While traveling to the kingdom of Austro, Elizabeth and her escort passed through various portals and villages until they finally arrived at the central city of Austro known as Austro central. The journey took five days.
Finally they got to Austro central,and the people of the kingdom were already jubilating and celebrating the arrival of the king's wife. The road to the palace were covered with flowers and crowded with people who wanted to see the new queen's carriage passing.
Inside the carriage, Elizabeth could see the people cheering and praising her. It seemed like the whole kingdom came out to welcome her according to tradition,when a queen is chosen the whole kingdom rejoices.
The sounds of trumpet and music could be heard from a distance, Elizabeth wanted to look out but she quickly remembered that her face wasn't supposed to be seen by the people not until the king sees her first,not even the king's wives were supposed to see her before the king does.
On arriving at the palace gate,the crowd had already died down and there were fewer people to welcome her. The palace guards bow as the carriage went into the palace compound.
"We have arrived my queen"the leader of Elizabeth escort said to her. The palace was big and tall,built with shinning stones and bronze diamond,it was more like a castle.
"Who is going to welcome us?" Elizabeth asked
"The royal family my queen"The leader of Elizabeth escort replied.
Elizabeth knew that the royal family could only be the king and queens and it was inevitable for her to meet them but all of a sudden the thought of seeing them was making her a little nervous.
She heard that the king normally don't welcome his queen, rather he sends his wives to welcome her and prepare her according to tradition. This however was a relieve for Elizabeth,she honestly wasn't ready to meet her husband as she had never seen him before but only heard stories of him.
The carriage stopped and Elizabeth slowly came down from it. Four beautiful women wearing royal gowns and jewelry stood at the palace door,they were the king's wives who had come to welcome her. Each of them had a maid standing beside them.
"My queen" All the guard bowed to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth stood her head up high and walked with royalty towards the rest queen,she knew that they were all closely watching her ready to mark any of her flaw.
Just as she was making her way to the other queen,she noticed that the king was not present, Elizabeth smiled within but that smile disappeared immediately the palace door was open and the king walked out with two guards by his side and his council behind.
Everyone was surprised to see the king. Even the queens wore a surprised look on their faces. Was the king too impatient to meet his queen. Some of the king's wives immediately became jealous that the king gave the new queen this much attention.
"My king"
Elizabeth bow, immediately the king came close.The other guard bowed as well. King Arthur walked closer to Elizabeth and gesture her to rise. Carefully he removes the veil covering Elizabeth face.
Elizabeth beautiful grey coloured eyes stared blankly at the king,but managed to give a bright smile.
"Beautiful" The king spoke."I've being expecting u. Daughter of the kingdom of Auhti,your beautiful is indeed like an angel. And yet I thought there was non others as beautiful as my wives" the king praised Elizabeth. She blushed.
"Thank you my king,you are not bad your self"Elizabeth complimented. The king smiled in satisfaction.
"Have you meant my queens" King Arthur led Elizabeth to where the rest queen stood,with a jealous face.
"Meet my beloved flowers, Queen Violet,Queen Anna, Queen Lisa and Queen Jasmine"
"I thought you had six wives your majesty" Elizabeth asked. The king looked around to notice that they were actually four of his wives that were present. He frown, noticing the frown on the king's face Queen violet queen spoke up" The queens are not so well your majesty,they really wished to be here but couldn't. Am sure they would be fine before dinner,your majesty"
The atmosphere around became cold,the king was obviously not happy that the queen defied the tradition. Possibly they assumed that he was going to be around to witness their absence."Ensure that they will." The king said and away with a cold face.
As soon as the king left the atmosphere became normal. Queen violet turned to Elizabeth with an irritated look before walking away with her maid as well, Elizabeth was further surprised. Had she always made a foe?
The remaining three queens didn't seem to be bother,it appeared to them as if nothing had happened.
"Your name is Elizabeth right?" Queen Anna spoke first with a smile on her face. Elizabeth slowly nodded unsure if to speak or remain silent.
"Am Queen Anna,nice to meet another junior queen like myself"she said giving Elizabeth a surprised hug.
"Junior queen?"Elizabeth asked
"Yes" Queen Lisa responded"Am queen Lisa,the king's fourth wive"
"And that's queen jasmine,the king's Fifth wives but she's the shy one and am the king's sixth wives"queen Anna said.
"It's nice to meet all you." Elizabeth said.
