"So he is the one with the dragon, let's kill him immediately and begin our restoration!" Queen Merl ordered as the guards grabs Mezie in both hands.  
"Mum!" Mera reacted as her mum answers happily because they have gotten what they want "What?" Queen Merl answered.
Mera stared at Mezie and steps closer to her mum and secretary whispers to her.
"Mum I should talk to you in private" She whispered to her as the Queen nods.
"Lock him up in the cell" Queen Merl ordered and the guard began to take Mezie to the cell.
"And please do not removed the chains or the bangles used to cover his mouth!" Princess Mera ordered as the guards took him away.
And Mera stared badly at the guards who were escorting her and her mum "Leave us" She ordered and the four of them left.
And then she began to discuss with her mother as they are taking a scroll.
"And why is he such a little boy?" Queen Merl asked as Princess Mera breathes out heavily.
"Exactly what I'm trying to talk to you about Mum, I think there should be a change of plan let's turn this plan towards another direction" Princess Mera said as Merl stares at her surprisingly because at first Mera was the one being so desperate for this moment and now she wants a change of plan.
"Mum I know that you will be definitely surprised but come on we cannot kill such an innocent child just for our interest and moreover he saved my life" Mera said as Merl nods.
"You are right Mera, we shouldn't kill him but the problem is what other plan do you have because we need that dragon to ensure a good safety of our Kingdom" Queen Merl asked.
And at this moment they are currently passing through their farming garden which some maids are currently working for them in there and they are passing through the path of the apple trees.
And the maid currently working at the farm was passing them with a basket full of apples when Mera took apples from the basket.
She took about two of them which she gave her mum one and they began to eat while discussing.
"Mum, like I was saying before that boy is just a kid, and he has told me his life story, he has lost his parents and currently in chase by the armies of KingsHeaven, his home town" Mera said as the Queen stared at her surprisingly.
"Hmm" Queen Merl said as she takes a bite of her apple. "They must be chasing him because of the same mega dragon?" Queen Merl asked.
"Yes mother!" Mera answered as she licks her lips and they finally branched without taking any further step. "So what do you suggest we should do now?" Merl asked.
"Let's adopt him mother" Mera said, although the Queen was about to eat her apple when she made the statement which the statement seized her from doing so.
"What...?" Queen Merl said out of surprises.
"Mum I know that this might sound ridiculous but trust me I know what this kid is capable of, I saw him fight! and besides once we adopt him and he agreed to stay with us then the dragon is equally ours" Mera said and Merl keeps silent trying to give it a thought.
And then she began to take a further walk which Mera joined her as well "Mera you should know that mega dragon are made for royalty bloods only" Queen Merl said.
"And that's exactly why we have to make him the prince" Mera said as the Queen surprisingly stares at her once again.
Because Mera is just full of surprises to her mum with her recent statements.
Queen Merl keep wondering if this is her daughter or another person.
Because Mera doesn't even want anyone to be compared to her not to talk of having someone as a prince which is highly above her position.
"Mum don't bother about me I have already made up my mind about this, I saw something great in that boy" Mera said as Merl nods.
"How are we going to convince him now?" Queen Merl asked.
"Leave that for me, I will handle him on my own way" Mera said and the Queen nods at her words.

Mera was sitting on her golden seat at the dining table where she dines with her family.
Besides her mum is not here now and that's because probably she wants to talk to Mezie alone and she was the one that requested for this moment.
Just in the door opens and they brought in Mezie with his legs and mouth tied up with chains.
And one of the guards attempted to unlock the chain but Mera stopped him.
"Don't worry yourself about that, I will do that by myself, just keep the keys on the table and leave" Mera ordered as the guards bows for her.
While Mezie stares around the dining which was looking so clean and the tables almost like it was made with something different but no, it was made with gold.
"Have your seat young chap" Mera said to Mezie who kept staring at her looking so deadly and Mera could sense that he is not happy.
And then she get up from her seat and steps closer to him and place her hand on his shoulders "Am sorry, I know that I have offended you but I'm just trying to offer you a better life"
"Don't mind what my mother said outside earlier I never brought you here to use your head as a restoration for anything"
"If that was what is in my mind then I don't think I could have brought you here, not after you saved my life, I could have allowed you to continue moving to your destination" Mera said as she picks up the keys from the table.
"And what happens when I unlocks the chains in your legs and hands, are you going to kill me? even if you are going to, at least I died trying to offer a poor boy a good life" 
She said as she unlocks the chains in Mezie's leg and then unlocks the one in his hands and finally unties the leather used to tie up his mouth.
And just slowly Mezie touches his mouth as he felt a sigh of relief and then looks at Mera.
"Kill me?" She asked as they stared at each other for a few seconds and then Mera gets up from her knees and seated on her special seat.
"Can you seat please?" Mera requested and Mezie did as she ordered, there are already well prepared meals at Mezie's front.
"You can eat because I know that you must be very hungry" Mera requested but he keeps staring at the food instead.
And Mera changes his food and give him her plate of food because she knows that the little boy maybe thinking that his food was poisoned or something like that.
And as soon as she changed the food Mezie began to eat hungrily.
"Mezie why don't you love to eat that everyday, I mean why don't you want to be respected among others? do you like being poor always? would you like to continue with a poor life?"
"Don't you want the people to bow for you wherever you passes, your reputation will spread all over the world as the first prince of Queens Town" Mera said but Mezie keep eating silently.
And then she watched him till he finished eating and cleaned up his mouth after he was filled up.
"Water?" Mera asked as she carried up the cup of water and Mezie nods and she handed it over to him.
"Thank you" Mezie said as he drinks to his fullest and keeps down the cup while Mera embarks on her discussion with him.
"So tell me, what is your choice?" Mera asked. "What choice?" Mezie asked as Mera bends her head in frustration.
"Such an arrogant young boy" Mera said.
"You shouldn't have brought me to this place because I have already told you my choice, am not ready to change my mind at any cost, Am sorry but Seldom is my destination" Mezie said and Mera took a deep breath.
"And my problem now is how you are going to get out of this place because the Queen won't allow it!"
"You was right after all, I shouldn't have brought you to this place" princes Mera said.
"Am sorry!" Mezie said but princess Mera interrupted immediately. "It's no longer about me but you Mezie" Mera said as Mezie gets up from his seat.
"While worry about me because I can exit Queens Town on my own at any minute or seconds, I can just call on the dragon so he would take me out of this place" Mezie said while Mera waves her head.
"Am sorry Mezie but we have the most powerful magicians here, if you ever dares to summon the Dragon, you will never leave here with it because they would take it away from you instantly with their magical enchantment" princess Mera said.
And that was when Mezie knew that he is in a very deep trouble.
"That means that I'm trapped here?" Mezie asked as Mera nods.
"But don't worry I will get you out of this place, come with me" Mera said as she grabs Mezie and they runs out of the dining and as they were just coming out of the dining room Meta pointed at the door at her left hand side.
"Follow that place and run down stares I will open the door for you when you get down!" Mera said and Mezie hurried down immediately.
And so Mera took her right hand and just stepping out of the passage she saw her mum standing besides the window.
"Have you spoken to the boy?" Merl asked. "Oh yeah I have, just give him some little time to make up his mind, but wait for me here am coming now" Mera said as she tries to hurry away.
"Isn't that the person you are looking?" Queen Merl asked as Mera turned and to her greatest surprised he saw the guards dragged Mezie in.
"Mum please..." she wanted to start begging but her Mum stopped her.
"How could you! you of all people! going against our own benefits! don't worry I will let him go but just like others who have attempted to gain freedom from our cells he will have to face our champion at the arena, so if he wins we let him go"
"And if he loses we then make use of his small head" Queen Merl concluded as she turns to the guards "take him away" Merl ordered the guards.
"Mum you are actually sending the kid on a suicide mission! how would you want a kid to fight a warrior that has never lost a fight!?" Mera asked almost with tears.
"Because that is what he seeks" Merl said as Mera become so frustrated.
"Alright mum hold me responsible for everything and just let him go!" Mera begs but her mum walks out of her presence.
"He faces our champion tomorrow and nothing will ever stop that" Merl said and walks away and then Mera knees down in tears feeling guilty of herself.
