With each passing day the news spreaded like wildfire and it became everyone's hot topic of discussion. They would discuss how the royal family would uphold this situation. Will the gudong family agree for the fulfilment of bet or would they fight against the decision of royal family. If they fight how much force, the royal family would use to demolish the gudong family, and so on. The younger guys has different discussion topics which prince will she marry and lot of other thoughts. Girls who were fan of her were worried. Girls who were jealous were laughing in secret and were cursing her weirdly. some girls curses were weird to the point it was funny, curses such as, on her marriage day, her hair would burn, her figure should be the least in comparison to prince's other concubines. The curses were more like they are complaining why she is so beautiful and they are not.
In a week another news spreaded that on the, once in a decade celebration day, the king has called for a meeting of all the upper echelons of fire kingdom, to decide in the matter of miren and the prince's concubine.
This made some people excited, some nervous & some puzzled. Puzzled because, the king could have called for the meeting anyday but why did he called it on the celebration day. With various thoughts and discussions roaming in the kingdom time flew by and the day of annual celebration came.
The whole kingdom was decorated there were decorations on the gates,on the houses even the border walls were decorated. The celebration day is celebrated for the fact that this day marks the establishment of fire kingdom.
Although the kingdom can always be seen as a well lit up area but today one can see a fire phoenix screeching in the sky and roaming throughout the whole kingdom.This fire phoenix is actually the protective formation of the fire kingdom. Many outsiders were in awe seeing this scene. Amongst the vagabonds there were people who were attending it for the first time and there were people who have attended it before but be it new or old, all were in awe of this visual. The kingdom is open for every one, so as long as they maintain the rule.
Representatives of the surrounding kingdoms has also come. Some people took this as an opportunity to show their descendants talents, some to show their looks. All in all, the upper class has some agenda to come here unlike the vagabonds who were there just for fun and enjoyment.
At the kings palace,
The palace was full of liveliness, everyone was exchanging the greetings, the youngsters were having the chats about magic and martial arts.
Some good looking guys were trying to befriend talented females. Pretty looking and hot girls were trying to befriend talented males. Those who were pretty, or hot, yet talented among the girls, and handsome yet talented, among the boys were trying to befriend each other. Events like this were opportunities to pick up the ladder and rise through it. So only those who have either quality came to the event.
At this time the king raised the toast and adressed everyone,
"Thankyou, everyone, for accepting our invitation to be a part of our joy and celebration. I am grateful for our forefathers to conducted things so well that although we are competitive individuals we still live in harmony and peace. I hope this status quo would always remain the same. For the wellness of our people and our land, lets raise a toast", said the king
and gulped the wine in one go,
After the king everyone raised a toast and gulped the wine as well. At this time when every upper class individual gulped the wine down only 5 people did not gulped the wine.
After the toast everyone continued what they were doing. Everyone was enjoying the evening except two peoples. One of them was the recently renowned miren, and another is her father. Well they have enough reasons, to not enjoy. Miren was continously looking here and there. There were three reasons for her behaviour one she was afraid of the situation going out of their hands and second she was thinking of the escape routes and third she was comparing others beauty and hotness with respect to her. Others also has gazes on her, the girls were comparing, The boys were lusting and those who knew of the other objective of event were visualising what will proceed. Initailly all the royal childrens were sitting with the king but after the toast, they all left their seats and mingled with their subordinates. With the royal family joining. The already lively place became bustling. Prince's started wooing the talented and beautiful females and princesses started wooing the talented and handsome males. Leaving only one person sitting alone in the corner with his two subordinates.
He was sitting in the balcony, the moonlight would amplify the hansomeness and shining of his aura. His gaze is too calm, he is not bothered by this loneliness, nor by the enjoying crowd. Although there would some occasional glances from the girls who knew of him, but that too would be of pity. The contenders of crown would occasionally look at him and feel satisfied with his lonely and desolatedness. Even the crown prince the strongest of all the prince would look at him with mockery.
"Master there are some hateful gazes coming towards us, should i note their scents and beat them later",asked one servant
"Hahah, its natural if they have such gazes, it would be weird if they did not", Said the prince
"Master one day i would make them pay for these hateful gazes", said the servant.
"Well for some you dont have to wait that longer, after some time the crown prince will have a face, like um.. like the face you make when you eat a fly while runing, by mistake", said the prince jokingly
"Huh.. woaaah.., master dont remind me this otherwise i will puke", said the servant with an ugly face
"Alright, go have a drink", the prince stopped joking and said
"Aah..hehe..., will they stop me master", asked the servant quitely
"Although in name, but i am still the prince. They won't be that outrageous atleast here. You go and have something as well shadow", Said the prince
"Yes lord", said the other servant
