To the Military Ground!
Even the Queen looked at him with surprise hearing his agreeing without any hint of anger and hatred .
He had only calm expression when he said that . The nearby official looked at him with admiration and respect , Even through the first prince never killed people and no deep knowledge about the Forsaken land details he still agreed to go there without hesitation.
Maybe he understood the danger he is now , if he didn't accept the Order then the Queen will use this idea to kill him so that why he took this opportunity to escape from the Queen ? but pity both choice leads to dead end .
Aaron felt that this was tailor made opportunity to him . He was planning to escape the kingdom but he didn't know how to do that since he was prohibited to leave the kingdom . But now he can use this opportunity to escape and leave this kingdom once and for all .
The Queen returned back to her cold expression and said to him
"Since the Duke accepted the offer then he can get prepared to leave tomorrow but before that you can go select the Knight guards you like "
He bowed and said
"I thank the Queen for the generosity"
Some people mouth twitched hearing this because the Queen was indeed scheming against the first prince this time.
From first prince to Duke of forsaken place!
No matter how mighty the word Duke sounds is it can't be compared to the First prince authority .
Making him Duke as well as indirectly kicking out of royal family since no one is Duke from a royal family . Now Aaron have less authority and he was going to exiled to a land with no return .
Seeing him leaving the hall became rowdy but the Queen cold eyes made these people immediately silent .
The head of the people who rebel against her Is still hanging outside, so no one wanted to join there .
The expression of these people when they died made them nightmare whenever they sleep so that beheaded heads is warning for those who is rebelling against her Orders .
...
Another shocking news of the 'Sending' First prince to the forsaken land was widely spread around the kingdom which made many people speechless .
What sending to be a Duke of forsaken land ? That was same as sending him to death ! Even if he survives there! It's a exile and all his authority as well as his identity proof of Royal family would become meaningless .
The Queen was too ruthless even for her own family !
They knew that legendary place was no living place . There was too much legendary stories about it and all of them was terrifying that makes many brave people to think twice about going there .
Only the Ruthless people and Wanted Criminals will hide there since no one will care for that place .
Giving the title of Duke means he has to rule that land but giving him only a 50 Knights was too low since they have to fend both humans and animals there.
The Knights were above guards which proved that they have high strength and good strategy . Above the Knights , there is Imperial guardians who have triple strength but they only listen to the King/Queen of the Blaze Kingdom .
Some people who wanted to use Aaron as chess piece to create chaos become alarmed. By sending him there, these hidden forces couldn't control him at the royal family to start rebel .
After the ending of the Court hall , it was time for the royal family to have breakfast .
In the dinning hal ,
The Queen sat in the middle which was situated in higher ground than the other seats. Beside her sat the third princess and the second Prince while his distant relatives sat beside them leaving only a corner seat available for Aaron but he was not present there.
The Queen looked at the empty seat and became cold . The nearby maids served the dishes but no one started to dine because the Queen didn't even look at the dishes .
Some smart people immediately noticed the empty chair and tried using this excuse to create some problems .
"Why is not Aaron here?"
"Yes. How dare he makes the highness wait "
"Oh Sister in law you don't know ? Since Aaron is Duke now he isn't qualified to sit here "
"Oh that's why he is not here! "
"Yes atleast he had some sense in him"
"True"
The third princess didn't like how these people talk about Aaron but she couldn't say anything since they all are adults and old . So she could only become unhappy in her mind.
Soon the chit chat and gossip started but the Queen gave a cold snort which made these people pause .
She calmly said
"Since we all are here then let's begin"
"Yes your majesty"
Soon the dishes were served hot and soon they forget Aaron topic instead they talked about the other subjects .
....
In the military ground
This place was where Elite army train here and form squads . This place was entry for Royal family but Aaron who was Duke know couldn't enter here but now he had the Queen order he has to select 50 Knights so he can enter now.
Before coming here he already planned everything about his future. He will select a random Knights and leave Tommorow . After reaching mid way he will take the money with him and escape from there at any cost. He didn't want to go there so he will use this opportunity to escape . So he came here to select some strong men who can guarantee his safety from the bandits and vicious beasts.
But when he arrived , he was soon filled with speechless and loss of words .
There was three hundred plus people who were training in the field and when he came there all of them ignored him and continued their training as like they didn't notice at all.
Well this is awkward !
"So they don't even bother to acknowledge my existence ha ?"
