In a far away land across the sea there is a kingdom ruled by an old king. His name is King Ban and his wife Queen Luc. His kingdom is a big island that he has to set a time to visit his prople and know what are their needs and to find out how can he help them. He is very particular about the early education of children so he must see to it that all the children in his kingdom can go to school. They have free education from elementary to high school. In one of his tour of duty he left Queen Luk and their little Princess Oyra at the palace and he alerted his guards to be on guard while he was away. It was the second week when he is told to go back to the palace right away . He learned that the palace was attacked and his Princess Oyra was snatched by an unknown snatcher wearing a black mask and got away in an armored vehicle while the palace guards were sprayed with liquid gas to paralyze them. King Ban was totally devastated and he didn't do anything at all to pursue the .kidnappers. The people in his kingdom cannot do anything to help and pursue what has happened to Princess Oyra. That is two decades ago and King Ban look older of his age. People know that deep in his heart Little Princess Oyra cannot be erased by time so the King clandestinely send one of his loyal guards to serve as detectives in search of Princess Oyra. The only identification that he gave to identify his daughter was her picture when she was christened inside the basilica infront of the altar. He instructed the Best Royal Guard to go to their neighbor country which is ruled by his greatest enemy whom King Ban knew that this might be a revenge to him by King Boh to him being a rival to win Queen Luc's heart. It was a very harsh revenge to be punish like this. This made King Ban very unhappy. His hope lies to his two sons whom he was able to raise them with high education and helping him run his duties as a king. One is holding their business affairs with other countries that they rule over. His other son is the Commanding General of his Armed Forces. These two brothers Prince Oyca and Prince Oyma are also longing to see their sister. By all means they are trying their best to find their sister.. Prince Oyca being a businessman develop his business connection with other countries. He makes underground investigation about her sister's disappearance with people in the businessworld. What he is thinking is Princess Oyra might have been sold in the black market at a high price being a princess. Or the kidnapper might have been paid by a rich king to kidnap Princess Oyra. Another theory Prince Oyca is looking at she must be sent to school by the kidnapper and is now in the businessworld so Prince Oyca is trying to get to women's business circle and women's business professionals. Prince Oyca remembers when he met his classmate in high school telling him that he has a classmate who was introduce to him as a princess but Prince Oyca cannot accept this informayion. His sister was a baby when she was kidnapped how would she know that she is a princess only if the one who rai se her told her that she is really a princess. Prince Oyca didn't pursue to meet the girl. He doubted it . In his every day doing business he is hoping to hear a real story about her sister. Prince Oyma didn't lost a chance to find the whereabout of his sister like Prince Oyca. They would call each other from time to time to exchange information but they always end on a blank wall like they are stuck there not able to hear a lead or clue about their sister. Prince Oyma went as far as sending a whole platoon of his army to interview those whom they heard how their sister was abducted. There maybe an onlooker that night who could give a clue. One of the soldiers who able to know what kind of armored vehicle was used reached out to the company manufacturing the armored vehicle was not able to give any information even if that vehicle was registered in the island. Who knows if there was a ship that have transported the vehicle by sea. Prince Oyma is hoping that he could trace missing persons in the International Registry and there could be her sister's name who might havw been given by the kidnapper. The king's household has no idea at all about the motive of the kidnapper and in such case why did KIng Ban was so confident to leave baby Princess Oyra if ke know she is in danger? How would King Ban know that his enemy King Boh will take a revenge against him and that revenge hit his daughter , Queen Luc didn't think that King Boh can't accept his defeat. But why would he do that to an innocent child? If this becomes an unsolved case King Boh if he is the culprit will not serve in prison. Kidnapping is a crime. King Ban knows history will not be erase for his daughter Princess Oyra. It is his dream that Princess Oyra would also become a queen. It is hard to imagine that, they donot even know how Princess Oyra looks after twenty years . That makes KIng Ban and Queen Luk very sad . Where could she be? There only hope is the news that The Best Royal Guard coud bring. The last time that he came is that he was able to enter the Palace of King Boh when he applied as their chef. This is the only way the Best Royal Guard thought as the only way to get near to King Boh's family. In doing so he was able to know the members of the family. From the Head Housekeeper who lived with them for thirty years gave the Best Royal Guard the highest hope that he could find Princess Oyra. That day came when Princess Oyra came home for vacation at King Boh"s palace. She is stunningly beautiful. King Boh's household was very cautious to say anything about her but there was a leakaage about who she is when one of the children of King Boh said to her, " Do you know where your parents live?" It was like a hand bomb that hurled to her ears. She stood up from her seat and talking with a trembled voice , she asked, " Why? Are not King Boh and Queen Mah my parents? No one could answer her. That was the only clue the Best Royal Guard pick up inside the palace. He informed King Ban right away and negotiations ensued. It was agreed that King Ban and King Boh will meet at his private meeting room. Members of the family would be there. It is very important that King Ban will bring the picture of Princes Oyra at her Christening Ceremony their only witness that she is their child. At King Boh's private room the tense situation is being felt there may be even clenching of fists, maybe holding of tears by Queen Luk. King Ban may have hold his temper when King Boh said. " I took care of our daughter? " What do you mean?' King Ban asked. " Princess Oyra will tell all about it. Prince Borah my son loves your daughter since his childhood and the same with Princess Oyra, she also loves my son." The family of both parties cannot believe what they heard. The feelings of resentment anger and sadness was changed into joy. It is like a dark night that has turned into a bright daylight.
