Not even fully shocked my lady" asked Lihan.

And princess Nar continue, "though I was not fully aware of it".

"You mean the queen has never told you about the alliance?" Asked prince pial, looking at her.

"The only thing she told my aunt was that she wants me to pay a visit to keswick. And for you that you need to know me better. I thought it was your plan but until I realized that you have no idea about it".

Prince pial looked at Lihan again. "Then is this a trick or what? I don't understand Lihan" he sounded in confusion and continue, "I hope you don't feel offended princess Nar if I say ..." 

"You are not ready or you are in love with someone else. Why will I feel bad? If you're not ready so am I. I just believe in sacrificing our happiness for our people since we're not the only one. There are people that are supporting us and we're ruling now. It's different from the time when we were young" sounded princess Nar.

"Aah! Well ..." Started prince pial.

At that instance, a maid came with a flask of tea. She bowed to them in respect before she kept the tray on the table. And she turned to go.

As princess Nar called her, "has the queen finish eating her breakfast?"

"She is about to. When she discovered that you're both here discussion she asked me to bring tea for you. So there's no need for having tea with her" sounded the maid.

"Okay, you may go" ordered princess Nar.

And the maid left.

Then princess Nar turned to prince pial and asked, "have you feel what I just felt now?"

Prince pial looked at her and laughed. "I feel so happy" he answered.

"Hmm! That's good. Now where were we? Let me turn to you sir Lihan. Do you have an equipped training? As in soldier or marvel?"

"You can count on me from my brother's opinion. I am a strong man that you ever expect".

And princess Nar laughed. "Sure I can see that. Sorry please, I know you're serious sir Lihan. But you're so funny sometimes. Since I came here I noticed you are a chatterer. Prince pial is more serious than you are", she sounded.

"That's so rude. Is everyone thinking of me like that. I am really not happy to hear that", uttered Lihan as he frowned his face.

And both prince pial and princess Nar laughed. And princess Nar continue, "I really enjoy this time with you guys but forgive me, i should go have another funny chats with uncle Samar. I leave you in peace".

"We have a good time with you princess Nar. Wish for your visit next time" answered prince pial.

And Lihan added, "also I should say have a nice day my lady".

Princess Nar stood and left with Drisat.

A moment later, Lihan looked at prince pial before he utter, "not bad. She's a good person".

"I know I don't have problem with princess Nar. But for now I have an issue to solve".

"Of how to deal with?" Asked Lihan.

And prince pial answered in apprehensive, "your sister-in-law".

"Ooh! My soul" sounded Lihan. Then he added, "but don't worry. This'll not be a problem. As princess Nar is a kind and generous woman, Ixan is also one of the good women. She will feel jealous and at a time rest her soul".

"I hope so Lihan. It's a big mistake. I never know about this and I never tell her".

"Calm yourself prince. That's the only way" sounded Lihan again.

Thereby, they both kept silence and thinking of how to resolve the issue.

 While Ixan was adjusting the ribbon of her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Then she opened the drawer, trying to keep the comb inside. As she instantly heard Fanat's voice.

And she stood quickly. "What is it Fanat? You scared the life out of me. Why is it that you're always in rush?" Asked Ixan.

"That's because it's just me bad news frisks. Do you know something? Princess Nar of Wyoming has arrived to keswick" sounded Fanat.

"Princess Nar? I never heard about her. How did you know her?" Asked Ixan while looking at Fanat in tense.

And Fanat answered, "it's not her I know. It's her fiancee".

"Fanat please, stop telling me about the kingdom family issues. What concerns me about the princess and so her fiancee?"

"It's absolutely necessary you know Ixan. That's because the fiancee is no one but YOUR PRINCE!".

Ixan looked at her and strangely sounded, "are you telling me this Fanat. I don't like jokes please".

"I never joke to you like this Fanat. And don't take me wrong. I am not a bond broker. I just thought it's good you know. I know the prince really cares for you but what will happen if the queen overpowered him. You see, if that happens then you will be thrown away from his life for good. And the important thing is for his health. The prince can be hurt for separating you from him. And that's the problem".

And Ixan fell in the chair, feeling a hard pain in her heart. "PRINCE PIAL!" She sounded in stressed.
