*****************************
Zen enters the discussion chamber as the guards salute him . Nobody were allowed to enter accept for his uncle, the former king and himself . Zen had baffling thoughts looking at them .
”What's the matter uncle ? What did you want to discuss with me ? We could postpone it for tomorrow too. You should be resting now . Shouldn't you ?”
”How could I ? After looking at a taboo do you think I would set myself at ease ? Impossible !”
” I'm not sure what you are saying”
”Oh Ofcourse you do . Zen you are the ruler of this kingdom I agree but there are things you must consider when you call yourself a ruler . Have you forgotten all that has happened in the past ? Have you lost your mind ? Has everything disappeared from your memory ? Are you deliberately ignoring the fact that red is a symbol of destruction to our family . You have witnessed it with your own eyes !!! How can you ....?”
”Enough uncle ! ” Rajhi's voice raised and hit the ceilings . Zen furrowed and shut him down .
”I haven't forgotten anything . I remember every single damn thing but what you are saying is just a superstition besides you Do not know Alisha so please stay out of this ..”
”Are you implying I'm not supposed to indulge in the royal matters ? ”
”You have all rights Rajhi . You have a point but that girl is not ordinary . Zen is marrying her because there was no other way to keep her with us . Any other method would represent us negatively . We would lose trust in our people . ”
”Elder brother ! I can't believe you are with his decision . The colour red brings bad luck to us . She would never bring happiness . I understand she saved your life but that could be a part of her evil self why aren't you able to understand? Zen is naive he ...”
” I'm not naive uncle and Alisha is not evil either ! I respect you wholeheartedly so please don't give me a reason to hate you . What happened in the past was due to our sole mistake the colour has nothing to do with it . ”
”What are you ..? Huh... Elder brother you are wise enough . Why don't you explain him ”
” Rajhi ... Zen trusted us in our plans everytime . He never questioned us . It's our turn now ..Let's put our trust in him . ” He says placing his hand in his shoulder .
”Fine then but if at all she poses a threat I'll eliminate her and you won't stop me from doing that Zen”
”I assure you she won't . ” Rajhi couldn't respond to Zen's confident look . He wasn't the only one unhappy with Alisha . The general , the noble secretary and his paternal aunt were all uncertain of his decision . In such circumstances how is Zen going to protect Alisha ...?
