At the Princess chamber...
A lady wearing a bright red color dress , Slowly walked into the Princess Chamber followed by a few maids.
The dress matched her temperament and made her look quiet young.
"Greeting her highness queen" greeted the maids present in the Princess Chamber.
"Hmm" responded queen Hazel.
Queen Hazel had a pair of green eyes, which are beautiful but those eyes carry a hint of coldness in it and always commands people with just one look.
One have to know that even though Queen Hazel looks gentle to outside, but she is a domineering lady. She is the niece of Ex-King and was favored by most of the people in the palace. She grow up in the palace itself and later married the Prince Martin who is the Present king of Eastern Kingdom.
Up to now there is no concubine in the Palace, by this we can understand how the King treated his Wife.
"You all may leave now, I would like to have a word with the Princess alone" ordered the Queen Hazel.
"Sure your highness" with that, all of them left the Princess chamber leaving the Queen and Princess alone.
"Queen mother have you came to inspect, whether your daughter is crying or not" asked the Princess Elina who is standing near the window of her chamber and facing her backwards to the queen.
"I know my daughter is not a weakling, that sheds unnecessary tears" replied the Queen Hazel and walked near her daughter.
"Are enjoying the breeze by standing here" asked the queen Hazel.
Now the pair of mother and daughter are standing side by side to each other and viewing outside from the window.
"No, Iam just trying to imprint mother land, who knows I might be some where else tomorrow" replied the Elina.
"Dear Elina....
it's not like you are a burden to us to marry off you to someone else, it just our kingdom is facing bring trouble at now and your father has a no other way" said the Mother Queen.
"Do you know dear, your father can't even face you or me at now, he is feeling quiet guilty that he is going to marry off his daughter for politics benefits. That's why he asked someone to delivery the news to be prepare ourselves.
But that mouth of Minister Wang won't stay quiet, that he directly informed marriage alignment plan." said the Mother queen.
"Mom, Iam not blaming you or father, I know that father tried his best to win in the battle field, but unfortunately he is injured and many of our soldiers are died.
I know how many families had lost there brothers, fathers, uncles due to the war.
Iam not worried to marry anyone, if it saves our kingdom and people.
Iam just thinking, it would be good if Iam a boy, so that I can help the father in the battle filed." said the Elina.
" Look at you, what are you saying, you are already a big girl and now regretting, if you would be a boy. I don't want both my children are males." replied the mother queen.
"Dear, if you don't want to be married, I can talk to your father" asked the Queen Hazel.
"No mother, Iam not that selfish person who thinks about myself. Iam a Princess, so it is my responsibility to save my kingdom and my people." replied the Elina
"it's good that you are responsible Princess" said the mother queen.
The pair of mother and daughter continued to have a conversation.

"Ahh, junior general Lucas please forgive us . we won't do it again" pleaded the people who are tied to the pole. There are totally five of them.
"You guys should feel lucky, that I had not killed you all immediately" said the Junior General Lucas.
