HELLO! LONG TIME. I AM SORY FOR THE SILENCE. THE DAYS HAVE BEEN HECTIC. SO, THE EPISODE IS FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EPISODE. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING.

QUOLA KINGDOM

“Is it just me or is Birian being suddenly overly concerned?” the prince asked

“I think so too” Chief Jalami replied “I do not know if that is a good thing or not”

“Well,” the prince said “I appreciate his concerns, but he went too far”

“You are right, my prince” 

There was silence for some time.

The prince grunted and stood.

“Their request is ridiculous” he said, pacing with his head bent down.

“I agree, my prince” Chief Jalami said “we cannot give it to them, and they know it too”

The prince raised his head

“They asked because that is not what they truly want” Chief Jalami continued “they know we will not oblige them and go for the other option”

“They want war” the prince said with a low voice.

“Yes they do”

“And we will give it to them” the prince sat in his place.

Chief Jalami stood and bent his head.

“Command me, my prince”

 

“Good morning, my lord” Mati greeted, bowing his head.

“Good morning” Ahleera answered, Baku taking the saddle of his horse from him.

Marita put her ears to the door and quickly sat on the mat once she heard Ahleera’s voice.

“Why is he here alone?” she thought in her mind as she quickly took her paper and ink and started to write.

The door suddenly opened and her eyes went towards the door with a scared look on her face.

Ahleera entered and looked at her for a second too long. Marita cleared her throat.

“Good morning” she said.

“I’m surprised you are afraid just because I barged in” Ahleera said and moved towards a seat.

Marita pursed her lips and stretched her hands to carry the bottle of ink.

“He wants me to talk” she said in her mind.

He walked towards her and suddenly snatched the paper from her

. The bottle of oil poured over her in the process and she panicked.

“The ink” she said, devastated “it’s all gone”

“I see you’ve been doing a good job at writing” Ahleera said, raising the paper.

“He wants a reaction” she said in her mind.

She moved on the mat towards the wall and rested on it.

“You’re no longer writing your letter?” Ahleera asked, his back to her.

“Huh?” she looked at him “which letter?”

Ahleera sat beside her, but a few metres away from her.

“You want me to believe that this is all you’ve been writing?” Ahleera asked, holding out the paper to her “don’t you have to give report to the person that sent you?” he signaled to a corner of the room where she put sheets of blank paper.

“You’re close” Marita said in her mind.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, but…”

“But…” Ahleera interrupted

Marita stood and went to the corner and brought out some used sheets of paper. She gave them to him and sat back down.

“That is all I have written” she said “I intentionally kept them to show the prince whenever he comes. And by the way, where is he?”

Ahleera was about to talk when they both heard the familiar voice of the prince.

“Good timing” Marita said in her mind.

***
“Bring that one” Paulita pointed.
A maid holding up five beads quickly dropped four and brought the desired one.

She cautiously wears it on Paulita and moved to face Paulita.

“You look ravishing, my princess” the maid said.

“Yes, I do” Paulita said, taking a look at herself.

She is dressed to the nines, her attire speaking volumes of royalty.

She waved her hand to the maid and the maid hurriedly left her room while another entered.

“My princess, your…” she was interrupted when Paulita faced her.

“Yes…” Paulita said “you were saying something”

“Yeahh… I said…” the maid stuttered, staring at her.

“What is it?” Paulita asked, a worried look on her face 

“I don’t look good, do I?” she asked “I knew it. When that maid was running around doing… Sidris!” she shouted

“No no, my princess” the maid said, moving to stop Paulita from going out.

“The otherwise is the case” the maid said “you glowed so much when I came in that I totally lost my voice and forgot what I heard to say”

Paulita calmed down, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

“Awnnn Nina” she hugged the maid “I missed you so much”

“Me too” the maid replied.

“I knew I would have less trouble since all these days if you were around”

“I am here now” Nina replied.

“Do you think I look set?” Paulita asked, turning around.

“More than set” Nina replied and pulled Paulita out of the room.
