Days passed, Guinevere couldn’t get a good night sleep. She always had a nightmare about Geoffrey. She would shout and wake up, her breath was uneven and she could feel her heartbeat accelerating. Poor Guinevere always thought about her dearest prince. She had a flash back. He was such a good-looking man, funny but mature and wise too at the same time that I couldn’t get my eyes off him. He was humble and honest too. Suddenly, she saw a pigeon outside her window. She quickly walked towards the pigeon and found that the pigeon carried a bundle of letters. She untied the bundle and gazed in surprise. It was Geoffrey’s letters. After reading the poems, she took a piece of paper and started to write. Ten minutes later, she curled the paper and tied it to the pigeon’s leg. She freed the pigeon, looked at the moon and hoped that Geoffrey got her letter.
The next day, her father told her that there would be banquet at evening in the Galton’s castle. He also asked the servants help Guinevere to prepare herself for the banquet. Almost for the whole day, Guinevere prepared herself for the banquet.
When Princess Guinevere stepped out of the carriage, Rupert Wallace, the prince of Galton, saw her immediately. Since then, he couldn't take his eyes off her. The way that she gracefully walked on the stone platform was elegant, and Rupert fell in love with her at that very moment. Then, Princess Guinevere came into the banquet hall. Upon entering, she was welcomed by the banquet host. After that, the banquet started, and the guests began to dance with each other. Suddenly, in the middle of the crowded situation, Rupert's father hit his cup with a spoon three times, to gather attention in the banquet. He made an announcement that is shocking to both Princess Guinevere and Prince Rupert. He announced that Princess Guinevere is going to marry his son, Rupert, soon after they got to know each other. The wedding was held to establish a political relation between the two kingdoms. After the banquet, Rupert gathered all of his courage and asked Princess Guinevere for a walk on the park. They talked until Guinevere’s parents came out of the banquet, and Guinevere went home with them.
The next day, Rupert came to see her again. She rushed down, and saw Rupert waiting for her. Rupert asked her to accompany him for a stroll in his garden, and so she did. While they were taking a stroll in Rupert’s garden, Rupert’s father saw them. He thought that they were already getting close to each other. So he decided to advance the wedding plan.
Until the day when Guinevere had to marry Rupert, Geoffrey was still at the tower, locked and isolated. At the wedding, Guinevere was anxious and couldn’t stop thinking about Geoffrey. In her mind, it was only Geoffrey and nothing else. What was he doing? Was he all right? And the thought of him just stayed in her mind. Since she couldn’t get Geoffrey out of her mind, an insane idea popped up in her mind. The idea was she would run away from the wedding and got herself to Geoffrey – her true love. For this reason, she made up a story that could get rid of the soldiers who guarded her 24 hours.
“Where do you want to go, Sweetheart?” asked Rupert curiously.
“Umm, I just want to take some air, I am so nervous because of our wedding. So please, leave me alone, Rupert.”
“Alright, see you at the chapel. Can’t wait to see you there, my darling.”
All the expression that Guinevere had set within her face was forged. She promised herself to do everything it took to fall between Geoffrey’s arms because of her strong will, her strong and pure love towards Geoffrey. In a very short time, she escaped from her room successfully. She acted so carefully that she wanted to escape from the custodians.
Mission accomplished! She was safe and sound now; at least that’s what she thought. She didn’t do alone; instead, she had an escort who was always there to help her whenever she needed him. It was Tom, the horse rider. Tom brought her to the tower where Geoffrey had been isolated for a couple of weeks.
Guinevere was very excited to see her dearest prince freed from the tower. She shouted loudly so Geoffrey could hear her voice. Tom also cooperated in the situation. He asked the guards who guarded the tower and explained the circumstances that Guinevere had to face, which was the political marriage. Fortunately, the guards understood and they put their lives on line to safe the strong love between Geoffrey and Guinevere. The guards helped Tom and Guinevere. They threw the rope upstairs to get through the window, so Geoffrey could climb down the vine. Guinevere couldn’t help to unleash her feelings. She really missed Geoffrey so much. It was like a hundred years since the last time she met her lover. She hopped into Geoffrey’s arms, buried her head into his chest and started to cry. Geoffrey circled his hand around her waist and kissed his lover on her forehead.
“I miss you, a lot. Sshh, my princess, don’t cry.”
“…me…too…It’s the tears of happiness.”
After the deliverance of Geoffrey from the accursed tower, they decided to go back to the wedding and told to the whole family and Kingdom about their sincere feelings.
“Dear my lovely mom and dad, don’t you know that marriage is not just a game, therefore you cannot insist me to marry with a guy who I don’t love. You also killed my spiritual and morality if you ever dare to do it to your own child! You can’t do this to me! Marriage is sacred,” Guinevere clarified to her parents sorrowfully.
Through the conversation they had at the wedding, the King finally could understand what her daughter’s desire to live. He gave the approval and blessing to his daughter and promised her that he wouldn’t make her daughter heartbroken ever again.
Two months later, after the wedding preparation, Geoffrey and Guinevere could finally get married. The Kingdoms were reunited again. There were no dissension; instead there were only peace and prosperity in the kingdom. The kingdom was called the Queltin. In the end, Geoffrey and Guinevere’s everlasting love turned out to be the cause of the reunion of two kingdoms.
