CHAPTER 25

"What do you think of?" Asked princess Nar as she was still looking at him.

And prince pial looked up. Seeing both their eyes on him makes him ask, "and why this kind of look?"

"Why shouldn't we? It's been ten minutes now" answered Ixan.

And prince pial continue, "okay, okay, talk kindly. You will make me lose the points".

And princess Nar changed her face before she sounds, "obviously I am sorry to say great prince pial of Keswick kingdom but, there's nothing in here" as she pointed at forehead.

"You're joking princess" said prince pial, trying to figure out something.

 While in the kingdom of keswick, Drisat was in her room. As she was doing nothing but roaming around. That's when she heard a knock on the door and she went to open it. As she opened the door, she saw lihan by the door.

Lihan smiled and continue, "May I have a little discussion with you please".

Drisat answered in quick response, "yah sure Sir. I just arrived here by the queen's order. She asked me to go and rest but I couldn't rest either. I am really worried. And I pray wherever princess and her people are, they'll be fine".

"That's what brought me here Drisat. I need you to tell me something please" said lihan.

"Yes my Lord?"

"I just feel to follow the prince".

Drisat felt anxious and responds, "why Sir? Please stay. You're our leader, if you leave us then ... we are dead".

"Do not worry. I tell you this because you're the only one I trust you will never tell the queen about it".

"But you're putting your life at risk" then she kept silence for a few minutes, thinking. Then she uttered again, "I am coming with you".

"What? You can't Drisat".

"What's the use of us staying here if everyone is leading his way" said Drisat, looking tensed.

And lihan sounds, "okay, I changed my mind. It's better I stay with everyone here. I am sorry for making it hard".

"It's okay sir. I will go take a look at the queen".

"Alright, I should also leave to my castle", responded lihan.

And Drisat answered with smiled on her face, "yes sir".

And lihan left. As she also went to the chair and took her veil. Then she wrapped it around her shoulders before she went out.

 "Samar! Haven't I warned you not to get involve in any trouble? Now you wanted to cause damn for us all" sounded Swed in harsh voice as he went to a man, standing in his front and knock his head. "What are you doing silly? You are not supposed to face the princes. They both know you. As a loyal servant you are, you're supposed to think before you do anything". Then he released him.

And with Samar respond, quavering with his head down, "it's my mistake but in one way or another, they have began to suspect us".

"Why can't they? You made yourself fool to them. Do not forget that we're still in our condition as the servants of keswick kingdom. And do you know?" As he walked by the door, in pang.

That's when Drisat came to passed-by. She was carrying a pebble water as she walked carefully. Swed's words called her mind. As she ought to ignore, but hearing a name of prince pial and queen lisha made her retrovert. And she kindly sneaked behind the door, hearing them out.

"My brother's dream will never fulfill until I see the day I break down this kingdom. How the queen destroy my brother's life and put him in jail for over twenty years, I will make sure that I make them suffer at the range of the time he has suffered. I will make sure I changed everything. These war is just the beginning. I will make them believe that the men I built were koplan people while we'll continue to slaughter their people down".

Drisat silently closed her mouth with surprise after she heard Swed. And she whispered in her heart, "so this is a plan! No wonder, my lady has suspect these people at the first place". And she continues to hear their discussions.

Samar grinned before he utter, "I will try my best. I will never fail you at this time".

"And where's that crazy lady? I hope she's performing her duties as I ordered her to do?" Swed asked his men again.

"Which lady is he referring to?" Whispered Drisat and she silently looked around as she didn't see anyone. Then she sneaked away.

The other man amongst Swed's men utter, "yes sir".

"No mistakes again. I pay you much so I need the work to be done successfully. And if not ..." Warned Swed repeatedly.

"Sir" they both answered before they left the room.

And Swed laughed. "Queen lisha, you and your children will die in my hands". And he continue to laugh.

 It's nearly sunset. Drisat was in lot of stressed as she was cooking the meal. Without noticed, the food starts boiling. And luckily that's when her friend, Riya arrived at the moment.

"What? Drisat, the food is boiling" shouted Riya.

That's when Drisat returned from the deep thought. And she quickly switched off the cooker gas. "Ooh no, what have I done? I spoiled everything" she sounded in tense.

As Riya entered before she spoke, "what's happening Drisat? Are you alright?". She tried to sensed her body temperature.

And Drisat utter, "yah ... I am fine Riya. I am just worried about ... Something".

"I know, it's the princess right? From all of us, you're the one more close to the princess. You should miss her. What are you cooking? Let me help you" and she went and washes her hands under the tap water.

And Drisat cleaned up her face. Then she continues, "Any news pertaining these people? I wonder how my lady should sleep outside at night. It's terrible".

"I am in that notion also. And I have heard something that the condition is so worse. No entrance or exiting. We should thank God prince pial has followed their trials. And I pray they were together as we spoke".

"I pray so" answered Drisat before she saw what Riya was cutting. "Hey careful, we're not supposed to cook that. The queen didn't like it in the food".

And without notion, Riya sounded, "but we do. I will eat them if they don't".

"You!" Sounded Drisat as she kindly kicked her.

And they both laughed before Drisat utter, "go on them. Let me take the plates to the queen now. I also need to serve sir lihan".

"Good job, let's go", said Riya as she continues her work.

While Drisat went and took the tray that's contained with different kinds of food. Then she walked out. 

Riya was still looking at her as she walked, making sure she went out safe. Then she concentrate on her work. "I pray to you God, save us all with everyone that's inside and outside here. God, do not allow the unmerciful people win over us" and she said the prayers before she continue working.

 Drisat has reached the queen's palace. And she found queen Lisha busy thinking. "My lady" she sounded kindly.

The moment queen Lisha returned from her deep thought and answered, "well done Drisat, thank you. Please keep it here. I don't even think I will eat enough today".

"Please have patience my lady. Everything is going to get in control" said Drisat as she kindly moved and kept down the tray on the table. Thereby, she prepared for the queen with her best dishes.

And queen Lisha washes her hands, trying to eat as she saw Drisat stilltanding in front of her like she wants to say something. And she asked, "what's it Drisat? Do you want to tell me something?"

And Drisat answered, "yes your highness. I would like to tell you something pertaining those people we believed as koplan people".

Queen Lisha looked up at her and stops eating, trying to hear from her. "Yes. Tell me Drisat".

As Drisat was willing to speak.
