⟨ TIME TO RETURN ⟩
⟨ THE KING’S CHAMBER ⟩
King Osvaldo sits in his room, taking off his crown, when Narmada enters his room with a bright smile, holding a tray containing tea and honey biscuits.
“Father” She said smiling.
“Oh, Narmada what brings you here?” King Osvaldo asked.
Narmada smiled brightly and went closer to him, dropping the tray on the table.
“I brought you tea and honey biscuits” She said smiling.
“Really? What’s with the occasion?” King Osvaldo asked.
Narmada sigh and sits beside king Osvaldo, wrapping her arm around him.
“C’mon father, must there be an occasion before I serve tea and honey biscuits to my father?” She asked with a smile on her face.
“You can’t blame me Narmada, you have never done this before. You always hang out with the maids, listening to their hearsays and dressing like them” King Osvaldo said.
Narmada giggles and rest her head on King Osvaldo’s shoulder.
“Sorry about that father, I was just carried away by the hearsays the maids always tells me, and I forgot I have a father” She said.
“Is fine Narmada. Were you the one who made this?” King Osvaldo asked, taking a bite from the honey biscuits.
“I wasn’t the one who made it, Kira did, but I assisted her while she was preparing it for you. I just want to spend some time with you, because I feel something isn’t right” Narmada said.
“Something like what Narmada?”
“I don’t know father, I feel something strange is about to happen, and I feel is going to befall on me” Narmada said with a sullen face.
“You are just being illusional Narmada. Stop having this feelings that something is going to happen to you, okay” King Osvaldo said and Narmada smiles.
“Fine, I won’t. Are you enjoying your tea and honey biscuits?” She asked smiling.
“Yes I am. Make more of this for me, and I want it to be solely prepared by you” King Osvaldo said and Narmada laughs.
“Fine I will father” She said and King Osvaldo looked at her and smiled.

⟨ QUEEN ANJALI’S CHAMBER ⟩
Queen Anjali banged her hand on the table, with some much anger burning inside if her.
“This can’t be happening, it can’t!!” Queen Anjali yelled.
“You need to calm down mother” Supriya said.
“I can’t calm down Supriya, Thiago should be the one to become king after the reign of King Osvaldo, not Cheng, not that cursed child with dark powers!!”
“What is going on here?” Thiago asked entering the room.
“She is so angry about the fact that the ministers of Maelstrom, wants Cheng to be king” Supriya said. Both have already settled down difference. This past few days, Thiago hasn’t gone to the brothel, or flirt with the palace maids.
“Is that why you are angry?” Thiago asked and Queen Anjali looked at Thiago with unbelievable eyes.
“Are you the one saying this?” She asked.
“Yes I am. Since they want Cheng as king, there’s no need to create a fuss” Thiago said.
“Really? No need to create a fuss? You are the first Prince of Maelstrom in case you have forgotten about it. How can you not do or say anything when your younger brother is about to become king?” Queen Anjali asked, with a feeling of disappointment.
“Is obvious father never wanted me to be King. He has always favoured Waylon, and if Cheng didn’t get possessed with dark powers, he would have loved Cheng more. I can’t force him to handle the throne to me, and I can’t force the people of Maelstrom to see me as their future king. Let’s stop all this madness mother, I am tired” Thiago said.
“You are tired? You have to fight for what is yours not getting tired!!” Queen Anjali shouted at Thiago.
“What have you achieved from all the fighting you have been doing? You got disgraced when you try hurting Cheng’s bride. Aren’t you tired of making a fuss every single time?”
“Are you trying to say you don’t want to be king anymore, is that what you are trying to say?” Queen Anjali asked.
“Do you want the truth? I never wanted to be king mother. You were the one who filled my head with the nonsense authority I was going to have if I become king. I know you care about me, but let’s stop right here and now. It’s not compulsory that the first prince should be made King” Thiago said and leaves the room.
“I…I will just go with him” Supriya stuttered and went after Thiago.
Queen Anjali clenched her fists, and her neck veils popped out, indicating how angry she was.

⟨ CHENG’S ROOM ≈ NEXT DAY ⟩
“You are finally awake” Tatiana said to Cheng with a smile on her face as she walked closer to him.
She sits beside him and touched his forehead.
“Your temperature is back to normal, it was so high last night. Why did you faint after saving the children?” Tatiana asked.
“So it wasn’t a dream?” Cheng asked as his eyes became misty.
“No Cheng, it wasn’t a dream. You actually save the children from the burning house and everyone praised you for it” Tatiana said.
“Reall, They did?” Cheng asked as tears falls down his eyes.
“Yes Cheng. But why are you crying?” Tatiana asked.
Cheng sniffed back his tears, cleaning his wet face with the back of his hand.
“Sorry Tiana. I just got so emotional. This is the first time I have done something good with my powers, this is the first time I saved lives, rather than destroying and hurting lives, and this is the first time people loved me for being a demon” He said crying, and Tatiana hits the back of his head.
“Why did you hit me Tiana?” He asked with watery eyes.
“First time people loved you of being a demon? Are you minusing me out? I have loved you despite knowing you are a demon. Didn’t I continue loving you despite the numbers of times you tried to hurt me? And even when you can’t remember our childhood moment together, I still loved you. I have seen you transformed into a demon thousands of times, but my feelings for you didn’t change. So how can you say this is the first time people loved you for being a demon? You should have said is the second time people loved you for being a demon, because I loved you first” Tatiana said.
“Are you mad at me for saying such?” He asked calmly.
“Yes I am. So angry that I feel like smacking your head again” Tatiana said squeezing her face.
“Come here” He said spreading his hands wide open for her, but Tatiana scoffed folding her hands under her Břě@šťs.
Cheng smiled and snuggle closer to her, wrapping his arms around her body.
“Tiana”
“My name is Tatiana since you have decided to minus me out of being the first person that loved you” Tatiana said trying to free herself from his arms, but Cheng tighten his arms around her.
“Stop being so fussy. Why should I described you as people, when you are my life?” He said and Tatiana smile.
“Really? I am your life?” She asked smiling.
“Yes Tiana. So don’t be mad at me because I already know you love me, and I love you so much too” He said kissing her hair and Tatiana smiled.
“The whole of Maelstrom are talking about you Cheng. It’s spreading more wildly than when they discovered you have a demon living inside of you. They pasted lots of pictures about you, saying you are a hero, and you are fit to be king” Tatiana said.
“Really?” Cheng asked.
“Yes Cheng. Everyone in Maelstrom knows about what you did last night, even Swati came here to inquire if the hearsays are true. They don’t h@ťě you anymore Cheng” Tatiana said, and Cheng smiled looking so happy.
