- Laith Taher 237
The leader could not believe what he had heard and
was very happy. He had heard Princess was the most
beautiful in the world. Also, getting closer to the king
would increase the Prouds invincibility.
He smiled happily. “This is an honor for me, My
Lord. Let me think and decide who will have the honor of
marrying your noble daughter, the princess, and I shall let
you know soon who it will be.”
The moment he heard the king’s proposal, he
decided that it was he who would marry Florrie because he
was the leader, because he was older than Jarvis, and
because it was he who decided to make peace with the king
and the king’s proposal was the result of that decision.
He had already heard about Princess Florrie’s bad
reputation, and that she flirted with men but he did not care.
Because he was convinced that it was all lies by people
who envied the great king and his daughter. Although he
had immediately decided, that it was him who would marry
the princess, he said that he needed to think, in order to
maintain his and his people’s dignity, which he had already
undermined.
Reynold went to Jarvis’s room to talk to him.
“I want to tell you something I heard Hammond and
Milton talking about,” said Reynold.
“What is it?” asked Jarvis.
Reynold Replied, “King Matthew has made
Hammond an offer to either let him or you marry his
daughter Princess Florrie.”
