Chapter Twelve

*ULKA KINGDOM *

"Don't tell me you have no news for me as you flung the door to my throne room confidently ."

"My king ,we can't find Queen Myel nor her maidens anywhere .

We have searched the whole kingdom through to its outskirts ,yet we didn't find her .

My King ,we will keep searching for her until we find her .

No matter the cave she 's hiding inside ,we will find her as well as Joshua and Samuel who had elopped with her. "

"Paul ...! "

"My King ...! "

"Bring me back Myel and as for the guards who helped her out ,ha ! ,they have no idea what's coming their way .

Nobody dares to mislead me so throw yourself along with your men into the forest and neighbouring kingdoms and villages and look for her .

She can't go far within seven days because Myel is weak .

I made her weak and even though I underestimated her intelligence ,it turns out she was more intelligent than I thought .

However,she can't go far so go and look for her .

If you don't find her ,then don't come back here."

Alright my King ...I will take my leave now .

"One more thing ,warn all the villagers that it's death to harbour a culprit ...."

Alright my King ...my men and I shall take our leave now .

"Myel ...Myel ...Myel ,I must admit that you are far clever than I thought .

I gave you a chance to have freedom and you tricked me in the highest range to escape .

I couldn't realize it earlier but now ,I understand how cunning you are .

Myel ,you can't go away from me ,because even if you disappear from the surface of the earth ,I will open the earth and locate you .

You will pay dearly for your betrayal Myel ,you will surely pay ,King Adams thought and squeezed his wine glass and out of anger ; it landed on the floor into pieces ."

.... MUGAL KINGDOM ....

*KING DUXAN ADDRESSES HIS PEOPLE*

"You all know the Crowned Prince ,Queen Alexa ,Queen Romina ,Queen Krystal and Queen Marga have all been able to elope from the kingdom .

Up till now ,I"m still trying to figure out how they escaped but then ,I won't let this go .

For that reason ,I have decided to throw an open challenge among my sons and the one who fulfills the task ahead will be crowned the new prince .

Henceforth ,I declare Prince Wales a culprit of the Mugal Law .He's no longer the Crowned Prince of this kingdom .

Queen Krystal ,Alexa ,Romina and Marga have lost their titles as Queen and as my wives .

Anyone who tries to cross their limits by harbouring them into their houses will publicly be burnt if caught .

No one should help culprits of the Mugal Law because if you are caught ,your punishment will be greater than that of theirs .

Now ,for my elderly sons who are worthy of succeeding me ,I want you to assemble your army and find the culprits and bring them to me .

Prince Ahan ,Prince Essien and Prince Roman ,I hope you stay loyal as you have always been .

Whichever prince wins this challenge by bringing to me the culprits shall be my heir to the throne .

*After King Duxan's address ,the prince's assembled their men and set off for the forest to look for them ...*

"I don't care about where you are but then ,Krystal , you shall surely return ....King Duxan thought ."

..... OUTSKIRTS OF MUGAL KINGDOM .....

*Few months later ...*

"Come on Myel ,fight to the core .You don't rest when your enemy is still alive ,Krystal says to her sister and still held her sword at her neck ."

Argh ! ,Krystal screams as Myel rolls over her.

When my enemy is still alive ,I fight to the core and I fight till I kill my enemy ,Myel says and holds her sword at her sister's neck .

"Krystal looks at her sister with a broad smile across her face .

You have become better than I am in sword fighting sissy ,I'm proud of you .Together ,we will destroy our enemy and own our destiny ."

Krys ...oh sorry ,I guess he is the only one who has the right to call you that ,huh ?

Myel said sarcastically ...

"Hey Myel ,I will strain you today ..."

They ran around the garden like kids and when they got tired ,they rested near the stream .

It was amazing that they had created a home of their own in an isolated palace underground the cave .

This way ,no one could trace them .

"I'm happy Krystal ,that you have gotten a man who loves you so much .

Wales loves you so much and I only pray that he keeps you happy or else ,I will kill him if he doesn't make you happy ."

" Myel....! Wales loves me and trust me ,he will never hurt me ,Krystal assured ."

You are very lucky to have a mother-in-law and now you even have a beautiful niece .

A niece who has chubby cheeks and sweet smiles ,Myel said ."

Awww ,that girl is so sweet but the saddest thing was how Alexa had to lose her life after giving birth to her .However ,we will take care of the little baby and love her as she should be loved ,right Myel ?

Krystal asked wiping away her tears and Myel nodded in tears too .

No one thought that Alexa would lose her life after giving birth to her daughter .

A lot had pushed her to lose her life ; like brother 's death in the war waged by Kalinga against Swaji and this war was led by Princess Theodora .

It was obvious ,he made Prince Juan his target to get his vengeance on Krystal .

King Duxan had told her about the relationship between Wales and Krystal .

This had really pushed her wrath and she took it out on Swaji Kingdom .

Alexa couldn't take the pain of losing her love so out of pain ,she gave birth to her daughter prematurely .

Right after which she passed away .

"Don't let this go ,punish our enemies and take care of our baby ,this was Alexa"s last words to Myel and Krystal as they laid by her side ."
