Princess of doom

In an enormous bed lies a man. From the majestic atmosphere and the rich jewelry that was in the room , you could tell this man was the king. The midnight wiered sounds of insects had begun, the man turned on his bed and started dreaming.

The king was riding his horse with no protection which was unsual, then from nowhere, he sees a baby crying by the pathway. Full of sympathy, the king stopped his horse and went up to the child. Looking at his face , the child's gaze was horrible and full of fury .From the King's facial expression anyone would tell he was scared. The king turned and said, the child with no love has no regards for anyone and....

The king had not yet finished his statement when he heard a voice say from behind him,"that's why I have no regards for you."

The king had the voice came from behind him and before he could turn a sword was already plunge through him.

The king woke up at once, the once peaceful man who snored was now full of sweat

Just then, king's lead guard was at the door.

Is everything okay my king. Captain mathias asked.

The king surveyed his area, now seated on his bed,he made his hands move simultaneously in his chest inspecting his body but nothing was wrong ,he wasn't injured. Mathias was now uneasy at the door."I think I am okay" king Peruziah replied. Mathias went back.

So it was just a dream. So horrible. Why at such a time. I should be dreaming of success but then why do I dream of my downfall. The king was questioning himself and he decided to spend the next hours of his time seated on his bed than sleeping. He even never wanted to blink. He had remembered a quote that enemies attack while you sleep and at night. So he had to stay awake and keep watch. He trusted no protection at that hour. Dawn approached slowly than usual and the king was not at ease.The king thought even the sun was now against him punishing him for his unjust deeds.

Morning sun came out slowly, the young princess Shirley was already out playing with fish in the palace pond with her maid who was to her a sister.The maid was Lydia. They were just back from the nearby forest touring the beautiful scenery. The princess was a friend of nature and this was her daily routine.She was a lady of nature and nature was in her.

The king moved by the pond and both Shirley and Lydia stood up in respect but the king passed as if he didn't recognize any being.

Why does father treat me this way? He doesn't treat me like the rest.Princess Shirley asked Lydia but the king had hardly moved a longer distance and heard Shirley's question but ignored it.

Lydia knew he heard it, I don't have the faintest idea my princess.

Why call me 'my princess' now? Nobody is around.

The king had called a sudden council meeting of his trusted advisors as he surely needed the meaning of his vision. He narrated the dream and no elder said a word.

My king, one finally spoke ,No one of us has the faintest idea , I refer you to Mezebu the wiseman. He lives in the east of this kingdom.

"Send him word,"the king ordered.
