Recap : The princes friends the goblin and duchess have eneted his life again . The knight unkown to all is back too..
And it goes like .......
Unknown of the knights return,the prince is rejoicing his parents decision to remain together and the reunion with his friends. The princess who is chirpy ,sweet and friendly by nature is excited on hearing about the duchess and the goblin.She shares her thoughts with the prince - they would go hunting together , camp outside, have bonfires ,she would take some special bread ,it would be so much fun.The prince is amused and touched by his wifes simplicity.Every such moment make him fall in love with her all over again .
The duchess is back at the goblin's inn ,their secert meeting place .She knows her father the Duke of Earlwood nor the King know about this .During her childhood visit to the palace with the her father ,she and the prince used to sneak into the tree-house in the inns backyard .One day in the past they were caught by the goblin and the rest as its said is history ...Ah! those were the days..
She opens the door of tree house .Its way too cramped,nah she has grown big right :) . A spasm of pain catches her unaware ,the knight.She remembers that day when she got scared seeing him hiding in bushes and the goblin and prince had run to rescue.Later they came to know ,knight was the son of a Duke too and he had seen them together .He had awalys watched them play from far and wanted to be part of their secret group without the knowledge of his father.
The goblin was mighty miffed ,that is it him his friends were trying to hide from the King and Dukes .But friendship is such a sweet thing that it overcomes couple of glitches here and there ,few miffed moments and some real blunders .With every summer they met and with years it was this time of the year she looked forward to .Their composition and the music they made for fun and sang in the inn ..One day it had all started in jest and leg pulling at the knights write up and the princes humming that ..later it became a passion and just their special thing..But 5 years back all this stopped ..the brutal way her love was rejected...so much pain ..she closes the door to the past ..
Here the prince is happy to have his friends back ,he badly wants to share this last 5 years the ups and downs and the treasure he found , his princess.They all are back at the inn ,sitting by the bonfire reminiscing about the good old days ..Ah ! he misses the princess , she wanted to camp out and make bonfire .But first he needs to clear these webs of five years neglect before he brings her here.He sends a silent prayer ,hold on dear I love you the most but these needs to be dealt with.
Finally the pricess meets the duchess ,haughty indeed this lady is and too lady like.Will they ever be friends she wonders?The duchess feels princess is naive ,the prince she knew would not have fallen for her ,the princess must be some fairy with magical powers then.But grudingly admits she is intelligent and her love is visible and enthusiasm contagious.Checks herself before she also falls in love with this chirpy fairy .She has no place in her heart for anyone.
In the meantime ,Lady Elena asks the duchess to help organize the wedding preparation of her niece Lady Beth and also chapperone her . The bride is not well disposed now but the groom to be, would be there on her behalf .He is a Knight and has been courting Lady Beth .Duchess is happy to help as the prince anyways would be most time occupied with the princess, she would have little do this summer.
She goes to inspect this Knight's Castle .The ball room would be apt for the celebrations and the drapes needs to be changed. hmmmm.. She is taken back by this sudden anxiety emanating in the room ,looks around who else is there .The Knight ? ..The knight takes the pleasure in explaining her that the castle she is standing in is his and the wedding she is arranging is his too . .The duchess composes herself and congratulates him ..She just closes her and heart and jumps head on into the wedding preparations.Once the wedding is done she would be free of this comittment and her past too.Darn..Why did she have to meet him again ? ..so much for peaceful life and moving ahead..
PS: I have the more to it but it would be too much to read at one shot 😆😆 ..I will break it in two posts..as the length is scaring me now 😆😆 ..main bhavnao mein beh gayi ...Sorry guys
