Prologue
SERGIO WROTE A LETTER IN THE FOREST:
Dear People,
I am just a man with sorrow. I never do anything wrong but I feel obsessed with the ones whom I love. Well, I might tell you something that I shouldn’t tell. Secrets untold, love never dies but now we have to suffer. Obsession of love is not worthy because there are dangers in the obsess love like killing one for the other, disturbing whom he/she loves but they do not love the obsessive lovers. I am ashamed of what have I done. I am trying to beg God for forgiveness but I do not know what is in my hand.
I never bear much abusive life, ever but I know what to do. I have to find my own way to get my love Maria back. I used to be a son of a merchant but my parents passed away. I was a part time bartender. Life was beautiful until someone came by. I was suspicious of him but my love who loved me more now loving the other. I have no worth of living because I realized what the meaning of love is. My trust is broken and I shall live until tomorrow.
Sincerely Yours
Sergio Devito
MARIA WROTE A LETTER IN A PIECE OF PAPER:
Dear Sergio,
I know what saddens you. I have to find you but in this birth, I have to marry him. I should not have done this. Well, I am feeling better writing to you. Will any one help us or no one? See, what I mean. I never break your trust even death approaches us. Love is a beauty of heaven and hatred is a devil’s paradise. I try for you, feel for you and love you but what love means is that if you do good things in life, if you never kill yourself, if you listen to the Guardian who does not believe in Devil and if you go to the right path you find out what love means. Your obsession is your real love and I know that you are not obsessed because, you are always sincere to your work and sacrifice whom you love. Do not poison yourself. Anyone could poison your mind but do not listen to it. HELP ME SERGIO HELP ME! If anyone slay us who will save us? God. If love wants us to die, who save us? God. Believe Him, His books, His messages, His great power, His angels and most of all worship Him.
No more today.
Your Love
Maria
Love is in birth by birth
Kills the hell, Finds the Heaven,
Find the love that you found before
Do not defy your true love.
Love is age by age
Help and try.
True love does have no bounds.
Writer’s Note:
Friends, it’s a story of long ago when France was ruled by King Louis VII. The timeless love of Sergio and Maria begins with an event but ends with an accident. It is based on 2007 article skeleton couples.
Chapter-1: Intruders
A handsome man named Sergio Devito took his horse carriage from the city. The horses from the carriage galloped through nowhere. There were trees and lakes all over his surroundings. When the horses galloped, Sergio suddenly stopped the carriage and saw that there were three packs of dangerous wolves sucking a man’s blood.
He took his torch and scared the wolves by torch fire. He saw the wounded man. “DROMIO!” Sergio cried. Sergio knelt down and pulled his body. Then Sergio took Dromio to the carriage seat and laid him to the comfortable seat. Sergio took the carriage and sped much that fortunately, he reached the city.
He was so tired but still energetic. He went to a precious cathedral called Notre Dame. He looked for the priest all over. Suddenly, he found a priest. “Excuse me, father” said Sergio. The priest said “Yes, my child, what can I do for you?” Sergio replied “My friend, had been sucked by the ‘devil’s’ blood. I threw the devil out because he was the devil’s hunt”. The priest was shocked and immediately took Dromio’s body to the bed. He bid bye to the priest and took his carriage. He reached the castle and saw the guards sleeping. “Bonjour!” Sergio cried. One of the guards woke up and opened the bridge gate. He took his carriage inside the castle gate and parked it in the courtyard.
He went to his cabin and saw a lot of fruit in the basket. Later on, he saw his parent’s portrait, reminisce the lonely days of his childhood. Then, he found a diary on the table and wrote it with a quill:
12th January, 1432
I am Sergio Devito, the heir of an aristocratic family. My parents passed away when I was twelve and a half years old. Do not know what to do? I say with sorrow that I never had a happy childhood until five friends came. We had fun with them. I smiled after such a long time, what is the value to live in a luxurious life as an aristocrat? We are people; we want to be simple commoners not living in a luxurious life. In phrase some people says that ‘a bachelor lives like a king but dies like a dog’. I do not know what our past and future will be?
I know there are no other gods except on true God. He is the creator of the universe. We never know why God send us for? Why He wanted us? Why we could not help ourselves that God will be happy? I heard it there was a last Prophet of this new religion and the messages are given by God himself. I am not an atheist, I have faith on God. Everyone never believed the traders from Abyssinia but they are true. I know who our Jesus is. Jesus is just a Prophet sent by God. He said in future he will come back again to kill a devil called Darjjal. (NO CONTROVERSY).
Sergio slept on his wooden bed after he wrote his diary.
Chapter 2: Roaming in the Mountains
Shiny sun rose in the morning and Sergio woke up. He ran swiftly after he saw the king’s men went towards the dinning hall. After that he went to the hall and sat with the king. He took roasted beef, eggs and Napolitano Pizza. Then he went to an empty dance ball room. He saw a bar in front of him, full of wines but he had a hatred relationship with wines. His profession was to sell it, not to drink it. He felt bored.
Later on, the king went out with his carriage, Sergio simultaneously went out. He walked out to the city and suddenly, he was pushed. When Sergio looked back, he saw a beautiful girl wore a red gown. Her hair was curly at the end and straight at the upper side. She had beautiful lips and green eyes. She smiled at Sergio and walked away.
Sergio walked in front, he saw a bar. He greeted his five friends. Two of them, smoking and three of them drinking beer. One of them was Dromio. He said “hey, mate, do you want to see the mountains? Please?” Sergio refused but everyone insisted him. After that when he agreed, he went outside the city along with his friends and roamed around the mountains, stole corns and cabbages from the farms.
Suddenly, the cold breeze flowed away while they sat on the hills. They were adventurous to know the beauty of nature. There were trees. The sun was about to set. Sergio hurriedly went to the city and suddenly saw a horse. He rode the horse quickly and reached the city. Evening was already set up.
The castle’s lights were on. He went inside just as the church bell rang. He was so tired that he went to the ball room. He saw the same girl who smiled at him sat on the bar. Suddenly, Dromio came and introduced the girl to Sergio as a business partner. Her name was Maria. She insisted Sergio to dance with her but Sergio was shy to deny it. His friends commented on him jokingly. She pleaded Sergio to dance. Sergio reminisces his childhood.
“When Sergio was a child, he danced with his short legged fat mother. When he started to dance, Sergio fell from the stairs along with his mother and the whole dinner was ruined. Everyone laughed at him”.
Sergio still refused. After Maria became upset, she sat on the bar again.
Chapter-3: Dancing in the Ball Room
When Maria looked at Sergio came near her, Sergio sighed “Want to dance with me?” Maria pretended to refuse. “Please, madam! I want to know how good you are as a dancer?” offered Sergio. Maria chuckled a bit and Maria took Sergio’s hand. Sergio put his hands on Maria’s waist and the other hand up to Maria’s hand. Maria put her hand to Sergio’s shoulder and other hand to Sergio’s hand. Sergio stood straight touched Maria’s body. They were round and round dancing.
After that Sergio put back one of his hands and Maria touched his fingers and turned round three times. When Maria was about to fall, Sergio grabbed her waist again. He stared at Maria’s green eyes. Both sighed a bit. Then both went to their cabin. For that Maria wrote her diary with his quill:
13th January 1432
Dear Diary,
I met my handsome partner whom I have looked for a long time. I searched for him. He might be the believer of God. God’s messenger, our Prophets: Adam, Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Jacob, Jesus and the last of all, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) gave as moral messages. He told us to worship Him, He guide us to straight path and He helps us in every way. We will never tell lies and never refuse to learn the truth.
My partner was funny and gets me rid of my dark past whom I could not bear. I am pleased with my partner. Now, what will happen in future? Thank you my Lord, You are grateful.
Meanwhile, Sergio smiled while laid on the bed. He loved the name Maria. He also thanked God.
Chapter 4: Day One to Day Four
Day-1
Sergio went to a sweet shop to buy some sweets made with cocoa beans. When he was asking the shopkeeper about the sweets, suddenly Maria ran swiftly near him unknowingly. She also wanted to take sweets from the shops. When Maria saw Sergio, he was surprised. “Can you do me a favor please? I don’t have coins to give it” said Maria. Sergio asked “how many sweets do you need?” Maria replied “any”. Maria took hundred sweets on five minutes that Sergio did not have enough coins to give. After that, they went to the castle and they had taken their lunch. Maria burps like a bird who whistles. Sergio laughed at that.
Day-2
Dromio went to Sergio’s cabin for help. But Maria hid in the walls and showed a red silk scarf. Sergio smelled the scarf. He ignored what Dromio was discussing about and went through the corridors of the castle. When he saw Maria was giggling he got angry and chased her. After that he smiled and chuckled when he reached the ball room.
Day-3
Sergio and Maria were appointed by the King to bring some milk from a miser farmer. They went outside the city with the carriage fast. After that, they went to the cornfield. After that, Sergio saw a windmill with blocks of bricks with white paint and two windows. They stole some cabbages. The farmer came and could not find them because they hid in the field. Suddenly, one of the bulls was running towards Sergio. The bull pushed Sergio to the mud yard where pigs used to play. The farmer came out and saw Sergio, full of mud. Then, the farmer laughed and showered him. Maria sweetly saw him sleeping. She took some milk secretly and cried. The farmer was worried when he came out. She lied that the milk was stolen. Then Maria took Sergio and she drove the carriage because she was experienced about that but she was reminisced about her childhood, riding a horse. She reached the city and woke Sergio up. Their mission was successful and the king offered rewards.
Day-4
They became friends. Sergio always praised her everywhere and Maria became crazy that she felt obsessed about him. They are now known as ‘Aristocratic Bar Couple’. The dance floor became a successful business. They dislike pork because God also forbid it. They also dislike wine but they had to sell it to the royal customers. They went out of the castle. When the rain had started to fall, they went to the carriage.
Chapter 5: Dark Past
Inside the carriage, they sat on two sides of the seats. Sergio said “these days, what happens, Maria? I have to tell you something”. Maria asked “what is it?” Sergio replied “I was born from an aristocratic family. My parents died at war when I was twelve years old. I am not a bartender but an aristocrat (wine merchant). My father was a wine merchant. He used to trade wines to other countries. I have a very hatred relationship with wines because wines can kill us. My relatives were used to be jealous because my parents were better richer than them. I always like simple life styles. But my life of loneliness changed when I found commoners as friends but when you came, I became more free and funny”. Maria said “I also have something to tell you. I was born from a farmer, the lower class. We had happiness and always fooled my father around. Suddenly, one of the guards of the previous king took my father for a sword duel with a new merchant. Later on, I got a letter. It said that my father died. I need your help Sergio because; I want to find a person who killed my father.”
Sergio was shocked and consoled Maria. “Have faith in God, Maria because you are named after Prophet Jesus’ mother Mary” said Sergio. “You are my family, forever and ever. I always respect women and I never tolerate if anyone tells something hurtful about women. Dromio is my best friend and I also sacrifice myself for them if there is a trouble”. Maria was shocked for knowing that he was also a believer of true God. The things happen in the past were shared and now they came out of the carriage after the rain stopped and storm begun. They went back to the castle and slept.
Chapter 6: Arrival of Delacroix
In the morning, Sergio went to the dock. He saw many ships from the other countries. Then a wooden, large, blue ship came slowly and stopped in the dock. The large ship door opened grandly. Many other aristocrats, merchants and king’s men came from the ship. He saw a man wore the napoleon styled dress. “DELACROIX!” cried Sergio. The man came near Sergio joyfully and hugged him. “So, how is everyone? I mean your friends?” asked Delacroix.
“Ha ha! They are fine, cousin” said Sergio joyfully. The carriage driver was now Dromio. Sergio and Delacroix sat beside each other. “Well, I never see you free as a bird, I thought you were calm and quiet” said Delacroix. Sergio said “It’s ok”. After that, Sergio and Delacroix exited the carriage after reaching the castle. Delacroix saw the castle changed. “So, I loved that it’s changed” said Delacroix. “I can dance, I can duel and I can do anything during the King’s absence”. Sergio smiled and took him to the guest room.
After that, he went to the festival of fools along with Maria. Five minutes later, they saw that the bell ringer from Notre Dame was tortured by people who threw tomatoes at him. The bell ringer was hunchbacked and looked uglier than in real life. Sergio came along with the gypsy dancer, Esmeralda. Sergio cut the rope off. He said “why did you torture this poor creature, Jean Claude Frollo? He might be ugly but he is the creation of God”. The rest of the speech was given by Esmeralda.
Suddenly, the guards saw Sergio and grabbed him. “You are under arrest” said one of the guards. Sergio asked “For what?” The guards replied “for kidnapping a child! Right Madam Maria?” Maria replied “No, he’s innocent”. The guards replied “stop this drama madam, you have commanded us”. “Maria!” growled Sergio. The guards took Sergio to the castle dungeon. The guards hit him so violently that his blood came out. Delacroix suddenly stopped the guards. “He’s innocent! The child is already with the mother! PLEASE STOP” said Delacroix. Then Sergio was released. He felt that he had forgiven Maria because of the mistakes she had done.
Sergio had promised Maria for not doing such a thing by mistake.
Chapter 7: Sword Duel
Sergio went to the corridor but the same time Maria came along. Delacroix came simultaneously. “Who is she? Beautiful!” said Delacroix staring at Maria. “I thought you know her! She’s Maria, my partner and friend” said Sergio. “Her expression is more like you! Free as a bird!” said Delacroix. He offered Sergio for a sword duel. Sergio agreed. Maria was shocked and reminiscence her past.
They went to the courtyard and stood aside each other eye-to-eye. They bowed each other with the sword. Later on, they spun the sword and pushed it to each other. The sword sounded mechanically. After Sergio defeated him in the duel, Maria smiled with pride. “You are a great swordsmen, how did you learnt it?” asked Maria in praise. Sergio replied “Well, that’s a long story! Delacroix and I were trained in the swords duel.” She was delighted and took Sergio to the pet shop, in the crowded streets.
Suddenly, Sergio saw a beautiful parrot. It was red in color, blue and green in the back of the tail. When Sergio greeted the parrot, the parrot answered the words that how did he greeted. Then he called Maria but when she heard the words that the parrot was repeating about, she told Sergio to buy it.
After that, they went to the castle and slept. Evening rose and suddenly, when Sergio entered the ball room, he saw Maria sat on a bar. When Sergio went near Maria, she said “ready for work?” Sergio smiled and nodded his head by saying ‘yes’.
The guests from the ball room went away and the bell of the church started to ring. Sergio and Maria, alone in the dark but suddenly, Maria walked like a shadow and vanished. Sergio alone went outside the castle and suddenly heard a singing voice started with:
Love is a locket, love is heaven, and love is everything.
Love is no poor or rich, it’s about humanity, reality and morality.
Some says love is foolish but no one knows that what is love?
Where are you? I am looking for you in rains, mountains, bridges, farms and trees but where are you? I am trapped and bounded but please my Royal prince, I am in a great sorrow! Where are you? God please help me to find him.
Sergio was surprised and hid into the bushes after he followed Maria through the forest. His handsome but strong singing voice came out:
I do not know or I do not want to know, where am I? Am I a prince charming? But not a prince but an ordinary merchant with
an extraordinary love. Ask the storm, sea, fruits, trees and rain. So search me where am I? My loving Maria! I will never kill myself because you let the darkness go light.
Maria was shocked to hear such a beautiful voice that she was pleased:
Come out my love! I want to see you and I feel that you are…
I pray for you, adore you, encourage you and clean you.
Sergio came out and simultaneously, the cold breeze came towards the whole forest and Sergio smiled by confronting Maria. Both sang:
Love is in birth by birth
Kills the hell, Finds the Heaven,
Find the love that you found before
Do not defy your true love.
Love is age by age
Help and try.
True love does have no bounds.
Chapter 8: The First Threat
Sergio slept in Maria’s cabin.
In the middle of the night, when Sergio woke up, he heard the swing of a metallic sword. He went through the corridor and saw that the guards were sleeping. Sergio went to the library. It had full of books and journals made by the king, knights and other people. He went to the section J and searched.
Suddenly, he grabbed an old, handwritten diary. It was written ‘The Diary of J’Albe De Tour’ and Sergio was shocked. He took the diary in the table and read about one of his famous adventures. It was written:
13th January 1414
Dear Diary,
I went to Venice for a sword duel. My brother, De Gaulle was a favorite of all Venice commoners. He was a black knight and a warrior. I loved the way he used to duel. My son and my brother’s son were trained as swordsmen.
Well, I always see my brother’s expression. Angry and arrogant but always give a charming look when he smiles. My brother had sent a guard to find an old warrior but the old warrior farmer could not go alone without his ten year old daughter but he left her invisibly. I was sad to see her weeping. My son, Sergio tried to console her. After, she played with Sergio, I was happy.
But later on, suddenly, a guard gave me a letter for the death of the farmer during the sword duel. I was tightly angered. I swiftly went to the castle and saw my brother enjoying their feast because of the farmer’s death. But…
“Dear Sergio,
This is written in blood. I am about to die and if I die, use the property I will give it to you, use the rights that I have given it to you”.
When the dirty blood bled down from the page, Sergio quickly closed the diary. He felt that someone targeted at his property. He had a very deep thought on it. He was also curious about the letter written in his father’s blood. Shocked, feared Sergio went to his sleep. But he could not. He was tensed quite a lot.
Chapter: 9 Battle between Guards
Later on, Sergio went out, had a very lousy feeling. Delacroix came cheerfully. He hugged Sergio. “How are you?” asked Delacroix. “Yeah, yeah, I am quite fine!” said Sergio lousily. Delacroix offered Sergio to go for a fair. But he refused to go alone. Then Delacroix took Sergio to the fair with the coach.
When Sergio came out of the carriage, he walked in the crowds. He suddenly saw a girl resembled to Maria. When Sergio tapped her shoulder softly, she asked “may I know you?” Sergio replied “Maria, you know me! Remember?” Maria replied “of course not! But how do you know my name?”
The guards caught Sergio and grabbed him in a severe way. Sergio jumped off and kicked the guards. He grabbed a sword and spun his body. Then he slaughter one of the guard’s head. Then he punched everyone and blood. Maria got scared and ran away. Sergio tore their clothes out. Then he found out that they were not real guards but criminals escaped from the dungeon. He felt that someone set them free.
Though, Sergio was worried.
Then, Sergio went to the castle and the meeting started. Most of the royal aristocrats, advisors, viziers, ministers and warriors came to the great hall. Delacroix started the meeting.
“Good afternoon, everyone. I Delacroix De Venice announce some few changes in the royal palace of King Louis. There will be a change in education, politics, staff members and everything will be set up. Our dear friend, Sergio will be an education minister and will teach the poor. But he will still be an aristocrat”. Delacroix pointed Maria. “Maria, the love of my life will be in charge of the bar and ball room. But as for Sergio, he will never work with her and if everyone gets even closer to her, especially men, they will be arrested. I am sorry Sergio”. The meeting was over; Maria avoided him and ran away. Sergio was really angry and took his parrot to his new cabin. Then he talked to the parrot who talked like a human being. They were best friends forever. He suddenly got a telegram. It was written:
15th March, 1132
France City
Dear My Lovable Friend,
You are in grave danger. I am apologized with sorrow that you will be heart broken. If it is true, pray to God. Your fiancée, Maria loves you no longer. Therefore, my friend, she is the one to steal your properties and goods.
I am dying, my friend. It is not an accident, the guards will attack me because it is a command from your love of your life, your trust will be broken. May God bless you. My last wish is that, true love never awaits, thy help people, thy live as you are. Do not envy anyone.
Yours truly,
Dromio
Sergio was shocked but quickly controlled his emotions.
Meanwhile, most of the king’s men announced about the death of Dromio. Next rainy day, a funeral of Dromio was held. The storm blast and colorless clouds with a frightening horror blew away. Finally, the rift had begun.
Chapter: 10 Sergio’s Escape
Sergio went to the bar. He saw Maria with Delacroix. He was jealous with anger. When he was about to get near them, the guards threw him out. He felt full of shame. Weeks passed, no one cared about Sergio but he was ruling the education system well.
He always go to the ball room at night and reminisces his past and romantic times with Maria. He could not bear the past. Then he broke a bottle of wine but he avoided it to drink. He went away.
Next morning, in the crowded streets of France, Sergio walked with his parrot. Then he went to the pharmacy shop to take a mint plant. After that, he made a juice from the plant. When he drank it, he was slowly relaxing in his bed.
But, the guards found him drowsy. They woke him up. “You are arrested, for stealing Senorita Maria’s engagement ring” said one of the three guards. They quickly took him and hit Sergio severely that blood came out. Delacroix smiled and clapped.
“A drama indeed, stealing my fiancée’s ring!” said Delacroix and slapped him. Sergio was in full of sweat. “NO!” Sergio snarled. “You are out from the castle, instead of living in the dungeon and you are filled with insanity. But my dear brother, I will not send you to the asylum. I will leave you to the forest”. Delacroix commanded the soldiers but he ran away. Then they were chasing him. Then he took his horse through the dark forest and the soldiers were chasing him.
He crossed through a shallow lake and took his horse to the hill to a windmill house. He was almost afraid of the dark and saw mysterious things which were carelessly seen. Winds and storms came strongly and cool breeze blew away the soldiers who chased him. He was cut and wounded.
He reminisces the death of his friend, the lost of his heart and the growth of his obsession towards sword fighting. He felt that it might be the time to move on.
Next day, the soldier announced that Sergio died by crossing the sea. Then one of them showed Delacroix a torn cloth, full of blood. Then, he wept in public because of the death of his one and only relative. He thought he would meet a judge who would solve the problem. Maria heard the news about Sergio that he died and his last wish was to marry Delacroix and never commit suicide.
Meanwhile, Sergio was laid like a dead body. Suddenly, a man came out from the windmill house and saw Sergio. “Oh, my God” said the man. Then he took the wounded Sergio to the man’s bedroom. He gave Sergio, a wooden bowl of water. Sergio gave a weak cough. “Oh stranger, who are you?” asked the man. Sergio replied in a weak voice “Farmer Leonardo”. The man asked “how do you know me?” Sergio replied “our dear friend, Dromio killed by the soldiers of His Majesty. Now you are the only gypsy to help me”. The man said “Sergio Devito, an educated merchant turned minister. I know you and I saw you when you were six, 24 years from now. Still not married?” Sergio replied “no, my heart is broken like a shake of thunder! She will never come back”. The man said “I am pardoned with sorrow”.
Chapter:11 Gypsy Education
The name of the man was Farmer Leonardo L’Amoure. He was Dromio’s elder brother and Sergio’s mentor. He was wise and adventurous. He used to love a girl named Amelia but she was killed by De Gaulle when he was twenty years old. He was never married but instead, he raised Dromio and part-timely, Sergio.
Now, Sergio was cured after weeks passed. He went out and watched the cornfield, carrot field, cabbage field and so on. Leonardo soon recognized Sergio and offered him to educate the gypsies. He never refused because it was his dream since he was twelve.
At night, he went to the forest and saw fifteen tents and five caravans. Sergio went to one of the caravans and saw a woman with a crystal ball. She let Sergio enter. Sergio asked “may I know my future?” The gypsy replied “you have to kill the beast with your sword. You have a destructed future but let us see who will win”. The name of the gypsy was Laverne. She had a daughter who was younger than Maria. She secretly had a crush on Sergio.
Now, he was teaching new things like art, literature and writing. He wanted make a campaign to feed the poor. But, when Sergio heard that one of the gypsy dancers would be on trial and Delacroix and other colleagues are involved in the trial. He knew that the bell ringer would stop the trial because he loves that gypsy.
He nowadays steals the money from the rich and gave it to the poor. He even persuades Maria and Delacroix by not showing the appearance except his shadow. Maria always got scared that she felt that Sergio would take revenge.
Next day, Sergio went to a small stadium made of wood. Sergio was bare clothed except the black pant. He saw a muscular, bare clothed except the pant and bald angry man snarling. Sergio also snarled. Both ran towards each other and pushed. Sergio smashed the angry bald man and one of his teeth broke out and blood came out. Sergio was two inches shorter than the angry bald man. Sergio jumped and kicked the angry bald man (wrestler). Then the man fell down, snarled and cried like a gorilla. He damaged the part of the stadium. Sergio was sweated but he was punched so hard that he could not move. When the wrestler was about to win, he reminisces the broken heart and flashback from his escape. Then he jumped and punched in a slow motion that the man was hurt. “The hyena kills with the group but only a lion can kill alone for its prey!” snarled Sergio. He ran, kicked and punched that he would forget everything, even his parents. Sergio put his hand together and hit the wrestler’s belly that he got unconscious. Then, Farmer Leonardo rewarded Sergio. They went to the farm again.
Chapter:12 The Tale of the Traitor
When they went from the dark forest to the windmill house and Sergio opened the door. The house was untidy, unclean and full of blood. They became disgusted that they found a snake’s filthy body.
There was a knife stuck in the wooden wall with a piece of note. It was written as:
Dear Prospero, (Sergio’s New Name after his fake death)
I am Captain Le Kelle from His Majesty’s royal Education Minister. I frankly heard your teaching fashion and I loved it much. I am filled with apology to keep your house untidy and kill a snake because of Madam Maria’s command. Nowadays, she was also killing the commoners but she claimed that she was innocent. I trust her because; she needs her love Sergio back. If you think she is mad? No, she is not. After this week, Maria and Delacroix will marry and we need someone to save the kingdom.
I am one of them to witness Sergio’s funeral. I afraid that his spirit always comes to steal the money and never show his wounded face. Gypsies and citizens are discriminated. I will be pleased if you get them together. I am also one of them to witness Dromio’s funeral.
Sincerely Yours
Capt. L. Kelle
Sergio shouted “No!”
Leonardo sympathized Sergio for his depressive mood. Then he took some rest. After that, Leonardo offered him a fruit juice. After Sergio drank it, he asked Leonardo that what happened with Sergio’s parents. Leonardo replied “Let me tell you a story”.
“In 14th January 1414, a traitor named De Gaulle was a very greedy man for his brother’s money. He always used to tell his son that his brother’s son was an enemy. He was a stupid kind of a boy. He always listens to his father and never listens to anyone, even me.
I tried to take care of you three but when his own brother was stabbed by De Gaulle and his sister-in-law was poisoned and killed by him. His nephew ran away from Venice to France. He never knew that De Gaulle’s son was his foe. De Gaulle died right after he drunk too much of wine and his madness arise.”
Sergio was shocked but could not realize who was De Gaulle’s so called ‘stupid son’. Then, suddenly, someone knocked. Sergio came out and looked down. Then he found a basket with a letter on it. Suddenly he saw a hooded woman and cried “Oi! Ma’am”.
He looked at the letter:
Dear Prospero,
I heard that you also call the spirits. I loved your way of gypsy teaching. Please make my love alive. You are invited to my engagement on 25th August 1432. Sir I will take a great pleasure if you are here.
Sincerely Yours
Maria
He was shocked but he controlled his emotions and shared it to farmer Leonardo.
Chapter:13 Prepare for the Battle
“Well, Mr. Prospero! I think you are in love again” said Leonardo jokingly. Sergio chuckled “Huh! Well, I am not in love but I still remember my romantic days. Now I have to move and get a new life but something tells me that I should not forget Maria because of her innocent eyes always tell the truth”. Suddenly someone cried “FIRE!” The duo was shocked and they ran through the forest.
They saw the tents on fire, five angry mobs with the torch and the king’s soldiers. The gypsies ran away and most gypsies were fighting with swords by slaying two angry mobs and three soldiers. Then Sergio used a black paint and cloth to not show up the mobs and the guards. Then Sergio scared them away by laughing ghostly.
After they ran away, one of the gypsies cheered him up “ALL HAIL PROSPERO!” Many started to cheer him up. Now, he became the leader of the gypsies. He felt like he has taking revenge on Maria and rescue Delacroix. Then, he starts to train the gypsies for a battle. Nowadays, Sergio himself also was learning archeries from Leonardo.
Later on, he went to the mountains with Leonardo and former head of the gypsies, Clopin Trouillefou. Sergio called all the gypsies except female gypsies. He gave a speech:
“Dear fellows,
I, Prospero will give a speech. I not here for a meeting, I am here for a campaign which has not been done before. His Majesty, King Louis wanted to discriminate us from the commoners of the city. In the name of Lord, we shall have to fight back because we shall never tolerate our discrimination.
Now, we will battle against Frollo and those who are involved in the Ministry. We are a family and we are the ones to make the riot and now the riot will end. We will go to the Court of miracles. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!”
Chapter 14: Court of Miracles
Most of the gypsies took their caravan and objects in their hands. They went to the city at night. Then they went to a frightening graveyard. Then Clopin opened one of the big graves. They took the torch and stepped through downstairs.
They crept down through and saw thousands of skeletons beside the gutter. They went forward and then, Clopin showed the paradise where the gypsies lived. There were beautifully architecture walls, banners, old flags and tents. Sergio and Clopin told them to enjoy there and stay there for three days.
Sergio reminisced the incident of his escape. His changed appearance made him look older. He had a French beard and spiky. He wore a dark green long shawl. When he opens his cloth, he had six packs. His eyes were a bit wrinkled because he could not sleep in three days. He always had a nightmare (since the incident in Sergio’s Escape).
In the next morning, Sergio woke up and walked through the whole Court of Miracles. Then, suddenly, he saw a hooded woman. When the woman opened her hood and Sergio was stunned. “Maria!” he exclaimed. The hooded woman said “Well, Prospero! I certainly recognize you. You are Sergio, right?” Sergio replied “if I were Sergio, I would reciprocate my love for you. Well, I will never forgive you until you will not seek your apology from me and tell Delacroix that I am alive”. Maria became so emotional that she said “Sergio, I am suffering and people are threatening me. I can not tolerate so far I suffer for. I am saying with sorrow that I will never lie to you because I have strong belief in God, His Prophets, His Angels and Books. I need your help”.
Sergio said “there is no use for telling that though I forgive you. Betraying gypsies means betraying me. Do not cross your limits. Will you make a favor, please? You are signing to be a gypsy”. Maria said “Thank you but I will reveal the truth later. I have some work with you and your gypsies. I never killed anyone. There is someone behind this”.
Sergio signed Maria in for being a member of the gypsies. Then he taught Maria sword fighting, archery and other things like fish fight (the way Sergio did in Gypsy education).
She stayed with Sergio in the court of miracles. At night, Laverne’s daughter started to dance with her tambourine and bangles. Sergio, Clopin and the rest of the gypsies sat down, enjoyed her dance. Then Maria competed with her. Then Sergio and Clopin danced with them and Sergio used his flute for music. Maria danced with Sergio in a gypsy style. Then Sergio flirted with Maria and reminisces his past with Maria happily. Sergio’s parrot kissed the other parrot and danced with her. Sergio’s parrot said “I love you Laila”. The other parrot said “I love you too Erason, my football darling”. Then everyone slept.
Chapter 15: STOP THIEF!
In the morning, Sergio and Maria both woke up in a sense that they stared at each other and Maria’s hair waved in the air. Then Sergio patted Maria’s hair and she became bashful (Bashful as Disney’s Snow White). “Your eyes are still beautiful, more than your dancing skills” said Sergio. Maria giggled “Shut up!” Then Sergio laughed and reminiscences his past where his parents had romantically involved.
Maria said “I hope, you have forgiven me. I will stay with you and I will never lose you until death. I am on your side. I will be with the gypsies and you.” Sergio said “Well, sometimes incidents may happen but you are always forgiven as I feel you”. Then Sergio went out, disguised as a clean shaven French Man with hat, jacket and pants. He went to the castle. He secretly went to the backside of the castle.
He saw Delacroix and Maria discussed something. “Maria, where did you go? I was looking for you in the whole city at night?” asked Delacroix. “I don’t know” said Maria. Delacroix said “Are you insane?” Maria replied “No, I am not insane. I am telling the truth and I have forgotten everything. I was also looking for Prospero but I was lost in the forest. I came back because, I found a carriage”. Then Delacroix slapped angrily. He shouted “Tell me the truth!” Maria said “I don’t know, I just came from the forest!” Maria wept so much that Sergio got emotional. Then he went inside the castle. He opened his (Now Delacroix) vault and stole all the gold and silver goods.
Most of the soldiers tried to capture him but Sergio ran so fast that, the soldier got slipped from the stairs. Sergio jumped through the lake beside the castle. Then he swam and went through the crowded streets of France. Then he went to The Court of Miracles. He saw that the two gypsies fought each other calling themselves coward.
“Oi!” shouted by snarling Sergio. All stunned for his appearance. The two gypsies peed unintentionally. Sergio was a very strict leader. Then he challenged one of the gypsies for sword fighting. The gypsy accepted and also had a duel. But Sergio won.
Leonardo clapped and then they had celebrated the Feast of Fools. Sergio planned for the war. Leonardo was happy with the plan that showed Sergio as a genius leader. Laverne’s daughter fell in love with Leonardo since they went to the court of miracles. Her name was Tina, a clever gypsy. They announced that they would be getting married. Sergio felt proud that Leonardo had sacrificed his former lover, Amelia who had died a long time ago.
Chapter: 16 The Wedding
At night, Sergio and Clopin arranged the decorations of the wedding. They put colorful ribbons, flags with the symbol of the couple and also arranged food. Then they invited to the orphanages, gypsies, circus people, most of their gypsy relatives and their friends.
The lists were successful. They were tired. But they need three bridesmaids and two best men. Then they realized that Clopin and Sergio are the best men and Maria and two other gypsies are the bridesmaids. The plan was successful.
At dawn six, when the bell of the church rang, Sergio and Clopin woke up. They shower in the forest lake. They wore Sergio’s previous clothes. Then the wedding had begun. Tina and Leonardo hugged each other and kissed each other’s cheek. Then the feast had begun the wedding had ended. Sergio was in disguise again and went to the crowded streets of France.
He also saw that the soldiers attempted to kill the poor women from rural areas begged for money but suddenly, Sergio stopped the soldiers and fought them with his sword. After that, he slays their head with his sword. Then Sergio barked like a dog. He snarled “you will never kill my children again, you wretched man!”
The woman was surprised that she recognized Sergio. “SERGIO!” she whispered. Sergio asked “Lola?” The woman said “hope you have recognized me!” The name of the woman was Lola. She was Sergio’s mate in the University of England. She used to tease Sergio in such a way that everyone laughed at her. Nowadays, Lola had a husband once a fish merchant. He used to have a luxurious life. But Lola and her husband were thrown out by Delacroix before Sergio escaped. Lola’s husband died in an unknown illness. She now had a child, a male child.
Then, Sergio took Lola and her child to the Court of Miracles. Then he had introduced Lola to Leonardo and Tina. The gypsies enjoyed their food. Then they took their rest. Maria suddenly came in a sense that she wept dramatically. Sergio asked “What happened?” Maria replied “That thief slapped me a lot, threatening me!” Sergio asked again “Who is that thief!” Maria became silent and scared. Then Sergio became suspicious and felt annoyed to disturb her. “Ok” said Sergio. “Then take bread”. Then Maria accepted the offer and stayed with him. Evening rose and Maria stayed with him at night. Then, most of the gypsies were out to practice. After that, they slept at night.
Meanwhile, the soldiers went to the forest and saw the former gypsies’ house. Then they burned with the torch to the caravans. After that, they found out that the gypsies were not here. They became quite suspicious.
Chapter: 17 Mysterious Incidents
Next day, Erason-the parrot flew towards Sergio in the Court Of Miracles and dropped a piece of paper. Sergio picked up and opened the paper. It was written:
Dear Signor Prospero,
I am eagerly waiting for you in my marriage. Please come to my humble castle as a guest. But nowadays, mysterious things are happening. Most of the women are killed overnight. You are the only intelligent gypsy to find out the mysterious happenings. How do you educate these people? Why did you show them money and gold? My trusts to poor people and beggars are destructed but when I heard about your education system, I was not worried. I am proud of the beauty of moral education.
Sincerely Yours
Delacroix De Venice
Then Sergio became quite suspicious of the letter. Leonardo said “mysterious killings, fight for battle and assaulted poor people! That’s it! Someone is doing that!” Sergio said “I know brother. The murderer is behind this. Well, the letter I received that was written about marriage between Delacroix and Maria that has a connection between the final battle and mysterious killings”. Leonardo said “That might happen. Now, we have no time for this. We will now practice our sword fighting, archery and wrestling.
At night, Sergio arranged a wrestling match and others were practicing. Most of the female gypsies cheered Sergio up. He saw a fat wrestler and Sergio was attempted to punch him but he saw two men. One was the hunchback and other was the captain. Clopin wanted them to hang but Sergio and Esmeralda stopped Clopin. But suddenly, a judge named Frollo came and tortured Esmeralda, the hunchback and the former Captain Phoebus. Then he set a trial of Esmeralda that left most of the gypsies helpless.
At dawn, Frollo set fires in the whole city, searched for gypsies all around. Now Sergio called most of the gypsies for plan that made a huge army. Now, they set off for a fight and helped one other. Sergio killed most of the guards and more than that, he went to the forest. He could not sleep peacefully.
Chapter 18: Sergio’s Natural Effects
Next morning, Sergio woke up. The nature was cloudy and most of the animals were in the trees, burrows and all the other shelters. The storm started and Sergio was walking so hard that the storm could not stop him. Then, the rain started so hard that hailstones started to fall.
Then Sergio suddenly saw a horse. After that, he rode it to the mountains and stopped when he reached at the top of the hill. Then he felt the cold rain and later on, he woke up in the evening.
Suddenly, Erason-the parrot found Sergio as he was cold, shivering and he laid down freezing. “The city is on fire” cried Erason. He repeated again. Sergio woke up and saw Erason. When he got up from the grass, he raised his sword “Prepare for the Battle! I will be there again. I will never kill myself until I do! I will kill the ruthless man who destroyed my life. I will kill all of His Majesty’s soldiers who are against us!” Then Sergio took his horse.
He crossed through the shallow water, forests where the sweet nature was situated, sandy beaches, stormy winds in the cold hills and the molten fire of volcanoes and then at last, he reached the city at night. He saw the trial of Esmeralda as people thought that she was a witch. Suddenly, the hunchback took her by swinging with the rope and kept her through Notre Dame Cathedral cried for Sanctuary.
Then Sergio went to the Court of Miracles and took the male gypsies out and took their swords, bows and arrows. Sergio and the gypsies raised their swords and attacked the ministers who discriminated the gypsies and also the people who ruined Sergio’s life.
Sergio was an angry young man nowadays. He became a very mature person at the age of 30. Maria was 18 (now 19). He cried “CHARGE!” He fought the soldiers with swords and all the other gypsies pushed the castle gate with a large wooden bark and the lake beside the castle turned molten. Delacroix was afraid and roared angrily. He sent the guards to find Prospero (Sergio) and the other men.
Chapter: 19 The War Begins
“Oh, God! Help me!” Sergio said. He was in the Notre Dame Cathedral along with Leonardo after attacking the soldiers. Sergio prayed “Oh God! Please, succeed the war. I am truly grateful to you. Forgive me for everything. The guards are searching for me. If my heart breaks again, I will be born again.”
Suddenly, the guards came to the cathedral. Sergio and Leonardo hid themselves in the walls. When the guards went out, Sergio went to the backside of the castle. Inside the window (the ball room), he saw Delacroix threw the candle lamps through the floor. The flames had grown much quickly. Sergio realized that someone was inside the ball room.
Then he threw stones on the window glass and crashed the window by running towards it. The flames grew more and he suddenly saw Maria. “Sergio!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Maria shouted. Then Sergio ran towards her and hugged her. Sergio said “My love, I hope we meet again. You are the diary of my life. All the things I have questioned you, you have to answer thereby. Tell me”.
Maria said “I should have told you earlier. De Gaulle’s son was non other than Delacroix. De Gaulle stabbed your father to death, I was your childhood friend and I will still be. The thief, the wretched person, the stupid son was non other than Delacroix. He is the one to steal your properties. He was the devil who wanted to kill you. A secret that was untold to all of you that you are a father of a boy. He was born after you left and Delacroix wanted to marry me forcefully and wanted to kill the child but he was too small to be killed. Therefore, Delacroix wanted to adopt him. He did not know you are Prospero and he also wanted to see you but I persuaded him not to go to the Court of Miracles but it’s too late. He still thought that you were dead but today he already knew it. He threatened me that if I get closer to you, I will be dead. So I acted to love him. I secretly gave you the letter for not knowing that you are alive. The boy is named after you”.
Sergio asked “Where is the child?” Maria replied “May be he is with his nanny, Emily”. “May be we are alive no longer because flames are getting closer to us. Do not worry my love, we shall meet again. Love each other, Do not envy anyone, our son will serve our country, remember our timeless love when he will grow up and he will be in a very special care. He will learn morality and reality. He will be our special cure.” Sergio and Maria hugged each other.
The fire exploded and their bodies burned mostly in their legs and their faces filled with blood. They slept forever. Delacroix opened the door and saw the dead bodies of the duo. Then he buried them behind the castle. When Delacroix was about to take the baby from his room, suddenly, Leonardo put his sword on Delacroix’s neck. The baby was still asleep. Then Leonardo pulled Delacroix’s ear and took him to the rooftop of the castle.
Chapter 20: Farewell-The Last Duel
“Leonardo, such a long time” said Delacroix. Leonardo said “It is not too long time; Sergio is alive no longer and even your fiancée. You have killed them both. Your father also killed my dear Amelia because she was also a merchant and your sister. You are happy for that, right? You loathe your sister. Do not you know what is mother? Do not you know that what is sister? Do not you know what is wife? Women are the respective beings but you are truly a wife-beater.” Delacroix cried “How dare!-” but Leonardo interrupted “You always listen to your father but it is a different case but why did you disobey your kind mother? Why did you enjoy your mother’s death? Do you know that what is the difference between rich and poor? There is no difference between that but matter is personality and how people are! Age does not matter, experience does.”
“How dare!” Delacroix shouted. Leonardo said “Let’s duel! Shall we?” Delacroix snarled like a snake “yes!” After that, Leonardo punched Delacroix much that he fell off to the corner of the roof. Then Leonardo took his sword and tackled Delacroix. Then they started to fight. They fought and fought but when the thunderstorm roared, the stormy winds came then both swords fell down. Then Leonardo reminisced that his death friend Sergio’s fish fight.
Leonardo torn his tops into pieces and roared like a lion. He punched so much that Delacroix remembers his grandparents. Leonardo punched Delacroix’s left eye. It became black and Leonardo also punched Delacroix’s face that blood came out. After that, Delacroix fell down to the last corner of the roof but he held the stone.
Leonardo pressed Delacroix’s hand harshly with his leg. He fell down to a molten lake beside the castle and laughed hysterically. “Good bye old man!” said Leonardo.
The war between gypsies and the French people were over. Everyone was sad that their leader died and his body was found nowhere. Leonardo lived in the castle along with Tina and also with Sergio’s child. The child grew up to be an educated merchant in London after 24 years.
575 Years Later
Prehistoric Skeleton Couple Won't Be Separated
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
The pair of skeletons found near Mantua, Italy, on Feb. 5 by a construction crew.
The skeletons unearthed last week were being scooped out of the earth to undergo tests before going on display in the northern Italian city of Mantua, archaeologists said.
"We will work to keep them together," said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig. "Removing the turf in one piece will preserve the position and allow us to collect more data on the burial." he burial was unearthed on the outskirts of Mantua during construction work. The site is 25 miles south of Verona, the city where Shakespeare set the story of "Romeo and Juliet," and the discovery fueled musings in the media about prehistoric love. Menotti also has said there is little doubt the couple's pose was born of a deep love, but warned it could be impossible to determine the exact nature of their relationship and how they died.
Mantua's archaeological office said in a statement Tuesday that, in some cases of the period, the wife would be sacrificed when her husband died and buried with him. However, the statement said that "at the current stage of research" there was no evidence that this was what happened to Mantua pair.
Alongside the couple, archaeologists found flint tools, including an arrowhead and a knife. Experts plan to analyze the tools along with the earth the couple was buried in to see if there are remains of flowers or plants that might have decorated the bodies, Menotti said. They will also look at the skeletons to verify their sex and search for signs of illness or other possible causes of death, she said.
After undergoing lab tests, the couples are to be displayed at Mantua's Archaeological Museum.
The discovery was made in a region rich in Neolithic treasures, including some 30 burial sites, all single, as well as the remains of prosperous villages filled with artifacts made of flint, pottery and animal horns.
THE END
Notes:
Alternate Endings:
• Sergio hugged Maria (Chapter 19). After that Delacroix entered and tried to kill the two but Sergio pushed Delacroix into fire. Then the war ends.
• (This ending goes to the Future Disney or any animated adaptation) After Sergio rescued Maria, Sergio dueled with Delacroix and Delacroix fell down to the molten lake. Some humor includes Erason fights with the soldiers. All the gypsies filled with joy to see their leader defeated the traitor.
Message:
• “Do not you know what is mother? Do not you know that what is sister? Do not you know what is wife? Women are the respective beings but you are truly a wife-beater” means that Leonardo explains Delacroix about the value of women
• “You always listen to your father but it is a different case but why did you disobey your kind mother? Why did you enjoy your mother’s death? Do you know that what is the difference between rich and poor? There is no difference between that but matter is personality and how people are! Age does not matter, experience does.” You have to learn what friendship means and mother is a greatest being of all our hearts. Never judge what is rich and poor and being a racist. People had matured because they are learning something.
• “Love each other, Do not envy anyone, our son will serve our country, remember our timeless love when he will grow up and he will be in a very special care. He will learn morality and reality. He will be our special cure.” Sergio was wise enough to say these dialogues because our parents wants us to be in special care so we can help them and we will earn for everything that helps everyone. They also want our good.
• “The hyena kills with the group but only a lion can kill alone for its prey” Sergio meant that a coward can fight along with his people but a brave man fights alone.
• Sergio felt proud that Leonardo had sacrificed his former lover, Amelia who had died a long time ago. Means that if you truly love anyone. If he/she dies you have to marry the same soul that your other love have and also move on to life.
• Have faith in God, Believe Him, His books, His angels and everything.
ROMEDU-The new genre
• The word ROMEDU comes from Rom as ‘Romance’ and Edu as ‘Education’. This is about some romances has a messages. Nowadays, some romantic films and books do not have any message. Therefore, this new genre is quite important to most people like Stephanie Myer and other romantic writers. Every of the messages in romedu can tell us the bond of love, value of everything, moral science, books to read, friendship and loyalty. This is quite exceptional to people.
