Sapphire and Turquoise part 3
In the Nara Kingdom, the prince along with his companions showed Sapphire to his parents. The queen stood up and walked around Sapphire checking her out.
"This young lady, I accept her" the Queen proudly said but looks so coldly over Sapphire as if not really wanting her while the King just looked over Sapphire as if she is nothing and asked for his son to come closer "Son are you sure about her? I sense something that isn't right. It seems that she is hiding something, let us say… her real nature?" the king whispered
"I think I'm sure about this" the prince said. And so the King suddenly stood up and held up his hands asking for his future daughter in law's hands "May you take care of my son's hand" Sapphire just nodded and smiled.
Before the wedding the prince thought and thought if he really is sure about this, and so he went over Sapphires fitting room for her wedding gown and saw the exact opposite of what he imagine of what she is. Sapphire was nagging the tailor for the color isn't purely white and that wanting something that makes the color of her eyes pop. She doesn't even want her feet to touch the ground as she ordered some of the servants to carry her until the tailor comes back with a luxurious shoes. The prince seeing this was truly disappointed and wanted to break off the wedding but by doing this it would only break his mother's and father's hopes of him the most lazy prince in the land to be able to marry at last. And so he went back into his chambers and asks his coach Asuma to come and play chess with him.
"So, you're wavering huh? You are not sure about the woman you are about to be wed."
"How can you tell?"
"Well you can't even strike my weak spot, thus making you lose the game"
The prince then looked over the chess board and was shock as his coach was right.
"When the heart is undecided, you cannot choose, am I right?"
The prince then smiled and said check mate "My mind has now decided, I will still marry her but if someone stops our wedding then the wedding is off, I am betting on that 5% chance"
"I see, betting over your freedom that's a good plan, we just have to hope for someone to stop the wedding."
As the night passed the day of the wedding arrived
Their wedding was held with great show and splendor. But Sapphire's wicked step-mother was also bidden to the feast. When she had arrayed herself in beautiful clothes she went before the looking-glass, and said,
"Looking-glass, looking-glass, on thy hand,
Who in this land is the fairest of all?"
The glass answered,
"Oh, my Lady, of all here the fairest art thou,
But a soon to be young queen is fairer by far as I trow."
Then the wicked woman uttered a curse, and was so wretched, so utterly wretched that she knew not what to do. At first she would not go to the wedding at all, but she had no peace, and had to go to see the soon to be young queen. And when she went in she recognized Sapphire, and she stood still with rage and fear, and could not stir. As the Prince and the future young queen was about to say their, I do's. Turquoise stood up and smiled.
"Sapphire, I didn't know that you, of all people would become the prince's bride."
"Turquoise? What are you doing here?"
"Do you know her? Sapphire?" the prince asked
"She is my wicked step sister; she has tried to kill me for so many times, she was very envious of my beauty that she only wants herself to be the fairest!" Sapphire accused
"Is that true, mysterious maiden?" the prince asked
"tsk tsk tsk, for a future prince to not know me is such a shame…" Turquoise mockingly said "I was invited in this wedding yes? For I am the count of your kingdom, am I right my King?" Turquoise then turned her head towards the King and the King nodded
"Oh, well then I am very sorry count, for I have been rude. And since Sapphire also revealed that you are in fact her sister then you are more welcome to this wedding" Said the prince as he bowed
"How could you? She tried to kill me and also the reason I was in fact inside that glassed coffin"
"Oh, do you have any proof of that matter?" Turquoise smiled an evil smile
"Yes!"
"Then show me your proof"
She then ordered someone to bring forth the assassin Sai
"Hmn, so you brought your ex boyfriend into the show"
"He is my witness, go on Sai, and tell everyone who she really is!"
"She is Sapphire's step sister who paid me to try and kill Sapphire and bring back her heart for dinner" the assassin said while the audience gasped for fear and disbelief
Turquoise looked at everyone with a smile on her face confidently "Yes, that is true, for I don't have regret of what I have done" then she looked deadly at Sapphires eyes "Now tell me, my dear sister, what is my motive for these crimes?"
"You were envious of me" Sapphire proudly said
"Oh, now that is where you are wrong my dear." Turquoise held up her fan and mockingly laughed
"I do not care for your looks or mine, I just want revenge! For your selfishness and your greed! You wretched step sister! Considering that I, not having the same blood as you loved you for who you are and you, even though mother didn't treat you good she still took you in and let you stay at our house, when your father suddenly died and disappear. You of all women should just die in despair not knowing how to be grateful in at least one bit! You didn't even know of the great fortune that mother had left us and instead blaming her for your misfortunes! You sick and filthy, social climber freak, a leach to all who is rich!"
"Arrest her! Make her wear hot iron shoes and let her dance till she drops dead!" Sapphire shouted at the guards but the guards wouldn't move and all of the crowds were whispering that made Sapphire kneel down in agony and shame "I, I have never looked at you as my real sister you were just like your wretched mother Turquoise! All proud and haughty! You were nothing but a stepping stone with you everyone notices me for my beauty as you are and would always be second in their eyes!" she looked dead in the eyes of Turquoise as if cursing her.
"Guards please escort the count out of the royal chapel"
"As you wish, young master" and so the guards escorted Turquoise while the prince took off the engagement ring and left it in front of Sapphire. Sapphire was in deep shock and took the ring off the ground and looked at the prince
"I do not wish to marry or love a woman such as yourself for I am greatly disappointed at you; I like you better when you were inside the glassed coffin." The prince plainly said as he placed both of his hands in his pockets and yawned while the King and Queen followed their son without a word towards Sapphire.
Sapphire then cried, she cried her eyes out as she grasps on the prince's engagement ring.
"Shhhh, don't cry anymore Sapphire, I am here. Let us go somewhere far away in where we both can leave peacefully" Sai said as Sapphire just looked at him in agreement as she can no longer take the gossips surrounding her in the kingdom.
Many days and nights had past ever since that faithful day. The Prince of the Nara Kingdom can't seem to forget about the blond girl with Turquoise eyes and would often dream about her. And so he called his three noble knights and told them that they must search for the former count of the kingdom. And so the group has searched long and wide without even a little rest until beyond the eight mountains there lays a beautiful palace that is rich with flowers and leaves and seemed to be deserted. He knocked over the great door but no one answered. And so he climbed by the tallest tower and went inside.
As he took on his first step on the tower he accidentally steps on pieces of glass on the ground completely smash by some reason. He took a closer look to the pieces of broken glass and saw that it was no ordinary glass; it was an unusual golden looking glass. As he walks on deeper inside the tower the halls began to get darker and darker by every step he takes. As the whole place was as dark as the night, he took out a small metal lighter to lighten up his way as he went on; he accidentally bumps on an unfamiliar thing onto the ground. The Prince then took a closer look at something that is blocking his way. His eyes widens as his jaws drops on the floor as he sees the former count, Turquoise, lifeless body on the floor he immediately carried the lifeless body and searches for the exit but couldn't find his way as the whole place was all too dark to see and so the Prince, having a little knowledge about first aid began to make his move just to save the body.
First he cut off the tightened laces on her dress so that she could breath but making it so only makes her half nude, but that really doesn't matter right now.
Second he began checking her pulse bet there wasn't, and then he began to get his cheeks a little closer to Turquoises face just to feel if she is still breathing and she was but weak.
Third he began doing CPR but nothing seems to happen and there wasn't any improvement.
The prince then felt that Turquoise's body begins to feel colder and colder as if dead and the only thing that the Prince can think of is to make some fire just so that she may felt the warm and to bring her back to life but as he searches for his silver lighter he couldn't find it and he began to remember dropping it at the middle of somewhere just to be able to carry Turquoise.
He doesn't know what to do anymore and Turquoises body began to become colder and colder in every minute. And so the prince sat down and began to use his thinking pose. He exhaled and inhaled deeply and softly, then after a minute or so he suddenly stands up and began undressing Turquoise and he did the same on him. After that he hugged Turquoise tightly. As he hugs Turquoise his warmth slowly transfers to Turquoise and so keeping her warm and alive.
After 3hours of hugging Turquoise's half dead body, Turquoise began to get warm and colorful as if back into her normal usual self. She slowly opens her eyes and suddenly see's the Prince asleep by her side still hugging her, nude in some way that she doesn't know and by looking at herself she is nude as well.
She smiled softly with a little tear on her eyes, as she closes her eyes she remembers of what happened 3 or 4 weeks ago.
~~~~~~o0o~~~~~~
After wrecking her step sister's marriage she found the urge to cry and to laugh at the same time. She left the kingdom and went home to her mansion at the back of the eight mountains hidden by the dark forest. There she lay on her room on the top floor of her tallest tower. She laughed a long laugh as if there was no tomorrow and cried as loud as her lungs could then she began sobbing all of a sudden. She palmed her forehead and began to cry more and more. Then she took the magic looking glass and ask it a question
"Looking glass, looking glass on thy hands,
Who is the saddest maiden of all?"
Then it answered
"Oh my Lady, there is a lot of maiden that is sad by now, but you are the saddest of all that I see"
And as the mysterious face on the looking glass disappeared she finally sees herself on the magic mirror and sees that she is, in her eyes the ugliest maiden in the land. And as she sees herself she thought to herself that she is in fact the most wretched and the most wicked for plotting and trying to kill her only step sister for only revenge, for only talking at her back for insulting her dead mother.
"Sapphire was right, mother really was cruel and it isn't really her fault for hating mother, mother was in fact cruel." Then she smiled
"Taking revenge on something that is very trivial really isn't my style; I am such a pathetic person. Smart but dumb at the same time. Being engulfed by rage and jealousy I have forgotten of who am I, maybe this is the payment from using the magic mirror and giving as such fortune to last for a life time."
Then she asked the mirror again
"Looking glass, looking glass on thy hands,
What shall happen if I shutter you to pieces?"
Then it answered
"My lady, then the magic shall be gone and so as your life for using I,
Thou shall pay the price of thy soul"
Hearing this only answered the mysteries about the mysterious looking glass. The magic looking glass was no other than a demons mirror using it would only engulfed the user with pure rage and jealousy but if you use it more often, then all the seven sins shall begin to engulfed the user thus not escaping the inevitable death of suffering greatly. The mirror not only brings good fortune but also brings bad luck in exchange as if selling your soul to the devil itself. And so Turquoise thought long and hard and so she took the mirror on her hands and smashed it to pieces so that the cycle of these heinous crime shall stop to exist. As the mirror was shuttered to pieces a small echoing voice surrounded her room
"Fair maiden, you had destroyed thy mirror thus sucking your life shall be the price. Day by day you shall become weaker and weaker till your body can no longer lift you and thy warmth shall be gone day by day and shall not be able to wake up for thou are dead." Then the echoing voice had vanished leaving the pieces of glass on the floor and slowly turns into pieces of golden glass.
Turquoise then suddenly felt weak and thirsty and so she went down to her tower and ask for water from her servants but then no one came, all of her servants cannot be found anywhere then she finds herself in the hallway all alone, then she began to feel cold as she shivers then her knees began to feel weak thus kneeling down on to the floor, her eyes began to feel heavy and so she then falls down as if unconscious and for many days her body was as if paralyzed as she can't move her body even a little and breathing became very hard for her. And so the day goes by and she hasn't moved an inch, her body became colder and colder drawing her life away. As she can no longer take it no more she then decided to give up thus shutting her eyes and waited till the day her soul is taken.
~~~~~o0o~~~~~~
Wake up, prince,
Wake up
Open your eyes
My prince
Wake up
The prince hearing such lovely voice then opens up his eyes and see's Turquoise the kingdom's former count, lying beside him covered with bed sheets
"You're finally awake" he smiled
"What are you doing here in my mansion?"
"I have been searching for you, for you are the only girl that I have set my eyes on."
"I'm sorry my prince but I'm afraid that you are mistaken for I am not as beautiful as my step sister as you think." Then Turquoise brings out a candle and lightens it up so that the light may enlighten Turquoise's face. Waiting for the disgust look on the prince's face
The prince then softly places his palm on Turquoise's face and slowly traces them with his fingers. Then he kissed her aggressively and intently making Turquoise's face blush and surprise at the same time. Then she pushed him away
"What about my sister Sapphire?"
"I have broken our marriage for I cannot marry someone that is leaving a lie"
"But, my prince, could you not see that I am an ugly and wicked step sister that had tried to kill her sister for many times? And has not ever been caught not once?"
"Then that only shows how smart you are, and I prefer brains over beauty, Turquoise"
Hearing this made her heart melt and only brought her happiness and life back.
And so the two spent three days inside the huge mansion doing nothing but sharing their warmth with each other.
And as the day had come for Turquoise to show herself to the kingdom she formerly worked for, while Turquoise is secretly having the baby inside her belly. The Queen and King didn't had a second thought to agree for the prince and Turquoise's wedding for Turquoise was in fact such a beautiful and cunning maiden. The two married each other happily not regretting a thing.
