The Wicked Royalty
[1]The beginning
Exactly five time the big bell ring..
Indicating the time is passed to be evening And the clock strikes five
The sky is brightly yellow and the horizon where the sun is setting is reddish in colour
Clouds are shining yellow and some are white as pure as cottons hanging in the vast sky
Slight breeze are flowing , frictioning through whatever came in their way
Fighting from every single molecule the air make their way to freedom, freedom to go anywhere they want but also soothing every being with their cool existence in their way
Birds are also chirping , in melodious rhythm or sometimes rainy rhythm
It was making the evening occasion even more enjoyable.
But...... the people sitting in a well known library were not able to enjoy this beautiful occasion.
There was something that was distracting their mind from being happy.
The library is well known and large.
It had many rooms which were used for different purposes.
One of the rooms was dedicated to reading stories to the public.
And for the past few days, an interesting story has caught everyone's attention, and people have been coming to listen to it for many days.
The story has now reached a certain point where the excitement and curiosity of the listeners has increased.
The story was based on a true incident, which is why people were more interested.
The author herself was narrating the story to promote her work
Turning the next page of the book, she continues further...
Mu's fiction ~ author
Prince Phuwin is deeply saddened to learn the truth; the person he trusted so much and loved the most has also turned out to be a part of this deception.
Mu's fiction ~ author
The family that gave him so much love, made him a part of the family, in the end it turns out that everything was a lie, everything was a pretense, only for their own benefit.
Mu's fiction ~ author
And even after knowing everything, he still cannot do anything because it is too late.
Mu's fiction ~ author
He can't even run away because some men are holding him down.
Mu's fiction ~ author
He cried, kept sobbing and with the same tearful eyes he looked at his life partner
Mu's fiction ~ author
It is so painful that it seems as if his legs have given up and there is very little life left in his body.
Mu's fiction ~ author
The pain surging through his heart was enough to make him weak and helpless. And after being betrayed like this by his own husband and his family he wanted his soul to leave his body and flew high above all this agony and forget everything to find intense peace. That's only he could wish right now....
After saying this much, the author closed the Book.
The listeners' frightened hearts and eager minds slowly began to calm down, but the question "What will happen next in the story?" never left their minds.
They wanted to hear more, but the author had only allotted an hour. This promotional method proved quite effective, as it was clear that curious listeners were eager to hear more and as soon as the book will hit the market they will end the stock within a week.
Now the crowd slowly started dispersing, everyone thanked the author as they left and wished her well for her upcoming book.
Author was also ready to pack her things when a girl spoke.
random girl
Can I have your book?
Mu's fiction ~ author
No, girl, this is the only book I have. It's the original one which I wrote myself. I can't give you
Mu's fiction ~ author
If you want this book, you will have to wait till next week, by that time many copies of it will have arrived in the market.
random girl
It won't take me long, I'll finish reading it within a week
Mu's fiction ~ author
You seem new, I haven't seen you before.
random girl
I have been coming here for two days only, this story is very exciting, so I want to read it completely as soon as possible.
Mu's fiction ~ author
Why? Are you feeling curious?
random girl
No, actually I have to be busy with my work till next week, that's why I am asking for it.
random girl
Don't worry I will be here every day so you can tell stories to your readers and I'll read the stories that I missed in the beginning.
Mu's fiction ~ author
Okay.....
After taking some personal information from the girl, Author gave her the book and also took a promise from her to visit daily or else she will be doomed.
The girl sits on the bed in her room with that book.

[2] The Proposal
The wheels of the car are rolling on the road
Due to less traffic, drivers were reaching their destinations without wasting time.
A skilled driver is also driving a royal car towards his owner's home having their beloved prince seated behind him.
Prince is happy because something special happened in college today which he wants to tell his parents.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
💭Smiling yet excited to reach home as soon as possible
Driver parks the car at the main door of the house and walks over to open door for Prince
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(Descend and walking inside while smiling )
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(He holds a certificate and a gold medal in his hand. )
Phuwin Tangsakuen
💭My parents will be very happy with me today knowing that my group's project was best in the class.
Prince Phuwin Tangsakuen
Age-20
Learning engineering and business department
Prince Phuwin comes from a royal family. The royal legacy of his great-grandfather and grandfather has been going on for years.
And now his father is the owner of this royal inheritance which will later belong to Phuwin
He is the only son of his parents
Apart from having family wealth, respect and fame, his parents also run other businesses.
He never had any shortage of wealth and fame. A driver (also bodyguard) be always with him all the time when he is out
Studying in a college where all wealthy families and Royal families children are allotted only. So not a hype for him to be a Prince there
Now Phuwin is also working hard with responsibility and dedication so that when the right time comes, he can take the reins on his shoulders.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(Reached the hall jumping with joy.)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(He calmed down after seeing some new and unknown faces. )
A couple was talking to his family, who fell silent on hearing his voice and started looking at him.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Sawadee Khrâp
(Hello Uncle Hello Aunty )
Mr Lertratkosum
Sawadee
(Hello son )
Mrs Lertratkosum
Sawadee
(Hello son )
Seeing Phuwin's beautiful face and smile, Mrs. Lertratkosum was mesmerized
Mrs Lertratkosum
She leaned over to her husband and said "He looks so cute" (loud enough so everyone could hear)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(He was confused as to what to do, but then his eyes met his mother's. )
Mrs Tangsakuen
(She signaled her son with her eyes to go to his room.)
Understanding the hint, Phuwin excused himself and walked up the stairs towards his room.
Mrs Lertratkosum
(smiled and continue)Mrs. and Mr. Tangsakuen
Mrs Lertratkosum
I am not putting any pressure on you both, but please consider my request.
Mrs Lertratkosum
If both of you say yes, then our biggest dilemma will be resolved.
Mrs Lertratkosum
Our son will be safe, it will be a great favor from you.
Mrs. and Mr. Tangsakuen looked at each other
Mr Tangsakuen
Look, we cannot say anything without our son's consent.
Mr Tangsakuen
And I don't think he'll agree either.
Mr Tangsakuen
So both of you should not expect anything from us without any reason, please.
They nodded and stand up to leave
Mr Lertratkosum
We are leaving then
Mrs Lertratkosum
But please don't waste too much time and let us know your decision.
Mrs Lertratkosum
We need help as soon as possible (she spoke in an emotional tone.)
Mr Lertratkosum
(He held her wife's shoulder to console her and walked out.)
There was a moment of solemn silence
After having dinner, The Tangsakuen family sat in the garden after little walk
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(Showed his award to his parents 😄)
Mr Tangsakuen
well done son (patted his head)
Mrs Tangsakuen
Very good (gives a cheeky hug)
Mr Tangsakuen
If you continue to work hard like this, you will soon be able to handle our business.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Haaw Dad, why are you in such a hurry to hand over all your business to me?
Mr Tangsakuen
I also want to relax and have fun with my friends.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
You do that anyway.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Or....Be clear that you want to spend more time alone with your wife.(wiggle eyebrows)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
But I am telling you that I am not going to share my property with anyone, hence no child should be born except me.
Mr Tangsakuen
you brat!
(let out a laugh)
Mrs Tangsakuen
(fighting with fingers ,lost in thoughts)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(noticed her)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
What's the matter, Mom? Are you thinking about something? Is there some problem?
the couple looked at each other
Mrs Tangsakuen
Son, that uncle and aunty who came in the evening
Mrs Tangsakuen
They are also from Royal family
Mrs Tangsakuen
And......
They made a proposal to us
There was a moment of silence when Phuwin heard the proposal.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
What?????
They want me to......
Phuwin Tangsakuen
....marry his son????
Mr Tangsakuen
We were equally surprised, son.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
But why???
Mrs Tangsakuen
They told that there is a curse on their son.
Mrs Tangsakuen
He may die before or after crossing the age of twenty-two.
Mrs Tangsakuen
If he marries someone who is born on a single digit date in the month of July and has royal blood, then his curse can be averted.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(don't know how to react)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
But...but why me??
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Couldn't they find anyone else to propose to?
Mr Tangsakuen
No, that's why he finally came to us after losing from everything
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Mom..Dad please (join hands)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Please refuse them, I refuse their offer.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
I am only twenty years old, and I am still studying, I want to focus on my career, not marriage.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
And why do they want to marry their son to a boy?
Phuwin Tangsakuen
When they also come from a royal family, shouldn't they expand their lineage?
Mrs Tangsakuen
they said that nothing is more precious to them than their son's life.
Mrs Tangsakuen
Therefore, they are frantically trying to adopt whatever solution they can find so that they do not lose their only heir.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
So... did you both agree to them? (feeling hopeless)
Mr Tangsakuen
Oh no no son, we don't want to take any decision against your wishes, so we postponed the proposal.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Well done.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Whatever it is...... I'm not going to get married
Phuwin Tangsakuen
And for the next 7-8 years I would like to just work, after that I will think about marriage.
Mrs Tangsakuen
I will tell them to try to find some other guy, you don't worry, go and sleep.
Mrs. and Mr. simultaneously kissed their beloved son on either sides of his forehead.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Good night Mom and dad
Mr Tangsakuen
Good night son
Mrs Tangsakuen
Good night son
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(He got up from among them and went towards his room.)
Mr Tangsakuen
(already in bed)
Mrs Tangsakuen
(took the phone in her hand and sit beside her husband)
Mrs Tangsakuen
(📞dialed Mrs Lertratkosum)
Call was received by other side but there's crying sound is coming from it
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞(worried) Hello Mrs Lertratkosum
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞What happen??
Mr Tangsakuen
(sat worriedly hearing the voices)
Mrs Lertratkosum

[3]The awkward meeting
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞What's wrong Mrs Lertratkosum??
(asked worriedly)
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞(sobbing continuously)
Mr Tangsakuen
What's wrong (whisper)
Mrs Tangsakuen
I don't know, she is crying only (also whispers)
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Mr Lertratkosum, please calm down
After a while the crying and sobbing were flushing down
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞Mr Tangsakuen..... What should I tell you now
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞My son's luck is not on his side at all.
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Why are you saying like this?
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞Today, our son might not have come home alive 🤧
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞His car met with an accident today.
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Oh my god, is he okay? (shocked and worried)
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞How the accident happened ?
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞A big vehicle hit our car, he has got an injury on his forehead.(hicupping)
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞If the driver had not been there, my son would not have survived today, the car is half damaged.
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Oh, so sorry to hear that.
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞I feel bad for your son
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞That's why I came to ask you for help.
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞What did your son say?
Mrs Tangsakuen
Aaa... He has expressed his disagreement and we do not want to force him in any way.
There was silence on both sides for some time.
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞(let out a breath before speaking )Mrs. Tangsakuen, Can I meet your son tomorrow?
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Mrs Lertratkosum, please, we don't want to...
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞I just want to talk to him, please
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞I will not force or brainwash him in any way.
Mrs Lertratkosum

Mrs Tangsakuen
📞We will ask him and tell you
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞Thank you
Mrs Lertratkosum
📞Good night
Mrs Tangsakuen
📞Good night
With the pleasant evening breeze and bright lights ...
Tangsakuen family is getting ready to visit somewhere
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(He is getting dressed by looking in the mirror.)
Mr and Mrs Tangsakuen's outfit
Mr Tangsakuen
I thought that since today is a weekend, we will spend time together.
Mr Tangsakuen
How did you get convince to go there?
Phuwin Tangsakuen
She was pleading so much that I thought I should go and see for myself what the matter actually was.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Is all that really a curse in the horoscope or just a coincidence?
After getting ready Phuwin looked at his mother.
Mrs Tangsakuen
(took his palms in her)
Mrs Tangsakuen
If Mrs Lertratkosum tries to provoke you or emotionally blackmail you, do not panic at all, do not take any decision under any influence.
Phuwin Tangsakuen
I understand Mom
The family had just got ready and left the house when they saw that the vehicle in which they were going to travel was not one they knew.
An unknown driver gets out of the car and greets them
Driver (Lert.... family)
Hello Sir Hello Madam
Driver (Lert.... family)
Hello Prince Phuwin
Driver (Lert.... family)
Mrs Lertratkosum has sent me to receive you all.
Driver (Lert.... family)
(said while opening the door )please sit inside
The Tangsakuen family could sense the uneasiness how anxious Mrs. Lertratkosum was to meet Phuwin
Without wasting time in thoughts, they got into the car.
The house was exactly as the family had imagined.
Mr Tangsakuen
Despite so much wealth and fame, what a misfortune this family has.
When the car stopped at the gate, two servants opened the door and welcomed the family.
The Tangsakuen family greeted them
Mr Lertratkosum
Welcome you all (greet them too)
Mrs Lertratkosum
welcome to my house (excitedly)
Mrs Lertratkosum
(took Phuwin's hand in her )I'm so glad you came
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Nice to meet you again Aunty
Mrs Lertratkosum
Oh! you are so soft to touch, come sit down.
(make him sit beside her)
Everyone sat on the hall's sofa and tea, savories and water were served one by one
Mr Tangsakuen
How is your son now?
Mr Lertratkosum
He is recovering
Mr Lertratkosum
He suffered injuries on his left forehead and elbow yesterday.
Mrs Lertratkosum
We were heartbroken when we heard about the accident and found him injured.
Mrs Tangsakuen
We feel bad for you,
Mrs Tangsakuen
I hope he gets well soon and this never happens to him again.
Mrs Lertratkosum
We also want the same but are helpless in the hands of fate, (she became emotional)
Mrs Tangsakuen
Please have some strength (console her)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
It could also be a coincidence ?
Phuwin Tangsakuen
Why are you so sure it was because of a curse??
Mrs Lertratkosum
Because this isn't the first time this has happened
Mrs Lertratkosum
(looked him with hopeful eyes)
That's why I wanted you to....
Suddenly an unknown voice catches everyone's attention
Prince Naravit Lertratkosum
Nickname:- Pond
Age:- 22
Studying engineering and business management
family belong to royalty from many generations
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
hello
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
I'm Naravit Lertratkosum, nice to meet you all
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
(joint his palms with one healthy and one fractured hand)
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
You can call me "Pond" also
Mrs Lertratkosum
(she immediately got up and held her son.) You should rest, why did you come down?
Mrs Lertratkosum
(Lead him toward sofa to sit)
Phuwin, and Pond's eyes met and they stared at each other for like ten seconds.
Both of them realized that those eyes were familiar. Many thoughts began to flow in both their minds. They probably wanted to say that they were not strangers to each other, but thought it's better to say nothing. At least now
while being drowned in thoughts, Pond's mother made him sit between herself and Phuwin
Their thighs touch and shoulders too
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(Suddenly, I was startled by being so close to Pond )
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
(feeling awkward too)
Mr Lertratkosum
Meet them, they are...
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
I know all of them.
Mr Lertratkosum
You know!! how??
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
Khun Phuwin (Mr Phuwin)and I study in the same university, and the class is also the same.
Mrs Lertratkosum
Wow! it's fantastic !
Mrs Lertratkosum
So you both already know each other.
Mrs Lertratkosum
So, if both of you have to...
Mr Lertratkosum
(got angry)
they had refused to marry already, still why are you trying to sway your interests?
Mr Lertratkosum directly addressed the issue. Everyone sitting in the hall was stunned.
Mrs Lertratkosum
(start sobbing)
Mr Lertratkosum
Just because they study together doesn't mean they know each other closely.
Mr Lertratkosum
Pond never mentioned Phuwin till date
Mr Lertratkosum
You have become so blinded by this horoscope thing that you no longer care about anyone's agreement or disagreement.
Mr Lertratkosum
You should stop thinking that you can get them to agree to your demands by inviting them here, giving them some respect, or feeding them.
Mr Lertratkosum
You are acting like a completely close minded person now😠
Mrs Lertratkosum
Yes, I've gone crazy 😭And I won't get peace until I find a cure for this curse.
Mrs Lertratkosum
Whatever I have to do.😭
Mr Tangsakuen
This means you want to convince our son by any means necessary. Whether my son wants it or not
Mrs Lertratkosum
I... you guys please understand my helplessness I don't want to lose my only son.
Mrs Lertratkosum
Mrs Tangsakuen, you tell me if your son also gets stuck in such a dilemma, will you sit idle?
Mr Lertratkosum
Stay quiet, don't provoke them.
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
(got up from his seat )
Both of you stop fighting!!
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
Where is the wisdom in inviting a guest home and having an argument infront of them?
A silence clouded for some time
Mr Lertratkosum
We are ashamed, sorry
Mrs Lertratkosum
(hicupping and sobbing)
Pond walked toward a corridor but halted in between
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
(without turning,he turned his head only and said..)
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
Phuwin
Phuwin Tangsakuen
(shocked)
Phuwin Tangsakuen
💭did he just called me
(unbelievably stared at him)
Pond Naravit (Naravit Lertratkosum)
Can I talk to you?
Phuwin Tangsakuen
