The Lake

The prince came to her side and held her tightly to himself "even when I'm expected to hate you after finding out all these, I still can't do that. You've become a part of me that I never want to let go of". The prince said tugging her hair behind her ears. "Then don't, I would rather die with you than live without you" the Jewel said looking up at him. "same here. Right now both our kingdoms are at stake, we have only two options left and you and I both know it" the prince said and exhaled "as I said, I would rather die with you than live without you. Can you tell me why you looked so scared when I called your name? The Jewel asked "I hate to admit that I can't get rid of the man who once rid me of my happiness, he was this same man called the king who thinks he's my father" The prince said.

Flashback

"Hey Amor, you forgot to give mummy a hug right" a young beautiful woman looking so elegant said pouting at her little son who stuck out his tongue before moving towards her. "Hmmm mummy should get me a candy first" the young boy who was obviously the prince said to his mom the queen. She brought out two candies and gave to her son. "Can I get it now" she said and he rushed then hugged her tightly "I love you mum" he said. "I love you Soo much my Amor" the queen said and carried him up then met the king looking at them "Durga we should talk, I have to tell you something. Meet me in the chamber" the king said and left "Amor, I'll be in the chamber with your father okay, be a good boy" the queen said and placed him down before giving him a pack on the forehead.

Kings chamber

"Durga, you knew all along the consequences of our action but you allowed us have our first seed? The king asked with a raised brow. "no your highness I also found out recently that our son would be the most powerful if we're together " the queen said "we should get rid of him" the king said. "we can't, lets sacrifice ourselves for our son's happiness. Remember he is our only son". The queen said. "I can't do that, never, a son who would be more powerful than his own father, no way" the king said and brought out a sharp poisoned dagger. All these while, the prince who had been by the door came in upon seeing the dagger but it was too late "I am sorry Durga" the king said and stabbed her with the dagger twice on her heart "noooooooo mom"
