Rise Of The Trident

FLASHBACK:

(Before 15 years)

[Orien and Cicero were racing together. Both drove at high speed but at last Orien wonn]

Orien:

I told ya...

I'll win.

Cicero:

You took the short route.

You cheated!

Orien:

But I won!

[Cicero started to laugh happily seeing over Orien's laugh]

Cicero:

Hey!

Did you speak to her?

Orien:

Yeah

She is still mad at me

Cicero:

That's what happens after marriage.

Even for a king!

Orien:

Yeah.

I pissed off!

Cicero:

Elekra is a good girl. She'll definitely understand.

Orien:

Yeah!

I know it.

And so to convince her I've planned to give her a gift.

Cicero:

What gift?

Flowers or jewel or horses or...babies?

Orien:

What! Babies!!

Haha!!!

Hey having Egan is enough.

.....Cicero!

Shall I ask you something?

Cicero:

Go ahead.

Orien:

Both of our countries have been allies for many years.

Now I just thought of making our relationship stronger.

Cicero:

So what do you want me to do?

Orien:

I just thought of getting Egan married to your daughter.

Cicero:

It's great my friend.

I accept your proposal and I'm really very happy with your decision.

Orien:

Then promise me you'll get them married.

Cicero:

Why?

I accepted your proposal.

Orien:

Just promise me.

Cicero:

Ok ok!

I promise.

Why are asking for a promise?

Orien:

What if I don't get along?

Cicero:

What do you mean?

Orien:

What if I die before?

Cicero:

Dude, Just don't think like that.

Nothing will happen to you.

You will see our children getting married.

(holding Orien's hand)

I promise!

FLASHBACK ENDS...

[Looking at the couple from the palace...]

Cicero:

I promised my friend I will unite you both.

You both were meant to unite and I will save my promise at all cost.

EGAN'S ROOM:

Egan goes to his room and found Jerry waiting for him.

Jerry:

I guess my friend had a romantic time.

Egan:

Aye!

Now Shut up!

Jerry:

What's up, man?

Did you tell her?

Egan:

Tell what?

Jerry:

Your feelings.

Egan:

No.

We just spoke of past days.

And she asked me have I found my partner.

Jerry:

What did you say?

Egan:

I said no.

Jerry:

Oh god!

You should've told the truth.

You missed the opportunity.

Egan:

Leave it.

Jerry:

Did she have someone in heart?

Egan:

What?

Jerry:

Did you ask if she is in love at present?

Egan:

Why do I want to ask that?

Jerry:

So are you gonna force her to fall in love with you?

Egan:

No

Jerry:

So, get to know her.

Go closer to her.

Egan:

To get closer!

You're gonna kill me!

Jerry:

Oh man!

I told you to understand her.

Try to know how she feels for you.

(After some moments...)

Egan:

Do you really think she might be in love with someone?

Jerry:

Go and ask her.

How do I know?

Egan:

How am I gonna find it?

Jerry:

I'll tell you something.

[Jerry plots a plan and tells a way to Egan to find the truth....]

DELIA'S ROOM:

[Delia looks at the mirror sitting on a chair and thinks about her farewell to Leo. The room was so silent and she was able to hear only the sound of the breeze. The insect started to reduce the sound. No one was in her room. After some moments she heard a creaking sound....]

Delia:

Who is it?

[She stood up from her chair and walked towards the window. She noticed the window was opened.]

Delia:

I remember closing the window.

How did it open up?

[The room became more silent as she can feel someone behind her.]

A voice from behind:

Hello princess!

[Delia gets frightened and turns back and found Leo standing with a bunch of flowers in his hand...]

Delia:

LEO!!

What are you doing here?

[He knelt before her and....]

Leo:

Princess Delia, Daughter of King Cicero...

Will you marry me?

[Delia got surprised and with enormous joy and cheerful tears in her eyes...]

Delia:

YES!! YES!!!

(and both started to kiss so passionately)

What are you doing here Leo?

What if my Dad sees you?

Leo:

I'm not afraid of your Dad.

Not anymore.

Delia:

You have to go.

Leo:

I thought you'd be happy to see me.

Delia:

Of course, I'm happy my love!

But what if my Dad knows you're here.

Leo:

Are you afraid my love?

Delia:

How can't I be?

If something happens to you...

Then I won't forgive myself.

Leo:

Yeah! I know it.

But how can I live without seeing you?

Delia:

If my dad finds you're here he'd definitely kill you.

Leo:

Not only your Dad.

If it takes to fight the whole world to get to you,

I'd do that too.

Because you are my breath, my heartbeat...

You mean everything to me, Delia.

I can't spend a moment without you.

(holding her..) Don't leave me ever Delia.

Delia:

Do you think I will?

Leo:

No!

Delia:

I'm yours, Leo.

Can you imagine I will be happy without you?

Leo:

No.

Delia:

Then why do you doubt?

Leo:

I didn't doubt.

I'm afraid what if someone comes between us?

Delia:

Do you have any second thoughts?

Leo:

No!

I was telling if...

[Delia comes closer and shuts his mouth...]

Delia:

No one will come between us.

Let us prove this world we're born for each other.

Leo:

So what do we do?

Delia:

We'll unite tonight.

Leo:

What do you mean?

Delia:

You know what I mean.

Leo:

You want me to have s.e.x with you?

Delia:

Won't you?

Leo:

Why won't I?

You're mine.

(and kisses Delia deeply)

Leo:

Ouch! Your clothes stink me.

Delia:

Then take it off.

Leo:

What! Are you sure?

Delia:

You said I'm yours.

[Leo felt happy and started to kiss her more passionately. They both put themselves over a bed and...]

Delia:

You look nervous.

Leo:

No. Am I.

Delia:

Yeah.

Leo:

Because it's my first time.

Delia:

So you're a v.i.r.g.i.n.

Leo:

Not anymore

(and they had their beautiful night together)

THE NEXT MORNING...

[Delia wakes up opening her eyes against the powerful glare of the sun. Yet she opens her eyes and found Leo looking at her...]

Delia:

Good Morning! My love.

Leo:

You look beautiful today.

Delia:

It's because of you.

Leo:

Yesterday night was an amazing night, wasn't it?

Delia:

Yep!

Unforgettable, isn't it?

(Leo kisses her with a smile on his face)

[Birds were chirping outside the room on a tree near the window feeding it's little ones.]

Leo:

My darling!

Love is the most beautiful thing that God created.

No one can understand the power of love until they fall into it.

The world will always stand against it, as they stand against ours.

This is a path of roses covered with thorns.

Delia:

No power can defeat true love.

Because the gods will be there to unite them, and so they'll unite us too.

(and began to kiss)

[Suddenly Cicero knocks the door...]

Cicero:

Delia!

Are you awake?

[Both of them got afraid and tensed.]

Leo:

What are we gonna do?

Delia:

I don't know!

Cicero:

Delia...

Leo:

He's calling you.

Delia:

Put on your clothes and hide!

I'll manage him.

[Leo hides inside the closet and Delia opens the door.]

Cicero:

Daughter!

What were you doing?

Is everything alright?

Delia:

Yeah, dad!

I was taking a bath.

Cicero:

It's okay.

Get ready soon.

Delia:

Why?

Cicero:

Don't you know!

Egan is getting coronated today.

Delia:

Is it?

Cicero:

Yeah!

Get ready soon.

[Delia closes the door and..]

Delia:

Leo! You have to go now!

Leo:

Why now?

Let me stay for a moment longer.

Delia:

You heard my dad.

If someone spots you...

Leo:

No one will spot me, okay.

[Leo kisses Delia and climbs over the window turning back to Delia...]

Leo:

I'll meet you at sunset.

[And jumps off from the window and slides down to the next roof. He escaped from the sights of all the soldiers but not from Cicero's eyes. He spots Leo escaping from Delia's room and got much angrier. He thought to speak with Delia. So he summoned her to his chamber.]

AFTER SOME TIME...

[Delia comes to Cicero's chamber and...]

Delia:

Did you call me?

I have works to do for decoration.

Cicero:

You can decorate after you answer my question.

Delia:

What question?

[Egan opens the door and...]

Egan:

Uncle!

Did I disturb you?

Cicero:

No. Nothing!

Just some father-daughter talk.

Do you need any help?

Egan:

Ah! Yeah!

I'd like to speak to your daughter.

Cicero:

It's okay Egan.

Take her.

Delia! We'll speak later.

[Delia and Egan moves out and walks along together...]

Delia:

What's up my king?

Egan:

Hey.

Please don't call me king.

Delia:

Why?

Egan:

Even I become the king I want you to call me Egan.

Delia:

What would others think if I call you like that?

Egan:

That we're friends.

Delia:

They don't think we're friends.

They'll think we're more than friends.

Egan:

What do you mean?

Delia:

I said if I call you by name the people will think that you and I are in love.

[Egan felt dizzy for a second and...]

Egan:

What did you say?

Delia:

Are you in this world?

I said if I call you...

Egan:

Delia!

Delia:

What?

Egan:

I want to ask you something.

Delia:

You said the same yesterday.

What do you want to ask?

Egan:

That, are...are you...

Delia:

You're trying to ask me that am I a girl?

Egan:

NO!

I was about to ask are..are you loving someone?

[Delia thought for a second]

Delia:

Um. Why are you asking me this?

Egan:

No!

Just casual.

Delia:

Nope.

Not interested in love.

Egan:

Oh!

That sounds good.

Delia:

Why?

Egan:

Because it's difficult to find a girl who hates to love.

Delia:

Oh!

[Egan feels a little bit happy to know Delia is not into someone but she feels in her heart bad for lying to Egan. She didn't know that a small lie can bring a huge devastation. Egan's heart beats for her while she longs for Leo and he loves her too. What will happen to their relationsh.i.p.s?

Stay tuned for the next chapter....]
