37 Candidate For The Position Of The Crown Princess

The coldness in Emmy's voice chilled up the entire hall and Alex who was holding her hand smirked at the loss of the elders. They wanted to curry favor with the goddaughter of their one and only master but got busted in the first impression itself.

"Elder Begontrix, is this of how you entertain your guests at Acasta Palace? Calling them for a sumptuous dinner and then insulting them on their faces?"

The Salian clan elders couldn't utter a word against the sharp-tongued Emmy, even Alex found her this version amazing. She was openly defending him in front of these mighty elders who considered this prince as lousy.

Elder Begontrix stuttered a bit before replying in his poise manner, " Child, we have seen our crown prince from his childhood, so we elders just chit chat about him casually. We were concerned that he might be not sincere towards you, that is why elder Floretren had that query. "

" Elders, with due respect, let me tell you this, I, Lamia Shagues, do not want the elders of the great Salian clan to worry about my matters. If your crown prince dared to play his tricks on me then, you all can just forget that the Salian family had a crown prince like him once. "

Alex was gloating over the elders' misfortune but as he heard the second part of Emmy's statement, his heart trembled. Her way of warning was exceptional, in one statement, she warned both the elders and her lover Alex respectively.

After Emmy cooled herself down, she winked at her friends to signal them that this was just acting. As the important person sat down, all the elders gave a sigh of relief and they cordially started the dinner. However, one pair of eyes were staring at Emmy for a couple of minutes, he was searching his memories to find this attractive face in it as he was one hundred percent sure that he had seen this girl before. But where?

Elder Floretren was racking his brain when a servant suddenly came with a letter from the Salian king. Elder Theodore received the letter, and read it out loud for the other members to hear.

" The time has arrived to fulfill the promise towards a family and in return, solidify the familial bonds between the two great clans. I hope elders will take a decision to have the position of the crown princess filled before this king turns in his golden years.

The most appropriate candidate suggested by this king shall be the second princess of the Agnartic clan, Miss Arona Agnartic.

Waiting for the approval of the great elders."

After reading the content, everyone on the table had the same thought inside their mind.

" The king had gone insane."

" That imbecile!! what does he think of himself, he came under that promiscuous woman's pillow talk. He thinks the best candidate is that girl who has got double dealings with the second prince. This is utterly bizarre."

" Elder Zeatrice, control your mouth. Watch what you are saying in front of the guests. I apologize for this manner of elder Zeatrice. We shall excuse ourselves for tonight, please finish your dinner, we can meet tomorrow."

All the elders stood up simultaneously and excused themselves for the night. Everyone lost their appetite except for Emmy and Alex, they were enjoying the sumptuous feast to their maximum. Watching the foodie couple, others reclaimed their lost appetite and joined to dig in the feast.

After filling their stomach to its maximum, the group decided to have a walk before calling it a night. All the way, Alex found Mike stifling his emotions.

" Brother, why are you frowning? Tell your elder brother, what is disturbing you at this late hour?"

Mike faced his elder brother and did a bow of ninety degrees. The suppressed feelings started to flow out from his eyes. Alex calmly held Mike by his shoulders and supported him to sit on the bench whereas the others tactfully left the brothers some space to talk.

" Brother, why did father take such a decision? Every time he puts you through hell and never considers you as his son. I feel pity for myself for being born out of him. I even despise this blood which is running through my body"

"Mike, whatever happens, happens for good. He must have had his own reasons, but trust me, this time he has dug his own grave. I'm sorry to tell you, our father unintentionally had plotted in the murder of Emmy's parents. So, it is her discretion in settling this matter. Don't you worry, he cannot order us anymore. We have the total support of the elders now, you just be cheerful, leave everything else to this big brother. "

Alex patted Mike on his shoulders and both of them went to find others.

Meanwhile, Jordan was explaining the Agnartic kingdom to the girls. He had collected every minute details of his enemy clan.

" So that is all for the tales of the Agnartic family. I didn't have my precious two years wasted, the information came in handy now.. haa..haa. My lord always said, 'It is better to know your enemy best before you attack.' "

" I was wondering if the king knew the affair between the second prince and that princess then why was he choosing that particular woman as a candidate for the position of the crown princess."

" To keep my brother under his control forever."

Mike answered Juliet's doubt, even though his eyes were still puffy and red, his smile made his face more dazzling. Emmy saw Alex was in a good mood, so she purposefully teased him.

" Oh great crown prince, I can see your face is glowing like the stars, have you started dreaming of that Agnartic beauty?"

Alex felt firecrackers bursting in his mind, his beaming face looked at Emmy and said in a low tone, " What if I say yes?"

Emmy suddenly couldn't find words to retort at this shameless fellow, she huffed and marched towards her room without saying any words to her friends.

The other four people who were watching this interaction grinned to themselves. Everyone was happy as they found camaraderie among their small group.

" Brother-in-law, I think if you don't go and pacify our jealous friend, she might ignore you straightly for the next few days."

Alex regained his usual poker face and followed Emmy soon but turned back after a few steps," Thank you, sister-in-law."
