Chapter 192 - Find Princess Ellen An Outstanding Husband.

    A meeting room somewhere in Bozoa Royal City.


    King George was facing his young nephew Thomas, a prince from Phrygia. King George''s younger sister was married off to Prince Thomas''s father years ago.


    This sister did not share the same mother with George so they were not close but they did not have any gauge against each other.


    "It is like Mother said, Bozoa is really a beautiful kingdom," prince Thomas said. King George only nodded his head in response to his statement.


    "Uncle, I can call you that right?" Prince Thomas asked. Although these two people are related by blood, this was the first time they meet.


    "It fine," king George answered plainly. If not for the many years of allies that he shared with the kingdom of Phrygia he would have directly regretted this prince or sent one of his sons but it was unfortunate that the two were occupied.


    "I would like to stay in Bozao, till after the crown prince ritual. My mother grew up here and I am a bit interested in knowing more about this place. Of course with your permission, Uncle" prince Thomas said.


    "you have it, I have already sent an invite to your kingdom. As long as you do not cause any trouble feel free. I will assign a guard tomorrow," King George said in a flat tone.


    Although this was only a young prince, he was there as a representative of the king of Phrygia so king George was a little patient with him.


    " prince Thomas, I am sure getting to know Bozao very well is not the reason your father sent you ahead of time," King George said after the short pause.


    "uncle is indeed very wise like mother said," prince Thomas decided to praise the king. King George''s expression did not change. He has already lived very long. If the kingdom of Phrygia did not have some under table reason why they have come ahead of time then prince Thomas would have headed straight to the royal palace after arriving.


    King George also had some guesses but he would not go ahead of himself. "our kingdoms have been friends for many generations now. I am sure uncle is aware of our war against Avalo," prince Thomas said and paused.


    "I am," King George nodded his head. His expression did not change.


    "I am sure you also heard of what happened to Pontus, in a few hours two days ago?" prince Thomas asked.


    "In war, the winner takes it all, that is why it is important for one to choose their enemies as carefully as they choose their friends," King George said.


    When prince Thomas heard this his facial expression changed. He was still young so maintaining his emotions was still something a bit difficult for him. He knew that King George was indirectly mocking Pontus for biting more than it could chew.  This was also true for Phrygia.


    "The twelve kingdoms have operated independently for many generations now but Avalo is becoming too powerful. If we do not join forces now and destroy the kingdom I am afraid that we may all end up as slaves," prince Thomas said.


    "What does this have to do with Bozoa?" king George asked. It is not that he did not get the hint from the prince''s words he just chose to play dumb.


    "We are trying to pull the other kingdoms together to fight against Avalo. So far we have reached out to the four great kingdoms, although they are yet to give us a definite answer, we are certain they are willing to join forces. How long will a kingdom be willing to be a slave to another?


    Especially now that the king of Avalo is dead and the crown prince brother has seized the throne, " Prince Thomas explained.


    King George was just finding out about the death of the king of Avalo but his face did not give anything away. After all princess, Ellen already mentioned his sickness.


    When prince Thomas saw that the king was still unwilling to say anything he decided to continue taking.  "Bozoa has had a fair share of the ruthlessness of Avalo as a kingdom. The war that ended a few months back must have brought a lot of loss to your kingdom. Now is the time to take a pound of flesh. A house divided against itself will surely fall. While the two princes struggle for power we can take advantage of it, " Prince Thomas said with a satisfied smile on his lips.


    King George paused for a minute and looked at the young prince before him. "is Phrygia by chance asking me to fight against my son-in-law?" He asked.


    Prince Thomas felt his thoat dry at the king''s question. He could not say yes, King George may feel offended and ask him out of his kingdom. What type of a father will kill her daughter''s husband and turn her into a widow.


    He could also not say no, because the kingdom of Phrygia needed all the support it could get. This is why he had started by playing the family caid but between a daughter and a Nephew one just met. A father will always choose his daughter.


    "Your majesty, we both know that your daughter did not marry the crown prince of Avalo because she fancy him. Moreover, who knows if the prince treats her badly. Everyone is aware of his nature," Prince Thomas avoided the king''s question.


    "whether or not princess Ellen fancy the prince or not is no longer important. Her life is already ruined when I forced her into that marriage. I will not be a part of making it worse. Moreover, if Phrygia really cares about the well-being of my daughter you should have come to our aid during the war but you stayed away, " king George said.


    He was an honorable king, as long as Avalo has not done anything against the trace that they agreed king George had no intention of going against them.


    When prince Thomas heard this he was a little disappointed but he did not give up. "Your majesty it is better late than never. If Bozoa should help our kingdom. We will definitely arrange for princess Ellen to be married to an outstanding man from our kingdom. I would have dared offered myself, after all, I have heard of her beauty but we are related by blood, " prince Thomas said.


    King George shook his head. Princess Ellen looked fine and healthy there was no sign of her being maltreated. Of course, he had no plans to tell this prince that. "Does this mean that Phrygia will not feel betrayed if I suddenly turn on you? If you expect me to break my trace with Avalo, can I do the same with you? Should I forget that my sister is your mother and attack the kingdom. Say I am sure my sister is still beautiful, and will easily find another husband?" King George asked. His face was showed no expression but he was Amazed by the king of Phrygia. After all the prince was not speaking of himself.


    When prince Thomas heard the king''s question he was at a loss of what to say. As a prince, he knew when to shut his mouth. If kings stop being honorable the kingdoms will know no peace.


    " I will not stand in the way of Phrygia in her war against Avalo. I am friends with these two kingdoms so I will not support either. But as a father it is my duty to protect my daughter. The crown prince of Avalo is my son-in-law. If you wish for peace, I can speak to him on your behalf but I will not get involved in a war that has nothing to do with my kingdom, "  King George said.


    " I understand, " prince Thomas had no choice but to give up at least for now.


    " If you will still like to stay and see more of Bozoa, I will assign a guard," King George said getting off his seat.


    "I will appreciate that your majesty," Prince Thomas said. Since he had not given up, he intended to stay and find other means to convince the king.. He had stopped addressing him as uncle since their relationship will not play any role in aiding him to convince the prince he did not see any reason to continue.
