Breaking the agreement!
It was Morning and the assembly of the court started . There were tons of reports and orders to fulfilled so the original hall was filled with argument and mumbling until the arrival of the Queen .
"WE GREET THE MAJESTY"
The hall was soon filled with silence and all the official who was arguing each other stood up and became quiet .
The Queen arrived with her natural cold face and dignified aura around her which made many people hard to breathe properly.
Seeing her arriving everyone bowed in respect and fear while saying loudly
"WE GREET THE MAJESTY"
The Queen arrived in front of the throne and sat there elegantly . She looked around the court hall and said with cold voice
"Everyone no need for formalities "
All the official thanked the Queen and sat in their respective seats while daring not to look at her eyes directly.
She looked at the high officials and said
"What's the today matter?"
One of the middle aged man immediately stood up and bowed his head while saying in one breath
"Your majesty the Billon family is requested to have audience with your excellency and they are waiting outside"
Hearing this the Queen was clearly surprised but soon her cold expression returned .
The Billon family was the under the rule of their royal family and this family was second only to Royal family so they have quite bit of power which made her treat them with some sincerity.
She said to the guards
"Let them in"
After a few second a old man and young lady arrived which attracted her attention . The old man was the butler of the Billon family and the lady should be the first daughter of the Billon family head.
As soon as they arrived inside , both of them bowed and said with utmost sincerity tone
"WE GREET THE QUEEN "
The Queen closed her eyes and said with indifference
"Why you wanted to meet with this Queen ?"
The Young lady immediately said while still bowing her head .
"Your majesty We are here to express some important matter"
Hearing this some official who had some information immediately guessed something which made them surprised.
The Billon family was the first supporter for the First prince Aaron and there was even a agreement path of marriage made by the old king and the future head of the billion family .
But Now the First prince didn't become king and he has no support which made the Billon family to rethink their decision .
The marriage pact of The Eldest daughter Tina Billon and First prince Aaron was to be engaged when he become king and the Tittle Queen would become to Tina . This was the agreement made when Aaron was born but now this agreement was not that valid.
Since Aaron failed to become king then this agreement was invalid so the arrival of Billon family didn't made them that much surprised.
The Queen who was also heard about this said in cold tone
"And what's that important matter is ?"
Tina slowly raised her head and slightly said with hesitation
"Your majesty , We request your highness to break the Marriage agreement Between Me and The first prince"
As she said that the hall was complete silence.
To Dare breaking the arrangement of the royal family is leading to slapping the royal family face in public . The royal family reputation would become a joke to the citizen so the royal family won't hesitate to kill every member of the Billon family from fury .
But the Billon family was not that weak too since they have some control of armies and business development in the captial so the Royal family didn't want to kill this golden egg laying chicken for this reason so some people waited for Tian to speak everything .
Seeing the Cold look from the Queen , Tina immediately said with panic while the butler was sweating heavily.
"Your majesty Since we are the fault here . We are willing to accept any punishment and For compensation we will give the royal family a 500 mid tier weapons with 1000 slaves and a 100-Year longevity medicine"
When the people heard the rewards everyone couldn't help But take a deep breath .
As expected from the wealthy family they can casually give this generous compensation easily.
Forgot about the 1000 slaves , The 500 mid tier weapons will be sufficient for the royal family to accept the deal and what more the 100-Year longevity medicine which can save one life is too much precious and no sane man would refuse this type of compensation.
Even the Queen face became surprise from hearing the reward. She couldn't help but say in cold tone
"Oh your family ready to pay that much price ?"
Tina hurriedly nodded their head in seeing the intrest from the Queen. She hurriedly said with a smile
"Your majesty as long as The marriage agreement is invalid we will be willing to pay this price to your highness".
The high officials now understood her true intention.
Since the first prince Aaron failed to become the King and a new Queen appeared which already solidified her rules is not worth to offend for a Dethroned king so they ultimately gave up on him . And no one will keep the first prince Aaron alive after the Queen claimed the throne. Maybe she will secretly kill him and blame it on others . Because no one will dare to leave their opponents alive after claiming the throne , who knows they might rebel and kill him at night without any warning ? that's why every Royal family in kingdom would silence their opponents after claiming the throne so The Billon family thought that The new Queen was same too and she may soon kill Aaron ?.
That's why they wanted to break this marriage arrangement and indirectly telling the Queen that we don't have any relation with Aaron .
And the compensation was given to Queen not the victim First prince Aaron which made many people shook their head in understanding the ruthless of this move.
The hall was silent and everyone was waiting for the judgement from the Queen.
After a minute the Queen slowly but her statement many people became cold blooded and alarmed.
This women was too ruthless to her own nephew.
"Very well I'm satisfied with your family head Compensation but the punishment should be must. Tell your Future head to reflect in his house for three months"
Just a three month house arrest ?
And you even accepted the Compensation ?
Did you think about anything your nephew ? You already took everything in his life already!
The Queen didn't even ask permission from the First prince Aaron before making this decision . And this compensation should be given to the Aaron not to the royal family since his reputation was going to get ruined.
But no one said anything in front of the Queen . Some felt that the Queen was too ruthless in this decision so they wanted to say something but they were stopped and told not to meddle this affairs.
Hearing the judgement from the Queen , Tina and the butler bowed in excitement and repeatedly thanked before leaving the palace.
