Chapter 171: Advice

Inside one of the corridors of the castle of the kingdom of Erela. King Asmit was gracefully walking down the aisle with his head high up in the air and expressing a stoic expression on his beautiful face. The knights standing at the side of the corridor were bowing their heads as he passed through them.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

As King Asmit reached a room with wooden double doors, he stopped and let the knights open the door for him. As he stepped inside, he slowly exhaled and faced the three people on the elevated platform of the room. Each of them was staring at him while expressing no emotions on their seemed to be never fading beautiful faces.

The door closed and only four of them were left inside.

And without a delay, Farga who was sitting in the middle of the three members of the Elder council released his crossed arms. "King Asmit. I hope you are fully aware of what you have done."

King Asmit expressed a proud smile as he veered his face towards Farga. "I am. And I am not regretting it... and will do it again if I have to."

"Because of what you have done, you have just lost a huge chunk of your followers, are you willing to sacrifice your throne just to save that... curse?" Hargid asked as his right eyebrows slowly rose.

"Am I willing to save that child from the awful tradition of this kingdom? Yes. Am I going to lose my throne for saving an innocent life from horrible people like the three of you? I am afraid not. The majority of the people of this kingdom fully agreed with what I just did, they are just reluctant to speak out because the loud minority will persecute them."

What sounded next was Kalim's baritone laughter. "Did I just hear... Minority?"

King Asmit's proud smile became much more pronounced. "Yes, you heard it right. Because, if it's not the minority who are against me... I should not be standing here in front of you as the glorious king of the kingdom of Erela."

What came next was a long and arduous silence as the two of the members of the Elder council just stared at King Asmit with visible annoyance on their beautiful faces.

"My love!" Queen Ayani rushed to greet her husband and gently pulled her toward the wooden crib. "You should see this!" She said with a huge smile on her beautiful face.

King Asmit let his wife pull him toward the wooden crib and stared at the two babies inside.

"Look at them, My Love. They look adorable together, right? Our Leal is holding her hand." Queen Ayani cheerfully said while staring at the two.

Just like what Queen Ayani said, baby Leal was holding the baby girl's hand while expressing a sweet smile on his innocent face.

However, King Asmit just stared at them with apparent defeat on his face that he did not even notice that Queen Ayani just hugged him.

"Should we come up with a good name for her? I have been thinking, how about... Lei? So our Leal and she have similar-sounding names. What do you think, My love?"

But what Queen Ayani received was a slow exhale and an apologetic stare coming from King Asmit.

"Is there a problem, My love?"

King Asmit gently removed Queen Ayani's hands hugging him and stared directly into her jade green eyes. "We need to talk."

As if Queen Ayani instantly understood what the matter was all about, her eyes instantly shrouded in sadness while slowly shaking her head. "No."
