Impressed

King Luther was sitting on his chair calmly and majestically, when his eyes met Elizabeth after perusing around the room.

She winked at him and flirtatiously was staring, piercing him with her green-coloured eyes.

Ughh !! he can't get enough of her flirting.

He sensed a little excitement in her but also a bit of worry.

What is she worried about ?!.

He noticed that her father wasn't there beside her. Was she feeling unmotivated ?!!. But why he cared ??. It is not like he knows her personally.

He looked aside avoiding her gaze that was deeply rested on him.

Instead his cousin caught his attention as she stepped out of her chair to perform her talent. He knew his cousin loved to play flute and he loved to listen to it but he was anticipating for something new because he was already getting used to it. So far his cousin might have a secret talent that he didn't know about. Since his cousin was so secretive and herself but he didn't expect his cousin to do the same thing.

His shoulders sunken when he noticed her playing the flute.

So she decided to play the flute !!.

He didn't know if he will be impressed by her performance because he had already listened to her flute many times before until he got bored.

He watched her with his eyes in sorrow, probably she won't get his vote.

Not only because he wasn't impressed but also he didn't want to because he didn't want her to be his queen. He only saw her as a friend and a very close relative. He didn't have those feelings to her.

Uh feelings !!

He admitted that his cousin was beautiful and talented also she had a good heart and that was something he got attracted to her. He could probably made her his queen if there was no competition but he will make sure not to be intimately with her.

So far king Luther had someone in his heart and he wished she was there. He got his suspicion on a lady that seemed to flirt with him a lot but he didn't know if she was the one he was thinking about.

He closed his legs thinking if that woman could be here today, he will probably made her his queen.

But today his feelings for someone else should be put aside. Since he had to carry his duty as a king to choose a potential wife for his kingdom.

He remembered princess Eleftheria and her proposal, it will be beneficial to his country.

After discussing it with his courtiers, they convinced him to choose princess Eleftheria. Although, she was from another kingdom and giving her a title of the queen will put the whole kingdom in turmoil but they did still recommend her for him to choose.

Judging from princess Eleftheria character, she seems of a person who agreed if so to marry him just only because her father forced her.

But if he suppressed himself from having a child with her, it is not going to be a big deal.

If it was only a title that she was after, then he will give her what she wanted while he as well got what she offered for him.

As if speaking of the devil, now it was princess Eleftheria's turn to showcase her talent to the king and the crowd gathered inside.

She stood at the centre, her eyes captured the image of everyone before she focused her eyes on her hands.

As soon as she drew out a sword underneath her skirt which many won't suspect it if it was there, fear grew inside of everyone inside the hall.

What is she doing ??

Guards surrounded the king immediately as if protecting him from any imposing attack from her.

They thought she was planning assassination but she was not.

Their fear was soon replaced by an astonishment when they observed her twirling and dancing with her sword like nothing they expected.

A sword dance !!

Judging from how she was able to handle the sword in her hand, playing, jumping and likely flying with it. She was a warrior who knows how to fight well with her sword.

Another point of agreeing to make her his queen, a queen who can fight and protect the kingdom.

He was truly impressed and he was sure that he won't regret on his choice.

Failed to contain his happiness, he rose from his chair clapping. The whole crowd stood and clapped after him.

Princess Eleftheria bowed to his gesture, a little smile painted on her face.

On the other hand Elizabeth couldn't contain her anger, she frowned. What was she supposed to do ??.

Jealous embraced her heart and can't focus on the competition, her maid stunned to her instalment. "My lady, it is your turn" she said after hearing her mistress's name announced for her to step forward.

Her words felt like a whisper to her ears. Elizabeth didn't have a courage to step forward, she felt like she had already lost in this game.

Will she really win against this filthy princess who seems to take her position already ?!.

She hated her. She hate the fact that she was perfect in everything.

She was capable, talented and she seemed to impress the king.

To hell with her that she came all the way from her kingdom to ask a hand in marriage with their king.

Doesn't she have shame ??

It wasn't like she didn't see the man in her kingdom that she could marry instead of coming here and ruin her chances of marrying the person she loved.

She stomped on her dress when she moved forward and placed herself at the centre.

Her eyes were all over the king, should she bewitch him ?, she thought.

After all there was nothing she could do, only she have to impress him.
