Unwanted TREASURE

The next morning Sydney and the queen had morning tea in the garden
Queen: the situation outside is not as bad as we thought, everybody things it is unconfirmed rumor
Sydney: I can't be glad or happy about it I have let the women down
Queen: you have to get rid of the guilt in order to face the women
Sydney: I'll try but it is not easy
Queen: Did you have a conversation with Richard yesterday?
Sydney: no I didn't I'll try my best to do it today
Queen: you two need to talk
Sydney: mother may I ask
Queen: go ahead
Sydney: did they let Prince Kim go?
Queen: no,you are worried about him?
Sydney: yes I am but not because I have feelings for him I love my husband (the queen was shocked and excited)
Queen: you love Richard?
Sydney: I think I do, maybe they are just good feelings I'm not sure
Queen: this is amazing. (Richard walked by. He said good morning to the queen and continued with his journey )
Sydney: I'm scared that we are back to the start with our relationship
Queen: don't loose hope yet my girl (after tea Sydney went back to her room )
Richard returned from his daily duty and Sydney went to meet him
Sydney: Hey can we talk?
Richard: I'm not ready for this conversation right now let's do this in the evening
Sydney: sure, I'll take my leave then (He doesn't reply and she walks out)

Juliana: You are back early?
Sydney: he says he is not ready for the conversation
Juliana: that's understandable, he might still need time to calm down
Sydney: I really want to know how Prince kim is holding up
Juliana: don't make any suspicious movement right now
Sydney: can I help me?
Juliana; it's risky
Sydney: please
Juliana: I'm doing this because we are friends not because we are boss and servant
Sydney: thank you
Juliana: what do you want me to do
(Sydney gives her the information and she carefully goes to him)
Sydney: thank God you are back I was so anxious I couldn't even breathe. What did he say
Juliana: go and bring me juice first (Sydney eyes her) I'm kidding he says he is fine and you don't have to worry about him
Sydney: thank you (in the evening, Harry went to Sydney's room)
Harry: Hey
Juliana: hey
Harry: This is where you are all hiding
Sydney: it's the only place where I'm not judged
Juliana: How is the situation in town
Harry: it is not as bad as expected you don't have to stress. Have you spoken to Richard
Sydney: He says he is not ready for the conversation
Harry: I'm sorry to say this I'm not trying to burden you but he is suffering. He is afraid of his own fears
Juliana: how come
Harry: when he was young he went through a situation that he feared would happen and when it did, he was broken and since then he has been afraid of his fears he suffers whenever they are confirmed and that is also the reason he lost his mind yesterday
Sydney: what do I do
Harry: I'll try helping him overcome it and convince him to have this conversation
Sydney: thank you so much I don't know what I would do without you
Harry: you don't have to thank me just give me your girl
Sydney: take her
Juliana: are you going to really sell me cheaply like that?
Sydney: it's not cheap it is a life time benefit for us all
Harry: mostly me(walking out)
Sydney: He is falling for you
Juliana: I'm afraid so
Sydney: it's a good thing

Harry goes into Richard's chambers
Harry: Good afternoon
Richard: good afternoon
Harry: How are you
Richard: I'm fine, I should play along? Why are you being formal with me
Harry: Have you spoken to Sydney?
Richard: no I'm not ready
Harry: when do you think you will be ready
Richard: I don't know
Harry: what exactly are you fearing
Richard: everything she is going to say
Harry; but sooner or later you will have to hear what she says why not do it now and get it over with
Richard: I want to do that but I can't bring myself to
Harry: trust me she won't be saying anything that will hurt you
Richard: how can you be so sure
Harry: I'm sure of it just hear her out
Richard: fine I'll do so but not today tomorrow
Harry: that will do thank you

Richard that evening was joined by Harry and the king, they took Prince Kim with them to his kingdom. The two kingdoms sat and discussed the situation Prince Kim was very hurt to let go of his garden. Richard and Kim had a conversation when the meeting was over
Kim: you won this time around
Richard: I did
Kim: Don't be over joyed if you don't take care of her I'll take her from you
Richard: you don't have to worry about us worry about your kingdom it is not in a good shape
Kim: I won't be taking advice from a man who can't even take care of his wife
Richard: congratulations then
Kim: watch your back I'm onto you
Richard: it won't be necessary since you won't be seeing my wife ever again
Kim: pray upon that, you see her everyday but I have seen more of her than you have that's how bad of a husband you are. Did you know that I can draw her with my eyes closed
Richard: have a nice life Kim (he walks out)

Juliana: where will you be sleeping tonight
Sydney: I'll sleep in my room he probably doesn't want to sleep next to me
Juliana: do you want company ? I can stay here
Sydney: no thank you you have to rest I'll be okay on my own
Juliana: sure then I'll leave you to it
As Juliana was walking out, she met the queen who came to check on Sydney before returning to her room. The boys returned and they all went straight to their separate rooms.
