Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Elvyra's POV
Two soldiers opened the door to the bedroom before I walked out. The four women followed in the back while Lady Son, their leader, was by my side. He was the one who taught me where Grandpa and the officers were. We were close when I saw Lily in her emerald gown even though she had a tiara but it was smaller than me. He runs towards me.
"You're beautiful Vy !! I almost didn't know you!"
I laughed because he said, "You're also beautiful in what you're wearing,"
"I know! That's why we're cousins," he said laughing
We once walked towards the large mahogany double door. I took a deep breath before they opened the door. I was secretly amazed when I saw the whole surroundings. It's like a trial court or the one where the greek gods gather for shows. In the middle were Tita Liana, Lola and Lolo. On the other side, there were Dad and Mom smiling at me which I returned with a sweet smile.
"There's no doubt! She was the daughter of King Magnus and Queen Amestine!"
They each complimented me but I gave them a blank expression. I don’t believe they are all trustworthy. If I show myself weak in front of them. The past will surely repeat itself. Everyone was busy speaking as a loud voice stopped him.
"Is that true, Your Majesty? A woman will be the head of the kingdom? We might just fall deeper into the mud!"
Everyone was silent as if no one wanted to oppose him. Grandpa frowned at what he said.
"Absolutely Minister Costomo! She was the only daughter of Magnus! Of course she'll be going to be the next leader!" Sigaw ni Lolo
But the man did not give up as if he were the king. I was a little irritated by what the man was doing. What right did he have to question the king's decision?
"Still your majesty! She is a woman! People like them are incapable of leading a country!"
My lips parted slightly at what he said. If that's the case. Is this what Dad refers to me when there are times when I don't know who I really am? I will not allow?
"Who do you want to lead?" I asked him coldly, which was the reason why everyone in this big room looked at me, "Slow down in your speech, Minister, you may forget that the son of the late king who will sit on the throne next is in front. to question the king's order? Man or woman. I. The. Next. On. the Throne, "I said sharply
Her jaws tightened but no words came out of her mouth. I spoke again, "If you think I'm weak. I'm ready to learn what I need to know to run a kingdom but insulting and ridiculing what I can do. It's a blasphemy,"
Thanks for the history
I know the law within the palace, limits, power and whatnot. I could afford to threaten him that I wasn’t the one coming out bad. I turned to Grandpa and saw the trace of admiration in his eyes.
"Dear king, I will accept all the skills of being the queen of Ihmapuleya, whether it is difficult or easy for the sake of my subjects. I will never relinquish the throne because I have promised to return Ihmapuleya to its former power, I will strengthen the nation's forces and punish all those who betray my kingdom outside or inside the country! " I can mean a word
I could see the concern on Minister Costomo’s face no matter what he was hiding. I knew right away that he had something to do with it. I just don’t prove it because I will punish him more than I should! When everyone sided with me. He said goodbye to his grandfather and reluctantly bowed to me. I talked to some of the ministers and even they complained about Minister Costomo’s curiosity. When we were there I breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're proud of you Princess Samara. The way you act earlier, you seem like a trained Queen," Tita Liana
"He's been a pain in the ass for a very long time since he was the head minister," Lolo
"How did you do that Vy? It's like you haven't gone away in a few years and become a simple person," Ly asked laughing
I smiled at him, "I don't think you know me. I love the subject of history so I probably know the rules and regulations inside the palace," I replied to him.
I laughed when he approached me. I momentarily forgot that we were just princesses and not simple girls. We just looked at Grandpa and the man next to him, who as far as I knew was General William.
"Since I couldn't wait for you to sit on the throne. Why don't you train her General first thing tomorrow in self-defense," Lolo
"S-self-defense?" I'm asking a question
"Yes majesty. There's a lot of people who probably want to kill you the moment you were introduced to the world. It's better when you can protect yourself alone in case of emergency," General William
I nodded to him, "Your Majesty. If you will allow me. Can I be one of those who follow the princess?" We both turned to Dad
Grandpa's face became blank and serious. I breathed a sigh of relief when he agreed.
"Sure Late General Anthony Herbert. I'm sure you can protect the princess like what you did before. I'll see you all in dinner. Excuse me," Grandpa said with a smile.
Everything was falling into places.
