" Didn't you ask what I will do if I have a secret admirer who loves me sincerely, check this out!"
After saying her piece of words, Rosa walked straight to the place where Galstorie was sitting in midst of red roses. Her peach colored dress swayed in the breeze and playing with her long hair , Rosa approached Galstorie with a warm smile on her face. When Galstorie saw this beautiful smile, he forgot even to breathe for the next few seconds. Subconsciously , he stood up and lifted his right hand towards her.
Watching their master finally showing up his courage to confess his feelings, all the youngsters were dumbstruck. Amongst them, the greatly shocked one was master Neshag, he didn't know what Rosa meant while she walked away but the sudden change in Galstorie made him believe the wording "power of beauty could even make a kingdom fall". Rosa needed only one smile to bewitch the powerful Galstorie.
Meanwhile, the hero of the scene came to his senses and was stumped seeing himself stretch his hand towards the woman he loved while she was straightly looking into his eyes. There was a question in her eyes tormenting Galstorie. He averted his gaze but his hand was shivering by now and before he could move his hand away, Rosa raised her left hand to clasp the hand in front of her.
This time Galstorie was stunned again, never in his wild dreams, must he have thought that the woman he loved would hold his hand like this. The clasped hands made the crowd go silent while Janet was looking at her mother enthusiastically.
" How is the feeling of being loved?"
Galstorie didn't hear anything till Rosa tickled his hand with her index finger. Like a fool, he nodded his head and warmth entered his cold heart. Never had anyone asked him this question, no one had ever loved him ever , so even a drop of love was enough for him. However, the woman in front of him, gave him an ocean of love with lots of surprises in it. He felt blessed, looking at their joined hands, he quickly pulled his woman to his embrace.
" Finally, my friend is showing his courage to confront his love."
Neshag sighed, afterall he felt the wind of loneliness hit him at last. He slowly closed his eyes to think about the only woman he had in his mind. In future, when he lay in her lap, taking his last breath, Neshag still showed his perfect smile to keep her happy.
The one-side love would end up one-sided only in his lifetime and Neshag knew it very well. His sacrifice would let the other couple live together for the rest of their lives. Well, all these would happen in the future, so not spoiling the suspense for now.
The youngsters were finally amused by the courage which Rosa showed to express her love. The concept of men confessing their love was shattered and now her action showed that women equally had the right to express their feelings to the opposite sex rather than being a tool for breeding the next generation.
Amongst them Janet was the happiest one, now that her mother could finally live a life which she wanted. Ofcourse, master Galstorie was far better than her father in terms of power and looks.Moreover, he would treat her mother like a queen.
"Why are you standing there till now, come and handle our guests. I am going to take your mother for a private meeting. You three, help my daughter out in handling the guests and dare to bully my daughters, I will make sure that next session is going to check not only your strengths as well as the determination to marry your love. Huh, I have to test these guys to the maximum as they want to become my son-in-laws."
Not only Jordan but the other four gentlemen also glared at Galstorie who now proudly took the position of Rosa's husband and in turn, he became a fatherly figure for their wives.
Watching Galstorie take away his wife along with the bunch of roses, the men watched to trip him off but just stood helplessly.
" How shameless can a guy become after he got the treasure while doing nothing." Leon complained while scratching his head.
" Not only is he shameless, look at his bossy attitude, does he think we all are his servants? Let me marry Janet, then I would like to see who flaunts his love the most! If I didn't fall for Janet, would he ever see his love?"
Jordan was equally pissed like others but compared to men, the ladies were so happy with the current situation. They all felt that Rosa deserved the best and Galstorie would be just the right match for her. They all were overwhelmed as Galstorie had referred to all of them as his daughters now.
" Now our family is complete." Juliet's statement put up a smile on each one's face.
Meanwhile, a woman was seen walking through a deserted forest alone. Although the forest was isolated for years, the woman confidently walked through the path covered with thorns and shrubs.
After walking quite a few miles, the woman reached the end of the forest which was actually the starting of a moorland.
" Just you wait Emmetina, what all is yours, will be mine shortly including your man."
Hatred flashed in her eyes, she smugly smiled to herself. Yes, the woman was none other than Talsha who had the soul of the sorceress inside her body. However, she was not powerful enough to defeat the regime of the enchantress yet as her power wasn't completely restored. For that purpose, she began her journey towards the Dark Palace where once stood her mighty domain but after the war, the enchantress showed her true self. She shut her own sister in the Dark world, making the palace a prison for sorceress and the rest of her people but little did she know that the man whom she considered as her brother was already captured by the sorceress and was kept inside the Dark Palace.
Walking on the moorland, Talsha felt anxious as according to the memory she had already reached the place but yet she could see, was only a stretch of plain land. She couldn't confirm whether it was the right path or not. Finally, she broke down and cried in desperation.
" Everytime I gave my 100 percent but still the luck favored her more, why did our creator always show a soft spot for her , how was I different from her? She is the sole reason why I was always second in line and she even snatched my love. I won't stop now, sorceress, help me out, with your last piece of soul."
Talsha screamed and her voice echoed across the vast moorland. For some time, only the sound of the strong wind was heard but then Talsha heard a faint voice in her mind. She wiped her tears and concentrated on the weak yet determined voice.
" This is the last ounce of help I can provide you, to weaken the enchantress, strike at her core where her heart lies."
Talsha noted the point but then she was confused even more, " But how can I defeat her without regaining my powers, how can I reopen the Dark Palace?"
The voice was getting lower and lower with seconds but still it gave Talsha the ultimate clue.
Soon the voice fainted away completely and Talsha had a deadly smile on her face. She remembered the last line which the voice had mentioned.
" To open the Dark Palace again, bring back the heir of the Zucathore clan to this land."
Talsha now had the perfect reason to snatch the man back from Emmettina. Without wasting any of her time, she started her journey to find the bits of help which can make way to her success.
On the other side, the grand celebration ended with the arrangement of a simple wedding for the couple and Jordan proved his efficiency again. He arranged the venue beautifully and all were set for the wedding within a few hours.
The three elders along with master Neshag blessed the new couple and the youngsters pulled Rosa out to the bridal chamber. Master Neshag was given the responsibility of making Galstorie drunk which was an easy task for the former.
After settling their prank, the youngsters stood outside the chamber secretly on how the groom would react after getting drunk. This plan was proposed by the men to get revenge as Galstorie had been eating their brains for past two weeks and now he was acting as their father-in-law.
Just as the sound of the groom's footsteps were heard, except for Alex, all faces fell gloomy. It was the total opposite of what they had expected.
" I had already warned you guys, not to believe that old fellow, he said it was easy to make this man drunk but now see… he is active as a horse and he won't make a fool of himself inside the chamber."
Mike was complaining to his mates who were also gritting their teeth due to plan failure. They all looked at Alex who had already predicted that Galstorie was not easy to be fooled and this night, especially, he will be extra careful to not to mess up things.
