FINAL - Jealous Suitor Deceives the Princess

 #Jealous Suitor Deceives the Princess

Amidst the chaos of the aftermath and the finishing touches on the battle, Orizaba, driven by his own ambitions and jealousy, seizes an opportunity. Riding back to the village ahead of the victorious warriors, he arrives disheveled, his face a mask of feigned sorrow and urgency. Seeking out Princess Itza, who has been anxiously awaiting news of the battle, Orizaba delivers the devastating message.

"Princess Itza," his voice laden with false grief, "I bring dire news. The battle was fierce, and though we achieved victory, Popo has fallen. He fought bravely, but he is no more."

Itza stands frozen, her world collapsing around her at Orizaba's words. Shock pierces through her, disbelief clouding her mind as she struggles to comprehend the sudden loss. Her heart, once filled with hope and love, shatters into a thousand pieces. Grief washes over her in waves, overwhelming her senses and leaving her unable to grasp the reality of Popo's death.

In her darkest moment, Orizaba steps forward, his voice soft with false sympathy and a hidden agenda. "Itza, my dear princess," he says, his eyes feigning concern, "I cannot fathom your pain, but know that I am here for you. Popo was a brave warrior, but fate has dealt us this cruel hand. Allow me to comfort you in your grief. Together, we can find solace and strength."

His words, though seemingly consoling, carry an underlying desire to win Itza's heart for himself. With calculated gestures of comfort and unwelcome proximity, Orizaba seeks to fill the void left by Popo's absence with his own presence, hoping to manipulate Itza's vulnerability into affection. Yet, amidst her anguish, Itza senses a dissonance, a discordance between Orizaba's actions and the genuine love she shared with Popo.

For days, Itza remains immersed in her sorrow, wrestling with grief and grappling with Orizaba's persistent attempts to console her. The village, once alive with celebration, now echoes with the mournful cries of a princess robbed of her love, and a future shattered by deceit and tragedy.

#Death of the Princess

Consumed by sorrow, Itza withdraws from the world. She rejects nourishment, her body and spirit crushed by the absence of her beloved. The once radiant princess now walks as a ghost, her every movement a testament to her grief. Despite the relentless efforts of her family and friends to comfort her, Itza's despair only intensifies.

In her darkest hour, overwhelmed by anguish, Itza reaches a devastating conclusion. Convinced that life without Popo is unbearable, she tragically chooses to end her own life, hoping to reunite with him in the afterlife. Her decision casts a pall of sorrow over the village, her absence keenly felt by all who cherished her.

Her passing leaves the village draped in mourning, a poignant reminder of love lost and hearts broken.
