Silent Princess
After the Dawa
girl finished telling the love story to Agudengba, Agudengba also told a love
myth.
Agudemba said:
Indians regard spring as the companion of the God of Love. Every spring, when
the God of Love comes, people go out for an outing. When admiration arises
between opposite sexes, they approach each other in a joking manner.
That spring, there
was an emperor named Chakrabuhuza. He had a young and beautiful daughter,
Princess Apolla. She grew up but never spoke a word.
The fame of the
silent beauty Apolla spread throughout the world, and many people dreamed of
marrying this beautiful princess. Yet her father swore that his daughter would
only marry someone who could make her talk. So, emperors and princes from many
countries came to the palace of Emperor Chakrabhuza and told wonderful stories
to the beautiful Apolla in an attempt to break her silence, but the princess
just listened without saying a word. . So many unlucky suitors had to go home empty-handed.
The emperor
Jefbuhuza who ruled the Trigalt Kingdom knew about this and decided to try his
luck, so he set off on a long journey. His journey was long and difficult.
After many days, he finally arrived at the palace where the silent princess Apolla
lived. The people in the palace welcomed Jevbuhuza with respect and led him
into the princess's embroidery room. As soon as the emperor of Trigalt saw her,
he immediately felt that his heart stopped beating under her spell!
"No matter
what, I have to tell a story to make her say even one word." Jeff Buhuza
made up his mind and started telling the story:
"In an
unknown country, there was a king. He had a wife who loved him very much. But
the king didn't believe it anyway, so he always wanted to test the queen. Once,
the king went out hunting and decided to send His own warriors took his clothes
back to the palace and stained them with deer blood. The decision was made and
he immediately put it into action. The warriors rode their horses back to the
palace and placed the stained royal clothes in front of the queen. Just as they
were about to report, How their monarch died fighting a tiger. But when the
queen saw the blood, she fainted immediately, and she died a few minutes later.
The warriors flew to report to the king the disaster that had just happened.
The king did not believe their words, thinking that the queen He planned to use
this method to test his loyalty. But after he returned to the palace and
confirmed that the queen was really dead, he was devastated. When the king was
in pain and despair, he planned to throw himself into the bonfire where the
queen's body was burned, and he and his wife They died together. When the
courtiers learned that their monarch intended to immolate themselves, they begged
him not to abandon them. But the king never changed his mind."
"The
courtiers carried the deceased queen and king to the river bank, where a
bonfire was lit. The king ordered everyone to retreat. Only one faithful dog
did not leave his master."
Exactly at
midnight, the couple Wenwa and Barvachi came down from Mount Kailas. Venva,
also known as Maharajva, and his wife Bharvachi are major gods in Hinduism.
It is said that
these two gods who lived on Mount Kailas happened to hear the cry of the king
while passing by the river bank. Balvaj felt pity for him and began to beg his
husband: "Great Maharaja! Please save this unfortunate king and free him
from suffering."
Wenwa could not
refuse the request of his beloved wife, so he went to the king and said: O man,
listen to me! Your queen died because her destined death day had come. But you
are destined to live in this world for another seventy years. I can bring her
back to life if you agree to give up half your life. However, you have to
remember that in this way, you will be aging for many years, while your wife
will become younger.
The king happily
agreed, and in an instant the queen came to life. She stood before her husband,
looking exactly like a sixteen-year-old beauty. The king immediately aged
thirty-five years. He embraced her tenderly and led her back to the palace.
Behind them is the faithful dog.
After walking for
a short time, the old king felt that his legs were tired. He sat down under a
tree, laid his head on the queen's lap, and fell asleep immediately. It
happened that at this time, a young handsome man, the son of a rich man, passed
by.
The rich man's son
looked at the beautiful queen and was immediately fascinated by her. He came
closer and saw the beauty's husband sleeping, and began to beg her: "Young
beauty! Are you willing to ruin your youth with this bad old man? I beg you to
run away with me. .You will get true happiness if you are with me."
The queen also
fell in love with this beautiful boy as soon as she saw him. She carefully
pushed away her sleeping husband, stood up and followed the rich man's son
willingly.
No matter how much
the loyal dog barked, trying to wake the king, unfortunately, he was never
woken up. Later the dog followed the two fleeing men in order to see where they
were fleeing. It followed them both until they entered a house, and then it
came back just in time for the king to wake up. When he saw that the queen was
not with him, he beat his chest in despair:
"My
beloved!" he cried, "how could you leave me? If we were destined to
be separated anyway, why did the god bring us back together again?!"
The dog ran to the
king to lead him in the direction where the queen and her lover were fleeing.
The owner couldn't figure out what the loyal dog wanted to do for a long time, but
in the end he understood it and followed it.
The dog led his
master to the door of the rich man's son's house. The king bribed his servants
and immediately found out who had kidnapped the queen. But what can the
abandoned husband do? In this city, no one listened to his orders, because the
kidnapper did not live in his country, but in a neighboring country. However,
the king was determined not to return home without taking revenge on the
evildoers. In order to realize his plan, the deceived husband went to the local
king and found a position.
One day, the young
queen saw her former husband from a distance and guessed his intentions.
"My
dear," said the young queen to her lover, foreigners who serve under their
monarch are your mortal enemies. Do you remember that the old man who used to
sleep under the tree was my husband? This foreigner is him. Go kill him before
it's too late, otherwise, our good deeds will be over! "
After the rich
man's son found out where the foreigner lived, he found him and said to him:
Respectable man, I have heard of your wisdom and kindness for a long time.
Please do a good deed and be my teacher! With no one to offer me wise counsel,
I had no idea how to survive. Please come to my home and you will understand
what kind of troubles are tormenting me.
The old king was
very wary at first, but then he thought that this was a good opportunity for
revenge that fate had arranged for him. So he agreed to go to the house of his
hated enemy.
The rich man's son
dug a deep hole in his garden in advance. When they passed by, he pushed the
old man into the hole, filled it with soil, and then ran back and told the
young man everything. the queen.
But the deceived
husband is not destined to die. This was all thanks to the faithful dog who
followed his master, clawed at the dirt with his paws, and dragged him out of
the pit. The old king gradually regained his consciousness, and he was furious!
He took out a sharp knife from his waist, walked quietly to the side of the
house, and hid behind the open door. He didn't wait long when the rich man's
son remembered to see if the hole had been filled with soil. As soon as the
king saw him, he cut off his head with one stroke of his sword. The queen heard
the shouting and ran out of the house. In his rage, the king grabbed her hair
and raised his knife at her, but the young beauty began to beg him
submissively:
"Great King!
Please spare me, this unfortunate woman. I have always loved you only. This
villain used violence to force me to go with him. At that critical moment of
life and death, I once shouted to you desperately. But No matter how I shouted,
no matter how I called for help, you still didn't wake up. Thank God, we are
together again, and now no one can destroy our happiness!"
As she spoke, she
cried and fell at the feet of her old husband. Can a king not trust the woman
he loves? What can the queen do now? She had no choice but to accept her fate.
However, she was filled with hatred in her heart, and she decided to vent her
resentment on the dog, because she believed that the dog was the culprit of all
disasters. The queen swore to herself that she would die by the same man, and
in the same way as her lover.
After some time,
the king took the queen and his loyal friends and set off for his homeland. After
walking for a day, they stopped for the night in a village. Towards midnight,
the queen pretended to be seriously ill, unable to moan and panting, as if she
had fallen into the arms of death. As long as it can alleviate her pain, Lao
Wang is willing to do anything.
"Dear! What's
wrong with you?" The old king was so sad that he kept asking the woman who
liked to cheat. "Tell me, what can I do to help you?"
"My dear
husband! I am going to die. I also suffered from this disease when I was in my
parents' house. I remember that it was my father who saved my life at that
time. He smeared my body with dog blood. This is the only way to bring me back
to life."
"Don't worry,
my dear!" cried the king, "I will surely find a dog and bring you its
blood."
"Oh! I feel
that I can only live a little longer," the queen groaned. "It's too
late to find another dog. It seems that your dog is more valuable to you than
your wife." Ah. Farewell! I hope God is merciful and allows us to meet
again in the next life!"
"After saying
these words, the treacherous woman rolled her eyes and sighed longly, as if she
was dying. At this time, the old king immediately took out his knife and
beheaded the loyal dog, which had been more than Saved his life again and
again..."
As soon as Jeff Buhuza
finished speaking, Princess Apolla shouted and then spoke:
"Oh, how
stupid this king is! Doesn't he understand that his wife is a treacherous
liar?..."
After Princess
Apolla finished speaking these two words for the first time in her life, the
princess burst into tears of pity.
Thus Emperor
Jevbhuza induced the silent princess Apolla to speak, and thus became her
betrothed by the right of the victor. Apolla happily put a wedding braid on her
fiancé. The astrologers selected a date for the wedding, and Jeff Bhuza and
Princess Apolla got married.
Once, Jeff Buhuza
said to his beloved wife:
"You see how
cunning women can be! You remember my story, in which I told you of a queen,
and how quickly she became ungrateful!"
"My beloved
husband! It's a pity that men are also good at being ungrateful. Didn't that
old king just kill his loyal dog without thinking about it?! And how many times
did that dog save his life and protect his family? His fame! I advise you never
to forget this story."
Jeff Buhuza smiled slightly and nodded to his
wife in agreement. Afterwards, the couple grew old peacefully and happily.
