Chapter 194 Chapter 194 TWO YEARS LATER .
PRINCESS AEKEIRA Are we going to keep ignoring the elephant in this court , Your gliness ? The court had been busy all day with talk of negotiations and upcoming festivities .
You would think that after such a long to leave , go home , and have a hot bath .
deliberation , the ministers would want nothing more ..
But no .
Court was never truly complete until the elephant in the room was addressed .
The last time , King Orestuss fury had been so frightening that the ministers had scurried away , like rats fleeing a sinking ship .

Six months since it was last brought up , but now here it was , rearing its head again .
All eyes turned to Minister Jacques , who was glazing at Aekeira .
She met that glare with one of her own .
King Orestus , who had been about to leave his seat , paused .
With a sigh , he settled back down .
What do you mean , Jacques ? The overseer of military affairs broke his glare at Aekeira long enough to stand .
I mean those girls , Your Highness .
At this -point , our people are distraught .
We once discussed sending them to the breeding houses , which Ladamantly refused , King Orestus added .
Indeed you did , Your Highness .
We suggested the brothel- I refused that too .
Minister Jacques nodded .
Its … quite baffling at this point .
We have not one , but two females in this kingdom who refuse to serve the land .
They will not fulfill their roles in society , and you , sire , are enabling them .
Look at them , they are getting old , approaching the end of their ripe years .
Aekeira is- You will address them properly , the king snapped angrily .
I I apologize , Your Highness .
I was not thinking straight .
Minister Jacques jumped , clearing his throat nervously .
Princess Aekeira is twenty seven , and her sister is twenty four .
Most girls their age have four or five children by now .
Yet here they are , where they have no right to be … in the court of men .
Listening and even contributing verbally to court proceedings .
It is beyond appalling .
A murmur of agreement swept through the court .
Some ministers glanced at Jacques with pure admiration .
He had voiced what they were too much of a coward to .
Aekeira almost laughed .
Here we go again .
I … umm … I would like to second what Jacques has said , Your Highness , Minister Murphy stood stiffly .
We do not have many females .
We cannot afford to let those we have go to waste Princess Emeriel deceived this court for over twenty years , and in the two years since , you have said nothing of her punishment .
If she is to be spared for the sin of deceit , the least she could do is fulfill her duties to the kingdom .
You mean she should let you between her legs , King Orestus said crudely .
Minister Murphy flushed a deep red , his eyes darting around the room .
I mean … it would be for the betterment of the 10:30 Tue , Jan 21 GE Chapter 191 kingd- What would be for the betterment of the kingdom is to have the likes of you strung up and hung in the square ! Emeriel shot up from her seat , furious .
The room exploded into disorder .
Aekeira winced , as Emeriel glared icicles at the high ranking ministers .
Men like you , Emeriel seethed , cutting through the noise , who roam the kingdom violating everyone you come across , sticking your organ into both young and old , all in the name of the betterment of society .
You should be hung , and your organs cut off ! She pinned each minister with a frosty glare .
That would be for the betterment of the kingdom ! Roars of outrage surrounded them .
How dare she !? Such disrespect ! What an insolent little brat ! King Orestus grabbed his gavel and struck it hard , roaring above the mayhem The murmurs faded to a low hum but didnt entirely stop .
SILENCE ! Another minister rose , looking stern .
Your Highness , you cannot let such insolence go unpunished .
She insulted not just one of us , but all of us .
Such defiance must be met with consequences .
Emeriel didnt flinch , her cold eyes still locked on the vultures of court .
Times like this , Aekeira found it difficult to reconcile this Emeriel with the sister she once knew .
Who was this angry bull of a stranger facing off the court ? Over the years , Emeriel had … changed .
Aekeira had seen each gradual shift , witnessed every small difference until the change was complete .
Now , Em was warm with only one person , Aekeira herself .
With everyone else , she was either frigid or burning with anger .
Her defenses were constantly up , and the caring , compassionate Emeriel was long gone .
This Emeriel didnt care about others feelings , she spoke her mind with no regard for the fallout , daring anyone to challenge her .
It was almost as if she wanted to be punished .
Like now .
No one , absolutely no one , mouthed off to the ministers .
Others who had tried were either banished or executed .
They were known as the ministers of doom for a reason , just as King Orestus was known as the tyrant king .
We cannot condone such an act , a minister was saying .
We demand punishment- Emeriel scoffed , crossing her arms .
A bunch of scums hiding under the veil of power- Em … ! Aekeira hissed , fear prickling through her .
Stop before you go too far ! Thats enough , King Orestus snapped .
Leave the court , Emeriel .
10:30 Tue , Jan 21 Chapter 194 Emeriel looked ready to defy the king , her jaw set and eyes buring .
But then , her gaze met Aekeiras .
Something in Ackeiras eyes seemed to reach through the fury .
Was it the fear , the concern , or her pleas ? Ackeira had no idea , but some of the anger seep out of her sister , her shoulders deflating .
Without another word , Emeriel whirled around and stormed ou of court .
Thank the gods .
The king faced his ministers .
As I have said before , this matter is not up for discussion .
The princesses were my brothers children ; now , they are mine .
They will not be treated in that manner His gaze swept across the court .
Ackeira has transformed the gardens and plantations .
Thanks to her , weve had bountiful harvests over the years .
The overseer of agriculture will bear witness to that , isnt that right , Minister Edward ? The minister flushed , clearing his throat .
V very correct , Your Majesty .
And Emeriel has returned to the soldiers , training and hunting .
She is exceptional at that , having taken down more men in battle than most of our warriors .
Many of you have witnessed her skills firsthand , havent you , Minister of Military Affairs ? Minister Jacques shifted uncomfortably , unable to meet the kings eyes .
He gave a stiff nod .
King Orestus clucked his tongue .
Just because they do not part their thighs for men and breed children doesnt mean they do not serve this kingdom .
Do you hear me ?
