The Mistake

The ruthless, arrogant, clever and devishly handsome tall king from New castle named Edric Middelton ruled over the whole kingdom. All the nobles and commoners in the kingdom lived under his dictatorship. One day, he went to visit a small town with the intention of seeing their marketplace. He saw a few farmers and their helpers were working hard in the field harvesting crops for them to feed themselves for winter. The king was so impressed by the spirit of these people that he decided to buy some of their crops. In order to do so, he had to pay money from his pocket which wasn't much because he was very rich.

As soon as they saw him coming, they all bowed down before him exactly like they were taught by their forefathers and showed respect to him however they were scared deep down knowing his short temper, They maintained their posture pretty well and the king was satisfied so asked them to lift their heads and continue their respective works.

The king was walking around the palace with a man and a woman following behind him. When he turned to the left, he bumped into a little girl and his fruits got scattered all over the floor. The little girl quickly apologized, but the king became furious. He demanded that she pay for what she did, but the girl said she only had a flower in her hand to sell and she couldn't afford it.

The king decided to make a deal with her - if she can make him laugh by evening, then he would give her some of his wealth. If not, he would sell her to another kingdom. The little girl agreed and went back to her house. She sat down with her sister, crying because she was hungry, had no food left in the house and scared to get sold. She told her sister everything that happened while crying and trembling.

They both tried to think of something that might make the king laugh. Their first idea was to tell him about how they have been starving for days, but they didn't want to make him angrier so they decided to come up with another plan. After some time, they came up with an idea and began to practice.

The girl told her sister to act as if she is the king's daughter and made her go to the market. She then walked towards the king, bowed down and asked him for help. The little girl whose name is Emily said the king is unmarried sister what do we do now?

the sister now seemed very worried she couldnt possibly let her sister ending up in getting sold. She started to cry but finally she decided to gather up some courage and meet the king and try to convince him to forgive Emily. 

So she told Emily about her plan and said that they will meet the king. They left the house and they were on their way to the palace to see the king

When they reached the palace, they saw the king standing outside and talking to someone. The girl ran towards the king and said I am here to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness.

The king was shocked to hear this from her and was also surprised to see the girl running towards him. when the kings eyes fell on the girl he was mesmerized by her angelic beauty and her sweet voice.

For a moment he didnt know what to say he kept staring at the beauty he noticed she was wearing a very old white dirty gown.

She looked like a beggar and she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was fair with long black hair, brown eyes and doe like eyes with long thick lashes. She had an innocent and a gentle but a tiring look on her face. Its easy to tell she hadnt eaten anything good for a long time. 

He asked the girl "why are you here oh ya that little brat must be your sister she was supposed to make me laugh or else you know.....what can happen right? little doe."

The girl looked at him and tried to convince him to show some mercy on them and her sister is still a child 

"I am sorry for what happened, please forgive her and please if you have to punish someone then let it be me you can punish me Your Majesty but let my sister go please she pleaded to the ruthless king."

The king seemed to be thinking and he finally said "alright so you will be working here in the castle as a maid until im satisfied enough to let you go and i will give your sister some money for her to survive"
