Episode 1: The beginning of the end

There once lived a king and he was about to have his very own marriage with a woman name Esther.

It was the most famous marriage in the Palace and citizens were chatting about it all day long.

Many guest were invited to this wedding and they all had their fun, laughing while drinking away and all was fun…

But although the king really love Esther, his ways of showing his love was a pitiful sight in Esther’s eyes as he did not treat her well. For days and weeks, he have tortured her by putting dozens of work on her time.

This made Esther very mad and as time flew by, her affection for the king as went down like a concentration gradient.

Esther didn’t love him at all…

As the ceremony started, everyone applaud as they walked down the aisle, yet Esther did not like the attention.

While having their speeches, Esther had no sense of love for the king while the king was saying his speech with all his heart content.

The marriage officiant: ”May I pronounce you husband and wife”, “You may now kiss the bride”

At this moment, Esther felt a bit of an unease when coming into contact with the king’s eyes.

After awhile, there was a dancing stage where couples could present their love by dancing away to the dreamy songs.

“My love, would you like to dance with me on the stage tonight?” Said the king as he took her arms in his.

”N-No thanks” replied Esther as she slowly removed her arm from his and walked away, out of the wedding, enjoying the night skies as they glitter all over the horizon.

”What a wonderful starry night” her face relaxed at the sight of the skies as she held a glass of champagne.

Just then, a young man, Charles,  approached her, asking “U didn’t seem happy while kissing the king, is there any problem?”

”His kissing skills are horrible. I don’t think he has ever had a girlfriend before.” Esther responded, lowering her head as she thought about how bad the kiss was.

”That must be an unpleasant experience” The man replied back.

”No one dared to speak against the king” Esther was shocked as this was the first she heard anyone dared go against the king himself.

As Esther turned her head, she was stunned by man’s visuals.

*Is this what they call love at first sight?*

She dropped her glass of champagne and a loud shatter was heard by everyone.

”My love! Are you alright?”, “Who is this man?” The king said as he had a furious look on his face.

On no second thoughts, he immediately summoned his guards to take the man out and as he was taken out by the guards, Esther and him caught sight of each other for a last time. Who would know known… this was the start of another journey….

It was not until 4 years later….
