----------------------------------
captain of the guards: alright listen up!! I got words from the palace, Prince Fredrick is in gold vein mine, immediately he leaves these mountains we are taking him with or Without his consent,
guard1: sir, why don"t we go for him when he is still inside the mountains, I think it will be easy to get him
guard2: exactly!!, we can even use the help of the Lord of gold vein mine
murmuring form the entire squad as they all are in support of their comrade"s idea
captain of the guards: quiet!!, the Lord of gold vein mine is power hungry and if the Prince refused to follow us in peace, the Lord of gold vein mine will certainly take his side and that will put us in a tight spot, I have already sent word across to the other squad in the neighboring village, they will be joining us soon and when they do we will ambush the Prince and escort him back to the palace
-----------------------------------
at the palace
the king is furious and frustrated, he keep on barking at anybody who step on his toes, unable to attend the state meeting, he delegate the responsibility to his prime minister
prime minister:: your Majesty, I have preside over the meeting as Ordered but we have a problem, Choosing his words carefully as not to infuriate the already furious king
"" and what could that be, that you can"t handle and have to run back to me like a drench cat??"" the King asked sarcastically, his voice lace with authority
bracing himself for the worst the Prime minister dress back "" actually sir the matter concern the royal family and I dare not take decision for the Royal family""
""alright spit it out and be gone"" the p.i.s.sed off king replied almost yelling
""this is the hard part of this imperial work I hate most, giving report to a furious king who threaten to devour me, i just hope he doesn"t goes berserk because of my report, "" the Prime minister though to himself, preparing for the worst "" OK the court of ministers have reached an agreement that the Prince have come of age to marry and three of the ministers said their daughters have come of age and will make a good wife to the Prince and queen to our great nation
feeling amused by the way things is turning out "" hahaha, so three of the ministers are lobbying for the post of royal in-law, during my coronation as the crown Prince, five of the ministers seek for my father to pick their daughter, this is gonna be easy than I thought;"" getting more serious and interested ""OK who are these ministers??""
""sir Bennett of the mountain clan, minister of culture and his daughter"s name is Miss Dena, sir Cedric of the water tribes, minister of finance and his daughter"s name is Miss Flora and the odd one on my list is sir jerod, he has no magic essence or affiliates, he is the minister of trades and his daughter"s name is Miss Lena"" the prime minister Sir Auber finished Calling out the names on his list, feeling confidence once more he ask "" your Majesty, if I may ask, who do you think is eligible to be the next princess and prospect queen??
already confused by the matter on ground "" we have to balance this amicably, as all this is quest for more power, and still we must put the Prince in mind when choosing a princess for her; any more issue to treat?? we will talk about the wife issue"" the King said in one breath, shifting the issue of Princess selection aside
""we received words from king Chambray and he is inviting you for a royal banquet in honour of his new wife ""
"" well, decline his invitation"" sipping from his golden goblin
"" your Majesty, we can"t just decline his invitation as this might provoke him"" trying to persuade the King
"" are you saying we can"t win the battle with him, if he decides to wage war against me??""
"" I didn"t say so, your Majesty, but he is our biggest trade partner and this will greatly affect the nation"s economy""
""well then, send envoys to honour the invitation"" still feeling less concerned about it
""very well then, I will do as you wish, your Majesty""
the prime minister, sir Auber bows down and leaves the inner royal court room but was hault at the door post by the King
"" ehmm, sir Auber send the three minister"s daughters as the royal envoy to the royal banquet, include a good surbodinate of your to report back, this will be one of their test""
