There were endless of protest from the King's gate. The Rebellious fraction wanted some justification about Kiel's on the spot wedding.
Ham Issachar the leader of the said organization is now having a forum with Cyrus.
"Your Highness, Please elaborate as to why our Prince's wedding did not reach our ears? " Ham tried to sound politely.
"But the whole Kingdom knows about it, even the people from the south and west. " Cyrus noted as he seal some documents piled on his desk.
"What? .. Ahem, I mean your Highness, since when they started to be committed for each other? " Ham asked in shocked and disbelief.
"Since two years ago. " Cyrus muttered desiring to finish the argument.
"Your Highness would you please at least give us a brief background of the said bride? " Ham persisted wanting to find some loophole.
"She is from the west. Filadelfa Mystica. A descendant of Queen Jezebel. " Cyrus muttered without looking at the said leader.
Ham hath undertood the summary and gist of what the King have said. So in utter surprised Ham excused his self and apologized to his stubborn argument. Cyrus just gestured that it was worthwhile and heard his palace door slam shut. Ham pace in bewilderment.
After the said wedding Lila was required by the Queen to train under her wing. As much as Kiel wanted more solid and romantic time with his now wife. He needed to abide. Kiel wanted Lila to gain some self esteem and confidence. It's the best way to show his support.
It's been days since Queen Gardenia have requested Lila's sojourn over her palace. The Vine Palace where the royal wives are brought up and educated. And for the past few days all of the instruction given to her was to tend her body, style her hair and acquire some fashion sense.
Gardenia would personally teach her about how to maintain her virgin hair. How to style her original bouncy curls that was ironed by the fire ring. How to match the colours and memorize the texture of the garments and to practice proper hygiene. Just this things tire her out and the King's birthday is up in the calendar. The month where the sky will be clemented by aurora borealis.
The Palace haste to busyness charming the halls. It is the time of the month that the palace passages is free from concealment. It is the King's birthday. The time where people are allowed to personally honour their King. The whole Kingdom are holding a banquet that can accommodate grains of sands. Lead and Coordinated by Gardenia and Lila.
Thanks to Gardenia's gentle way of teaching Lila have practiced the basic etiquettes. They have time slots and frame for each Kingdom and people to visit. The Tale Beares will be the last to laureate the King.
Von and Wee recieved a recognition badge from the King for helping and accomplishing the devine assignment Cyrus had entrusted to them before Kiel's wedding and Lila's healing. Lila can now speak but the said engravings are still visible on her neck.
The people who wanted to thanks and greet the King seem to be endless. It's pass midnight and they still have five person on the line. Gardenia and Lila ate now on their third casual garments. A gown with oceanic blue and crimson highlights. After the five person who have given him their fresh crops and crafts. Kiel was the first one to enter from the Tale Bearers.
" Don't expect me to be formal today father. Because right now I am here as your son. " Kiel warned as he started to pray.
" Our Heavenly Father who have fated us to be one family. I am beyond blessed to have a King Cyrus Radney Vine Oathniel to be my father. I hereby plead for a gift not worth of my father's service but of the richness of your ability. "
A cloack made of tears was formed mid air. It was plain emerald with some vines tracing the edges. Kiel folded it and handed it to his father with a wide grin.
Urchin and Hexel came in. Urchin just run toward the King and Kiss his hand. After his childish and cute gesture Urchin's tiny hand held up a book mark made of fish scale with preseved henna petal inside. Hexel on the other hand prayed.
"Our Holy God who have armed and prospered our King, I humbly pray for a present that would be useful and would create an impact to the one he dearly love. Amen. "
A pen crafted with wings and fish pins was surrendered by Hexel.
Natalina came in with simple greetings. And handed her gift. It is a seal with his wife's sculpture on their wedding day.
"Uncle... when I prayed... and seek the Lord for a gift. The Lord hath encouraged me to craft the face and frame of someone you dearly love. If you find it disturbing, then I will hand a new gift tomorrow. " Natalina explained as she knelt in front of Cyrus.
Cyrus just put his index finger on his lips as he winked and whispered a genuine thank you. With that Natalina bowed and uttered her good night toward Cyrus.
Lehi and Ophir came in. They both bowed toward the King and clasp their hands as they prayed.
"Our Sovereign Father who govern all aunthorities. We declare protection and wisdom toward our King. Let it be that you bestow unto us a gift that pleases you and not of us. Amen. "
A bowtie with charcoal texture and stripe of black and white got conceived in their joint palms. When Lehi and Ophir saw it. They both gave the King an assuring smile. It's something that is popular in the era where they came from. King Cyrus strangely observed but nonetheless Cyrus accepted it.
Lila is still on the process of adopting in using a gift. Plus Queen Gardenia said they needed time to unravel wht her gift would be so she made a chime out threads.
"Your Highness please accept my simple present and thank you for accepting me in your Kingdom without prejudice. "
Lila humbly bowed her head as she speak of her grattitude.
"How about you start calling me father from now on. " Cyrus ordered instead of inquiring.
Lila tilt her head in a shy manner. Cyrus wanted to motivate her and followed up with smirk.
"Then, I won't acknowledge your gift, If you refuse my request. "
Lila suddenly greeted Cyrus with pink face. Afraid to see her gift be thrown.
" Ha... Happy Birthday Fa... Fa.. ther. "
Cyrus spared her since she seem to be doing her best to support herself from collapsing out of sheer embarasment.
The night was long for Cyrus. After his shower he joined Gardenia on their bed.
"With the countless gift I recieved today. The one I am looking forward to have is from you. "
Cyrus whispered as he brush a strand of Gardenia's hair. Gardenia chuckled and kiss him on the cheek.
She handed him a scroll with cylidrical protection made of sapphire.
Cyrus sat up and excitedly unroll the said letter. It is his wife's hand writing.
