*Third Person Pov*

KINGDOM – A Monarchy ruled by a King or Queen. In better words it is known as a Country, State or a territory ruled by a King or Queen. The meaning is really simple but what happens in real is not told in this single sentence.

Population of people in a kingdom is meant to increase by the passing time. This makes some scarcity to appear regarding the Non-Renewable sources. The major one is the land.

So to not suffer from scarcity of this the rulers extend their kingdoms by taking up the land near theirs to combine it with their kingdom.

But what if some other kingdom too does the same thing to reduce their scarcity that too with an eye on the same land? That’s when the war broke out. The Kingdom which wins gets the land along with the Kingdom they had defeated.

Problems will be solved but it is not that simple. One war doesn’t decide the fate of that land. So the wars go on and on until one of the Kingdoms accepts its defeat or if one of the Kingdoms loses all the rulers it has.

In between all this, what are actually lost are the lives of many people. Most of the people don’t mind that because these wars become a way to show their pride for the kingdom they live and its rulers.

But someone having the sight on the future brings out some way by which all these wars can be stopped and also the lives can be saved.

It is not again that simple when someone converts these wars which are done for the land into something through which they can gain their selfish wishes.

Keeping that one aside it is also a truth that for most of the rulers nothing is more important than to keep their head held high infront of their people.

This is the only pride for those rulers and for this they can sacrifice anything. And that anything includes their children too.

We all heard a very common truth that when a person don’t gets what he/she wants or something don’t go the way they wanted, they all search a person to throw the blame on them.

In here the same thing happens and that person who has been searched by all these people is none other than Melody, Princess of the Velimar Kingdom.

*Melody Pov*

I arise from my light sleep feeling some warmth on my face. Opening my eyes I saw that the warmth is from the sunrays entering the chamber as the blinds are opened.

The girl who opened them turned around and immediately shrieked. She composed herself and bowed to me making me shake my head smiling.

“Amy! For how many more days will you welcome me everyday with that shriek of yours?” I asked rising from my bed.

“Forgive me Princess!” She said trembling.

“She is not angry at you dear. She just wants you to adopt everything around you and not feel new everyday.” Agnes said entering my chamber with a warm smile on her face.

She has been my caretaker ever since I have born like a mother as my own mother released her last breath when she took me into her hands for the first time. That’s what I have been hearing all these zero and twenty years of my life.

Agnes is getting weak and I can tell glancing at her tired face. She fears for my well being so she searched all over the maids and found Amy for me.

Amy is sweet girl who is still at the stage of adopting the ways which goes in the royal family. She cooks delicious sweets and I have a pleasure of eating them almost everyday.

“Princess! I have an important matter to inform you.” Agnes said walking towards me.

“Call me by the name you gave me Agnes.” I said smiling.

“Melody! I have an important matter to inform you. Are you glad now?” She asked smiling.

“I am! Now tell me.” I said as we both walked towards the window in my chamber.

I looked outside and saw the whole Velimar Kingdom as my chamber is at the tall tower in the palace. I smiled feeling proud of the development happening in my Kingdom by not halting at any period of time.

“His highness is mile away from the Kingdom. I just got the news.” Agnes said merrily.

“Agnes! You are not jesting with me right?” I asked her frowning.

“No dear!” She replied shaking her head.

“I need to get dressed before Father reaches here.” I said and immediately turned around so that she can lose the strings which are unreachable for me of my Night wear.

Amy went inside the Bathing chamber and started running water for my bathe. I entered to see that she poured the rose petals and some bath oils.

I smiled at her and got inside the tub when she left. I bathed and then got out wrapping a robe around my body.

After getting dressed she braided my hair and we both walked outside my chamber to welcome my Father.

When I got there I saw that there are no royal horses of both my Father and also the head warriors.

“Agnes! Where is my Fath… His Highness?” I stopped myself from calling him with the relation I have with him looking at the people infront of us.

“The council immediately called for His Highness dear. So he went to meet them and you missed them just now.” Agnes replied smiling sadly.

“The victory was ours in the war this time.” She added but I didn’t have the triumph smile.

“Are you not happy Princess?” Amy asked fidgeting with her hands in whisper.

“How can I Amy? When I know that this victory must have cost the lives of both our people and also the people of the Hulind Kingdom.” I replied looking at the dead bodies being brought by the soldiers.

The cries which belong to their families started reaching my ears making my heart pain for the lost lives and their families. Why should these innocent families suffer like this everytime which doesn’t depend on whether we lose or win?

I shook my head and started looking into the arrangements to be prepared for the burial of all the dead warriors. They all are over by the time sun stayed above our heads.

In the evening I sat at the corridor present attached at the top of the palace and saw the celebration taking place infront of the Palace.

“When is the next war?” I asked my Father who is sitting beside me.

“After one month.” He replied.

“When this all will end?” I asked glancing at him.

“When the Rulers of Hulind Kingdom release their last breath or accept their defeat leaving that precious land alone.” He replied in monotone.

“But there are many people who are losing their lives. Can’t we stop it?” I asked him worried for my people.

“Princess! That is no way a Future Queen to talk like this.” He barked at me.

“Darling! She is childish so don’t stress yourself.” We both heard the most annoying voice.

I looked towards my right to see Candice sitting behind the transparent blind. She is my Dad’s mistress who was there with him even before I have born.

My heart goes for my Mother who had to bear this disrespect because everyone in the kingdom knows about Candice. She was the one who made sure that everyone knows about her.

She wants to become the Queen when my Mom left the world. But that can’t happen because I am the rightful Future Queen. Unless I die and then people want her to be their Queen she can’t.

“Princess! You are going to be the Queen of this Kingdom once you get the proper groom which is going to be soon. So you have to feel happy for our victory and pray for our future victory.” Father said in complete monotone.

“Forgive me Father!” that’s all I said. After few minutes I retired from the celebration we are looking at and went inside my chamber.

Amy loosened the strings and I got into my night wear after having a long bathe trying to remove the images of all the dead bodies which got buried today.

To remove the images of the families of those dead warriors who broke down infront of me. To remove the sounds of their cries which can never be reduced because they lost someone who cannot return.

This is want I have to do everytime they go for a war just for that land. Sometimes we lose and sometimes the Hulind Kingdom. But lives are lost both the time.

I lay on my bed drifting off into sleep wishing that there is something that can be done by which all these can be stopped completely….
