Sufiyan : impossible.

Skull crusher : what do you mean?

Sufiyan : our Kingdom never had, does or ever will have a female leader.

Skull crusher : but your highness she scored 99 out of 100 on your test.

Sufiyan : so, any eligible male can do that to.

Skull crusher : I had thought you'd be happy to hear this news.

Sufiyan : why in God's name would I be happy to hear that?

Skull crusher : because you said you were a revolutionary.

Sufiyan : I am a revolutionary but giving a female such a high position will only make things worse.

Skull crusher : I see.

Sufiyan : does this girl what's her name?

Skull crusher : Kainaat.

Sufiyan : yes Kainaat does she have a brother, father or any other male relative?

Skull crusher : she does have a cousin Saad Akhtar he also lives in Stevenburg.

Sufiyan : great I'm sure he's just as if not more smarter than her, now I want you to write a letter and have it sent to his house.

Skull crusher : a letter, about what?

Sufiyan : Saad Akhtar is going to be the next prince of Ortania.

Skull crusher : but your highness he didn't even take the test.

Sufiyan : so who cares he's a boy and boys are always smarter than girls, I'm sure he'll be a perfect fit for this position.

Skull crusher : if you say so.

Sufiyan : hey wait.

Skull crusher : yes your highness?

Sufiyan : I wanted to give my second decree.

Skull crusher : right now.

Sufiyan : I'm impatient ok.

Skull crusher : very well what shall be your second decree?
