Kaida walked over to the female butler and thought about what she had said. How did he changed? She looked up and asked
"you said the king had changed, how so? "
The female butler laughed
"I have known Huli since he was a little boy. He and Salmus always came with their fathers and then visited Cuan. Your cousin Kyro often visited too. As a child, he was aloof and did not laugh much. Nonetheless, the three were good friends, but the other two were delighted to get attention from the women in the villa. Huli didn't like it at all. Only when he got to know Tatsu did you see him laugh a lot. He started participating with the other two when they did mischief "
Kaida laughed and would have liked to see those three in childhood. Although she was also an heir to the throne, she never went with her father. This was because she preferred to receive combat training from her mother.
Her mother always let her father go as an envoy because her mother never really wanted the crown for herself.
"Your highness we have arrived"
She opened the doors of the villa and together they walked inside. As they walked through the hall, Kaida heard that it was getting noisy. When the female butler opened the door at the end of the hall, she let out a cry.
Kaida looked inside quickly and curiously. She saw that Jaya and Nana were lifting a mattress while Cuan's mother was giving directions where to put it.
On the other hand, she saw that Haya gave instructions to a few women about where the furniture should go. Salmus mother stood in the middle of the chamber, helping the other women to push the mattresses close together.
When everyone realized that the door was open, they all looked at the doorway.
Aimi Cuan's mother approached them. Cuan's mother was a tall slender lady of 1.80cm, she had long, thick black hair that stretched over her buttocks, her eyes a light brown color.
She thanked the female butler, who then left the chamber and closed the door.
"Wow Haya, Nuo and Eri, look I thought Kyona looked a lot like Katsumi, but look at her oldest daughter! It looks like Katsumi is here "
Haya rolled her eyes
"Katsumi was more beautiful, that's why Okuri gave her that wreath"
Nuo sighed
"Haya come on, that's something that happened in our youth. You know very well that Katsumi would not take Okuri from you "
Eri laughed
"Yes that's right! And if you hadn't suddenly changed places, he wouldn't have made the mistake of giving the wreath to Katsumi "
Kaida looked confused at the four women. What were they talking about? And she was surprised to hear Haya say her mother's name. The way she treated Kaida seemed like she wanted nothing to do with the people of the dragon tribe.
Aimi waved her hands and the other three ladies continued what they were doing. She took Kaida by the hand and led her to a chair
"Take a seat given your condition you do not have to help and you are already a few months"
Kaida looked around the chamber confused and wondered what the women were doing. Kyona walked towards her with a smile.
"big sister take the opportunity to change into your nightwear. The younger women want a girls' evening together before I get married. So we decided to turn the Chamber into a sleeping chamber using the mattresses "
While Kaida was changing in to her nighwear, a quarter of the women were following Haya's instructions to move the rest of the furniture out of the chamber.
another quarter of the women were laying down the mattresses according to the instructions of Aimi.
Another quarter of the women followed Nuo's instructions to provide all mattresses with blankets and pillows.
While Eri was busy with a quarter of the women providing enough drinks and snacks on the remaining tables.
After half an hour the four mothers looked satisfied at the end result. The entire room had been turned into a large sleeping chamber with enough space for the women to sleep. In addition, there was plenty to drink and eat.
Meanwhile Kaida , had changed and stood beside Kyona. Aimi clapped her hands happily and was smiling broadly.
"Well ladies, we from the old guard are retreating, just like the other older generation. I wish the women of the younger generation a lot of fun tonight and please don't make it too late for my future daughter-in-law "
Haya, Eri and Nuo were already walking to the door ready to retreat to their Chamber. While Aimi was still walking to Kyona and gave her a warm hug. When she did that, she followed the three women and together they left the chamber.
Jaya went to Kyona and took her hand and led her to the center of the mattresses.
"Since it's all about you, you're the center of attention tonight! What do you want to drink then I will grab it for you "
Since Kyona was a born and raised lady of the dragon tribe, it was not difficult to guess that she wanted something to drink that had a high alcohol content. After every woman was provided with drinks, they sat around Kyona.
"I don't understand what you actually see in my brother"
Everyone looked at the younger woman who started the conversation. The woman was slender and had thick long black hair with brown eyes. It was Cuan's younger sister who had asked the question. She was the a year younger than Kyona.
The women were also curious about the answer and looked at her while they were , waiting for Kyona to reply. Especially the women from the dragons, foxes and snake tribe wanted to know the answer, the women of the wolves tribe already knew how amazing their crown prince was.
Kyona blushed and looked shyly at the group of women around her. She shrugged and said
"Honestly, I don't know. When I heard the news, I also responded very casually as if it didn't bother me, but I cried myself to sleep that night. I thought it was unfair that I was not allowed to choose my own marriage as a person and that in the interest of politics a decision was made about my future "
A voluptuous lady with curly green hair and light green eyes nodded
"I understand you, although I now love my husband Kaën, there was no love between us. Even after the birth of our first child, it was more a good relationship than a love affair. I did what was required of me and I did it for my people. "
Kayra squeezed her hand
"Shuang it must have been tough for you, even though I don't know how it feels, I can understand it. Some children of the royal family unfortunately dont have th right to choose their partner."
Huan took a sip of her drink and also joined the conversation
"but how come you both fell in love anyway? Because it is clear to see that Shuang and Kaën have a happy marriage. In addition, it is also clear to see that Kyona and Cuan are visibly in love with each other. Isn't it better to rebel against the decisions of the elders and choose your own happiness? "
Shuang laughed
"little girl from the foxes tribe, its only just a little while longer and you will have reached the age of getting married. I suggest you grow up before that time. Everyone who is a member of the royal family has a duty to think in the interest of their people. Can you say with certainty that going against the decision of the elders is not a threat to the safety of our people? "
Kyona nodded
"I understand what you want to say Huan, but for the safety of my people I am willing to try and atleast meet the person who will be my future husband. Why do you think they announced it in advance? If you do not see any chance of success within that time, then you are free to make the journey to the Elders and speak your mind.
