Chapter 36 - 36

Int. School - Day- flashback

Dawn is all prepped up in school uniform, he tries to wake him up

Dawn: Get up, you are late. At this point you will bath with cold water

Wayne: (Placing a pillow on top of his head) I am not going to attend any class today

Dawn: Why? It's not like you have an option any way

Wayne: You have no ideas about how heart broken I am about that girl. She was my first love. I thought of killing myself but then I am a coward. I hate myself for it

Dawn: (laughs) Don't say I didn't warn you

Dawn exits the room and wait outside with the other students. The professor is doing a morning routine

Professor: Where is Wayne?

Dawn: He is still sleeping

Professor: This lazy bag of bones. I will make sure he doesn't graduate and repeat this year

He comes with a bucket of water and splashes it on the sleeping Wayne. There is chaos as he runs outside while the other students laugh at him

End of flashback

Dawn: Man! You surely are a funny person

Wayne: At least I learnt a lesson that day. Now look at I am stronger than I'll ever be (Leo faints)

Melanie: Quickly pick him. This is what happens when you become obsessed. He has reached his limit

Int. Palace- Dans Room- Day

It is early in the morning, she has taken a shower and she is brushing her hair

Ella: Who'd have thought that I would be married someday. I guess responsibilities have a way of finding someone

Int. Stella's room- Day- flashback

She just finished taking a bath. Her mom seats her in front of the mirror

Queen: Seat down, today I will do your hair

Ella: Mom! You do know I don't like tying my hair. But since you insists, I will listen to you

Queen: (Brushes her hair) You have grown up a lot. The more you grow the more responsibilities follow you. I want you to listen carefully to what I have to say to you

Ella: Oh no! The talk I have been trying to escape for a long time

Queen: You should marry a man who loves you a lot. Be respectful to him and listen

Ella: I believe it goes both ways. Respect should be earned and not commanded

Queen: True, but still women are having it hard that is why I want you to always be cautious, kind and never bring shame to your household

Ella: I don't care about other people's opinions. As long as it brings me peace I will do it

Queen: You surely are a stubborn one. At least I can be at ease knowing that nobody would ever dare to bully you. Done, look at how pretty you look

Ella: How I have these hairstyles. I want my hair to be free just like me

Queen: Stella! I love you

Ella: Ok

Queen: You are not going to say it back to me? Someday you will regret it

End of flashback

Ella: You are right, I am regretting it

Dan: I hope you are not regretting marrying me.

Ella: No, it's not like that. When did you get here

Dan: Breakfast is ready. Let's go

Dan is lovingly looking at her

Ella: You are starring

Dan: I am sorry I can't help it

Max: There is the lovely couple

King Lion: I hope you had a lovely night

Ella: Good morning your highness

Dan: This is Max, my best friend

Max: Lovely to meet you

Breakfast is being served

Maid: Ladies let's go. I can't wait to see the princess

Mary: That's right, we were too busy to see her yesterday

Eve: She is a lucky lady

Maid: Nice to meet you my lady

Ella: (smiles) The pleasure is all mine

She notices the other two and immediately look the other way. Eve notices her and let's go of the plates

Eve: How come you are here

Dan: Do you know her

Mary: No she does not. She is overwhelmed with joy. Please forgive her

Eve: Yes, her beauty is close to none

King Lion: Excuse her. This better not happen again

Int. Kitchen - Day

Mary pulls her close

Mary: What are you trying to do. Have you lost it

Eve: What do you mean, it was not my intention to break the dishes.

Mary: You nearly sold Ella out.

Eve: I didn't mean to, I was shocked because I thought I saw a ghost. We all thought everybody died

Mary: If she is alive it means that our son's are also out there alive. There is no way she would just show up here without a reason. Not the mischievous Ella that we all know

Eve: You are right, back then she refused to get married and she doesn't like to dress up or play princess

Mary: Finally there is hope. I can't wait to ask her about my little Dawn. He must be a big man by now

Eve: My Leo, he is a bookworm. He must be going through a lot with me or his father. We had him very late, he is a miracle we never thought we could have. He must be suffering out there

Mary: Seeing that she is here, it means there are others out there alive. Soon we will leave this cursed place. Now all you have to do is shut your mouth

Eve: It's a promise, nobody will ever know her true identity

Maid: What are you two whispering about

Mary: It's nothing, I was repremanding her for a waste of food and destroying the dishes

Maid: She is lucky to keep her head. Th king is a ruthless man. You got lucky because of the princess. Did you see her, she is a beauty

Mary: Dan is truly blessed. May they have a good life and be happy

Maid: Isn't that right, Dan is like my son. I watched him grow right before my eyes. I am happy for him
