Simon just looked me up and down and said something that made my heart shiver
you don't know about the meeting ? it's the meeting where the nobleman are going to discuss your future. maybe if you make yourself pitiful enough a nobleman might make you his mistress.
He made a gesture with his hands for me to follow him to the meeting hall .I knew that something like this might happen but I never thought they would try to kick me out of the palace the day they just executed my mother. they are just heartless,they can not wait to grape my father's riches ,greedy pig's.
We arrived at the meeting hall and it was already packed with nobleman looking at me like I am same trecher waiting to be sold. I was given a seat at the middle of the hall to face my public humiliation.
Simon sat at the middle of two other nobleman who were also part of the three pillar of the Southern kingdom , Able de villiers and James ven der merwe .Simon banged the table in front of him to get everyone's attention. let's start the meeting he then gestured for Able to start speaking .
We have gathered here to talk about the future of the kingdom after the loss of it's king. the people can not wait any longer for thire king , we will cast a vote for the next king of the kingdom. we will vote for someone from the influential families I will not be participating for the role of the king , so I will be voting for lord Simon Adriaanse is there any objections.
Able looked around the hall to see if anyone objects after seeing that no one objects he then declared that Simon will be the next king. that slay little fox he orchestrated everything .the Adriaanse family have been eying the throne for decades so Simon roped Able into his skimes in order to have an advantage over James.
Simon stud up to take over the meeting
I know I am not officially the king but we have to discuss what we are going to do about lady Mila. it pains me to say this but I have to kick her out of the Adwa household as I will not be taking her as my wife. do you have any objections my lady.
Not only did he kill my mother he is making sure that I would not marry into a powerful family.
This things happen sometimes and we all know what steps to take in a situation like this James said with an unreadable expression
Is he trying to defend my reputation I could never tell with this men . before they could dismiss the meeting I spoke loud enough to be heard .
I object
Everyone was stunned by my sudden outburst, I spoke again
The next king will be someone I marry
Simon laughed joined by the other's before composing himself then started to speak in a mocking tone.
You are no longer a royal princess it's not your choice on who becomes the next king.
I only looked at Able and said book one article one then told him to read it out loud .
Any who can bring out the holy sword from the holy temple will automatically be named the ruler of the kingdom.
