48 Disown

Lord Zorander resident.

"Father, I have been thinking about the marriage proposal from the Yancey family. I have decided that I will not marry Joe," Jane informed her father as the whole family sat to eat dinner.

Lord zorander raised his brows. Yes, he would want his granddaughter married to the Yancey family but he would never force her.

Jane had made this statement in the presence of her grandfather because she felt neither of the men could force her. Not when the crown prince has set his eyes on her.

Earlier that day prince William came to her himself. He told her she was beautiful and he would like to make her his queen in the future. She has with all smile accepted and immediately she got back home informed her mother about this.

She and her mother have agreed to take a stand against her grandfather and father. They both believed that since the prince had set his eyes on her then there was nothing even lord Zorander can do.

Robert on the other hand could feel his headache. He knew what his wife and daughter were up to but he knew they would only end up getting kicked out of the family.

Lord Zorender had already confirmed that his sister has a son. So he knew his father would not want division in his family. It was either they stood up for Agatha's son or they left his family.

He never quite understood why his father loved his sister more than him. Men were always after sons that could become heirs but not his father.

"Do you still have that fantasy of marrying prince William," Robert could not help but ask. He had told his wife to help convince their daughter against the prince.

His father will not mind her rejecting Joe, but the same can not be said if she wants the prince.

"Father it is no longer a fantasy, Prince William came to me on his own today and said he would want me to be his future queen," Jane said with pride in her eyes.

Robert felt his tongue-tied. Unlike his stupid daughter, he knew that the young man only came to pick her because she was from the zorander family.

The other strong family like the zordaner did not have young daughters or granddaughters that the prince could meet. Besides he was sure that lord Yancey will not let his daughter marry a man like the prince. He could already guess that the queen will want her daughter to marry Joe.

So his daughter was the perfect option. "you cannot marry the prince," Robert said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"But Robert our daughter likes the prince, and he likes her too. Why would you say such a thing? It is an honor to be in-laws to the royal family," Lady Sam said.

"Would the prince still love you If I kick you out of the family?" Robert asked in gritted teeth. He could not understand why his wife will encourage such a decision in presence of his father After he asked her to convince their daughter to marry Joe.

"What are you saying, father?" Jane asked in a hurt voice. Her father always dotted on her. How could he threaten her like this?

"I am saying that if you insist on marrying the prince then I would have no choice but to kick you out of the family," Robert said in a serious voice. He hopes his father was convinced by his words and does not kick them all out.

"Father's I thought you promised not to force me into marriage," Jane cried.

"Yes, I promise which is why I am not insisting on Joe. Choose someone else just ensure it is not prince Williams," Robert said.

"How could you say that?" lady Sam, snapped at her husband. she did not understand why he was beien so stubborn.

Robert was about to say something else when lord Zorander spoke.

"That's enough. It seems no one respects me anymore. Talking on the table like mad people,"

"Robert you would allow her to marry whoever she chooses. I don't remember picking you a wife," lord Zorander said.

Jane and her daughter celebrated their victory but they celebrated too soon. Robert knew his father. The man was cunning and smart. He knew it could not be so simple. Grandson or not his father did not like lady Regina and he knew for a fact that he would not want his grandchild married to her child.

"Jane, you love the prince?" lord Zorander asked.

"Yes, grandfather, I love him with all my heart," Jane replied.

"You are sure you love him and not because he is the crown prince," lord Zorander asked again.

"Yes, grandfather," Jane replied. Although she knew deep down that she would not marry Williams if he was not the crown prince but he was and she would say anything to convince her grandfather.

"But your father forbids it, what would you do about this situation?" Lord Zorander asked.

"Grandfather, growing up father promise that I would not be giving into marriage if I did not like the man. I like Prince Williams and he is ready to make me his future Queen. I believe my father should accept this decision of mine after all it is the way of the Zoranders. Grandfather and father know this," Jane spoke smoothly.

Lady Sam would have clapped her hands at how smart her daughter has spoken if only she was not scared of her father-in-law's reaction.

"You are right, but are you also willing to accept your father's decision?" Lord zorander asked.

The table fell quiet none of them were sure of what lord Zorander was referring to.

"Your father just said that you would be kicked out of the family if you insist on marrying the prince" Lord zorander said.

The table fell into quiet again. Robert was not really surprised by his father's words he already expected something like this.

"Grandfather," Jane called she was becoming wry of the conversation. She knew her father will not disown her no matter what. He doted on her so much but when her grandfather was involved she knew there was no turning point.

"Don't worry I will not let him disown you yet, but know this after your marriage to prince Williams you can never call on the Zorander family for help," Lord Zorander said.

"What," lady Sam and Jane said in unison. They were both surprised.
