I stepped back a few steps and wiped my tears and looked at him and said quietly after bowing to him lightly out of respect for him:
"Is there something, Your Majesty?"
King Max looked at me and said:
"I am sorry for what happened today..I know that you do not want to marry me, but this is for your own good really...we are forced to marry only for two years at most...this is only for your life as you know and the life of your royal family..."
I looked at him in surprise and took a step towards him and said in surprise:
"My life? The life of my family?...what do you mean?.."
I noticed King Max frowning slightly and said:
"Don't you really know?.....The Carlontast wizards, they are..."
And suddenly, King Max's father interrupted his speech, saying firmly and with a slight frown:
"King Max!"
King Max turned to him and bowed to him lightly and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty.."
My father said to him:
"Please come inside, there is something I need to talk to you about..."
So King Max and my father went inside, and I sat down again on the fountain and said to myself in surprise:
"The Carlontast wizards?...who are they?..."
The days passed quickly, and with the passing of each day, I was thinking about the topic that took place between me and King Max, and after that day on which my marriage to the king was announced, we did not meet again literally!
I also noticed some strange behavior on my family, as they tightened the security on me in a sudden way, and literally even when I sleep, there were two or four maids with me in the room guarding me all night!!...in fact, this was a little annoying...

On the wedding day:
I was outside the palace with the royal family and all the people of high standing, and also even the citizens of our kingdom and some of the citizens of King Max's kingdom came to attend their king's wedding!..and the place was literally crowded with people!...
I was sitting on the royal chair while the king's chair next to me was empty, as King Max had not yet come!
And after a few minutes, King Max came and the clergyman came with him, so I stood up from the chair and Max and I stood in front of the clergyman and we signed the marriage contract, so everyone around us cheered happily after we were announced as husband and wife now, and I looked at everyone around me with a forced smile...I was waiting for when this would end so that Max and I could be alone and talk to him about that topic and about those wizards!...
In the evening of this day:
I had finally arrived at King Max's kingdom after the continuous and tiring journey, there were many people in front of his palace looking at us and smiling at us happily and welcoming us while I did not know any of them until I heard Max say to me gently:
"Patrice, this is the head maid, Maslina, she is 60 years old and she is like my mother...."
I looked at that woman in front of me, old age was evident in the features of her cheerful, kind and peaceful face, so I smiled at her gently and bowed to her lightly and kindly and said to her gently:
"It was an honor to meet you, Mrs. Marselina.."
And suddenly and without warning, that woman hugged me gently and said with great tenderness and kindness while patting my back lightly and gently:
"You have illuminated this palace, my dear....we are happy to have you, I hope you like the place here...if you need anything, you can come to me and tell me....what a nice girl you are..."
She moved away from me quietly and smiled at me gently and said:
"Thank you, madam..I am also happy to meet you.."
Time passed and we talked together a little, then Max and I went up to the room to meet him and I said:
"Can you tell me what is happening?..."
Max looked at me in surprise and said:
"About what?"
I frowned slightly and said with a pout and grumbling:
"The Carlontast wizards...who are they?....and what is the connection between my life and the life of my family?....I want to know everything now!"
Carlos was silent for a few seconds before speaking again and said quietly:
"Forget about that matter...it is not important for you to know it..."
I frowned sharply and said to him sharply and angrily, as he had really provoked me!:
"What?...are you kidding me, Max!...I am not kidding you about that, tell me everything now!"
