Once upon a time... -part 5 d



The fair was month long affair. People had gathered around many stalls. These stalls catered the interests of various people.  Princess Adele was awe of people of the town. They seemed so happy with little things unlike her. 

She looked into each and every stall. The town merchants had so much to offer- dresses, jewels, precious stones and craft works pleased her eyes. The smell of homemade food served by the women of the town tempted her. The laughter of children playing and chasing each other made her smile. A group of dancers dancing to the old folk song attracted few people with their beats and movements. This made her join them in their dance. 

Maxim simply looked at the transformation of soft spoken princess into fun spirited girl. He was mesmerized to see her so happy and excited. He wanted her to be always cheerful.

Everything was seemingly perfect. They were having time of their life. They played games like cross bow target shoot where they got three chances to shoot arrow on target. However Princess Adele won the challenge while Maxim deliberately lost it. 

The fun distracted their mind away from time. More than two hours were passed. At the palace, the news of princess’s disappearance had spread to Queen Candice. “ Where is my daughter? How could you be so careless in your duty? I hereby dismiss you from your service.” Queen Candice said furiously. 

“Queen Candice, I have given orders to the our topmost guards. They are on their way to look out princess.” Commander in chief said. “ I hope she is fine wherever she is. Oh lord! Please bring her back to me.” she prayed.
