Chapter 35 - 35

Ext. Market - Night

Stella is walking alone when suddenly Leo grabs her

Leo: Shhh! It's me

Ella: Leo?! What are you doing here? I thought you guys were not allowed to show up

Leo: Is it true that you are getting married?

Ella: Are you serious? You came all they way just to ask me that lame question?

Leo: Tell me!

Ella: Yes. Why are you concerned? Don't tell me; you are here because of jealousy and you are trying to stop the wedding

Leo: It's not that

Ella: Then what is it? If I recall well, we don't like each other. So you should be happy that you have dodged a bullet

Leo: That's right. Then let me ask you, do you really want to marry him

Ella: What is wrong with you tonight? I think he is a nice guy and he really likes me

Leo: Then who am I to stop you. I should go before I get discovered

Ella: Be careful on the way

Leo: (He walks away then stops at a distance) Ella!

Ella: (She turns then looks at him) What?

Leo: Congratulations

Ella: Thanks

They both go their separate ways

Leo: {What I wanted to say was that I love}

Ella: {His congratulations seems sad like he didn't want me to get married. Does he like me?}

Int. Palace- Throne room- Night

Dan walk in to find his dad quietly waiting for him

King Lion: I don't think you should marry her

Dan: Why? If I recall you said I can marry any girl that I want

King Lion: You don't know a thing about her. Who knows, she might be one of the girls you failed to catch

Dan: I might not know anything about her. But I do trust that she is not a bad person and will not harm me

King Lion: I am just saying. Monique was the right choice for you. Maybe you should consider

Dan: No, it's either her or no wedding at all

Ext. Palace - Day

People have gathered to see the wedding of a century. Everyone is happy and blessing the couple. Watching from after is Monique

Cy: (Stands besides her) You look so sad! Shouldn't you be happy like all these people, its been a long time since we had a royal wedding

Monique: How can I be happy when it should have been me there. Look at how happy they are, it's like they want to purposely get on my nerves. But don't worry, soon their laughter and joy will turn into ashes

Cy: I hope you won't do anything stupid.

Monique: She will have to die for snatching my dream and he will have to keep for rejecting and losing her.

Cy: When did you become so devious? Out of all our cousins you have always been the sweetest and sensible

Monique: I am still the same. I won't stand by when someone messes with my heart and sincerity

Cy: Then make sure to hire someone to do it for you. I won't want you to get caught and go to prison. That place is not for a lady like you

Monique: No! I want to do it myself. She should see me killing her and know why she has to die before I send her to the land of the dead. Why are you laughing?

Cy: How can you possibly do that, aren't you dreaming a bit too high. You have never killed a person before

Monique: Then help me learn archery

Cy: I am too busy, I don't have time

Monique: Please, won't you spare some time for your favorite cousin?

Cy: Fine, just buy me fine wine

Monique: Of course, let's go. I am getting sick from watching all of this

The scene ends with people watching a classical dance

Int. Palace- Dans Room- Night

He motions his bride inside the beautifully decorated house

Dan: From now on this will be your home. Everything I have is yours, whatever you want you shall have

Ella: Of course, even you will be fine.

They both laugh, he helps her to take off the hair accessories. From a distance, hiding the king is secretly watching them

Ext. Mountain - Night

Dawn and Wayne are watching Leo who is training hard like a fool

Wayne: I have never seen him like that. It has become dark and he is still at it

Dawn: That's because he is heartbroken. First love is always a pain. He just realized that he is in love but unfortunately it was too late. He couldn't get her

Wayne: I feel so sad for him. I hope he finds new love so that he can forget her

Melanie walks towards him

Melanie: I think you need to take a break. If not your body will suffer the repercussions of your stubbornness

Leo: A war is coming and I need to be strong for it. The only thing I can do is to keep training. I will not rest

Melanie: Of course you won't need rest when you are dead. You can only be strong when you take care of your body and know your limit. If you push hard you will only suffer.

Leo: Then let it be

Melanie: Come on, you are not the first and definitely won't be the last to be disappointed by love (walks away)

Wayne: This is why one should fall in love early, he won't be in this dilemma. People call me a player but I just learnt a few lessons from life. Look at me, now I am immune to heart break. And may I ask why you are laughing?

Dawn: That's right, you have ample experience in that department. You just reminded me of your first heart break. It was surely a sight to see

Wayne: How dare you miss the point and remind me of the past? Don't we all have a history, besides I don't think it was that bad

Dawn: (Laughing) You think
