Daskon episode 7 recap

Ha exams are over but have another sociology assignment ahhaaaa ya I'm busy and I have a rocky internet connection without any cash I wouldn't be able to recharge:-( I am right now reading Chimamenda Ngozi Adichie's latest book Americanah and will write a review of it within this week. Anyways let's get to the review and guys/machangs pls pray to your various gods to help all the people with Ebola and to let it not spread.

The ministers are speaking after the Prince Kunndasaly ( I'm so sorry guys the Crown Prince's name is not Pundasala it sounded solo similar I'm soo sorry about that mistake). The good minister states that just because one King takes a Queen from India doesn't mean all Kings should. It doesn't mean that it should be the tradition of the Kandyan kingdom. "You as the Maha Adikaram has the duty to protect this kingdom in this rare occasion where there is no King in the Kandyan Kingdom." The good minister continues to warn "One day these Waduga people in that particular(can't remember the name) street will one day become a problem to out country" could he be any more truer?

Sad song in the background. We see the Prince all alone and the song in the background has the following meaning "Is this palace a prison Kunndasaly, these traditions are your jail guards. I will never be able to live as I wish." With this the Prince goes to his table and starts to write a letter in poem form. This he recites beautifully as follows:
This palace it a dark place and the only light that it had was you

Our dreams will not happen Mí manike ( sweetheart)
Only when you come to be with me
Will there be light in my life and the palace
The sun will rise in the Sankadagala hills only when
Mí manike(sweetheart) comes to be my wife
But destiny has said otherwise.
( this is in my own words not exactly as sung by the Prince but same meaning)

This is soo sweet and sad. This scene really makes you really sad and shows how much sacrifices a Prince has to make to be a good King he can't even choose whom to fall in love with. He loves the noble lady really and you could that love in the Prince's eyes. This is soooo sad.
Daskon comes running into the room and the Prince gives him a letter and says that this should be sent through a messenger but he thinks the noble lady should get the message through Daskon and the prince gets emotional and his voice cracks a little. Daskon understands the deep trust the Prince has on him. He leaves to Matala to give the letter to Monaragala Wallawa( I think that name also I miss named.sorry)
The sad poem song starts again and just thinking of the noble ladies reaction makes you soo sad their relationship will have no hope - this is so sad and you feel like crying thinking of what their future could have been.

"I will not be able to live without your love and the palace would remain in darkness without you in my life."

Daskon thinks well a lot of messengers could come and go with this letter many times before the Queen arrives and so he stops to write in his journal. He questions everything and why the love affair was not allowed when live is such a strong emotion ( ironic you'll see in the future why)
Daskon writes how a genetic orphan takes a letter to Matala to statue that it will not have a privilege of getting a Randoli/Queen from there.

The noble lady and the servants are caring loudly. The servants when questioned point out that they are caring because the Prince couldn't see the lady before the King died. The noble lady gets so pissed off and kicks the servant away ( in real life the actress who is the servant who always sings is the Prince's elder sister). The servants point out that there is nothing to worry as if the Prince Gabe up on here there are other noble men who will want to marry her. The lady screams and says everything that could possible happen has happened to me and you take the Prince's side that mirror over there knows about me more than any of you.

So all the servants go near the mirror and point of and says this is not like a magic mirror in fairy tales to tell these kindsy of things. What I feared has happened. The lady has looked in the mirror in the earlier episodes to see if she is pregnant. She says the Queen will need a palace and a marriage to make love by to a real lover anything will do. She had believed in the Prince and she gave eherself to him and the servants are shocked.

We have another sad song sung by the servant who sings and we see a flashback on how the Prince carried the noble lady away. So sad this is such a sad episode.
Daskon somewhere in the forest is yet questioning why life is what it is. To be continued next Saturday......
