ACCEPT HER OR NOT, SHE WOULD BE IN CHARGE; MATE OR NO MATE

CHAPTER TWO: ACCEPT HER OR NOT, SHE WOULD BE IN CHARGE; MATE OR NO MATE

you all must be wondering the summoned you all hear.’ I said in an authoritative voice. ‘yes, your Grace, we wondered why you called us.’

I begin again ‘as you all know, this kingdom as only a Queen, but needs a King. I haven’t found my mate and I need to find him as soon as possible. I, that means I didn’t want to scare you all but I have been becoming week lately and would have to search immediately. You all know my birth prophesy, right?’.

They all nodded ‘yes your Grace, you are to be mated with a wolf, not a dragon, because your child be the most powerful, even a tribrid can’t defeat him or her. They even have the power to change the world, into good or bad.’ I nodded in agreement. ‘yes, so I have made my decision’ I saw a frown on some of the elders faces, while the others were confused. ‘what are you saying your Grace’ I took a deep breath ‘I have decided to give the throne to Jian till I get back. She would be in charge of everything till have returned, with or without a mate.’

A long silence elopes the room.

‘your Grace, that’s prosperous and impossible! How can you give your assistant the throne? You know that if she wears the crown, she would die, only the heir to the throne could were the crown, and that’s you and besides, you don’t need a mate, you’ve been handling this throne greatly, more than any other dragon ruler.’ Elder Mildred spoke

I gave her a stern look and she quickly bowed her head. ‘apologies your grace’ she said with a pleading voice and I nodded. ‘I know it would be a hard risk, but every queen or king needs a mate to rule in the dragon world, its tradition, she won’t be wearing the crown, cause a special crown would be made for her.’

They all looked at me like they’ve seen a ghost, unable to speak. ‘your Grace, have you thought of this well’ Elder Michel spoke again and I nodded my head. ‘I have said my decision and anyone who tries to go against it will face my worth’ I spoke coldly.

They all shivered and looked terrified. ‘but your Grace, I feel a negative vibe coming from her. She would betray us’ Elder Elon said with disgust. ‘how dare you say such a thing to me you felty peasant! I have been with her Grace since the day we were born, I would do no such thing, on no account!’

I saw Jian looking at Elder Elon and they were both glaring at each other.’ ‘enough of these mad stares, it getting me annoyed.’ I said coldly but calmly. ‘Your Grace, Elder Elon is right, she has a negative vibe if she takes over the throne now, why don’t you hand it over to another person, like one of the elders.’ Elder Shira spoke and I looked at her with disgust ‘and why should I give one of you elders, when I know one day you would betray me’ I spoke and they looked shocked.

‘I have made my decision, the crown would be given to her tomorrow and she would be crowned Queen till I get back, inform everyone in the kingdom, I live tonight.’ I stood up and begin to walk towards the door and Jian followed me. ‘are you sure about this’ Jian said as we entered the car. ‘Jian, you’ve been my best friend since we were born, and I trust you very much, more than anyone else, I have said my decision and you have to follow’ I said to her calmly. We got home and I went straight to my room to pack my things, I really didn’t want to waste any time at all, and it was going to be hard to learn the things they do in their world. I changed my cloths into a black slim fitted shot gown reaching me knee and a matching jacket.

‘knock, knock, knock’ I looked at the door ‘who is it?” I asked in a calm voice. ‘it’s me, aunt Akira’ I went toward the door an opened it and my eyes were greeted by an elegant woman with a long green dress and dark brow hair decently packed.

Aunt Akira is Jian’s mom, she had been taking good care of me ever since the death of my parent. ‘Aunt Akira’ I said and gave her a warm hug and she did the same, pulls away, ‘I heard you’ve decided to give the throne to Jian temporally till you find your mate, is it true?” she asked like a bubbling kid who wants a candy. I chuckled

‘yes aunt, I had made my decision of a long time and besides, you two are the only one who I trusted and to care of me since that day and am so grateful, so to repay you back, I decided to give Jian the throne temporally’ I said with a slight smile. ‘Zurah, I know your very eager to meet your mate, but don’t you think Akira is too young for this’ I laughed at her words, she really do thinks Akira is still and irresponsible lady that damages things at a blink of an eye.

I put my both my hands on her shoulders and said ‘there nothing to worry about, Akira can take care of the kingdom, she isn’t the Akira you knew before’ she tried to protest, but I stopped ‘aunty, trust me on this one, she would do wonderfully and so will aunt’ I gave her a tight big hug, ‘would like to see me off, I’ll be off in three minutes’ I said with a huge smile on her face. She smiled back ‘alright, are you done packing or do you need help’ she said looking at my bags ‘oh, am true the maids would take it downstairs.’ ‘alright then, let go’ she said and we both went downstairs.

The elders were already downstairs with my personal maid, guard and Akira. ‘your royal Highness, we are your bags’ Elder Mildred asked. I looked back and I the maids are already bringing in my luggage. We went out side and the car were right outside.

The maids kept my luggage in the boot. ‘This is it everyone, my mate awaits me in the werewolf realm and I must find him before its too late and also I have to hid my identity. Akira, please rule my people right and follow the constitution given to you.’ ‘don’t worry Saphira, I’ll do my best’ Akira said and we both hugged. ‘please be safe, and if you need any help, feel free to call, don’t hesitate’ aunt Alison said. I smiled and we hugged. ‘please be safe your highness, the people wouldn’t like your decision if they find out, but it yours not theirs’ Elder Elon, spoke who was the closets to my dad and he was like a grandfather.

I gave him a hug and got into the car and the driver drove out of the palace and we were at the main road. I was so excited and happy to meet my mate, but I know it would take a lot of time but I need to be ready for all circumstances.
