King..i can’t believe that you are the one saying those words.alright just sit down we will tell you every thing you need to know.

Me..alright am all ears.
My father started)

it was twenty years ago when i wanted to be crown king.i had no much money on me.and according to our tradition before someone become a king the person must be financial stable.so doing that period i wasn’t financia okay.it was my turn to be the king and if i didn’t get the amount the tradition required i won’t be crown king.and they threathing to take the kingship away from me if i didn’t get the money on so so so date.i was dumpforded. i didn’t want to missed the kingship so i went to my very good friend he was a business man and a millionare then. (juliet dad.)to see if he could help me out with some money.and i promise to pay him back once i became the king.after laying my complain to him. he agreed to help me but on one condition. (he pause.then i asked him what was the condition i asked my dad.)you were ten years old then and he has three daughters.and the condition was that my son.(which is you.)will marry one of his daughters which happend to be JULIET.so i asked him why must my son marry your daughter?that if you grow up you will like to choose your our wife by yourself.but he replied that he will like one of his daughters to be the princess.that i must pushud you to marry one of his girls.i didn’t go with his condition for the first place.but i was giving the dead line by the traditional elders to present the necessary things that are require for the crowning of the king.i had no place to get the money.and i had no choice than to meet my friend now the deputy governor of the state.we agreed on his condition before he was able to help me with the money.i bought the necessary thing for the kingship and i was crown the king. 11 months ago.when you just came back from cannada.he visited me and reminded me about our agreement and i did’nt want to fail my promise to him.

So my son that was the reason why i wanted you to marry juliet(on hearin this i was angry with juliet’s dad for giving my dad such condition .and at the same time i felt pity for the old man actually it wasn’t his fault.but they would have told me than to keep it with there self.then i asked him..

Me..but dad i want to asked you.when you finally became the king.did you still pay him back the money that you lend from him.

King..yes i paid him back.but if not for condition that he gave .he wouldn’t have gave me the money.so i have to keep the promise that i made to him.that was the reason why we want you to marry juliet.irrespective of her behaviour.
Me..this is unfair dad.you paid him his money back and he still want you to keep the condition that he gave you.twenty years ago.why is some people so heartless and wicked.(my people judge this.is that fair?
