Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Bozoa Royal Palace.

The Royal Family we're having their dinner quietly. King George was not surprised that the Queen asked to join him for dinner. He knew she would have already started her search for his other son.

Too bad she would be looking for him at the wrong places.

"Father," prince William called. The king looked at him and nodded his head for him to speak.

"I want to pick a wife, and I think, Lady Jane of house Zorander is my perfect choice," Prince William said. He and the Queen have spoken about it. He realized that it was best to Marry Jane so she could help them in his quest to find his other brother and end him before he becomes a threat.

" Lady Jane? " the king raised his brows.

" yes father, I love her and she loves me too," Prince William replied.

"That's a good choice. We would hold an official engagement once Lord Zorander agree to this marriage," the king said.

Of course, he did not want William married to Jane. He wanted the Zorander house to united and support Richard since he carried their blood but he could not object to his son's choice knowing he did not have a valid reason so he pushed the decision to lord Zorander.

He was certain that lord Zorander would never agree to this marriage since he was aware of Richard. Besides he was aware of the facts about Jane's visit to the Palace that morning.

The mother and son exchanged a glance, they were also aware of the fact that Lord Zorander was against the marriage. 

"father, since brother would get a wife soon, should I not also get married," princess Ema asked.

She has been waiting for the good news from her mother since she promised to arrange a marriage for her and Joe Yancey. 

"Ema is right, your majesty. She is at the age of marriage," Queen Regina immediately said.

"The competition comes up in two days. We would open the floor for anyone interested in marring the princess to fight for her hand," The king replied.

"What? But father.." prince Ema tried to argue. She did not want men fighting for her hand in marriage. She wanted her father to arrange a marriage for her with Joe.

"No, but Ema, it is tradition. If you are not going to marry away from Bozao for the sake of alliance like your sister, then there must be a fight," the king said in a tone that did not leave room for any arguments.

Even Queen Regina had to swallow hard when she heard his words. She comforted herself in the fact that only the rich and noble could come out to fight. After all, each contestant had to drop a rear treasure before they would be allowed into the ring to fight.

After the king's words, they eat the remaining dinner in silence.

"Mother, if father talk's with Lord Zorander he would find out about his other son. That would not be good. It will ruin all our plans," Prince William said. He was currently pacing in the Queen's chamber.

The Queen frowned her brows she was irritated by the way he was pacing. "seat," she commanded.

Prince William obeyed his mother and took a seat next to her. He knew she was irritated by him pacing about. 

"if you are going to pacing over small issues such as this, then how do you intend to rule a kingdom like Bozao," she scolded.

"I am sorry mother but you should be worried. You know that a lot of the nobles don't favor me to take over the throne from father. They are going to be a division. Especially since the throne is his by birth," Prince William said.

"Don't be stupid child, sometimes you think before you speak," she rolled her eyes at him.

"Lord Zorander is not going to tell the king about his son," the Queen said confidently.

"How are you so sure?" prince William asked not believing his mother's words a bit.

"It is simply, something is stopping him from saying it to the king. Think about it. Your father is quite close with lord Zorander. Do you think he did not have enough opportunity to tell him?" the Queen asked.

"I guess he did," Prince Williams nodded his head.

"But yet he did not. Have you forgotten what Jane said earlier? She said lord Zorander only told her when she threatened to kill herself if she was forced into marrying Joe. This means that lord Zorander is bound by something to keep this information away from the king or anyone else, "  Queen Regina patiently explained.

" so you think he will not tell the king," Prince William asked.

" No, but if he does that makes our work easier. We allow the king to find him, then we kill him before he lays his foot in the Palace, " Queen Regina smiled. Impressed by her own plans.

Why does she have to bother about the king finding out if she would simply allow him to do the job while she carried out her plans. 

Although she knew for a fact that her plans were safer if the king is not aware. That way he would die without raising any suspicion.

"you are right mother," the prince took a deep breath in relief.

"Of course I am right. I am your mother. You see I made a good choice when I picked Jane. Tell me how else we would have found out about the king's first son.

I am sure those nosy lords are secretly looking for him. Some of them will try to help him get the throne so they can use him as a puppet, " Queen Regina said.

" you are right mother, " Prince William nodded his head again.

" Now go to bed, the competition is less than two days You have to shine. Be among the best if you want to win the repeat of the people, " the Queen advice her son before drawing him into a hug.

" I promise mother, I promise to do my best and make you proud, " prince William promised before leaving the room.

Once he was out, Queen Regina took a deep breath in relief. She felt tired about all that was going on. "Come out?" he instructed and a man came out of the Bed. 

"Is he gone?" the man asked looking around him. If the king was here he would recognize this man. He was one of his young Generals. 

"yes, you should lock the door to the chamber. I would not want someone else disturbing us," the Queen instructed.
