Shot - 1
" My lady please have some mercy on us please don't take us to king he'll kill us" a man along with his wife pleaded zoya, lady zoya the best warrior Eutopia Kingdom whose life was based on only two things those were rules and laws of the Kingdom. Her whole life she's been taught that rules and laws are something that makes a person there's no one above them except the king. That's why they keep the King's words above everything. the whole Eutopia is known for these two and their best warriors only. And zoya is the best of bests she's like right hand of the king and for zoya King's words are like laws which she has to follow anyhow.
" U people dared to break the rules of Eutopia now u want me to betray the king . Now since u have dared to do this get ready to face the consequences " No one dares to break the rules of Eutopia and if anyone does he or she will have to face the wrath of the king and his warriors.
" We were wrong to think that in amidst of these heartless warriors you have got a heart. But you proved that you too are the same. What's our fault that we dared to love and get married is loving someone a sin . "
The woman shouted on zoya hoping against the hope that somewhere there's some mercy left in heart of the lady who once happened to be her friend. Yes it was true the lady was zoya's friend Anysia. They both have joined Eutopia's army together but later on Anysia fell in love and wanted to get married with Helius a senior warrior of Eutopia. When she told about it to zoya she warned her that it's against the laws of Eutopia. No female warrior is allowed to get married in Eutopia That's why many women didn't wanted to join Eutopia's army . But to make Eutopia's army more strong they need more and more warriors so it became a rule that every first child of each and every family of Eutopia will have army. Zoya and Anysia both were single child of their parents both were taught from childhood that one day they have to be a warrior , how they can be a good warrior and what importance rules and laws have in a warrior's life. But Anysia dared to break the rules , when zoya warned her she decided that she'll try to forget Helius but as time passed by she found it difficult and after about 1 and a half year of the incident they decided to get married without telling anyone about it. Zoya got to know about their marriage after 2 years of their marriage when she found out that Anysia was pregnant. No matter how much she wanted to help her but she knows she can't Anysia and Helius has broken the laws now they'll have to face consequences she can't spare anyone who has broken the laws of Eutopia even if it's her friend, laws are same for everyone
"We warriors don't have heart even if it is then it's not meant for emotions maybe you forgot it too just like you forgot Eutopia's laws. And yes to love someone is a sin for us because it's against the laws"
She hissed at her friend trying to sound as strong as she could but only she knew how miserable she was feeling from inside. But that's what a life of warrior is many a times they have to colour their hands with the blood of their own people.
"Take them to the king court " she ordered the guards.
They took them to the King's court. She bowed down in front of the king and said...
" My lord as per your orders I have brought the culprits here they have broken the laws of Eutopia by getting married "
" No one is allowed to break the laws of Eutopia but since you two have done it already so you should be punished. Commander zoya till now only these two have dared to break my rules. Tomorrow, seeing them many others can so make sure no one sees them ever again I am giving task to you. Hopefully you'll not disappoint me" With King's words the small string of hope broke everyone clearly knew what king meant , he has directly or indirectly ordered zoya to kill them with her own hands.
" Never in my dreams My lord "
With her last sentence she along with some guards and Anysia and Helius left from there to outskirts of the Kingdom. She brought them to a valley which was also known as death valley. It was situated at the border of Eutopia Kingdom, this was the place where every culprit was brought to be killed by throwing them from the heights of mountains.
" You people leave from here I can handle them alone . Besides I want to have some last words with my ex friend "
She ordered the guards leave from there , got down from her horse and went to Anysia and Helius. She freed them from the ties that had bounded their hands and removed the tape from their mouth.
" Run as fast as you can don't even dare to look back cuz it won't take me a long time to change my decision by seeing your face. You two are culprits but this child isn't I am saving you for sake of this child law doesn't permits us to take an innocent's life" A ray of hope lightened their faces it seemed that her words gave them a new life.
"I knew you aren't as heartless as you declare to be zoya. I knew you are different from them. Thank you zoya for the life that you have gave thank you " Thanking her they left from there whilst she didn't said even a word why she did that she herself doesn't know. She was telling herself that she did it cuz the child was innocent but she knows that this wasn't the only reason she somewhere felt Anysia and Helius were innocent too loving someone wasn't a sin . But thinking about this was wrong for her she can't think about the the thing called love.
"So finally lady zoya has decided to break laws for her friend's sake" Suddenly a manly voice came from her behind breaking her chain of thoughts.
" I haven't broke any laws Prince asad, laws doesn't permits us to take an innocent's life and that's why I have let them go besides the king asked me to make sure that no one sees them ever again and since they aren't even in this Kingdom so it would be nearly impossible to see them ever again "
" smart answer as expected from you but is that how you are going to explain yourself to the king don't judge me I am not going to tell him anything I thought you'd "
" I...I haven't thought about it I thought I have already followed his orders so ..."
" So he doesn't needs to know anything about it well that's true I too don't think he does besides it's not wrong to manipulate few laws for some times"
This was Prince Asad another gem of Eutopia he was wisest and the best warrior of Eutopia even better than zoya in some aspects . Eldest but step son of the king the only reason of King's hatred towards him. They i.e the king and him weren't even in talking terms they only talked during the wars to plan their war strategies. Asad always hated Eutopia's laws and King's ways of ruling over people he always called it dictatorship which was correct too but no one has ever dared to raise their voice against the king except him. He was taught by his father the former king that a true ruler is like a father to his people and a father never dictates his kids. So he always did what according to him was right even if that meant to break the laws he didn't mind that today too he came here to save Anysia and Helius but what he saw amazed him and gave some hope that since zoya has dared to manipulate King's law for her friend then she may dare to break it for them i.e him and her.
After a long uncomfortable silence he decided to break the ice
"U decided to manipulate the laws for ur friend can't you break it for us " he asked her but it sounded like he was pleading to her
"There's no us" she tried stay determined and strong but evertime he makes it difficult for her
"Are you telling that to me or yourself zoya no matter how much you deny it from outside but from inside you very well know that there's us , you too love me just the I love you. Stop fighting with yourself zoya stop punishing yourself and me ."
" This is wrong prince I think you've highly mistaken I don't have any feelings for you except for respect. And having such feelings for a warrior is a sin especially for a prince you should stop feeling anything like that "
Hearing this he got frustrated from the first day since she has stepped inside the palace he had fell for her hard with each passing day his feelings has grew stronger . He knew she too has same feelings cuz her eyes and her caring nature for him always said him what she never did. Last year when he confessed his love she had clearly denied him saying it's against the laws from that day he's been hoping that someday she'll cross this boundaries of rules and laws for him and today his hope grew up and there was no backing now.
" oh so you don't love me is it "he said coming closer to.
"Yes" she said in a determined voice but took a step behind
" then why are you taking steps backwards are you afraid that you'll give in to your heart if you come closer to to me" He again said taking steps forward while she stopped in her tracks not wanting to give any hints to him about her feelings. He came more closer to her leaving a distance of just few inches . She closed her eyes afraid that he could see through her eyes that what effect he's having on her. He again moved a bit forward so that their bodies were almost touching each other and cupped her face . She gasped at his touch this is for the first time he has touched her.
"Does my coming closer to you and touching you doesn't affect you " he whispered in her ears
" N...no" she somehow replied
"Lie ... you're lying, till when you are going to lie to both of us " he said distancing away from her
" Till my last breath ... why don't you understand prince this is wrong you are a prince I m a warrior we aren't meant to be it's against the laws "
" you and your laws I m fed up with this zoya does they mean more than our happiness "
" Even more than my life this is what makes me. No one is above the laws Prince not me not even you . Forget me prince you deserve someone much better than me a beautiful princess who can love you back"
" I don't need anyone except you if it's not you then there can't be anyone else " Saying so he turned away from her hopped on his horse and left from there.
She wiped the lone tear that escaped from her eyes why life's testing her doesn't she deserves happiness like every other girl. She can never tell asad what she feels for him. She somehow dared to love him but never dared to accept it. After a while she too left from there.
Later that night there was hustle bustle in the whole palace it was King's birthday today, he has thrown a big party for that every official along with the Kings of other Kingdoms were invited. Zoya was also invited. She was in no mood to attend the party but she can't deny the king.
The whole castle was decorated with lights and flowers. Party has started guests too have arrived only she hasn't arrived yet he was waiting for her he has found a way for them it's risky and he knows she'll never agree for that but it's the only way he can get her and he can go to any extent just to be with her. His thoughts were broken by a gush of wind and then he knew she's here he turned towards the entrance to have a look at her. She was looking devine in that peach colour gown he had always known that she's a devine beauty but never imagined her to be this much it's the first time she's wore such kind of dress otherwise she was always in her warrior outfits. Just then somehow his eyes fell on the guests who were eyeing her with lust to say he was jealous would be an understatement. Somehow he controlled himself and went towards her to ask her for a dance which she accepted much to his relief. After morning encounter this was first time they were this close with his hands on her waist and hers on his shoulder they were moving in a perfect sync with the soft music. The feeling of having her in his was devine he wanted to enjoy every bit of it. There was a comfortable silence and none of them wanted to break it they just wanted to enjoy each other's presence but a lot has to be said a lot has to be heard maybe it's the last time they were this close to each other or maybe it's just the start of their further closeness.
" have you heard about the poetry of the sun and the earth prince " he was quite a bit shocked for the first time they were having a normal conversation other than laws and rules so she other things too except them.
" No but I would love to hear it from you" he said still moving on the beat of music
"Apparently the earth thinks of the possibilities of coming closer to the sun but she sees is only destruction. And his brilliance is so high and she is so base that she can never reach him"
He should have known that only this would be coming this is she accepted his dance offer she wants him to understand that they have no future but why can't she understand that he can't even think of his future without her.
" Don't u think it's upto the sun to decide whether she wants to be with her or not "
" he has a higher calling prince he has answer higher gods"
" what if he is ready to fight each of them for her"
"If the earth has a bit of sense of responsibility in her she'd never let him do that "
Damn it this woman is hell stubborn.
" so what should the sun do just keep watching the earth from distance and die a slow death everyday "
" No they can have another kind relationship of friendship and companionship but anything more than that is against the laws and against her wish"
Saying so she moved away from him to leave but he held her wrist to stop her. He moved closer to her and whispered in her ears.
" But in my case sun has decided that he wants to be with earth and he will burn only till earth is with him"
She turned to face him only to see a determined expression on his face which somewhere was breaking her confidence. She got afraid if she stays here for some more time she'll break her resolve
"The moment he becomes the sun he loses the right to decide for whom he's going to burn he has to burn to each and every planet of the solar system . Now let me go prince we both know that our conversation will take us to nowhere. "
" Well then here case is different zoya I am not the sun I m not the one who'll die burn his whole life watching his beloved from distance neither I'll let you do that.
You're afraid that your resolve will break if you stay here for more time aren't you. "
" I m not afraid cuz no one can break my resolve and whether you accept it or not we can never together. I am bound to the throne for my whole life and no one can free me from it. These rules and laws are my life and they'll never allow us to be together. Forget me prince it's better for you "
" Who gave you the right to decide what's better for me and what's not. I have decided that if I am going to have a future then it's with you otherwise not. For that even if I'll have to fight from my own people I will"
" What do you mean????"
" I mean I am going fight for the throne if this game of throne is the only way to make you mine then I m going to win it"
" No you aren't going to do that and anyways you're going to be the king you're eldest son of the king "
" Correction step son you really think that king will make me his hier. The person who killed my father manipulated my mom to marry him for the throne would make me his hier when he has his own son no ways zoya. Now even mom isn't in this world . Just because of our seven subkingdoms I m allowed to stay in this palace otherwise he'd have thrown me and ayaan out of our own palace. The only way I can have the throne is by war which is going to happen soon." To say that she was shocked would be an she always used to think that even though the king and asad have not father son kind of relationship but he was a noble man but never in her dreams she had thought that he was such a cunning man. She felt disgusted that she was serving such a man. But it's her duty she has to fulfill it at any cost.
"You'll have to face me then as I told you I m bound to the throne and you can't have the throne till the king is alive and till I m here I won't let you harm the king. To reach you'll have to kill me first tell me can you do that"
He dragged her out of the party hall to the garden and cornered her behind a tree. He then held her arms tightly making her wince.
"You know I'll kill myself before even thinking anything like that. Why do you always have to come in my way zoya "
"I can't help it prince I m bound to the throne it's my duty to protect it and its ascendor. Now you have to decide what do you want and trust me if you become the king I'll be the happiest even if I have to my lose my life in your war cuz it's my belief that you'll become a great king."
He didn't know what to say either way he was the who was going to lose. If he strikes the war he'll have to kill zoya with his own hands cuz she won't leave the King's side and fight him with all her might to save him and if he didn't he'll lose zoya and his Kingdom both . Confused he released her from his grip, seeking the opportunity she too left from there.
