All head bow except for Lorenzo the Emperor who stood staring at her weirdly.
When Gwen got to him.
” Unveil the Bride” A voice shouted, And slowly Lorenzo removed the veil revealing Gwen who was trying so much to smile.

Episode 1 & 2 : THE PRINCESS’S PLAN

~MORNING~EXECUTION GROUND
👥 What’s happening?
👥 Isn’t that General Finn?
👥 What’s his offence?
👥We need explanation…

The villagers murmured amongst themselves…
A man can be seen, He has several whip marks over his body, He’s looking tattered and unkept…He was chained to a pillar.
Despite the situation he’s In, He was smiling…He know he’s gonna die, Emperor Lorenzo won’t have mercy on him.

“I warned you but you refuse to listen, you were after the money, Now see where it has landed you” A woman who happens to be the man’s wife said, But he didn’t even look at her.
“I told you that trying to assassinate the Emperor was a bad idea…
“Shut up woman!!”The man yelled.

👥So he wanted to assassinate the Emperor.
👥He deserves death.
👥I pity his wife.
They kept murmuring…

“His Majesty Arrives ” a voice was heard, Instantly everywhere became dead silent, Only the sobs of the woman crying could be heard.
Emperor Lorenzo came down from the carriage, Everyone knelt down as he walked on Majestically…
He was dressed in a historical black and Red Royal robe, His white hairs were flowing in the wind.
As usual he wasn’t smiling, Yet he was dangerously handsome.

“So Finn are you ready to talk…Tell me who sent you to assassinate me”His cold and audacious voice sounded.
“Even though I tell you, you’ll still kill me so it’s better I die without telling you “Finn (man) said.
Lorenzo Chuckles, darkly.
“Then I’ll gladly end your life “He mumbled.

“Your majesty please have mercy on my husband, He’s just being stupid please have Mercy on him” Finn’s wife pleaded She was on her knee clinging to Lorenzo’s robe cloth.
How dare she!, Only a glare from Lorenzo made her crawl back, The guards seized her.
“Your majesty please have mercy!!!”She screamed but Lorenzo paid deaf ear, He picked the sword before directing it to Finn’s heart region.
Even the villagers were touched,But her pleas were like melody to Lorenzo’s ear.

“Ahhhhhhhhh”Finn let out a painful scream as blood splashed on Lorenzo’s face as he smiled wickedly.
“Long Live Your Majesty” The villagers hailed even though it wasn’t from the depth of their hearts.

FENNER KINGDOM PALACE
The palace was quiet as usual, Maids and Guards were parading around performing their duties.
Moving into the dinning, The King and his wife and daughter were eating silently.
“So Sharon hope you’ve prepared things, You’ll be leaving tomorrow”King Darius said and Sharon frowns before dropping her chopstick,
“Dad so you seriously want me to marry Lorenzo”Sharon said and one could notice that she’s the rude type.

“Don’t tell me you’re still over this…See Sharon it’s for the sake of the kingdom…
“And died my happiness matter”Sharon interrupted.
“I’m your only child…I’m not marrying the Emperor, he should come and kill us all who cares”Sharon said rudely with an eye roll That got Darius angry
“You must be out of your senses, Lemme tell you… You’re getting married to Emperor tomorrow and that’s final”King Darius said angrily before facing his wife who has silent all along.

“Better warn your daughter woman!”He snapped angrily before marching out.
Queen Blossom exhales before speaking.
“Sharon please listening to your dad.
“Mother so you’re taking sides with him”Sharon said with tears In her eyes.

“It’s fine I’ll marry the Emperor since that’ll make you both happy” Sharon said sarcastically before walking out, Queen Blossom sigh sadly
From where Gwen and her friend Mira had been eavesdropping.
“Younno I pity Sharon even though she’s a spoilt br@t this stuff is way too heavy for her” Gwen said.
“You’re right but she should listen to her parent, at least for the sake of the kingdom, she’s the only option and hope “Mira added.

“Motivational speaker, If you were her you’d be doing same thing she’s doing now “Gwen said and Mira scoffs.
“I’ll gladly marry the Emperor “Mira said.
“Really?”Gwen asked boringly.
“Yeah heard he’s handsome, Just imagine the kind of care and attention she’ll get over there, How I wish…

“And what’re you two gossiping about”Came a strict voice, it was that of the head maid.
“And how does it concerns you”Mira said arrogantly.
“What did you say “The head maid asked.
“Never mind we’d resume our duties “Gwen said dragging Mira along.

NATARAJ KINGDOMPALACE~M&G ZONE
Noise was lurking around the zone, The Guards and maids were chatting, they’re actually done with their morning duties, So it’s time to eat and have fun.
Jericho and his friend Fionn walked in, They’re both guards here in the Palace.

👥 Jericho is getting handsome.
👥He has always been handsome.
👥He’s mine.

Some maids gossiped amongst themselves as Jericho sat down at a particular table with his friend who won’t stop staring at him.
“Dude why are staring”Jericho asked feeling uncomfortable.
“They say you’re getting handsome, Lemme confirm it” Fionn said, Jericho rolled his eyeball.
Just then Irish served them their food before sitting beside Jericho.
“Morning Jerry”She greeted before smiling at Fionn.

The three are close friends and rumors has it that Jericho and Irish are dating.
“So how was your night Jerry” Irish said picking her chopstick as they resumed eating.
“Fine”Jericho mumbled, Fionn clears his throat and they look at him.
“Aren’t you gonna ask me about mine”He said and Irish rolled her eye ball.

“Are you two really dating”Fionn asked.
“Shut up” Both Irish and Jericho yelled.
From another angle a pair of dark eyes were glaring daggers at Irish, It was Alana.
“I hate that Irish girl, she seems to be a slvt and I hope Jericho find out”She said angrily.

“Yeah”One of her friends supported.
“Heard the Prince is also crushing on her”Another one said.
“I don’t believe it Rome can’t go for a cheap stuff like her ” The first one said.
“I’m serious, I saw them discussing the other day” The second one said.
“so?”
“You two should just shut up!”Alana yelled angrily still glaring at Irish who was chatting with Jericho.

~A Forest~~
A cloaked figure alighted from a carriage before walking towards a bushy area with the aim of meeting someone and as expected the person was there
“Tell me he’s dead”The cloaked figure asked anxiously.
“No…Finn got caught and he was executed by the Emperor himself”The guy said.
The cloaked figure groans.

“Looks like we’ll go for plan B”The cloaked figure said.
“Yeah princess we should run away”The guy said coming close to the cloaked figure.
“Exactly!…Leon we’d run away tonight”The cloaked figure said, The cloak fell off and it turns out to be Princess Sharon.
She pulled the Leon guy into a deep kiss.

Episode 3 & 4 : THE WEDDING

Irish had a frown on her face as she made her way to Prince Rome’s room, Some minutes ago he sent for her…Not like she had any business with him
She exhales before she twisted the knob pushing the door open, she walked in to see him reading a book, She only smirks.
Like Lorenzo, Rome was his perfect replica, A handsome cold hearted guy but people still think he’s better that Lorenzo, At least he has human sympathy not like the heartless Emperor.

But Irish hates him to the core…
“Are you done staring” Came his deep voice as he drops the book he was reading.
“You wish”Irish scoffs with an eye roll which got him chuckling.
“So why do you call me and hurry up with whatever you want to say”Irish snapped expecting to Rome to say something but no he was just staring at her, Weirdly.
That got Irish a bit shy,
“You’re cute”Rome said with a smile.

“Rome I mean your highness, should I repeat my self…I already love some else, Just let me be”Irish said, Rome frowns.
“It’s because of that Jericho gut huh?”Rome asked as he stood up,
“Whatever” Irish mumbled under her breath.

“What does he have that I don’t have, Tell me Irish” Rome said a bit angry.
“He has senses but you I doubt…”She said shaking her head, Rome’s mouth dropped open.
Before he could even say another thing, Irish walked out.
Rome stood there dumbfounded.

Irish came out of the room burning in anger, Seriously she need to teach this guy a lesson, If only he wasn’t a Prince she’d gladly destroy his face with hot punches.
When she sighted Alana coming the anger in her multiplied.
“Guess my friends were right, so something is really going on between you and the prince”Alana said smiling mischievously.
“Meaning?”Irish asked glaring at her.

“Nevermind but lemme tell you, I’ll inform Jericho about this…He’s so called girlfriend is nothing but a cheat”Alana said laughing slightly but Irish bursted into laughter which made her frown.
“Oh seriously!, are you that jobless”She laughs.
” Isn’t obvious that you have a thing for Jericho but lemme also tell you he’s mine…By the way you’re heading to prince room probably for another round right”Irish said.

” You?” Alana said raising her hand to hit Irish but she caught it in the air.
“Don’t keep Rome waiting” Irish laughs mockingly before walking away.

**Evening
FENNER KINGDOMPALACE
“Your majesty the princess is…is..”The guard stammered.
“Go on the princess is what”King Darius asked .
“She ran away”The guard finally said, Both the king and the queen’s eye widened.
“We saw this in her room”The guard said, He brought out a paper which the King collected and read thus;

§ Dear Father, Mother or whoever is reading this, Yes it’s just to tell you that I’ve eloped with my boyfriend, Don’t bother to find us cos we’ve left The Kingdom… Princess Sharon ✍️
The king and the queen were still staring as they remember The Emperor’s words.
“I’ll spare you all on one condition…

… I’ll marry your daughter and try to play any trick, I won’t hesitate to kill every single one of you”.
That last line alone means nothing but death,
” Your majesty ?” The guard said bringing them back to reality.

QUEEN BLOSSOM’S CHAMBER••
Later that midnight, Queen Blossom was in tears,
Aside the fact that her daughter run away because she doesn’t want to marry Lorenzo.
What will she and her husband tell the Emperor tomorrow being the wedding, Only heaven can save them right now because they are beyond hopeless
She was still in deep thoughts when her personal maid Gwen walked in with a tray of food.

” Your highness, please eat something” Gwen Said dropping the food in the table.
” Ion feel like eating” Queen Blossom said wiping her tears, Only a senseless woman would eat In a situation like this .
” Uhmmn your highness…can I ask a question”Gwen said and Queen Blossom signaled her to talk.
” Now that the Princess had ran away, our kingdom had lost, If something is not done we’ll also loose our kingdom to The Emperor” Gwen said.

” You’re right, we’re doomed ” Queen Blossom said crying the more, Geen only sighs sadly, Just then an idea flashed into the queen’s mind.
” Why don’t you replace her, you’re beautiful at least and also The Emperor hasn’t seen my daughter in person” Queen Blossom said.
” NoNoNo…. disguising as the princess also means meeting my own death, Your highness what If he finds out” Trinity disagreed.
” C’mon don’t be stupid like my daughter, do it for the sake of our kingdom” Queen Blossom pleaded in tears, Gwen reluctantly agreed.

THE NEXT DAYNATARAJ PALACE
Today the Emperor will be welcoming a new wife, Several preparation had already being made, They’re now waiting for the bride to come so the wedding can begin.

**DINING
Princess Nyx had a frown in her face as the maids served the food, her parent are busy and she hates eating alone.
Actually she’s Emperor Lorenzo’s only child and thus fact made her rude, arrogant and pompous juts as the age of 12
Make her cry and the Emperor will issue for your execution, Trust me
Her mom is the Emperor’s wife…
” My Princess, why didn’t you attend your dad’s wedding ceremony” A maid asked jovially as she dropped a cup of hot tea on the table
Nyx glances at her before she took the hot cup of tea and pours it directly on the maid’s face.
” Aaaaah!….”.

The maid screamed running out.
” Anyone else who have anything to say” Princess Nyx snapped, The maids around only bows their head.
” You fools should get out” She said hissing.
Just Queen Rhea walked in, Princess Nyx is a perfect replica of her.

” Sweetie why didn’t you attend your dad wedding ceremony” Rhea asked taking her seat.
” That’s same question that senseless maid asked me ” Nyx replied with a frown.
” Hope you did the needful” Queen Rhea said.

” Trust me mom, I baptized her with hot tea” Nyx said with a smile.
” That’s my girl” Queen Rhea said and she and Nyx did a high five.

Instantly the chariot halted, Gwen came down with red royal historical robe sweeping the floor neatly and she was also veiled.
She walked in gracefully, She was trying so much to act normal but it’s not working, right now she’s sweating despite the fresh air around the area
All head bow except for Lorenzo the Emperor who stood staring at her weirdly.

When Gwen got to him.
” Unveil the Bride” A voice shouted, And slowly Lorenzo removed the veil revealing Gwen who was trying so much to smile.
” You’re not the princess Sharon right?”Lorenzo asked with a weird smile sending Gwen’s heart to trip miles away….

Episode 5 & 6: YOU’RE HANDSOME

“You’re not Princess Sharon right?”He asked sending Gwen’s heart to a trip miles away, She didn’t even know what to say at that moment or what should she say?, Right now she wish that the ground should open up and swallow her once and for all.
But did he even find out.

“Just kidding” He suddenly said with a weird smile, Gwen felt relieved, But to be sincere the joke was way too expensive.
The wedding rituals continued.
“Bow down to heaven” The priest said,
Lorenzo and Gwen bowed.

“Bow down to the crowd”They faced the crowd as they bowed.
“Bow down to each other”They faced each other and bowed.
The next word that came out of the mouth of the priest almost made Gwen took her heels…
“You may kiss the bride”He said, Lorenzo smirked weirdly as he stared at Gwen who felt like disappearing, She now even regret disguising as the Princess…

She totally forgot that ‘Kissing’ Is also part of the ritual.
Several thought were still rumbling in her mind, She didn’t know when Lorenzo’s lips met hers, Her eyes widened crazily.

LYSSA’S PLACE (SHRINE)
Prince Rome walked in only to meet Lyssa the priestess meditating, Her eyes were closed..But yet she felt his presence.
“Rome what’re doing here” She asked opening her eyes, Rome took a seat.
“Nothing… Just strolling”Rome finally replied.

“Strolling?…On the Emperor’s wedding day, Shouldn’t you be there”She said.
“I should be the one asking you that aren’t you the priestess”Rome said.
“My assistance is there”Lyssa said.

“Whatever”Rome mumbled under his breath resting on the chair.
“So tell me Rome, Why didn’t you attend the wedding”Lyssa asked, But Rome ignored her looking around the room.
“Oh lemme guess, Perhaps you’re ashamed cos you’re still unmarried”She said and the look on Rome’s face was more than funny.

“Don’t worry Rome I’m available at least you can marry me no Bride price added”Lyssa teased, Rome suddenly stood up from the chair.
“Enough” He said rushing out, Lyssa couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction.

The Rituals had already being done, Right now those that attended the wedding are busy eating and drinking while chatting noisely.
Meanwhile in the Emperor’s Study room, Lorenzo was on his inner robe cloth as he sat down going through some files.
The door creaked open, Leopard he’s right hand man and friend walked in.

“How’s the investigation going”Lorenzo asked his gaze still on whatever he was reading.
“We still haven’t found out any thing”Leopard said sitting down before he crossed his legs on the table, Lorenzo glance at him but he didn’t even flinch
We could say he’s the only free person.
around Lorenzo.
“Today is your second wedding be happy, At least smile” Leopard said funnily, Lorenzo drops his book before settling his gaze on Him.
“Does this look like a smile to you”Lorenzo said smiling weirdly, leopard didn’t know when he ran out of the room.

Leopard bumps into his younger brother, Allen.
“And what are you doing here”He asked.
“I came to visit the princess” Allen replied, He’s same age with Nyx, 12.
“What’s going on between you and princess girl”Leopard asked.

“Nothing” Allen replied, As they both walked along the long corridor.
“Uhmmn Brother remember you promised to take me to the Brothel Tonight”Allen said and Leopard groans.
“Seriously why are you so eager to go their corrupted br@t” Leopard said.
“Aren’t you the one corrupting me, You made a promise to take me to the Brothel and you must fullfil it”Allen finalized.
“Whatever”Leopard grumbled.

~NIGHT~
Gwen dismissed the maids around before she pulls off her robe, She walked I to the bathroom, She stepped into the tub of warm water.
She exhales…Her mind suddenly went back to the kiss…She found her self smiling.
“Pretending to be Someone isn’t easy”She thought before she came out of the tub.

She dried herself with a towel, she walked in to the room and she found her Night robe on the bed, She quickly wore it and fell on the bed.
Gene was about to sleep when a knock came on her door, She groans before she went for the door she opened it only to behold an angel.
A gasp escape her lips, The guy in front of her is handsome even more than Lorenzo.

She was lost staring at him, his Pink lips were moving like he was saying something but Gwen couldn’t hear she was carried away by his handsomeness
“You’re handsome…”She said like she was under a spell, Her hand going to the guy’s face.
From the left angle Queen Rhea clears her throat.
