At King James Resting Quarter...

"Dad, they have given us room far from Royal King Dominique Hall. How we are supposed to seduce him?" His daughter Princess Ira whined.

King James Both daughters are Beautiful and ambitious but dumb at same time. They were thought by their mother at young age to aim for being Queen of Queens. It was her dream since she was young. She wanted to be Queen of King Damian but King Damian chose Queen Anna for his Bride. After a Queen was chosen no one else can claim a Queen place even if Queen died for some unknown reason.

"My silly girl with your beauty you don't even need to seduce him. when he saw you both, i am sure he came running after you" King James cooed.

"But dad he has already seen us not long ago and it's not like we met first time. we met many time in previous Banquet's" Princess Clover said.

"Royal King seems under stress or something. He looked colder than usual today" King James said wiping his sweats.

"Darling, this Banquet will be our last chance to win Royal King Dominique. Next time we won't get a chance. Council will force him to take a dominant omega princess for mating after Banquet ends" Queen Marylyn said looking out of window.

"Darling, i know but we can't force him to take our daughter's as mate" King James replied.

"Leave that to me my love, you don't need to think much. we already have plan" Queen Marylyn said smiling evilly.

So far Ira and Clover didn't cause much trouble for Dominique if you ignore their tried to meet him here and there. Since Palace was quite busy during preparation of Banquet it hard to locate Dominique because Both areas are separated by Banquet Hall where it's restricted for guest to enter before actual day.

"Daddy, we haven't even seen Royal King Dominique in days. Even getting a glimpse is hard. He don't even came to our side of quarter and we are not allowed to go to his Hall" Princess Clover said in one breath.

"What the point in coming early when we can't even see him" Princess Ira said sadly.

"You have to make the opportunity yourself if it refuses to come to you" Queen Marylyn said clenching his hand.

Days Goes by and their tried to ambush Dominique failed and slowly other guest who are far from Kingdom start to come. There only one day left for Banquet and today King Damian and Queen Anna are returning from their journey.

"Zen, we have to receive King and Queen. Leave the work you doing and meet me at entrance in 10 minutes" Adrian Ordered Zen in Mind link.

"Relax, it's not like they returning first time" Dominique said sipping his tea.

"Ummm.... I think you shouldn't relax" Adrian said hesitating.

Dominique look at him puzzled.

"Why?"

"I was ordered to not reveal this till they are here. Since they are almost here, your both grandparents joining this Banquet" Adrian said looking anywhere but Dominique.

Dominique almost choked on his tea.

"Tell me these matter first so i have choice to escape" Dominique glared wiping his mouth.

Dominique Grandfather's surprisingly don't get along with each other and since Dominique is their only grandson. They like to fight over him whenever they meet. They were not able to join last 2-year Banquet's at same time for some reasons. Dominique can already guess if he didn't meet his fated mate today. They going to fight over which omega princess suit him better.

"I think having them here will be on your favor this time because they won't agree with each other choice so your marriage can be delayed till they reach in one agreement" Adrian suggested.

"What if they more than willing to unified to choose my so-called mate" Dominique said looking out of window.

"Chill, it can't be that bad. I will meet you later"

Adrian gone out to receive Dominique parents.

"If only King have choice too to do as he wishes" Dominique said to himself.

At Palace Entrance...….

"Welcome Back, King and Queen" Adrian Bowed. Zen and rest of guard bowed too.

"Oh hush, Now I am not the King. I just a loving husband and father now" King Damian said proudly to which Queen blushed.

"Stop, embarrassing your queen in front of everyone" His father Leonor said glaring at his son.

King Leonor is a strict ruler and father. He doesn't like youngster's way of showing affection in public.

"Adrian, take us to resting area and call Dominique we want to meet him as soon as possible" He ordered.

"Yes Majesty"

Since Dominique is Royal King now previous King and Queens are Called as King and Queen like rest of Royals because there could be only One Royal King.

At Resting Chamber....

"Adrian where is Dominique? He still hasn't come to greet us?" His Grandfather Leonor enquire.

Adrian and Zen are already sweating buckets because Dominique taking his sweet time to greet his family.

"Your Majesty, King Dominique will be here soon. He was doing some paper work when I left him last" Adrian said nervously.

Rarely people make Adrian nervous and surely King Leonor is one of them.

"Dear, calm down let him come when he done. In your time you stuck in your office too" His wife Queen Lilian said.

"Leonor is impatient as usual" Queen Anna Father King Lukas laughing.

King Lukas and King Leonor are Childhood friends but both are Opposite of each other. King Leonor is known as Strict, cold and Expressionless ruler and King Lukas known for being friendly, warm hearted and Full of smiles. Till this date no one can tell how they can be childhood friends when they argue over each and everything. Even if they bicker over everything, it's not serious. They can be seen enjoying each other company in every Special occasion.

"Shut Up Lukas. It's because of you. You spoiled him too much when he was young. I shouldn't have agreed to let him study with you when he was young" King Leonor said glaring at him.

"We all know I am most suitable to teach him about Royals than you thick head who likes to talk everything with sword" King Lukas said Smiling.

King Lukas preferred to Rule with talk while King Leonor liked to Rule with Sword but still both of them capable on their own. They helped each other with what they lack and at end they ended up being Relative when King Damian choose Queen Anna as his Queen.

"Father please, both of you have teach him your specialty. No one have spoiled him. He just like to do thing on his own accord" Queen Anna said.

After hearing this whole chamber sighs together because it's true since young Dominique prefer to do as he wishes. That's why when he said he don't want to look for his mate when he came to his age no one forced him because even if they try to force him, he would have ignored them. They thought he being rebellious as usual. When he came to his sense, he will find his mate on his own but year's gone by and here he is still without Mate.

Dominique came to Chamber after a while. Adrian still in chamber filling King Damian about his kingdom and rest of Empire. Queen Anna hugged him as soon as she saw him.

"Oh Dominique, Mother have missed you so much"

"I missed you too, Hello father, grandpa and grandma" Dominique said hugging other too.

"How are you my boy? You don't seem good" His grandmother Queen Lesly said hugging him.

"I am fine, I am just tired from paper work" Dominique replied hugging her too.

After chatting some time King Leonor asked Dominique, "Did you have any omega princess in your mind you want to take as bride"

"No" Dominique replied calmly.

"You have to take one at the end of Banquet, you know that right" King Lukas said sounding concern.

King Lukas is not in favor of choosing a mate who is not fated to him but at this rate Dominique will be in complete danger if he didn't mate soon. Chosen mate wouldn't provide him the stability and power a fated mate will provide but at this moment they can't be picky. They can see Dominique struggle even if he doesn't reveal them.

"I am not taking any chosen mate even if they force me to have one" Dominique said before going out.

"This Boy will kill himself" King Leonor said.

"Patience, I am sure Goddess have perfect plan for him. When time come his mate will appear" Queen Lesly said.

"That's where problem lies, its been 6 year and he still haven't found his mate. my patience is wearing thin" King Leonor said.

"We can't do anything about it, we can't force Dominique to mate even if a bride is chosen. I don't know what future will hold tomorrow" King Lukas said.

"We will see father, don't worry. I have high hope this year Dominique will find his mate" King Damian assured.
