Conflict

When she felt people's gaze on her she slowly raised her and asked what are you looking at? Mother! why are you deliberately trying to make my son's guest feel uncomfortable? Can we please eat in peace? Eliott, what are you talking about? I have not done anything serious did I? I only proposed to her money because that is what she's after, but she will not tell truth, besides I asked my grandson a question so he should answer it shouldn't he? Yes, you are right granny, your highness my brother will answer so please calm down said Allya. Are you all done? Asked Eiran, yes we are obviously duh! said Allyi, this is more like it everyone please focus on me and on what it is I am about to say, the woman I brought here today is my woman, her name is Rëena Fardoli, she is my companion and we have been together for a year, she is the one I love and yes, grandma all this time I disobeyed you was not because of her, but because I love her and in the near future she will be new Mrs. Duke, so everyone present here should respect her.

It was obvious that Eiran, said these things to get back at his grandma when he recalled hearing Rëena, calling him "Fiancee" he did not like it then, but now he thought that this was a good opportunity to say such a thing, and see how is grandma would react, while hearing this Rëena could not hide her joy and her blushing face, she looked at him with affection and reached out her hand to stroke his. In their lovey-dovey act, they heard someone laughing and it was Allyi, her laugh was so loud and evil that some maids could hear her, she chocked on her own laughter and said, wow my grandson, is so full of himself, brat do you really think that you can marry this woman on my watch? Not only that but don't tell me you have forgotten the promise you made to your mother a few years ago, do you need me to remind you with words or proof? You choose because either way, this is going to hurt like a shot in the head. The couple was so shocked that they did not notice Allyi's right-hand woman who was bringing the written agreement proof, majesty here is the document you asked to be taken from your office, said Tallia, I appreciate you bringing the document, would you mind please, honoring me by reading everything written in this paper out loud, asked Allyi. Yes, your majesty, it would be my pleasure to read it out loud. Tallia then cleared her voice and said everyone present here please concentrate on what I am about it to read just like her majesty ordered.

My dear, sweet boy Eiran, I apologize sincerely for doing this to you, I know that you will not be happy with this and that this will make you feel like I have taken advantage of your innocence because you were still young and had no knowledge of this and of what had happened between me and my friend. Please forgive me, I never wish for this to happen, but going back in the past many years ago, my best friend did something inappropriate to me, I cannot mention what she did on this piece of paper because this is not something that should be written, I have already instructed your grandma or dad to tell you the truth about what had happened and why I agreed with my friend's proposal. You must marry, Amaya she is a kindhearted person, I know that it will not be easy because you no longer know each other, but with time you will get to know her again and genuinely fall in love with her, remember love is always there where we cannot see. From the bottom of my heart, I wish my big baby boy well, and everyone in the family.

EIRAN's ********* signature on the agreement.

After, Tallia, finished reading the agreement out loud. Eiran felt his heart sink to his stomach he was too shocked by the news and especially by the fact he could not remember this at all. He suddenly, snatched the agreement from Tallia's hand and started reading it again, his face turned slightly pale and he felt weak, then he asked "Is it too late for me to refuse this marriage?" Me and her already, have grown apart so what's the point in getting married now? As the future king of Melville, I hereby state that I will not marry her, I strongly disagree with this arranged marriage, regardless of what had happened between my mother and her friend, their affairs do not concern me so why should suffer the consequences of someone else's wrongdoings. Besides, I was young at that time so even if there is my signature on this agreement paper, I repeat again that I oppose this marriage, after saying what was on his mind Eiran, stood up to leave but he was stopped by his grandma. Stop right there grandson, I will answer your questions! "It is indeed too late for you to refuse this marriage" You haven't been crowned yet, right this means that I still hold power and as the Queen, I hereby declare in the name of this agreement in my hand, you must fulfill this promise and that is one of the most important rules of this royal family, you are no longer a boy, you are now a man and as a man and future king if you still want the throne you need to take responsibilities and know how to fulfill your promises because it is the way of a King worthy of his name. I know that you do not want to hear what I am saying right now, and it feels like I am only doing this to get at you or because I want to teach you a lesson, but no I am only telling the truth because having being a Queen for many years, gave a good understanding of how things work and how arduous it is for us royals because we must always be responsible when we have to and fulfill our promises when we have to, this is how we set good examples first in the family then in society.
