Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 4 : Beauty with brains

 ' Who among these men is your husband? ' the question kept repeating itself in her head. How was she supposed to know a man she had never seen. Well, it's all for nothing . She could not evade this question for she was dealing with the king. 

 " Can I speak freely , your majesty? " princess Lily asked for permission 

 " A little bit bold, aren't you? Well, you have my permission " the king responded amused . This girl was truly something , right from the moment she fainted, he could tell she was different. 

 " Thank you, your majesty . First of all, I was informed by my father that His majesty has three sons and I was to wed the last prince . I only see two princes by your side, milord " she bowed after she had finished speaking 

 " That is no good reason " the king objected. " the one at the left may be my youngest son , while the eldest may be somewhere else "

 " That is possible, your majesty. But, given the appearance of the prince by the right " Lily said referring to the prince on a wheelchair " ...it is possible for him to be your eldest son. With all respect your majesty, if you had another prince older than the prince at the right , then it would mean that you birthed a child at an age where it is forbidden, which is why I think my future husband is not in the courtroom " she bowed and surprisingly the king laughed. 

 " It seems after all that you were a beauty with brains , it would be a shame if you weren't. " The king grinned, there was something about his smile that made Lily afraid . His presence was terrifying . If someone could raise her gown, then they would see her legs trembling , she wasn't even sure if she gave a reasonable answer but she was certain her future husband was not in the room. 

 " At least your answer is reasonable, you are not like princess Elma " the king said with disgust 

 At his father's words, prince Royce's face darkened. He was the prince standing at the King's left side and princess Elma is his wife. 

 " Father " A voice came from behind. Princess Lily turned only to see a handsome man strut in . His neat black hair was polished backwards, it gave him a cool vibe. His ocean blue eyes seemed to drown Lily as she continued to stare at the handsome young man . 

 Prince Rian turned his head to look at the princess who was staring at him. As they made eye contact, she looked away and bowed her head. Prince Rian knew she was his wife . How could he not know her?, he had personally carried her to her room and had also changed her clothes as he refused any of the maids to assist her. 

 " Father, you summoned me " Rian bowed . 

 " Yes child, your wedding has been fixed. It would be the day after tomorrow "
