"Sarai! Sarai! Sarai!" The crowd was cheering her name. Sarai walked out onto the balcony. Being forced to wear a dress, she grimaced. Sarai looked over everyone all happy. Inside, her heart was broken.

"Your new Queen, Sarai!" The announcers announced. Sarai smiled a small smile, turned and went back inside. Once she was inside, a single tear fell down her face and she fell to her knees, sobbing with her face in her hands.

"Don't cry, Queen." One of the maids came over.

"Don't call me Queen. Tell everyone not to call me Queen. I just want to be called Sarai." The Queen said over her sobs. The maid instantly left.

Sarai looked up. On the wall in front of her was her beloved.

"Jakey," Sarai called out his name, "I can't be Queen. I don't want to. Why." Sarai started crying again.

"Sari, don't cry." Sarai looked up at the voice. He smiled and held out his hand. In front of her was someone she was dying to see. Jakey.
