Chapter 7 - Crown Princess Contest

"Yes any problem with that ' the king asked with raised brow?"

"Seeing no reply he continued, the marriage is between crown prince Roderick Xiang Blackwood and princess Eira Chang Amunhotep ' the king said causing everyone eyes to widen in disbelief. "

"Derick looks like he wanted to kill as he looked at his so called father glaring daggers at him".

"King Gorton I told you I'm not interested in marriage I would get married when I want to ' Derick said through gritted teeth, his veins popped out?"

"Watch your speech, Roderick ' king Gorton said."

"For how long you have been the crown prince for five years and you haven't gotten a woman to get married yet, for you to ascend the throne, you have been delaying myself and the people,I was supposed to step down and rest, but since you are hellbent on not getting married it's no big deal if I should fix one for you ' the king said in one breath."

' scoff '....."I have no interest to rule I have told you time and time again, cause you made sure that I became the crown prince,I won't let you decide my marriage ' Derick said calmly, but obviously there's a storm brewing in him that could burst at anytime?"

"Your highness, I don't think we should force crown prince Derick,he never wanted the throne but now that he is closed to the throne we can't do anything about it, but now he doesn't want to get married either, it would be a shame if we just cancel the marriage so I suggest that the marriage be directed to the remaining prince's who are due for marriage ' prince Damon the fourth prince and son of the king mistress said said?"

"I don't think that necessary prince Damon, if he likes it or not he would be getting married to princess Eira. Eira has the whole personality of a queen in her and more. A warrior princess and heroin, a dignified princess, who is bold, for a human her aura command respect,she has a lot of qualities even as a human. And I like her personality she is the kind of person I want my son to rule with. A free spirited soul,who is selfless and put her people and kingdom before herself, someone with intelligence and brilliance,so tell me why I shouldn't get her married to my son ' king Gorton said."

"The whole people present were not pleased with the king's word, no matter how great or greater a human is they always see them beneath their feet that they could crush and now the king was, saying the future queen would be a human, how would they bow for a common human like that?".

"Your majesty a human as our future queen why didn't you get a vampire humans die,they don't leave like we vampires,they age grades are lower than we vampires isn't it bad news?" ' right minister mason said.

"Are you questioning my authority now right minister mason,and who cares if that your problem we turn her into our kind ' the king said".

"Everyone was confused on why the king is so hellbent on making the human princess their to be queen, no one wants it, but they can go against the king but some brave one still want to negotiate with the king."

"Your majesty, some of the people wouldn't want to acknowledge her as the crown princess or even queen, it would be fair if we summon all, princess from neighboring kingdom, noble's and duke daughters and even daughters of lord's, it would be fair that way. So I'm saying we should create a contest and let one daughter from each neighboring kingdom in the king's household participate, and let a daughter from each noble, duke and lord's also participate, especially, the daughter's with intelligence and kingdom affairs. That's way even if princess Eira wins no one would question her for we all know how hard the contest exam usually is and that why it's was put on stop for awhile now giving the royals to fall in love or choose a wife without the contest. But now in this case your majesty I would ask for your approval for a contest to be held atleast to test the abilities of our daughters and anyone who comes out successful would be the crown princess and the, one in second position would be the mistress, please your majesty consider ' Advisor Henry said?"

! Please your majesty consider,let they be contest !

"Everyone present chorus"

"The king look at them, what they said was true,he could have declined, but this is also to prove away for them to know about the tip of princess Eira potentials, so even if she won they shall be know questions and they would have to acknowledge her as their future queen."

Mn' "since that is what you all decide on who am I to go against you. The contest it is and it's begin in three days from now all the ladies should be present in the castle, anyone who is absent would face my wrath unless the person is evicted ' the king said."

"Inform the town carrier, to pass the massage round the villages, that a contest for the crown princess selection for the crown prince would be going on between the noble's, lord's, duke's, and king's daughters from neighboring kingdom, and no one apart from them are allowed to enter the castle ground ' the king said?"

"All hail your majesty."

"All hail your majesty ' everyone chorus."

"If it settled then the meeting has been adjourn ' the king said as he rose and everyone rised their heads bow until the king passed and walked with elegant step out of the way, and they raise their heads when he left murmuring against themselves."

"So if advisor Henry hadn't spoken,we all would have been expecting a human queen I can't even imagine bowing down."
