Chapter 41 - King of the Dwarven Kingdom

It didn't take long for Selda to drag Daedalus all the way to the castles door and inside when the servants saw who she was. As Selda and Daedalus entered a servant yelled out with excitement "Young miss has returned!"

This got Daedalus to just except everything around him while thinking 'Am I stupid or something, my dad is a crown prince, obviously my mother would have a similar status.' before face palming. Selda heard the light slap and turned to Daedalus and began laughing at his face palming before saying "I see that you have figured it out hahaha. I am the crown Princess of the dwarven kingdom!"

Daedalus smirked before saying "So basically I am the best of both kingdoms?"

"Silly boy. Okay come with me you want to meet your gramps don't you?"

Daedalus smiled and said "Of course."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a surprising amount of getting lost throughout the massive and beautiful castle Daedalus and his mother had finally made it to his grandfather's study room. Walking in Daedalus felt slightly intimidated as on the opposite side of the room there was a shorter looking man that somewhat took on the characteristics of a mountain and although he was rather short compared to Daedalus' father, he was still much bigger than Daedalus.

This feeling however was almost immediately discarded when the man saw Selda glaring at him for trying to intimidate Daedalus, he began to look like a dying rat for a second before regaining his bearings and saying "You must be my grandson, come give me a hug!"

Daedalus heard this and began feeling uncomfortable however that was almost completely gone when his mother said "You stupid old man, behave normally for once!"

Daedalus then started laughing however after a quick glare from his mother he stopped and she said "Okay I think you should be able to know most everything now."

Daedalus' grandfather just nodded and she continued "Okay you may have already guessed but I am the crown Princess of the Dwarven Kingdom. Me and your father fell in love when our parents had met up to play tag or something I can't remember, either way our fathers are the best of friends and with how often we met with eachother we fell in love. There is one big problem though, to our knowledge elves can have only one child, so when you inevitably become the crown prince of both kingdoms we will need to merge the two in some way so that no-one can say no. In other words we may have screwed you over slightly with a next to impossible job, of course we will help you but the noble will definitely be a problem. Do you have any questions or ideas that might just help us all?"

Daedalus' lip was twitching the whole time however he did have an idea "How about striking them in secret maybe kidnap their kids and descendents so that they need to listen to us or we could just start building a new capital in-between the two kingdoms borders and when it is complete we can all move in and say 'By the way, this is one kingdom now!'"

Selda was standing there with her mouth wide open but eventually said "I liked the second idea more. Father let's get to work!"
