Chapter 239: She confesses to board members.
"So, Edward, are you ready to select your bride?" Governor Bernard asked. (He is Brina’s mother’s best friend)
"I already have" Louis said.
"You already selected?? So early!" Sir Albert said. "Young man, don’t hurry. Otherwise you will suffer like me" he said, for which he got a nice pinch from his wife.
"This old man is just kidding dear. Who is she? Why did you select her? You see, we have promised your father that we would help him in this bride selection. These are hard times for all the Kingdoms and we really can’t take the wrong step while selecting the next Queen" Madam Irene said.
"Madam Irene is right, Edward. Although our Queen isn’t as powerful as the Queen in chess games, she is still as powerful as the King, here. We really can’t make wrong decisions and put your Kingdom in stake." Governor Bernard said.
Louis nodded his head.
"To be frank, I was in love even before I got crowned as crown Prince. You all know that my coronation is an unexpected thing. I really didn’t have other options back then."
"I couldn’t risk my Kingdom nor I could sacrifice my love. You all know how selfish I am. So-" Edward was about to say something but he got interjected.
"So, you manipulated some rules and got your lover to participate too" Sir Albert finished Louis’s words.
"This explains who that new girl in top one position is!" Governor Bernard said.
"But, sir Governor, she got into first position all by herself. I might have manipulated so that she could join the competitions but, I promise that I hadn’t manipulated any event so she could come first. She got there by herself" Louis hastily explained.
