The Anouncement ~
The next day at the palace,the king called for a royal meeting. All the seven king's from the seven province in the kingdom were to be present in the meeting.All relatives of the royal family are also supposed to honour the king's royal meeting.
The meeting was to be held at the palace great hall. Were the king's throne was placed and seven other specially decorated minor set were arranged besides the king's throne for the Queen's.
This was going to be Elizabeth first public appearance with the king as his wife and not as his bride. For that reason Elizabeth was given a proper and thorough attention.
The king had ordered the finest dresser to dress the queen and the finest makeup artist to enhance Elizabeth beauty to make her look exceptionally beautiful for the royal meeting.
Elizabeth felt touched by the king's affection towards her as she glanced at her self in the mirror. She was putting on a long baby pink gown that had embroidery detailedly decorated on the dress like the pattern of a flower. The gown covered most parts of her body,and the material made to cover her shoulders down to her hand was also a pink linen that looks like a net that made her bare skin visable.
Already having a beautiful face, Elizabeth was give a very light and simple make up. Her hair was neatly weaved and styled such a way that Elizabeth had a few strands of hair falling besides her eyes.
Kira walked into the dress room holding Elizabeth crown."My Queen look so pretty" Kira praised placing the crown on Elizabeth hair.
"Indeed. I feel so privileged to be your makeup artist,my Queen" everybody in the room nodded in agreement including Kira.
Elizabeth smiled warmly, Elizabeth had being thinking about all that happened the previous night. She couldn't tell anyone not even Kira. She didn't know whether it was something to tell Kira or jasmine. Elizabeth concluded that she would have to wait to meet her parents, then will she speak up.
"Is any thing the matter?"Vivan who was Elizabeth makeup artist asked. She noticed the change of mood in Elizabeth. Kira also saw the look on Elizabeth and felt the need to ask.
" My Queen are you feeling alright? Is the dress too heavy or the crown? should I..."Kira began asking Various question to know what had mad the queen to look a little bit off.
"No,am fine. And stop calling me my Queen,I don't like it when you call me that"Elizabeth gave Kira a smile. " Even you Vivan. You both sounds too fomal"
"But we can't,you are the king's wife and our Queen" Kira tried to option out "But still I insist. It gets a little bit lonely here sometime with almost everyone treating me like god"
"But the king will behead us if he fines out"one of the many maid's in the room said in fear.
"I insist. Ok let's do this,you get to call me by my name when no one is around" the maid and dresser didn't seem to agree to the queen request. Suddenly someone knocked at the door and inform them that it's time for the queen to come out and walk side by side with the king into the great hall.
Elizabeth gave herself a final glance in the mirror. "Am ready"she breathe in and left the room.
All invited guest were patiently waiting at the great hall. They all sat down according to their Various statues before the royal butler loudly announced the entry of the king and his wives. Everyone stood up and bowed as the king walked steadily and majestically towards his throne with Elizabeth by his side and his wives behind.
"Long live his majesty and her majesties" the crowd said in chorus before taking their sits.
"I appreciate you all for honouring my invitation to the palace. It was an urgent one and am glad you all still responded with immediate actions. Well the reason for this meeting is one that has to do with this realm,our people and our kingdom." King Arthur spoke with a deep powerful tone.
"We all can very much recall the tragic death of my mother,The Queen and how she sacrificed her life to protect me from my father" there was sad look amongst the gathering. Everyone was aware of how the great queen died inorder to save her son, Arthur,it was a tragic lose to all the kingdoms.
"No matter how we have tried to protect ourselves from the evil king My father somehow he still tries to find a way to harm"Little wispher started going around the hall, Elizabeth saw her parents smiling brightly and proudly at her,she wished she could talk to them but she knew she needed to be patient for the right time.
"My king" a man stood up from the Etric tribes "what news have you received, please do not hesitate to tell us".
King Arthur eyes turned dark and scary, looking at the crowd he sat lazy on his throne and spoke "Few months ago,I began having strange dreams,most of you might have heard the rumors I supposed."
One of the men from the chanz tribe stood up to respond "My king,we won't denial that we haven't being hearing various rumors from the palace but I would really like to understand how that could be of great trouble to you. You are the great king Arthur of Austro,why would a mere dream bother you?" Some of the men began to nod in agreement and understanding.
King Arthur gave a light chuckle " This isn't a matter of mere dream or nightmare,it was more like a warning. I sent men to go and seek concerning my dreams and they came back with news"
Everyone looked at each other curious and confused,what could be the news that was brought to the king,was it connected to a threat from the other realm or was it connected to THE KING.
King Arthur stood up from his throne and the congregation arose in union. King Arthur looked at his seven wives and the seven tribes of this realm and breathe deeply before his eyes turned dark and the atmosphere of the room turns cold.
Everybody could feel the cold chill on their skin as the hair on their body stood,alarmed and unsure of what to expect next from the king's mouth because surely when the king rises,he makes a degree.
"I,king Arthur,first and only son of the great king fedrick,king of the seven kingdoms and province of this realm hereby make a degree this day. It should be noted in everyone's heart and by every witness here that here hence forth I forbid the birth of any male child from my bloodline". Said the king with a great voice that stock the heart of not just the royal family but even the elders and councils, inevitably Elizabeth.
