Back in the Palace.
The people related to the royal family by marriage started to arrive. The first family to arrive was the Tyler. Lady Regina''s family. After that lord Baratheon, his wife, and princess Ema''s fiancee
These two groups met at the welcoming hall and began to discuss what happened during the ritual. It was indeed schooling. No one had suspected that the servant boy was the king''s son. When some of the guards who have walked with Richard heard this news they found it so difficult to believe.
Some felt this was the reason he was close to the princess. Lord Tyler had an unhappy face but he knew he could not make it too obvious. This was the royal palace, not a place he can act out.
Robert and his family of three arrived next. Perhaps among these two families, Robert''s family was the most pitied. It was only a few days ago that lady Sam held a small party and invite all the noblewomen.
Someone like lady Baratheon could still remember how she went on and on about her statutes and how her daughter Jane had been favored by the crown prince.
Lady Sam saw the face the two other women were giving her, she felt uncomfortable. She swallowed the unwillingness in her throat and went over to greet them. At this point, Lawrence arrived with his family. Rose was very delighted to attend this meal. She wanted to see how Jane could act high and might.
Previously Jane kept looking down on her and talking as though the entire Bozoa belongs to her.
When the other lords saw Lawrence and his family they were confused. Although prince Williams was engaged to Jane they did not know what this have to do with Lawrence. After all, he has changed his name and could not be seen as a family with Robert.
The lords were still trying to understand his presence when the Yancey arrived. No matter what they could not understand the Yancey family''s arrival. They all seem to forget that Richard was engaged to Danny which made her family qualified to attend. More Danny''s position in the royal family was higher than the ever one else in the welcoming room.
She was the future Queen of Bozoa with Richard''s Ritual that day.
"lord Yancey why are you here?" lord Tyler asked with a warm smile.
"Is there a reason why I can not be here?" lord Yancey answered. The people felt confused by his answer but before they could ask more questions Richard arrived at the sense.
"Uncle, Aunty," the first people Richard noticed were Lawrence and Lady Bridget. When lord Tyler and lord Barathoen heard the way he addressed the two they felt strange.
Although Lord Zorander can be said to be the person who found and support him but calling non-relatives like this they could not understand it.
They had been present and had seen him go for purification. How could someone like this become their next king? Has lord Zorander raised a loyal dog for the throne, this was the only reasonable conclusion they could come up with.
Richard could feel the disdain in their gaze. Even lady Sam and Jane looked at him with disgust. Only Robert was self-conscious at this time perhaps it was because only he could guess the true reason why Richard had called Lawrence uncle.
"your highness," Lawrence and Lady Bridge did not stand on the ceremony that they were related to him besides there were other people and they had no right to be disrespectful to the crown prince.
Rose followed her parents and bow to the prince. The Yancey family followed suit and greet him with respect.
It was only Danny that stepped forward and offered her hand as she greeted him. The last time they meet he was still a commoner in everyone''s eyes. This time he was already a prince.
"My prince," she felt really shy. She had been very firm when she made her decision to marry this man. Now that everything was moving smoothly too fast for her to catch up with.
Richard nodded his head before taking her hand and kissing it lightly. It was at this point that the people finally realized that Danny had indeed gotten engaged to this man when he was nobody. However you want to look at it, this man had made a name for himself when he was not even known as the crown prince.
This alone told everyone that he was outstanding and suited for the throne. But so what? In life, there will always be people who looked down on others and feel that these people had no right to be lucky or live a good life.
Jane was offered to see this site.
She had thought many times that these people will now to her in the future. It had only been a few days and things had changed so much. After Richard finish welcoming the members of these families he turned his head to the right.
The Zorander, I mean Robert lady Sam and Jane, were seated at the side with lord Tyler and Lady Tyler were seated here.
Since Robert was self-conscious the minute Richard looked their way, he stood up and shot his family a look to do the same. It did not matter what they thought of the man before them. He was now the crown prince and they had to respect him.
"Your highness, " they bowed. Jane swallowed her grievance. After her father reminded her of her willingness to leave the zonrander family in exchange for her marriage to the prince, Jane knew that to get her father''s support in the future she had to act obediently now.
Lord Tyler remain silent he looked at Richard with disdain. It was an open provocation. Richard did not say anything, he simply look to the left where lord Baratheon, wife, and son were seated. Lord Baratheon was more conscious than lord Tyler. Although he looked down on Richard he still got up on his feet and nod his head slightly.
"your highness," it was more like a call than a greeting but Richard did not mind. He was happy to have a scapegoat.
His Grandfather has told him that as the crown prince and future king of Bozoa. He was not allowed to let anyone who looked down on him go.
If a king was not feared and respected then his reign will not last long. He was looking forward to dealing with Tyler. His reason was simply
Even if Ann become Queen, lady Regina still had the backing of her family. So to deal with her and monitor her, her family had to fall.
When lord Tyler saw the crown prince had ignored his obvious disrespect. He smirked and felt proud of himself. ''A dog was a dog even if it wore the best clothes there is.
Just then King George and other members of the royal family arrive. Because of the special occasion, lady Regina was also present here. Princess Ellen was not present because she had gone to help Ann change into a proper grown. Now that she was going to become the Queen in a few hours she could not be seen in her formal outfit.
"your majesty," Everyone in the room bowed. Richard stood outside and his gaze turned cold and firm. If he did not deal with lord Tyler now this will always be a stain on his name. Moreover, more people will disrespect him in the future.
"Father," He called after the king nodded his head at the people. His voice commanded respect. The people unconsciously turned to him.. They were all curious about what the so crown prince was up to.
