Chapter 27: Sweet Storytelling
"Except her?" Dritan asked his son.
"Yes except her, do not let anybody inside except HER," Huo said again, stressing.
"Are you sure about her? Like she is the one?" his father asked looking at him.
"I have never been so sure of anything else except her," he said. "Is is difficult to trust?" he asked his father back. "Don't worry I know what to do," he said.
"Make sure nobody knows when she enters the castle except when I invite her over,"
"Why are you inviting her?"
"For your coronation ofcourse, shouldn't she see it, witness the moment, like you did hers," Huo couldn't help but smile as he turned back when his father mentioned. He was reminded of everything that happened during her coronation.
"Yeah she should, " he said and took off.
Dritan saw himself how his son's face brightened the moment he mentioned the name of the princess.
"What are we going to do my son, we have put ourselves in a very difficult hole, let's survive first and bring the princess home afterwards," he muttered as he watched his son leaving the court.
Huo stepped out of the castle for a moment to see around. He went to the nearby market and took a stroll around the stalls. The story tellers at each and every corner. As he passed by, he heard a story about the demon prince. Since people weren't used to his face, he stood there listening for a moment.
"And he was chained as he entered the court, but soon the princess him, she left her place and ran towards him. He was bleeding from the wounds caused by his enemies. Broken hearted, princess unchained him and disappeared. Nobody knows what happened after that." the story teller finished the story in the middle.
"Is that all? Is the story real?" Huo'er asked her.
"Yes, the return of the lost prince,"
"but I heard differently from the insiders,"
"What is it, the people gathered turned towards him which angered the story teller.
"Pay him and I will tell you all," he compromised. People did as he said and he started narrating his own version.
"The princess and the lost prince fell in love when they were training together that man said. But they focused only on training. Both of them are very righteous people. The lost prince afraid of losing his love after graduation soon confessed to her and later she said yes. But they never got time to be together, they only knew at heart that they couldn't live without each other," the crowd sympathised for the prince and the princess. "But the princess and the prince was cheated by their best friend and he was caught because of that girl. When the princess saw this, she saved the prince and took him with her. But the prince knew what his duty is and left to fulfil his responsibility to his Demon Clan. He promised the princess that he would rightfully make her his wife, but the heaven and hell never got along, so people are forcing them to quit," he stopped the story
The crowd looked upset and the women all had tears in their eyes.
"How do you know all this? a lady asked him.
"A guard who witnessed all this told me the whole story two days back, I felt so bad for the prince and the princess," he said sympathising along.
"We should look out for the prince and princess and then warn then about that cheater" a man said as he heard the story. And everybody agreed with him. Huo'er found a self satisfaction in what he just did and walked away, smiling.
