Sympathy with him !Oh No !
King Snape shook him back and with glazing eyes stared at Ashton.
"You....my son died because of you, I won"t spare you !"
He snapped at Ashton to grab him by collar.
When King Drakos yelled at guards who came to control him.
"Take this mad man out !"
They held him by both sides and dragged him out of the hall while he was continuously yelling.
"I won"t spare you !"
"You all killed my son !"
"By Luca died because you Ashton !"
"My beloved son, Oh my son !"
"Please come back, Ashton I won"t leave you !"
And his voice faded away.
The intense atmosphere of hall rested the same when king Drakos cheered them up.
And Ashton told the whole story to the guests.
The bride was replaced with Lucia and then again with Helena ( Saavi ) remained the secret between the kings of two kingdoms. As it"s disclosure could cause unnecessary rebellion by people.
King & Queen from Rosalind kingdom arrived, greeted and spend time. A peace treaty was already signed between two kingdoms. The people were happy , the air filled with joy and the pompous celebration ended.
Helena met everyone with a smile but she was still on point that Ashton killed her so called father Mr. Elmer. As it wasn"t told or cleared by him in the whole party. Perhaps he wanted to hide his sin.

Ashton entered the room hesitating, stepped in with despair and sadness upon his face. The room was quiet and Helena was sitting on the edge of bed.
When she saw Ashton she stood up immediately & strode faster towards him.
She looked at him with teary eyes something happened __but what ?
Saavi wanted to utter something but kept on staring when finally she said __
"I love you"
Wait what !
Some moments earlier :
"Uh hi !"
A girl came in__ slender but cute , blonde hair & tanned skin with elegant expressions and innocent look.
"h.e.l.lo"
Helena replied stretching & throwing herself on bed.
"Helena .....I mean Saavi , I wanna talk something."
"Who are you ? And how do you know my name when everyone is calling me Helena !"
"I know many things that you don"t !
And I want to share those with you ."
"But who are you ?"
"I"m Lucia daughter of Mr. Elmer !"
"Wha.....what ? I"m his daughter and only daughter !"
"Actually yes and no !
Your biological father king Salvatore gave you to my father. So that you"d be kept away ....safe from this war !"
"What are you talking about ? Are you in senses ?"
"Yes I"m, my father took you in as your daughter and kept his own family.... me and my mother a secret from you. When she died he used to spend more time with me. Remember his abroad tours ?"
Saavi sat down on the edge trembling , as the information was as__ a lightning bolt hit her !
"It...it can"t be !"
"It is....and then that man king Snape came to us and presented the marriage proposal of Ashton.....believe me Saavi I didn"t knew that I was going to replace the original princess Helena__you !"
"Sso....so all these people ....what they"re referring to me is true !"
"Yes it is.....and what you believe that your husband Ashton killed my father is wrong.....it was a wrong timing when you came. It was Snape that killed him. You"ve to believe in me Helena he loves you. He is your Mr. Perfect. There was a time you knew and loved him."
"Hmm....okey I belive that he isn"t a murderer. But I didn"t knew him before."
"No, you did. When on the basis of a misunderstanding king Drakos erased your memory regarding Ashton. As you"re suppressing your magic abilities and he thought of you as a human."
"So that day master Valos was trying to revive those !"
She held her face into both hands.
Thinking of every moment and every word by which she hurt all of them.
Lucia came close to her and hugged her tight. Saavi in response gave her a smile.
"Thank you."

Ashton opened his eyes wide in amazement.
"Wwha what.....say that again !"
"I love you !"
Saavi wrapped her hands around his neck when he held her by waist.
"How did it happen ?"
Ashton frowned with a tender smile.
"Well I got to know everything."
"Oh yeah !"
"Yeah"
Saavi batted her eyes and smiled.
"So...? Am I accepted as husband ?"
"Yes you"re "
She replied giggling.
"Haha...well should I ask master to revive your memories in case you"ll knew everything."
"Uumm.....no !"
"Why so ?"
"What if ....I"d some bad ones, I mean if I was ....you hurt me ....I don"t want to remember those. Let"s start again as strangers !"
"Ohk okey as you say your highness !"
Ashton knelt with his one knee down and in proposing style with a deep eye contact he confessed.
"I love you dearly Saavi and Helena __both !"
"Who are you Mr. Stranger ?"
Saavi teased him.
"Prince Ashton at your service your highness !"
He bowed obediently.
And they both giggled when happiness hugged them both.
