chapter 2

: Tsk! The emperor clicks tongue!!

Get rid of that body too while you're at it.

Emperor commands Lars.

: Your majesty, forgive my insolence but everyone in the empire knows of your highness, lord Chandra's marriage with lady Parmila. Even if we don't accept it still she did give birth to the Lwellyn offspring. So getting rid of the body without a proper funeral will not be good for your image.

Lars says.

After thinking a while the emperor says " hmm.. you're not wrong. Ok then get rid of the brat only and tell everyone that princess Parmila died while giving birth to that other child. "

: As you wish!

the emperor leaves the room.

The emperor's footsteps slowly fades away.

: LORAINE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GOING AGAINST THE EMPEROR!! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!

: BUT BROTHER LARS, HOW CAN I LET YOU GET RID OF THE BABIES?! I PROMISED MADAM TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN!!

: That is more of a reason that you shouldn't go against the emperor! You are going to have to take care of the princess afterall!!

Lars sighs

: But what about the youngest princess?! You can't just kill her!!

: Don't worry, I'll make sure she survives without the emperor's knowledge!

: Ok if you say so.

Loraine holds both babies in her arms and hugs.

: I'm sorry princesses. After losing both your parents now you have to lose eachother as well.

Loraine puts the children into Parmila's arms one last time. Everyone in the room is filled with sorrow.

A grand funeral is held in memories of princess Parmila. Every Nobel in the empire is present while the commoners are also lighting candles and putting flowers remembering her. On the other hand head butler Lars instructs a coachman while putting the youngest princess safely in a basket.

Princess Parmila lies beautifully in the coffin with her long brown hair and beautifully embroidered dress. Her Ruby eyes are closed now. The eyes that once intoxicated the prince is now forever resting. She is now lying beside her dear love, prince Chandra who once fought bravely in the battle but unfortunately couldn't come back to his pregnant wife.

It's raining heavily and the night is darker than ever, that it seems like the souls of the dead will rise at any moment. But even in this heavy wind and rain , the Woods couple hears soft cries of a baby.

: Honey what's the sound?! Seems like a baby's crying!

Mrs Woods says.

: Don't be weird honey , how would there be a baby here?! And in this rain?!

: I know but..

: *Sigh* listen honey I know you want a child desperately but you need to control your emotions!

Mr wood says while gently holding his wife's hand

: Don't be stupid dear, I know what I heard. You try to listen closely too!

Both of them goes silent for a moment.

:W- wait! You're right!

: See! I told you!

: Hey we should first open the door and see! It's raining heavily outside and a baby is left just like that?!

Mr Woods says

The woods couple run towards the door and open it. They see a new born baby is gently wrapped with a soft blanket. They pick up the baby.

: My, even in this weather how are you not even a little bit wet?!

Mrs Woods wonders.

Mr woods notices there's a note with a bag full of gold coins that says " please take care of her "

: Honey , I think she's a Nobel's child! I don't think we should take her in.

: Don't be stupid honey! Do you think she would be here if they loved her?! I can give all the love she needs.

Mrs Woods says while looking at the baby with compassionate eyes, then stares daggers towards Me woods " And you, close the door! It's freezing!!"

Mr Woods smiles softly and closes the door.
