Dilemmas
King Light Cullen of Mystical Land was getting old and sick. The Queen, Rose was getting worried about her husband’s poor health. The King and Queen had two fairy daughters named Silver mist (the elder one) and Star dust (the younger one).
The whole family had special powers, which they could use only for good purposes. Silver mist was a sensible young girl who was also worried because of her father’s falling health.
One evening when the Queen had put the two young girls to bed which was actually an enormous dowry flower petal, she went to have a detailed conversation with the King to acknowledge what was wrong.
“what is wrong dear...? you don’t look so well these a days.. what is bothering you?” she asked sitting beside him on the tree of enchantment.
" it’s a knight of the humans...” her said in a low voice.
" what..?” she asked in a shock. “how did he find us?”
" His king had sent him to some sort of mission. He fell down the cliff and somehow entered our land. For thousands of years i have protected all of us, from these poisonous humans. They would use our powers for wrong purposes and that’s exactly what happened.... Our knights bought him to me.. I threatened him not to tell anyother being about this place or else i will burn him alive.. but somehow he knew that we are forbidden to use our powers for deadly reasons. I was astonished at this. When i asked him how did he know this he started laughing. He fearlessly came towards me. He asked me to gift him with powers so he can rule the human kingdom. I knew he also had intentions to invade in our world.. i denied to his request and threw him out of the kingdom.. i am sure he’s upto no good and somehow he will get the throne and come to ruin our land..” Light explained.
" Don’t worry Light... if our kingdom is meant to live more it will... if it’s not then.. no power on earth could stop it from scattering into pieces...” Rose said with a sweet sensation in her voice. She somehow ended all the stress in Light’s heart.
The knight whom Light had met, was planning to take over the throne with hectic efforts. His lust for power was never ending, therefore Stanley decided to poison the king of humans, King Edward. Stanley knew he was the most trusted knight of King Edward, therefore even if he poisoned him, the king and his daughter would never suspect him for it.
Therefore he planned to kill the already sick king, then he will somehow get an agreement signed by the king that would say that the throne and his daughter belongs to Stanley now.
One night when there was deep silence in the palace, Princess Emily heard screams from her father’s room. She ran towards his room and opened the greatly carved wooden door and rushed into his room.
" oh my lord! father! are you okay?” Emily said.
" i was feeling dizzy and maybe i might have screamed during that.” the king explained.
Stanley was hearing the whole conversation. He was now sure that the poison he was giving to the king was working and that he was slowly dying.
" i am calling the doctors... they have to check you.. and you must lay down father do not get up until necessary, or don’t get up at all we have so many people to work for you... just ring the bell...its right there beside your bed..” Emily said as she took her father’s arm and put her to bed.
Afterwards Emily went out of her father’s room. Stanley followed her until she went inside her room. Stanley knocked her door and asked for the permission to come in.
" what is it Stanley..?” she asked.
Stanley was standing in front of her, eyes on his feet, arms at his back.
“pardon me princess Emily... but can i have a second to say something...?” he asked.
" yeah go on...” Emily said.
" forgive me for this but... you look absolutely stunning today... and... every single day i spent in this palace...” Stanley said trying to make her fall for him.
" thank you Stanley.. but i would really appreciate it if you would keep such childish compliments to yourself.. you may leave now..” she said.
Stanley didn’t look up and walked out of her room.
Since that day Emily started receiving secret love letters, everyday she would find one on her bed with a rose.
She finally fell for Stanley, innocent Emily didn’t know Stanley was using her in order to take over the kingdom.
Soon the day arrived, for which Stanley had been waiting for.
He was standing beside the King’s bed and saw him coughing, he knew that the king was dying, he took advantage of this moment and placed a paper and a pen in front of him.
" King, princess Emily wanted you to sign this” he said and this was true Emily really had agreed to this.
The king was not in a position of reading the agreement and so he signed it, without reading it also because he blindly trusted Stanley.
After the work was done, Stanley left the room ignoring the fact that the king was dying. The king reached out to ring the bell but his time was over... and so died in his bed, coughing, reaching out for help....
