Wish Fulfilled

in The Ink Well3 years ago (edited)

One night, while flying, the fairy queen passed through the roof of a king's palace on a moonlit night. They saw a prince sleeping soundly on his rooftop. When the queen of the fairies saw the prince, she felt she should take him with her. She thought she should take him away silently, but she had no experience of the earth, so he did not do so.

She kept looking at the prince for a long time. Her companion fairies sensed this condition in their queen and jokingly said, "Queen, one should not be enticed by the man of earth." Let's go back. But if you like this man so much, we will bring you back here later."

The fairy queen smiled. She said, "Okay, let's go. But this man seems to have captivated my mind and has cast a spell on me."

Hearing this, all the fairies burst into laughter and returned to fairyland, praising their queen.

When the prince woke up in the morning, there was a great freshness in his body. He wondered if he would be able to reach the top of the fairyland or cross the ocean in one leap. Then his chief server came and informed him that the condition of the king was very bad and he was breathing his last. The prince's happiness vanished. He reached there immediately.

The king opened his eyes and, placing his hand on the prince's head, said, "Prince, you should follow the chief minister's suggestion to run this kingdom. Consider him like your father. You always take care of their words."

Saying this, the king's eyes closed forever. The prince burst into tears. The whole city mourned the death of the king. The prince had now become a king and, according to the orders of his father, he did not do any work without the advice of the minister.

One day, the chief minister took the prince to see all the rooms of the palace. He showed him all the rooms but did not show him one room. The prince insisted a lot, but the minister would not agree. The minister's son was also with them at that time. He was a great friend of the prince. He said, "Father, the palace, the kingdom, and the gardens all belong to the new king. Why did you stop him from entering this room?

The minister said, "Son, you are right. Everything belongs to him, but at the time of his death, the late king had ordered me not to take the prince into this room. He will feel very bad if I do this. Actually, the picture of the girl on the wall will attract the prince to the girl whom he saw in his dream and asked the stars to fulfill his desire to marry her."

The son of the minister thought for a while. Then he said, "But father, now the prince is our king. It is important for all of us to obey him. If you take so much care of the king's words, then the prince is now our new king, so follow the words of our new king and open the door and let him in. If our late king sees the prince unhappy, our late king will not find peace in heaven. "

The minister thought for a while and put the key in his son's hand. Opening the lock, all three went inside. The room was very spacious. A number of expensive chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling, and velvet rugs were laid on the floor. There were pictures of beautiful women on the wall. Suddenly, the prince's gaze fell on the picture of a very beautiful young woman.

He asked the minister, "Whose picture is this, I think I know her?"

That was the reason the minister did not want to open that room. The minister was right and feared, that this would happen if he allowed him to enter that room. But now he had no choice but to tell him that she was the princess of fairy land. The prince was so fascinated by her beauty that he immediately told the minister, "I will marry this princess of fairy land." I will not go to court until I marry this fairy princess."
