Chapter 262 - Louis Announces Their Relationship

Yet, these houses don't want to give up. 

Prince Edward just hugged her. 

That hug could just be a friendly one. Who knows?? 

However, burning down the hopes of the Houses, Louis immediately kissed her. 

It happened in a matter of seconds. Prince Edward hugging Brina and then kissing her as soon as his arms wrapped around her. 

Even King Edgar stood there, rooted in his position, shocked. 

He didn't expect this! 

Meanwhile, even Brina was shocked. However, she quickly composed herself and reciprocated his kiss, pouring all her love and overwhelming emotions in it. 

"I know we are destined," Louis said, however the King and others could listen to it due to the pin drop silence that just etched in the hall. 

"We had all our firsts with each other. Isn't it simply too beautiful? I just couldn't believe it" 

"My childhood sweetheart was you. You were my best friend back then. Again, you become my friend in academy and you have been my first crush, the one with whom I had my first kiss. Later, we parted and met in Country H. You became my first love and the only woman I dated till now. I just couldn't believe how we have been meeting each other again and again" Louis said, smiling at her. 

Brina's eyes brimmed with tears. "Even I couldn't believe it. No wonder I felt very comfortable with you back in the academy as well as in country H where we met a few months back. When I found out you are Prince, I was devastated. But now, I am really glad that I made the right decision by coming here. You are my destiny, the torch which walked me in the right path." Brina said, and all again their lips crushed into each other. 

Meanwhile, some could feel their eyes brimming with happy tears, while some of the others were still in shock. However, their destined love moved them. 

The happiest person is King Edgar here. He still remembers Rhea and Jennifer (Louis and Brina's mother's) promising each other to marry their children to each other. 

If they were here right now, they would have been the happiest persons alive. 

After the long and passionate kiss, Louis and Brina have at last acknowledged that they aren't alone. 

As Louis has 'just' kissed her now, blowing up their secret love, it means he has so much to explain. 

Louis coughed to clear his throat. His hands which are wrapped around her waist loosened a bit as his hand trailed down through her arm to entwine their fingers. 

With his hand holding hers tightly, Louis looked at his father. 

"Father, you have asked me if I have someone I love, however, that day I have lied to you. Although I wanted to tell you about me and Brina, I was not able to do so. It's because Brina asked me not to, so that she could win fair and square. She didn't want to use our relationship to win and was adamant to win based on her potential. She took a promise from me that I shouldn't help her in any way. That's why I couldn't tell you" Louis said. 

"But now, I don't think continuing the competitions will make sense. We have already seen how capable Brina is. And, her background isn't a matter to be concerned anymore because she is clearly on the top in this case." 

"Besides this, she is also in top. With Olivia eliminated and banished, Brina doesn't have any potential opponent" Louis said. 

As soon as Louis finished, the whole hall erupted with whispers. 

Yes, it's clear that Brina is far more capable than anyone here. She is after all the famous and most loved princess of the powerful, Kingdoms Wentris.  

However, they abruptly can't cancel the events and announce her as next Queen, right? 

Competition is competition! 

Rules must be followed! 

Just because she is a lover of Prince Edward, Goddaughter of King Edgar, they shouldn't show partiality and hurt the other ladies. 

Meanwhile, King Edgar is totally happy and he seems to agree with Louis. Actually he couldn't wait to have another daughter added to his tiny family. 

However, he is aware that this is not an easy task. If he would have known that his son is in love and that too with his best friend's daughter, he would have tried to prevent this bride selection from happening. 

But, it already started so it is bound to be finished before selecting their Queen. As all the houses have to vote as well, till the last step, the results might change. 

Katherine is still a potential candidate! 

It is not that other houses are opposing Brina from becoming Queen but their hearts are yet to accept the fact. 

After all, they nurtured the ladies of their houses to become Queen. So, letting that opportunity go is simply shameful. 

Meanwhile, Katherine's father stood up. 

"Your highness, I am sorry to disturb the reunion, but my house will not accept Prince's decision. Bride selection must finish before the Queen is selected" he said, bowing a little. 

"We don't agree too, your highness" Kiara's father said, as he stood up. 

"Yes. Though the bride selection is to select our Queen, there are other factors that are connected to this event too, your highness. The rankings of every lady are extremely important to the Houses so that we could form alliance's among us." Katherine's father said. 

Though the ladies might not win, the rankings affect other aspects. 

Like, forming alliance's, stabilizing their positions in their internal clans and houses etc. 

King Edgar sighed internally. He knows this would happen. This event is very prestigious that Houses would never agree to stop them in the middle. 

"We will discuss this tomorrow morning. All the ladies have not slept properly all night and have been through a lot. They must have a good rest and even we all have other immediate matters to discuss about" King Edgar announced. 

They have to conduct emergency meetings and secure all the borders and alert the people. 

Not only that, but they have to make sure the court stays stable. 

Everyone agreed with King's decision and all the ladies were escorted to their suites in the palace. 

Even the leaders of their respective Houses followed the ladies so that they could discuss the matters with them. 

Meanwhile, Louis, Brina, the Royal family and Remus's family went to the living quarters of the Royal family. 

The Prime minister, Queen mother Greta and the remaining Royal guards are still in the Alpha Academy helping the Governor Bernard to settle the matters and support the students. 

Queen mother Greta and the Royal guards would be coming after a few days while the Prime minister would be returning this evening.
