Love and War
The Emperor of Jeda was a proud and stubborn man who valued his kingdom above all else. He had a beautiful daughter named Zara, who was the apple of his eye. Zara was kind and gentle, unlike her father, and she had a secret love for the Prince of Dulu, a neighboring kingdom.
The Prince of Dulu, whose name was Rami, was also in love with Zara, and he wanted to marry her. He sent a messenger to the Emperor of Jeda, asking for his permission to wed his daughter. The messenger brought with him a letter and a gift of gold and jewels, hoping to impress the Emperor.
However, the Emperor of Jeda was not impressed. He hated the Prince of Dulu, who he considered a weak and unworthy ruler. He also feared that if he gave his daughter to the Prince, he would lose his influence and power over his own kingdom. He refused to grant his permission, and he sent the messenger back with a harsh reply.
The Prince of Dulu was heartbroken and angry when he received the Emperor’s response. He felt that he had been insulted and humiliated by the Emperor, and he vowed to take revenge. He gathered his army and prepared to wage war against Jeda.
Zara learned of her father’s decision and her lover’s plan, and she was terrified. She tried to persuade her father to change his mind, but he would not listen. He told her that she had to obey him, and that he would find her a suitable husband from his own kingdom. He locked her in her room, and ordered his guards to watch over her.
Zara was desperate, and she decided to escape. She wrote a letter to Rami, telling him that she loved him and that she wanted to be with him. She tied the letter to a dove, and threw it out of her window. She hoped that the dove would find its way to Rami, and that he would come to rescue her.
The dove flew across the sky, and reached the camp of the Prince of Dulu. Rami was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and he read it with tears in his eyes. He felt a surge of hope and courage, and he decided to act. He mounted his horse, and rode towards the palace of Jeda, alone.
He reached the palace at night, and he used his skills and stealth to sneak past the guards. He climbed the wall, and found Zara’s window. He saw her sleeping on her bed, and he whispered her name. She woke up, and saw him. She gasped, and ran to embrace him. They kissed, and declared their love for each other.
They decided to flee together, and they climbed down the wall. They reached the gate, and they saw a horse waiting for them. It was Rami’s horse, and he had left it there for them. They mounted the horse, and galloped away.
The next morning, the Emperor of Jeda discovered that his daughter was gone. He was furious, and he ordered his army to pursue them. He swore that he would capture them, and punish them for their betrayal.
The army of Jeda chased the lovers, and they soon caught up with them. They surrounded them, and they prepared to attack. Rami and Zara were outnumbered and outmatched, but they did not give up. They fought bravely, and they defended each other.
However, their resistance was futile. They were wounded and exhausted, and they fell to the ground. They held each other’s hands, and looked into each other’s eyes. They said their final words, and they died together.
The Emperor of Jeda arrived at the scene, and he saw the bodies of his daughter and the Prince. He was shocked and saddened, and he realized his mistake. He had caused the death of his daughter, and the war between the two kingdoms. He had lost everything he cared about, and he had gained nothing. He regretted his pride and stubbornness, and he wished he could undo what he had done.
He ordered his army to stop the war, and he sent a message to the King of Dulu, asking for peace. He buried his daughter and the Prince in the same grave, and he erected a monument for them. He named it the Tomb of Love, and he hoped that their souls would find peace and happiness in the afterlife.
