Marcus was now living alone after her parents have died on different circumstances. Since he was clueless why did his father the former King of the Kingdom didn't allow him to go back to the Kingdom where they came from. He was curious to find out the main reason for his parents preventing him to show up on the Kingdom of Kalkuta.

Out of his curiosity he decided to travel and find out how did the place looks like. On the breaking of dawn marcos have decided to start journey, we bring with him all the things that he need for battles, his swords, bow and arrow for hunting. He was a great man who is being instilled with his parents teachings to become a responsible man. Even if his father wasn't a good ruler but he never influenced his son to be like him.

Marcus was a determined person, willing to help, strong and brave to catch different wild animals in the forest.

On his way to the Kingdom, he heard a sound of a screaming lady from the woods, he ran through it and he silently observed what's happening around him.

When he saw a lady that is being frightened by a lion who is about to eat her alive. Marcus take his bow and pointed it to the lion head, while the lady didn't saw her, when the beast was about to jump on her face, he released the bow and the lion fall down on the ground, the lady was shocked and she couldn't believed that she was safe.

"Thank you", the lady said, because she couldn't see anyone around her, while Marcus was hiding on a big tree. She turned back and ride on her horse, it runs so fast and Marcus was left behind. He run towards the top of the mountain and he saw the stunning beauty of the Kingdom.

He is thinking on how did he can get inside the Kingdom in just a very easy way. Then, at the back of his mind, he was thinking to use the lady so that he can get in. Marcus have waited that the lady will return to the forest,he stayed on the top of a big tree where he can saw the Kingdom from afar.

On the next day, the lady comes out from the gate of the kingdom, and she is still riding her white horse, while Marcus was getting ready from the top.

After a few minutes, "she screamed so loud and the horse ran away from her, because she was trap and is being hanged on a big tree."

The knight and shining armor suddenly appeared "hey lady what are you doing up there?"

"Stop asking, just help me come down".

"Oh, your so rude in your words", how should I'm gonna help you? "

" Okay, if you will help me, I'm gonna give a piece of gold, and my horse".

"Hahahhahahah, that's not enough, that's too poor offer."

"What, you are arrogant? You don't have nothing and you reject my offer?"

"Yes, I don't have nothing, but I'm the only one who can help you, later this day, the lions will arrived and they gonna tear you into pieces and all your flesh and your bones will be chop as grains, you will be blooded and die."

"OH no, is it true?"

"Yeah, do I look I'm joking!"

"So, what do you want, I will give you, just tell me".

"I want you to take me to your Kingdom, help me to get inside without any hussle", and I will help you".

"No, that's too dangerous, you are not a part of us, we are not in the same tribes, how can I do that?"

"well, it's not my problem, anyway!"

Let me think first, okay, I have no choice for now, but later I'm gonna escape from him(she's talking to herself).

"Okay, it's a deal!, Now c'mon help me go down.

" That's too easy, Marcus have cut off the rope from the tree and the lady fell down on the ground".

"Ouch, why didn't you get me?"

"We don't have a deal about that."

Yeah, right, but you should have been a gentlemen.

"Some day, maybe, (while making a fake smile).

" Wait a minute, come over here! "

" Why?, what do you want me to do? "

" Give me your hand. "

And why should I will give you?

" Just to make sure you will not run away,okay!".

The lady have attempt to run but Marcus was holding his hair, and she step back.

Marcus tied the lady's hand, and put him on the horse back.

"The king will kill you if they gonna see me like this."

"I will set you free when we are getting closer to the gate".

It was already sunset when they start walking back to the kingdom, they are still in the midst of the forest while it's so dark around. The lady was afraid of the dark, that's why she didn't talk to Marcus but she is in tremble, when suddenly there is a sound of a roaring wolf that screams, and they saw a bright eyes that come over with them.

Marcus was getting ready, he let the lady to stand on his back, while he was preparing his things for battle. The wolf have attacked them and Marcus did fight with the animals and he kill them all just like nothing happened to him.

"The lady was so impressed with the young man, but she just smile in secret because she don't want to show it, because she's pretending to be mad at him."

"Di you see that?"

"See what?"

"My skills".

"It's just very common in our Kingdom".

"Really, wow, I'd like to joined with them too".

"In your dreams".

"What?"

"Na-nothing,said the lady.

The lady and Marcus have take a rest for awhile, because they felt thirsty and they can't find any water on the forest. They just stay under a big tree, while the lady fell asleep lying on Marcus lap, but she didn't know it, it's just Marcus who placed her there.

But, the lady suddenly woke up, and he rise up and stay away from Marcus lap.

"Why did you want to go to the kingdom?".

"It's not your business!".

Seriously, I was asking this, because its too dangerous. The people in the Kingdom is now suffering because of the Ruler who become rude just like the pasts kings. He treats everyone as his slave, and they don't want them to live like an ordinary people, but they want the people to work and work all day, so that the kingdom will have a lot of profit. Some of them are sick, others are dying, but they are still not free to find help,they rely need help,the lady said.

"Who are you, and what are you doing outside the kingdom?".

"I am the King's daughter, I escape from the palace to find peace and relax, and see the beautiful world outside unlike with our life inside. Even if I am the daughter of the King, but I'm not happy with what he is doing. I just want the people to be free and be happy.

So, your not like your father? Marcus said

yes I'm not and I don't want him to continue what his doing.,the lady replied.

"That's perfect, so, are we friends now?"

"I'm gonna think of that a little bit harder",the lady said, while she chuckles.

"Just take it slow okay, co'z you don't deserve to think hard, because it can cause you head ache, it can make you ugly,Marcus said.

" Am I beautiful? ".

" I'm gonna think about that too! ".

" Are you serious? "

" No, I'm not? ".

Marcus and the lady have talked all night, they not even serious in their conversations, but I think they are already friends.

On the next morning, they have started to travel, and Marcus have already removed the rope on the lady's hand. She was riding on the horse while Marcus was following her.

After a long walk for how many hours, they stop for a while because they gonna be coming in at the gates.

Marcus have to find clothes for a lady so that he won't be noticed by the guards of the gate. The lady helped him to find dress in the villages home, a distant away from the kingdom. (the villagers are the people whose family members, especially men was being killed by Marcus fathers a long time ago).

The lady helped her to looked like a King, and he also wear a makeup so that she will look beautiful. She's looks so fine on her pink dress and she has put a cloth on his head. Marcus take off his armor and placed it, on a place hidden on the pile of woods.

"Open the gate, the lady shouted."

The guards open the gate, "welcome, princess".

The lady holds Marcus hand while the guards of the Kingdom was looking at her and they have raised their swords in honoring the princess arrival.

Marcus have finally enter into to the kingdom and he felt glad, that it seems he can't explain with how did he feels, he "he belongs there, in his kingdom.

To be continued.....

Authors notes:

There's no place like home, the Kings homecoming was the happiest moment of his life after a long years of living in a wild.

Life is full of surprises and u expected people that we met along the way, we may not know, it's our destiny or the one we long for a long time.

Just enjoy the ride of life, live while we live.

Thank you readers.
