Feud In The Palace

This is where Calista is. In the Palace of Vriarealas Kingdom. Where King Cassian and Queen Afia are. She came with Prince Quintis.

"Where are the King and Queen at?" Ask Calista

"Meeting room. I asked us to go there." Said Prince Quintis

Calista just nodded in understanding. He walked after prince Quintis.

"Brother Eister!" Exclaimed Calista happy

She immediately ran to her teacher.

"Brother Eister!" Call Calista.

Aleister, whose name was called out, frowned in confusion. "What kind of call did you give me, hm?" He said while putting his hands on his hips

Calista laughed lightly. "A favorite call, of course." She replied.

"It's up to you," Aleister said

"Oh yeah, where's Sister Cia?" Ask Calista

"In the meeting room," Aleister said.

"Then what are you doing here?" Ask Calista again.

"Waiting for you two of course," he replied

"Waiting for us? What for?" Asked Calista, confused.

"A lot of questions. Just come along." Prince Quintis replied, then dragged Calista's shirt back by the collar.

"Hey! Let go! I can walk alone!" Shouts Calista.

"Noisy. Just walk." Said Prince Quintis

Calista immediately pouted. While behind, Aleister was already laughing a little, seeing the interaction between the crown prince and the future crown princess.

When he arrived in front of the assembly hall, Prince Quintis released his grip from the back collar of Calista's shirt. Calista herself has also justified her clothes. Then when the door opened, Calista saw a lot of people gathered and bowing. Calista and Prince Quintis walked hand in hand toward the King and Queen, who were standing as if to greet them.

When she arrived in front of the King and Queen, Calista briefly looked at his manner of respect, and then she followed. After the King and Queen invited them to sit down, then they sat together with the people who were standing earlier.

"Okay. This meeting I held to inform the future crown princess and Queen of this country, namely Xavia Resha Antania." Say the King.

"Their engagement will take place after the Ritual of Offering, which will be held soon." Connect the Queen.

"Wait a minute!" The elders there object.

"What else?" Ask the King

"We can't take her as the future crown princess and Queen of this country," he replied

"What is the reason?" Ask Floressia

"She comes from the lower classes. Even her family status was lower than the status of the Queen's family at that time. In addition, she also does not have the expertise of people in general. What will happen if a Queen rules this country like her in the future?" He replied, rejecting the King's statement that would make Xavia the future Queen of this country.

"Right. Did his family pay you or sell his son to this palace? They are bad parents and you guys are even worse for making the person who was sold to the Palace the future Queen of this country. Sorry if I spoke too harshly, but I and the other ministers and elders reject Xavia as the Queen of this Country." Say the others.

Calista, who heard her family being insulted, immediately clenched her fists. But suddenly her hand was held by Prince Quintis.

"You have no right to say that. You all know nothing. Didn't my Mother and Father just give statements without question? Then what right do you have against my father and mother's statement? You are also very disrespectful and unethical to insult other people's family status. Are you feeling high? If Xavia doesn't deserve it, then who does? Your daughter? No kidding. I don't want to marry a seductive woman like your daughter." Said Prince Quintis, who was still holding Calista's hand.

Calista, who felt defended, immediately looked at Prince Quintis.

"Turns out he's not as bad as I thought." said Calista in the heart

"I also don't want to have a future sister-in-law a night and wild woman like your daughter." Floressia said, agreeing with her sister's words.

The ministers and elders there were already clenching their fists in anger. They really do not accept their child being insulted.

"You guys are really outrageous. You are the princes and princesses of this kingdom, yet you insult other people's children." Said the elder.

Then Prince Quintis laughed sarcastically, "Then what about your actions earlier? You guys also insulted Xavia's family earlier." He replied.

"We're just talking about facts. The fact that Xavia is from a lower status family than the Queen and can't do anything about it." Said the other elders.

"Then I'm also talking about facts. The fact that your daughter is often at Merry Blossom and sells her body there." Said Prince Quintis

Floressia was already chuckling when her brother bravely fought the elders and leaked the indecent things their daughter had done.

"You have to remember, prince, we were the ones who got you where you are now. Is this how you repay us?" said the minister.

"You guys helped me? Don't make me want to laugh. I am in this position because of my mother and father. After all, didn't I ever want to refuse this position of crown prince? But you guys insist that I'm the only one in this position. So don't make yourself feel that you are the most meritorious because I have already held the title of crown prince. I got this position on my own merit and also on orders from my father and mother." Said Prince Quintis

The atmosphere in the assembly hall grew even hotter due to the feud between Prince Quintis and the elders and ministers. The King and Queen also have no intention of stopping this feud. They think it is very exciting. After all, they are also tired of always listening and obeying the orders of the elders and ministers.

"You really have no manners and no sign of gratitude." Said the minister.

When Prince Quintis wanted to raise his voice, Calista spoke quickly and interrupted.

"Enough! Stop this debate! If you don't like my position as crown princess, then I will resign." Say Calista.

Her words, of course, shocked the King and Queen as well as the princess of Floressia and the prince of Quintis himself. While the elders and ministers there were smiling happily at hearing that. They still have a chance to get the prime minister's daughter Mystica Angelova to rise as crown princess.

"But after the woman of your choice had a duel with me. We will prove whether I am from this poor family or the woman of your choice who is worthy of the position of crown princess." Continue Calista.

The statement given by Calista shocked the King and Queen and Prince Quintis. They thought Calista would really give up. Meanwhile, Aleister and Princess Floressia were already smiling a little. The two of them will make Xavia who will rise as crown princess instead of prime minister's daughter Mystica Angelova, to accompany their sister.

"You are challenging us? Okay. We received. But if you lose, you and your family must be put to death!" said the prime minister.

"Well. But if you lose, then the woman of your choice and her family will receive the death penalty. How?" Challenge Calista.

The prime minister immediately broke into a cold sweat hearing this. He didn't want to be put to death.

"Well. We received." The elder said, surprised the prime minister.

"Okay. I will announce the final deal. Princess Xavia will have a duel and the girl of your choice. I already know who she is. But let yourself take her to the Palace to have a match as to who deserves to occupy the position of crown princess and become the future Queen of this country. I will hold the match in the Palace after the Ritual of Offering is performed. The meeting is over and you may disperse." Said the King gave the final decision
