Sections (Navigate sections)
The sun was setting on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the city of Kigali. The city was bustling with activity as the people of Kigali went about their daily lives.
In the midst of all this activity, two people were walking together, hand in hand. They were a young man and woman, both of whom were from different social classes. The man was a prince, while the woman was a commoner.
The two had met a few weeks ago and had quickly fallen in love. They had been meeting in secret, away from the prying eyes of the public.
But their love was forbidden. The prince was betrothed to another woman, and the commoner was not of royal blood. If their relationship were to be discovered, it would mean certain death for both of them.
But despite the danger, they could not deny their feelings for each other. They had to be together, even if it meant risking their lives.
The two of them walked through the streets of Kigali, talking and laughing, oblivious to the danger that awaited them. They were so lost in their own world that they did not notice the shadows that had begun to follow them.
Suddenly, the shadows revealed themselves to be a group of palace guards. They had been sent by the prince's father to find the prince and bring him back to the palace.
The guards surrounded the couple and demanded that the prince come with them. The prince refused, and the guards began to threaten the couple.
The prince and the commoner had no choice but to flee. They ran through the streets, trying to escape the guards. But the guards were too fast and eventually caught up with them.
The prince and the commoner were brought before the king. The king was furious that his son had been involved with a commoner. He sentenced the couple to death.
The prince and the commoner were taken away to be executed. But as they were being led away, the prince managed to whisper a few words to the commoner.
"No matter what happens, I will always love you."
The commoner was heartbroken, but she knew that their love was strong enough to survive even death.
The prince and the commoner were executed, but their love lived on. It was a love that spanned time, and it was a love that would never be forgotten.
