Chapter 30: Blue royals

Once upon a time, there was a queen with 6 princes and princesses. Eldest was a daughter with beauty and elegance of fashion and style, second was a prince with royalties and virtues for leading the governance of their lands, third was a prince of poverty and ruler of their fate and development, fourth was a prince of education, art and cultural equality, fifth was a princess of overseas transactions and sixth was a prince of sovereignty of their land and protecting them with trained soldiers. Every single one of them was born with brilliant mind and earned their ability to serve their positions that their parents gave them. None of them were incapable of being the person they needed to be except the fourth prince who was proved to be the most clumsy of them all. He had no such interests in their royalties nor any interest on anything particular but only spent his whole time on his singing and writing. He had his own academy to promote all the cultural activities of his land, encourage new writers to write whatever their heart desires and playing stage playwright by singing their stories. He was so good at it that he could make anyone interested in his this luxurious life. His other siblings were not enough appreciated about his work, they thought it was a time wasting place to invest any money to serve. But only because of his unbounded enthusiasm about his creativity made his mother happy to allow him to perform his work even in overseas. Their kingdom was filled with kindness and affection towards their future generations. Everyone was happy with their princes and princesses. When everyone of them enjoying their settled lives then an oversea stage performer came to our fourth whimsical prince, to learn about art of singing the playwright. They were a small group of three people, one of them was a simple cute girl with long shiny hair, that where carefully dressed out with colourful ribbons. That prince never saw anyone to braided their hair with that many coloured ribbons, it attracted him greatly, the simplicity of her nature where no sign of greed, only pure love to learn from him, made him happy. Nothing in her life was colourful as her hair ribbons. He was starting to spend every single day with her to taught everything he ever learned then one beautiful winter morning, she and her group got invitation from another kingdom to entertain them. After that she never came, the fourth prince got frustrated over his lose of his first love, then after a year of two, he saw her colourful ribbon in his backyard garden of his castle. It was a stormy night, heavy rainfall made the life miserable that season, then he saw from his royal garden's front yard there was something shining throughout from his newly arranged flower beds and it was colourful enough that even dirt of the wet soil couldn't hide it from his eyes. Whenever the thunder was striking it was showing it's curiosity to be discovered by him. Then he couldn't hold his curiosity up until morning and went to find out himself with shovel to dig into the ground of his newly arranged flower beds. It was ribbons that were shining, it seemed familiar to him. With whole strength of his youthful energetic nature, he ruined the whole flower bed and dig out he was chillingly curious about. It was a dead body of that apprentice of his, the girl he fall for the first time in his luxurious life, that ribbon girl. He got shocked, stunned and stood there for hour an half in that stormy night then later he just covered up the body and locked himself in his bedroom for several months. All his brothers and sisters were worried about his abnormal behaviour. He stopped talking or meeting with anyone, not taking care of himself or letting anyone to touch him, not even going outside of his castle. All day long he was spending his whole time infront of his window faced writing desk, sitting there very quietly and lost in his own thoughts. Then his brother decided to appoint a physiotherapist for him to spend whole day time. Every third day of the week he came to spend time with him. As a result, physiotherapist was the only chattering person here. He was a very jolly young fellow, good looking, handsome who was always talking about his own world that was unknown to prince. He was sharing about his family, friends, work, ambition and even about his crush, a girl who was his student that he wanted to marry and was thinking to proposing her in near future. After a year of hearing his jibber-jabber, the prince decided to meet with his so called loving girlfriend. When she came to meet the prince, she got so excited that it made the prince to propose her for marriage. That young physiotherapist got highly depressed because of his broken heart for losing his only crush then the prince gifted him a house that was bigger enough to carry on his physiotherapy where he could serve his customers with modern technology and techniques. That physiotherapist was so grateful about his kindness that afterwards he never showed his face to the prince. The prince only spent one day with his wife, the day he got married with her. They got married, ate the most exotic foods of the kingdom, spent few hours in the bedroom garden where only she was talking with excitement and shyness because the prince ordered her to speak to him. Then he told her that, from the next day, she had to live with her teacher in his house and learned to be a best physiotherapist of the kingdom and left her in that bedroom garden. All brothers and sisters were shut themselves by their most kind hearted brother's decision. Prince didn't even invited them in his oneday wedding party. Moreover, he ordered his gardener to dig out the dead body from his garden. The whole kingdom stoned by the incident. No one had any idea, who were did so or why. However, it did change the prince a lot. He became the most virtuous person in the kingdom. He developed the kingdom at most modernize way, education to economy, technology to development, he made the kingdom prosperous and peaceful. At some point he got interested to expand their arena, when he learned about a princess who owned and controlled her own kingdom by herself with bravery, intelligence and integrity. She was so prosperous, respected and famous that she never needed any man to conquer her life or world. She never got married and never been interested in any man either. He sent her a proposition to have an acquaintance with him but she refused to keep his invitation and invited him instead to her kingdom to spend few days with her during festivity of summer that they arranged to enjoy all the produce of the summer every single year. He was excited about the festival, he heard so much about it that he accepted the invitation graciously and attended the event. The prince and his fellow members all joined at the event in their civilian dressings, so no one could notice their presence. The prince even suggested the princess to do the same. The princess was not that modest as the prince imagined her, he thought she might be the most egocentric woman who could not accept anyone better than herself in any kingdom that's why she was still alone, might be fickle minded with freckled face, not socially acceptable, unkind, rude and cruel but she was the opposite of everything he ever dreamed of her. She was a simple lady who worked hard everyday like others just under her guidance everyone had to work. She got dressed up for the event as simpler as possible, her well mannered assistance made the prince and his fellows more comfortable and friendly. It seemed like they all were there to enjoy the event as a feisty but actually the princess showing her kingdom to the prince for making the kingdom more peaceful, and prosperous. She was interested to make progressive profitable business that could not be halted. The prince was impressed by the generosity of their civilians, manner and behaviour with their customers. He purchased their own varieties of cheese, dried fruits, fishes, meats and their locally produced grain wines. The prince loved the event very much, during the conversation he learned that all the men and women of the kingdom were unmarried, they could not be married in the kingdom because of their laws of the citizenship of the kingdom. They could stay, get educations, trainings, be the professionals and work for the kingdom but could not get married to harm the peace of the kingdom if they wanted to get married, they had to inform the princess, so she could send them to another kingdom to get married and then send their children back to their main land of their parents. Only unmarried people of the kingdom could stay inside the kingdom, not the married citizens but their children could come back and stay at 10 to 15 years old of age after being eligible for living in the kingdom without their parents and could meet them any two days of the year, if anyone disobeyed the laws then he or she would be banished from the kingdom permanently, if anyone raped anyone then sentenced the same in the dungeon of the kingdom for as long as they did rape then wed them with their victims if the victims wanted to get married with their rapist or else those rapist would be used as labour of the kingdom under the supervision of police officers, if anyone killed anyone then they would be used as a sailor of the ship under the supervision of army officers but those criminals could never land in the kingdom ever again to stay or get married or freed. When the prince known the rules of the kingdom, his curiosity aroused about the ruler and asked the princess about it. She said it could not be revealed but the prince was sure that it was made by the princess herself, for her own protection against men. He was aware about her stressful life and vulnerable security. He was becoming quite sensitive towards her day by day, it seemed he was one of the family member of princess then finally he proposed her for marriage with him. She was surprised at first then she gladly smiled and refused to get married with him but instead she offered him a friendship, loyalty, generosity and business of her kingdom. He was not a man of prudence that he got upset by her refusal but he did asked why then she sadly answered him, she could not be the second choice of wife for the prince who got married earlier with his physiotherapist's ex girlfriend in one word the prince's servant. Then the prince understood what have he done to his own future. The harm he made to his kingdom reluctantly was unbearable for any true princess. He was in his most difficult position in that situation. He never been in love that much as such with her. His first crush was his ribbon girl with whom he never had any kind of loving memories but a dreadful death of her that still haunting him, the wife he had was a wildness of ego. The mistake he made brutally suffering his future. When he was trying to recover the injuries the princess made by her refusal decision then she added, did the prince find out the killer of his servant. He was confused at first about her inquisitive behaviour. Then the princess said she was asking of his first love or crush or girlfriend or concubine or student whatever the prince named her, who was founded dead by him in the garden under the flower beds. He was quite shocked by her background knowledge of him then he said no, he could not find out the killer. Thence, the princess said one of the wealthiest king of another kingdom who was very jealous of the prince, took his student as a concubine then when she got pregnant and she bravely claimed her child's right from him to accept the child as a father, he killed her and buried her in the prince's garden. The prince wanted to know the name of that jealous king because he did not realised that anyone could have get jealous of him. The princess then got worried after seeing his red tearful eyes, shaking body with anger that could not control his wildness to take revenge from that cruel king. Then she hold him to her arms till he calmed down and said to forget about the past then to arrange the divorce of his wife because he was wasting her life with cruelty by not giving her any right of being a prince's wife. The wife who he was never going to touch because she was a love of his one and only friend, his true loyal servant, his physiotherapist. Then the prince asked the princess again to give the name of the king but she said she had no idea what the king's name, the prince said again, why should he divorced his wife if the princess had no intention to get married with him. She then looked into his eyes and said what was the difference between the cruelty of his and the killer king, he was killing his wife's dream of having a happy family and the killer king had killed the pregnant unmarried concubine of his. However, the princess words moved the prince greatly and lightly pushed her to get free himself from her loving arms then she pulled him more closer, touched his cheek with her soft hand for a while then kissed him very passionately which was his first kiss that he forgotten to enjoy and kept in his memory because of his lust for blood of that criminal king who killed his first love. That night was his most memorable night of his life, he founded out that she was the daughter of that king who made the prince's first crush his concubine, for his daughter, he did it because the liked the prince for his only daughter to get married but the prince's unexpected crush made the king cruel towards the prince's servant. When the princess confessed the truth to him it was too late for him, they mad sex with each other for the first time with each other, he lost his every kind of sanity when he was having it with her. Then the next day, he decided to give a divorce to his wife and settle with the princess in her kingdom. Though he was married to the princess, he had not forgotten or forgiven the cruelty her family did. She should have said to him earlier before they made love to each other. It was nothing for him to avoid the marriage but he was in love with her and that was the main problem. He was feeling frustrated and trapped in the middle of lust and cruelty. He never thought that any woman could wait for so long to hunt him. One by one, who could have imagined the horror behind having him could be so devastating. Who could say to him, how many girls died because of loving him, he could not have his peaceful life with his second lover, he was in despair of agony just like an injured lion laying down on the middle of the road. Probably the prince's inner voice hymned to his elder brother's soul that he came with his friends in the kingdom at one good afternoon, all of the sudden without sending any news to the princess. It was a new year gift to the young prince from his elder brother who was the future king of their kingdom. Every single of his friends was a ruler of their own province. Gorgeously good looking, handsome, charms of their presence created giggle in the kingdom. Even princess couldn't realised when she was enjoying her beauty with elegance with them. She was blushing like a fresh red rose from the garden. The young prince was staring to his future king with intrusive sparkling eyes when his elder brother saw his young brother's inquisition to his glowing presence of personality, he was smiling and hugged his younger brother to say how he missed his serenade at night. He took him separately aside to ask him what was the deal going on with the princess. Then the young prince couldn't hold the tears to his bruised heart and cried to his brother's shoulder. He shared everything with his elder brother. After listening to his accidental incidents, his elder brother told him to come back to own kingdom with him. He didn't shared anything with his younger brother acted little bit cold to his young prince's delicate heart, said nothing to him just glared with kindness, backed to their uninterrupted party, increased the enjoyment of the party with abundant gifts to the little princess kingdom, made a lifetime trading business deals with the princess, invited her in his kingdom as a guest, left his friends in her capable experienced hands for her new year enjoyment party and came back with his younger brother to their own kingdom at that very midnight without giving the accidental couple a chance to enjoy their new year hugs or kisses or sex.
