Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - The Priest's Prophecy

"I am saying the truth,King Rasgulla."

"No, this can't be true ,Priest...Are you saying that our daughter's life will end soon?"

"Accept the truth King.None of my prophecies have been proven false till now."

"Your daughter's journey on THIS PLANET will end after 2 years."

"PRIEST, you shouldn't have told this news directly to us."

" Then how was I supposed to say it ?The truth is truth.No one can change their destiny."

"Well...She is our only daughter. The apple of our eye.Look priest what you have done.My beloved wife has fainted from this huge shock."

The servant whispered in his ears"Your majesty, the Queen has fainted from dehydration,because she refused to drink the water a whole day."

"..."

"She said she is craving only the juice of exported fruit ,which is found one lakh three thousand and forty five miles far only from our kingdom.But since you told me not to disturb you during your royal meetings , I kept my mouth shut."

"....."

"Ahem, anyways, Priest isn't there any alternative to avoid this misfortune?"

The Priest observed the king silently.'Should I really tell these fools?'

"Sigh..King , not every prophecy leads to misfortune.Who knows what could be misfortune for you,could be true happiness for your daughter.Anyways,I am not going to waste your precious time anymore ,since the royal meeting is still going.I just stopped by to tell you about the divine dream I saw."

The priest went on his journey with a divine smile.

Time went by, Princess Rasmalai has grown up into a beautiful young woman.

"Princess,I am the prince of the Unmada kingdom. Although I am cold hearted towards women , your enchanting beauty has melted my heart Princess."

(Unmada means madness which kinda explains his nature lol.)

"Prince,perhaps you might require a royal physician rather than my acceptance of your proposal." The Princess smiled elegantly.

"Princess..."

"Guards, Please show 'Our beloved Grand Prince' the way outside our palace. He probably needs some cool environment to freeze his heart again."

"PRINCESS...NO,we are made for each other.One day,you have to accept me."

"Sure,sure....might be in your dreams."

'This is the 98th time he showed his ridiculous face.'The Princess frowned.

"Princess, please maintain your elegant expression."

'This again sigh... Don't know how many such scumbag princes I am dealing with... Sometimes I wish I would have just remained as a common person.Someone who would just treat me as a normal person rather than a royalty.I wish I could choose whatever I wanted to do.I..just want to live with people whom I could talk with.The present royalty doesn't allow me even to live the life I want . Princess this, Princess that.'

'Damn it.' She didn't know how many years of frustration had been piled up inside her .Her heart was becoming heavy.She didn't need a crown.What she needed most was mental peace.

"Princess, It's time for a bath.Let us help you."

"No need.I don't need any assistance today"

"Understood Princess "

'Even Mother doesn't care about me.All she does is indulge in luxury.She even asks me to be thankful about it.'

Splash.

'Why don't she understand that not every one is comfortable with the luxury.I just wanted normal friends whom I could laugh and play with.To marry a man who I love .I don't want to be a part of political marriage .'

"Clothes."

"Yes Princess."

The Princess remembered that day during her childhood, when she approached some commoner's children playing tag games.

'I wanted to join them but they smiled and ran away with different excuses just because they didn't want to hurt me unknowingly.'

"I would like to take a walk in the garden .Tell everyone not to interfere with me for some time."

"Yes,Princess "

"Sigh..."

Rumble.

"Huh?"

"...."

"Am I hallucinating,or did the earth really rumbl.."

Crack.

"Huh??"

Crunch..

"Whaaaaaat?"

"Heeeeelp someoooooone."

The earth split into two halves in the garden with the Princess falling in the deep passage.

"Oh my God, Princess"The servant who was passing by the garden yelled.

"Guards, someone save the Princess quickly"

"Inform the king and the Queen "

'Too late.'

'The Princess had already departed for her next journey. ' The Priest disguised as one of the palace guards was secretly observing the situation this whole time.

'I wish you all the happiness,Princess.'

"Aaaaaaah..." 

Thud."Ugh..what I didn't get a single scratch even falling from such a height."

"But where is this place ugh..my head"

Honk.

".....?"

Beep beep honk.

"So noisy."

"Hmm what is this?Seems like a metal box.Did I landed on this strange metal box?"

Vroom vroom.

"AAAH the metal box is moving."

"Damn it, it is increasing its speed. It's a speed monster AAAH.."

'Think Rasmalai think.Think of it as a horse you have been training and doing sword practicing on for years.Ugh,but there are no reins.'

'Wait, are those black things a monster's ears?'

"Let me grab it."

Screeech..The man driving the car was startled by a pair of lady's hands appearing on his car's windshield.

"Gghoooost..."

The Princess fell forward on the ground but thanks to her amazing reflexes she was able to balance herself.

The man stood there in awe.

Nearby the crowd gathered and were witnessing the situation too.Some even recording to post on the Mestagram. 

"Mom are they shwooting an action scene?That sister in royal attire is so pwetty."

"I don't see any cameras son.These days maniacs will do anything to be famous. That's why you should study hard to become an engineer or doctor so that you don't become like them,Understood?"

"Yesh Mumma." 

The child decided to become a famous Mestagram influencer like that pwetty sis someday.(She is not an influencer)

From the tallest building which stood far across the road ,a dark visible figure can be seen observing the commotion.
