1113 Words
The prince took princess Les towards the palace garden and she sat under a tree.
The prince knelt down next to her and brought out a glass box container that was meant for keeping finger rings.
The princess couldn't believe what she saw. It was all sudden and she didn't expect it. It made her wonder how much the prince loved her.
"To show my unending love for you, I present this to you." The prince said as he presented the ring to the princess. "Les, will you be my Bride?"
The princess was overwhelmed with Joy and excitement and without any hesitation, she received the ring and said 'Yes' to the prince.
The prince carried her and gave her an affectionate and romantic kiss.
Several musicians came out of hiding and the maids brought a gigantic cake and place it on the table. Drinks and snacks were also brought to the table.
And it made the princess happy than ever. They had a toast and soon, they both danced while the musicians played their music.
The prince placed his face at the same level as Les's own and said to her;
"You are my Moon, Les."
And they kissed.

At night, at the seventh Chief's house. It was all dark and only the moon could be seen shining brightly in the sky, and the little glow of light from the seventh Chief's room
The seventh Chief was busy writing down some things inside a book. Just as he was writing, a knock was heard on the door and the chief's servant came in.
"Master, her Royal Majesty, Princess Les is here to see you." the man said.
"Tell her to come in." The Spade's leader ordered and Les immediately came inside.
She bowed in respect for her leader and the man signified for her to sit.
She sat down and the man gave her the book he was writing, to her to have a view.
"This book contains everything about the Spade family, our wealth, our families, our rights, our properties, our land, our people, our friends, our foes and everything you could ever want to know about the Spade family.
"Why are you giving me this, I'm not a man." Les asked confusingly.
"Just keep it with you. It is safer with you than with me... And,.. promise me that you will protect the book with your life?" The man asked.
"If that's what you want, I surely will protect it with my own life. I promise you that." Les promised.
Soon after, she left the seventh Chief's house and headed back into the palace. But, on their way, Les came across some men on horses and they happened to be the guards of the second chief, Kim.
They stopped and Princess Les's Chariot stopped too.
They payed respect to the princess but they didn't leave without inquiring where the princess was coming from in the dark.
The princess knew that there was only one house located at the direction she was coming from. And that was the seventh Chief's house. She had no reason to lie, so she said the truth that she was coming from the seventh Chief's house.
The guards said nothing and the princess ordered her servants and guards to keep moving. The Second leader's guards started moving towards the direction where the princess had came from
Princess Les was wondering what the guards are going to do in the seventh Chief's house but because it is a common thing for different Chief guards to visit the other Chief's house, Les didn't think of it too much.
They got to the palace and princess Les kept the book she received from the seventh Chief
in a safe place that can't be easily found.

"Father, what are we going to do? I want to become a queen but that silly princess is getting on my way. Father do something about it, I must be a princess." The second chief's daughter said. The second chief and his daughter were presently outside in their compound. It was still dark in the night.
"Don't worry my daughter, I got it all under my control. I will make sure Les regrets Her action. But for now, sleep well because tomorrow, your dream shall become true." the second chief assured his daughter and she went inside the house.
A few seconds later, Some men came to meet the second Chief. They were all Six in numbers, and they all are wearing the same clothes.
"Chief." They all bowed. "Princess Les is seen coming from the seventh Chief's house but we don't know what she went to do in his house." One of the men explained.
"Is that true?" The second leader asked as a look of anger was on his face.
"Yes Chief." they answered.
"I hope she didn't see you?" The second chief asked.
"That's the problem. She saw us and when we ask her where she was coming from, she only said that she was coming from the seventh Chief's house." they answered.
"You shouldn't have asked her that question. You should have asked her what she went to do." The second chief corrected them.
"We're sorry Chief." They replied.
"Okay, no problem. I will fix that point. So, how are the men? Are they all there?? We need to move tonight." The second chief asked.
"Yes Chief. They are all stationed at his house." they answered.
"What about the chiefs? Have you informed them about the whole plan?" he asked.
"We've informed them sir and they concluded the time to be ten on Dot."
"That's good. I can't wait for this." The second Chief said excitedly.
The men went away as they left only the Second Chief outside.
' I need to do something before that time. ' The second chief thought as he head into the palace with a hood on. The guards saw him but after bribing them all, they allowed him inside the palace and lead him to the Queen's quarter.
' This place will soon be mine. After I deal with all these idiots, I will come for the king and the prince.' he thought as he saw the throne room of the king.
He knocked at the Queen's room and the queen who had been expecting him allowed him inside.
He explained the plans they have made and discussed what was going to happen tonight. After saying all this, the Queen was so happy that she insisted for the second chief to stay for a while, which he did. But after some minutes, the second chief left to carry out the night's plan.
