Episode 1 & 2

“Kaylan, are you sure about this?” Jaden asked in a whisper as they crouched behind the bush, looking left and right.

“Of course! Stop asking me” Kaylan replied in a husky whisper.
“For the first time, I pleaded with someone not to report me to my mother, but the dump man still went ahead to paint me black. So, he needs to pay”.

Jaden sighed, knowing she wouldn’t be able to change her best friend’s mind.

Kaylan looked left and right again, and when she confirmed there was no one watching, she stood up and tip-toed out of the bush.

Philip’s little house was right in front of her and his tables of fruits were well arranged, drawing her attention. Well, that was exactly what she was heading for.

He was actually a fruit seller and she figured it must’ve taken him a lot of efforts to arrange those, but hell, she didn’t care. He was a wicked man and needed to be thought a lesson.

She got to where the table and with a little effort, she pushed it down, making the fruits roll over on the floor.

Philip came out of the house immediately and his eyes dilated in shock when he found his table of fruits rolling on the floor.

“What?” He flinched.
“Princess Kaylan?! Princess Kaylan?!”

Kaylan giggled and without much hesitation, picked two apples from the floor and ran back to the bush.

“Here. Let’s go” she gave one of the apples to Jaden and they started running away immediately.

“Hey! Stop right there!! How dare you?!” Philip called out ran after them, but they were way faster than him. So, he couldn’t catch up with them.

Kaylan and Jaden laughed as they ran heavily and only stopped when they sure Philip wasn’t after them anymore.

“Oh my God! You’re such a badass, Kaylan!” Jaden laughed so hard as they both fell on the floor, resting their back against the wall.

“Well, yes. That man is so mean. The very day I’d gotten to know he’d beaten up his wife and chased her out of the house over a minor argument, that was the moment my hatred from him increased. Big fat fool” Kaylan snapped and took a huge bite from her apple
And so did Jaden.

“Whatever, Kaylan. Your father’s warned you to stop causing trouble around. How were you able to leave the palace alone, anyway? I thought he’s assigned some guards to you?” Jaden asked.

“Well, I offered them drinks. But unknown to them, the drinks were poisoned” she paused and giggled. “They’re fast asleep in my room at the moment”.

“What the…Are you kidding me, Kaylan?”
They both busted into hearty laughter.

“Sometimes, I wonder if you’re truly a princess”.

“Oh, please! To hell with royalty. It’s boring” she rolled her eyes.

“Do you know what my plans are?” She paused and took another huge bite from her apple.
“In a short time from now, I’ll run away from home. I’ll go far to a place where I can live the kind of life I want – as a free lady. I’ll make sure father doesn’t get to know of my location so he doesn’t bother me with his boring queries” she rolled her eyes.

“Huh? Are you kidding me? What about your mother?” Jaden nudged her.

“Oh… That’s true. Mother would never agree to go with me” she placed her hand on her jaw in thoughts.
“Anyway, I’ll definitely think of something” she concluded and continued eating her apple.

Ahhh! If she had known, she’d had taken more than two.

“By the way, Kaylan. I overheard my father discussing with one of the King’s cabinet this morning” Jaden said after a few seconds.
“They said…Master Xander’s cabinet is looking for a bride for him. They had actually requested for one from your father, but your father turned them down, saying he couldn’t marry any of his daughters off to someone like Xander”

“Hold on” Kalyan clicked her tongue. “Xander is that cruel Master, right? Who’s lost 2 wives?”

“Yes, yes. Exactly”.

“Huh? So, he’s looking for another wife?”

“Well, Personally, Xander wouldn’t want a wife. But having an heir is important to the community. So, he needs to. He isn’t even making any efforts about it as his cabinets have been the ones doing the search”.

“Oh…”
Kaylan turned back to eat her apples.

“What happened to his late wives, anyway?” Sbe asked.

“Well, I don’t know. Nobody does and I guess it’s a mystery. But that Xander is really cute. Just that…he’s very mean. I heard his people are extremely scared of him. And I heard he’s never lost a battle. He’s a very powerful man”. Jaden enthused.

“Oh! Whatever. Why did father turn down his reauesty, anyway? He should’ve married Rebecca to him. That witch deserves to be with a devil”

“What? You’re unbelievable, Kaylan” Jaden nudged her and they bursted into laughter.

“Well, despite how Popular and powerful Xander was, people are still scared to marry their daughtets out to him. I heard before his previous wives died, he was very mean to them and never showed love to them – not even for once. That man is really scary, you know? Most people nickname him – the handsome devil” Jaden paused and giggled.

“Anyway, I hope for the…”

“There they are! Get down!” They suddenly heard a voice and turned to see Philip running towards them with some boys.

“What?? Kaylan!” Jaden exclaimed and they sprang on their feet immediately and started running away.

“Make sure you get them! I need those brats alive!” Philip roared in anger as the boys ran ahead of him.
Oh! He really couldn’t wait to lay his hands on them – especially the princess

Kaylan and Jaden actually found it amusing as they kept running away from the boys.

They ran into the market place, accidentally ruining people’s goods as they bumped into them.

“Oh! Good heavens!

“What Is happening?”
Some of the market women flinched as their goods came crashing to the floor.

“Sorry..!”
“I’m so sorry..!

“Excuse me…!”

The two ladies apologized and giggled as they ran away.

They bumped into a paint man and different colors of paint got poured on their faces – especially Kaylan.
Hers was from her hair to her legs.

“Oh my God! Kaylan, you look like a clown!” Jaden laughed so hard at her.

“They’re coming. Come on!” Kaylan urged and they continued running.

Finally, they stopped running when they ran into a carriage.
The rest of the people around were actually standing aside with their heads bowed, but Kaylan and Jaden were too overwhelmed and by the time they could notice, they were already standing in front of the Royal carriage.

“Oh-oh” Jaden shook her head and took some steps back when she realized it was the King!

The King was sitting on one of the horses and couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his daughter, looking like a local tout.

And unfortunately, it was too late for Kaylan to run away.

Kaylan paced tho and fro in the room, feeling so impatient.
She couldn’t believe her father had locked her up in a cell!!!

Not exactly a cell, but a room that looked like a cell to her!

She marched angrily, her baggy dress swaying left and right with her

Ahh! She was in trouble. Yes, she could feel it.

But why did she have to bump into him anyway? Like… why did he have to ride through the market of all places and at that particular time? He just wanted to get her into trouble, huh?

Urgh!! He was looking so mad at her! And definitely, he must’ve gotten to know she drugged the guards so she could sneak out of the palace.

Oh!! This is really a mess! What is she going to do?

Shortly, she heard the door opening and stopped walking, guessing it was him. Or maybe, her mother.

She watched keenly as the door opened and unexpectedly, it was Rebecca and Martha – her step sisters
Urgh! Seriously?

“And here she is” Martha chuckled as they both stood by the door.
Hold on… why did the guards let them in, huh? Kaylan thought angrily.

“Goodness! Martha, look at how she’s looking like a clown” Rebecca said in a whisper, but loud enough for Kaylan to hear.
And the two girls bursted into laughter.

“This lady is definitely not my sister. I mean… which princess in her right sense would act this way?”

“Hey! If you know you have nothing else to do, I’d suggest you go feed the dogs before I turn you into one myself” Kaylan snapped at them and they laughed heartily.

“You really have no shame, do you?” Rebecca scoffed. “You’re such a disgrace to the family – always moving around like a tout”.

“You really want to know how able tout behaves? Well, I can show you…”.
Kaylan was about going to her when the door opened again and one of the guards walked in.

“Princess Kaylan, the komg wants you in the throne room” he said with his head bowed and Kaylan took in a deep breath.

“Oh, please! You can just call her Kaylan. She doesn’t deserve the title” Rebecca said sarcastically and walked out of the room, giggling with her sister.

Kaylan glared hard at them, trying so hard to control her temper.
It wasn’t so difficult for her to go after them, pull them by the hair and give each of them a desirable beating. But she’s made the King angry enough already and didn’t want to add to it. At least, not yet.

She took in a deep breath and followed the guard out of the room.

*********************

Getting to the throne room, she found her mother, the King, and two men and one woman as well. They were all familiar.

Kaylan bent her head in contrition as she knew what was going to happen. Those people were definitely there to lay complaints on her and knowing how bad she had upset the King today, she knew it wasn’t a good idea.

She arrived in front of the throne and took a glace at the villagers.

“Good day, father” she turned to the King and said, but he didn’t respond.
Her mother was wearing a bittered look as well.

Slowly, the King turned to the first man and said:
“Go on”.

“Your Majesty” he bowed. “I don’t mean to bother you, but what happened is really disheartening and I just need to say it out. Right now, my son is lying on the bed, bruises allover his face because the princess had beaten him up mercilessly’.

Kaylan’s cheeks got heated immediately. Damn it!.

The King glared at her and looked at the second man.

“Yes?”

“Your Majesty” he bowed. “The princess had almost burnt down my farmland. Although, she didn’t, but she threatened to return at night and do it and I just wanted you to please, My King, talk to her so she doesn’t carry out that threat”

Kaylan pinched herself slowly. Definitely, these people were devil- sent.

“And you?” The King said to the last complainer who was a woman

“Your Majesty” She began. “The princess actually pushed down my goods while running earlier on at the market today. Everything got mixed-up with the sand and became ruined! I know I shouldn’t be bothering you, My King, but I had to sell off my important jewelries just to start up that business. And now that it’s gone, I really don’t know what to do” .

Kaylan’s head was bowed the whole time, not wanting to look at the King.

Oh God! She was done for.

It took some time before The King spoke up.

“Guards!” He called and two guards came scuttling in.

“Your Majesty” they bowed.

“Take then to the financial secretary and tell him I want some compensations given to them” he ordered.

“Yes, your majesty”.

“Oh! Thank you so much, your Majesty! Thank you so much!”

“May you live long!”
The villagers greeted happily and left with the guards.

“Hungry things” Kaylan jibed angrily in her thoughts.

“Kaylan!” The King’s voice broke into her thoughts, sending cold chills down her spine.

Oh! Damnit! And here it comes!

“What exactly do you want me to do with you, huh? How can you go around, causing havoc like a pest?! You’ve made commoners have every reason to visit my palace at anytime they please. You’ve turned my throne room into a room of complaints and mockery!

“Other Kings make jest of me – discussing amongst themselves that I have a daughter who behaves like an tout! How could you go around beating people up and burning down their farmlands?!”

“Caleb was at fault, father” she said with her Head bowed. “He had thrown a stone at me and that’s the reason I chased him and beat him up. And as for the other man, it was just an empty threat. I can never burn down his farmland. I’ll never do such a thing to anyone at all. And…”

“Shut up, Kaylan! Shut up?!” He roared and her mouth clamped shut immediately.

Goodness! She’s never seen her father that angry before.

“How about the woman who’s goods you ruined?” He asked, but she didn’t say a word.
“How about Philip’s fruits? And how about the guards you drugged! Are you so bent on bringing shame to me?!”

A stunned silence stepped in.

“Your other sisters behave matured. They make me proud and have earned a lot of admirations from great Masters and rulers. But you, all you’ve brought to me is nothing but shame and disgrace. Not even a single prince has ever written to you, or make any form of advancement towards you. And with this, it’s shamefully possible you’re only going to grow old here in my palace without ever getting married! Is this the kind of life you’ want, Kaylan?!”

Another silence stepped in.

“I’ve made up my mind, Kaylan” he continued, his voice sounding more cold. “I’m sick and tired of having you here in my Palace. And I’m not going to punish you anymore because I’m tired of it as well!!

“You’re leaving this family,Kaylan. You’re leaving this palace. You’re getting married”.

Kaylan’s eyes dimmed.
What??

“And it’s to no other person but Master Xander”, the King added.
