? THE SNAKE GIRL ??
{The One 4 the prince}
? EPISODE 13?
?BY ANITA OBI.?
? SHARIA ?
I’ve been given a banquet to live in the palace….
To be frank I’m not happy with the way my life is now,I miss those times I stay in Arises banquet and I miss being his cook…
Aris I hope you’ll not h@të me for chosing Medro,I just don’t want you to be hurt ?..
How do I solve this,why are the gods complicating everything for me ….
I cannot watch him kill any of the princes and I also know I don’t have the power to fight with the gods….
Was in the garden reflecting when I saw soldiers dragging in my family….
Let go of me” Lydia said pushing one of the guards away and came hug me tight”
SHARIA… I’m so sorry..I heard about everything, Sharia please forgive mum and dad ” Lydia said”
Lydia dear you are the only family I have, don’t worry I won’t order the soldiers to treat them badly, because of you they’ll be given food to eat once a day….by the way where’s Maria ” I asked the guards”
My lady,we didn’t find her at home… don’t worry we’ll find her as soon as possible ” they said”
You better do…now take those two away ” I said angrily as father looked at me in tears saying”
Sharia we are so sorry…all I wanted was to be part of the royal family ” father said”
That’s why you gave Maria my snake shell, make us believe that Maria was the snake girl,you stole me from the palace and added me to Maria after mother gave birth to her,you began to refer us as twins and then used the opportunity to send me to live in the forest just because the gods forbids twins,do you know how heartbreaking it is to find out that the people I call family are not actually my family,the one I call my twin is not even related to me, listen carefully you two must rot in jail as the king commanded, take them away ” I said in tears holding Lydia beside me”
SHARIA please,we are sorry “mother said in tears as they took them all away”
Sharia please think about it, mother and father won’t be able to survive in prison ” Lydia said as my eyes captured ARIS sitting far away under a tree”
Lydia, that’s my banquet over there,go in have some rest and eat wh@tëver you want to eat… I’ll be with you soon” I said ”
Okay Sharia ” she responded leaving”
I walked slowly down there,was just thinking of what to say to cover up for everything I’ve done to him…he said alone dressed like an ordinary soldier with his hands on his cheeks….
I got closer to him trying to say something but couldn’t….I was lost of words..what do I say to him now…
What do you want Sharia..I know it’s you” he said not even taking a glance at me”
So you still know my footsteps ” I asked”
Knowing your footsteps means nothing, just say what you have to say and leave ” he said angrily”
Really,ARIS.. please can you ever forgive me?” I asked in tears”
For what? For chosing my brother over me? Because he’s going to be our next king? ” He asked angrily as I went closer to him and touched his soldier saying”
My prince ” he cut in pushing me away”
Don’t touch me young lady and don’t you ever call me your prince,you saw clearly that I am no longer a prince,I own nothing as a prince… I’m just an ordinary soldier in the palace and I’ll be leaving after your marriage tomorrow with prince Medro ” he said in tears as I couldn’t stop myself from crying”
Aris please believe me that I have my reasons doing all of this..ARIS you are the one I….” He cut in ”
Just shut your mouth… just shut up Sharia.. you’ve hurt me so bad,I know you don’t have feelings for me but why didn’t you chose me,why did you chose Medro…you barely know him sharia…how could you do this to me,I let go of the feelings I had for fanny only because you stole my heart and now this is what I get in return?” He asked in tears as I couldn’t hold back my tears”
” I can’t keep standing there because I might end up telling him the reason I did so,I decided to run back to my banquet but he grabbed my hand saying”
Where do you think you’re going to,you want to go inside and cry? No way..you must cry in my arms…” He said grabbing me into his arms hugging me tight as we both began to cry harder”
? SHARIA please stay in my arms and cry because from tomorrow..I won’t have the right to see you again, I’ll leave the palace..I won’t even have who to make me smile the way you used to do… Sharia I miss those times in my banquet,I Miss those times you steal and also those times you became the gods in my room, Sharia I love you so much ” he said crying seriously”
Aris I’m sorry ? I’m sorry ” I kept saying because that was the only thing I could say to him at that moment”
? PRINCE MEDRO ?
I sat in my Banquet drinking thinking about Sharia.
I know deeply that she feels nothing for me but why did she chose me then….
Master Medro” I heard a voice from behind calling as I turned and saw Lydia ”
Lydia ?” I called drunkenly rushing to her as we both hugged each other ”
Oh no master you’re drunk” she said grabbing me tightly helping me to sit”
No I’m not Lydia, I’m just thinking about your sister” I said drunkenly ”
You mean Sharia? master Medro please don’t drink too much, listen I heard everything that happened…I know you’re now our prince… don’t worry I’ll make sure Sharia loves you okay,I promise ” she said with her hand on her chest as I smiled and said”
That’s why I’m always happy whenever I see you Lydia…” I said placing my drunken head on her soldier and fell asleep”
?????? NEXT DAY ????
? SHARIA ?
The day has come…the day I have decided to give my life to protect the two prince has come.
I know I am no match to battle with the gods but I must do what it takes to keep ARIS and Medro save…
The gods wants to destroy Medro after being made the crown prince, I’ll use my powers to protect Medro and won’t let them place me the crown because I don’t want to marry him,the one I love is ARIS.
I was already dressed up like the crown princess to be… Medro was already waiting for me ….our parent and everyone in the kingdom are gathered to witness this day as it’s going to be a great one…
The maidens match with me to my husband to be …..
I stood on our traditional alter with Medro holding hands with him as everyone began to clap and shout for joy…
My eyes captured ARIS who was sitting in front of the congregation on the ground with a pot of wine drinking seriously and smiling at me….. Since he’s no longer a prince,he cannot be sited with the royal family….
Suddenly we heard ARIS saying aloud drunkenly…
Hello my queen to be..you are looking very beautiful on that dress…. you’re so beautiful Sharia OMG….” He said aloud as I became sad seeing him in that condition”
” This is not the time for me to be emotionally down,all I want is to be focused and be ready to strike when the gods arrives”
SHARIA,are you okay ” Medro asked me as I nodded and faked a smile to him”
Now let’s beging….” The king said as our great seer came up to us with the crown”
” Medro is to be made the crown prince before I’ll be made his wife”
My prince.. please kneel ” the seer said as Medro knelt immediately but I kept watching over ARIS to know if he’s okay”
Today..as the great seer of this kingdom..I make you the crown prince of this kingdom ” he said placing the crown on medro’s head as I quickly casted my cage spell to cage ARIS up ”
Suddenly we saw the cloud changing as we all saw the gods appearing….
Everyone bowed immediately as I stood Infront of Medro who was shocked to see the gods….
The king and queen bowed to the gods as we all heard ARIS screaming from inside my cage saying..
Let me out of here now… I’m not seeing clearly” ARIS said aloud when suddenly the gods casted a spell and broke the cage as I was about using another powers to protect ARIS but the gods landed me on the ground ”
Ahhhh…” I screamed in pains as everyone were shocked.. only me understood what was happening ”
SHARIA” ARIS rushed to me as I was vomiting blood ”
” All I need to do is to use my powers to protect the princes, although I know I might end up losing my life doing so because the gods will torture me so bad,I can’t think of using my powers to fight him because he gave them to me,all I want is to use those powers to protect the princes before I die”
Gods of our land,we greet you…. please what’s happening..that lady is the snake girl.. she’s the one you sent to save us from the demon king” the king said as ARIS held me into his arms ”
Yes I know she is the one, I’m not here for her but for Medro whom you’ve refused to sacrifice” the gods said casting a spell on Medro as he landed on the ground in pains ”
I pushed ARIS away and went to the gods saying…
I won’t let you hurt any of them..you must have to face me” I said angrily as I heard ARIS shouting from behind saying”
SHARIA… he’s behind youuuuuuuuu” ARIS said aloud as I turned and saw the gods I was talking to behind me…he turned himself into two persons….I was confused and didn’t know how to start protecting the princes, the gods have divided himself into two ”
What do you think you’re doing, please take me instead and let them be” I said angrily as he began to laugh ”
? Hahaha hahaha..wow..why should I take you when I sent you here… you’re not yet done with your mission” the gods said caging me with his spells and dragged Medro closer to him with his spells ”
Medro stood up without a sword and grabbed the gods hand about to twist it as the gods pushed him to land on the ground….
Noooooo…let me out of here” I screamed when suddenly we all saw ARIS rushing to Medro who was already bleeding on the ground ”
Medro.. Medro are you alright?” He asked ”
” We saw ARIS getting up angrily and facing the gods angrily saying ”
How could you be this wicked….why didn’t you kill him ever since you knew he was still alive…why do you want him dead now…” Aris asked angrily”
?How dare you questions your gods, aren’t you happy that he’s going to give way for you? When I destroy him.. you’ll have your Sharia and also the throne you’ve worked hard for ,think about it ARIS ” the gods said as I was struggling to come out of the cage”
Listen to me carefully…you have to let my brother live, please I’m begging you gods of our land…this is just his second day in the palace…also the second day his being with his real family… please have mercy..you know my father and mother did do what was expected of them but someone took him away, please gods of our land..look into this and have mercy, don’t kill Medro I’m begging you ” ARIS said in tears as Medro managed to get up ”
Aris.. don’t worry about me.. since this is what the gods wants then he should have it..gods of our land..you can go ahead and kill me” Medro said as ARIS stood Infront of him”
No you won’t kill him.. you’ll have mercy or better still kill me first ” ARIS said Infront of Medro”
?Wow.. indeed you are twins… since that’s the case,I should kill you instead and let him live ” the gods said as I screamed”
Noooo.. don’t do it…gods of our land remember what I told you,that if you kill any of them I won’t battle with the demon king ” I said inside his spell ”
gods of our land, I’ve lived a good live all the years of my life, please let my brother go and take me instead…let him enjoy the live I have enjoyed…as for the woman I love…if she ends up with him then it’s fine for me,all I want is for sharia to be happy ” ARIS said but before he could complete his statement.. the gods stabbed him immediately with the golden sword ?”
Noooooooooooooo……Arisssssssssss??” I cried aloud as Medro held him in his arms crying”
Noooo..ARIS… ARIS” Medro cried out as the royal family burst into tears”
” I was filled with anger when suddenly i didn’t know how I got the power to bring myself out of the cage”
I will kill youuuuuuuu” I said angrily as the gods began to laugh saying”
? Sharia Sharia sharia.. seems your gods did not tell you who you’re coming to battle with…now that I have destroyed one powerful soldier in the kingdom then I can deal with the rest of you nowwww???” he said”
What the heck are you talking about ” I asked angrily when suddenly he transformed into the demon king saying”
Do you understand what I mean now??” He asked as I was shocked ?”
The demon king ?”I said surprisingly”
