SCARS - CHAPTER 41&42
(WAR! WAR! WAR!)
MORNING ~ CHOLA EMPIRE
Movements became paramount in the palace as everyone were going to and fro in preparation for the wedding.
The event planners,the chefs,the make-up artist,the hairstylist and the maids were all busy.
The palace smelt good and fresh as the aroma of different delicacies hit the nose of everyone.
Ampah’s chamber
Ampah was in his room getting dressed. Though he didn’t have a happy face on,he missed Alessia but his hands were tied up.
He cursed Adora in his mind and wished this day never came to pass.
He looked smart and tidy in the milk coloured suit he wore. It matched his blue dyed hair and his blue bow tie which sat beautifully at his front.
His dresser did some finish touching to his suit before going over to bring the shoe. It was blue in color and it fit neatly into his feet.
Though he was a lover of green but his mom made a color choice for him. He stared at himself on the mirror and was impressed.

Adora’s Chamber
The make-up artist did a finishing work on Adora’s face cos she was definitely more beautiful than herself.
“Wow I love this” She gushed admiring herself.
“Princess it’s time to wear your gown” Her dresser opened a box and a pure white silky laced gown sat inside.
“Oh my world, my gown is so pretty” She squealed and ran to pick it up.
She hadn’t gotten to see the gown earlier cause all preparations was made under Queen Lazebel’s order.
The maids assisted her in wearing it and the dresser arranged it properly before Adora faced the mirror.
“I’m an angel,oh my God” She covered her mouth with her palm.
“My princess you’re beautiful”
“I love your gown my princess”
“You look elegant on your wedding dress”
“My princess you look angelic, I’m so happy for you”
The maids admired her and Adora’s head kept puffing up as she smiled proudly.

CHOLA SOUTH
Alessia stood staring at herself on the mirror. She was fuming with anger and impatient at which the time was slow.
She was dressed already,in a golden robe,her hair were arranged in a ponytail.
Ella came to her with a cup of coffee. She placed it on the mini table and glances at Alessia.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Alessia furrowed her eyebrows.
“Do you know who your twin is?” Ella asked and Alessia gave her a questioning face.
“How did you get to know?”
“I overheard your discussion with my dad last night” She pouted.
“Do you know it’s wrong to eavesdrop on adults conversation?”
“Well I..I was just curious” She stuttered.
“It’s fine,come here” She stretched her arms and Ella embraced her.
“I love you cousin” Alessia ruffles her hair.
“I love you too big cousin”

Wizards Coven
Corbin sat on his throne smoking pipe when Pandora came in screaming.
“Arghh my face, it itches, arghh” She fanned her face with her hands.
Yorkoo hid laughing at her. He had secretly entered her chamber and added pepper spray to her face cream.
“What happened to your face?” Corbin held her up.
“Pepper!! Someone added pepper to my cream!!” She raved loudly.
“Soldiers!!” He called and two soldiers ran to him.
“Take care of her and be fast about it cos we have no time” He ordered and they left with her.
“Yorkoo come here!!” He sat back on his throne. Right now his face was filled with fury.
“Yes Dad” Yorkoo came in bowing his head.
“Why did you do that?”
“Do what Dad?” Yorkoo asked.
Corbin stood up from his throne and approached Yorkoo.
“Let me begin with you” He held his neck and strangled him till life left him.
“Dispose this trash” Corbin said to two soldiers and they took Yorkoo’s body out.

CHOLA EMPIRE
The wedding ceremony had began,the dancers are entertaining the congregation with their dancing steps. Soon they were done and they called the upcoming couples to the stage.
Ampah and Adora faced each other, Adora had smiles on her face but Ampah kept a straight face.
Who cares anyways?
The dignitary stood in front of them dressed In a white flowing robe ready to join them.
“Before I go forward with the rites,is there anyone who is here that is not in support of this union or has something to say against why they should not be joined, speak now or forever remain silent” The dignitary said.
The entire place was silent and calm but just then Corbin and Pandora walked in getting the attention.
Queen Lazebel almost urinated on herself when she saw Pandora.
“What is she doing here? I thought she had ceased to exist” Queen Lazebel wondered,she began sweating intensively.
Corbin had a scorn look on his face before sitting down. Pandora kept all her eyes on Queen Lazebel.
No one spoke.
“This union is free to stand”
He got a big book and flipped the pages.
“Prince Ampah repeat after me” The dignitary requested.
“I Ampah would take Princess Adora as my lovely wedded wife,in pains,sorrow and lost I shall stand by her and noting shall come in between our union except death” The dignitary said and Ampah repeated after him.
The dignitary turned to Adora.
“Princess Adora repeat after my words”
“I Princess Adora would take Prince Ampah as my lovely wedded husband,in pains,sorrow and lost. I shall stand by him and noting shall come between us except death”
Adora repeated after him.
The congregation clapped their hands joyfully. The dignitary opened the ring box revealing two shiny golden ring.
Ampah picked one.
He was about slipping it into Adora’s finger when the gate fell and someone stepped in.
It was Alessia. The ring fell from Ampah’s hand as he was lost staring at her.
Corbin’s mouth made an “O” shape when he realized who Alessia was.
He felt the energy immediately she entered.
Pandora gave her a wide smile but Alessia ignored her.
Alessia fired an arrow towards Queen Lazebel but she saw it quickly and dodged. It hit Charlotte in her left hand.
“Arghhhhhhh” Charlotte wailed painfully as blood pumped out.
