Daskon - Episode 2 recap
So how is the weekend guys ....I have a huge answer for literature to write:-) doesn't sound fun ha? Well now its time for a Daskon recap:-)
Well the day starts of with the Crown Prince going to the palace on a urgent meeting. Daskon is with the Prince and they meet up with the ministers its seems like bad news...and it is - what a surprise...
The main minister tells the Prince that the King is dying and we can see that the prince is in shock and he takes awhile to grasp what's been said.The Prince tells the minister "let me meet my father the King." The minister says according to the tradition of the Kandyan Kingdom this is impossible. The Prince looses his temper he screams "what traditions" and hits one of the vases in the Palace and it crashes to the ground. The ministers are pretty freaked out the Prince seems like he is loosing it and what do you know we see tears steaming down his cheeks and he is sobbing and silently saying I want to see my father. He leans against Daskon and tells him "write this in your report/book..write that this is the first and the last time the Crown Prince cried."The ministers point out that according to the Kandyan tradition the people outside the palace should only know that the King is in critical condition. I believe this is mainly because the country will be in chaos as the Portuguese are invading and having strong hold around Sri Lanka's coastal areas. The Prince turns to a minister who is on his side and yet says he wants to see the kings body. The minister says the main minister will take his near the kings body but the Prince can't look or touch it since its against traditions.
The Prince sees his father from far and later in his room Daskon can hear the Prince crying and there Daskon writes that this is the first and last time the Prince is going to cry.
In the Palace all representatives of the people gather in the Palace halls and they are told the King is in critical condition and that since they should be ready for anything they are going to decide who the next King should be. One representative says the Crown Prince should be King everyone starts whispering its seems some don't like the Prince. However the the minister says the Crown Prince shall be named the King as there is no objections. Everyone is silent and suddenly a booming voice says "I object!" This man names himself the eldest son of the King and that the Crown Price is his younger brother therefore he the rightful owner of throne. Again all the representatives start to scream out some say he should be King others say the Crown Prince should be King.
Ths eldest son is fat and is always eating and I don't like him.
The Crown Prince says he wants to the Queen who was sent out of the main Palace to the outer one and she is not allowed to come to the main Palace so the Prince says "I will go and see my mother." There we see the Prince is sleeping on the Queens lap and we see a sweet mother and son moment where the Prince asks if he is a sinner since he couldn't be there at his father's last moments.The Queen tells him the King loved him and the last time she saw him the King asks if representatives went to India to get a Princess for the Prince from Southern India accordind to tradition of the Kandyan Kingdom. The Prince got a shock when the Queen says his uncles already went to India to find a suitable Princesss. We end with the Prince saying "Mother!"
My thoughts:
So far I like the story its going to be war when the Princess comes and with that eldest Prince claiming the Crown....oh can't wait for next week but since this is a true story its scary to see the end:-)
