"This is preposterous. How could our Queen get pregnant before marriage?! This is an outrage. It is humiliating!"
"I agree with Minister Klein. The other kingdoms will hear about this and our resources and ally will be declined. This was an agreement for years! We must do something"
"'We suggest the Queen to abdicate the throne and find a more suitable King to rule our kingdom!"
"I agree!!"
"High Minister Rhubarb what do we do?"
High Minister Rhubarb just watched the other Minister and answered
"We will have her married in a few daya"
There were protests but he blindly ignored them
"Meeting adjourned"
And soon he left the room, feeling exhausted. As he walked along the long hallway towards the main hall he heard footsteps and turned around to find Estelle.
"My lord, High Minister Rhubarb may I enquire regarding something. It won't take too much of your time"
"Follow me to my office, Your Highness"
"My lord, please do not address me with that. I am but a humble servant, serving the Queen"
They walked towards the office that were full of books. The table have a neat pile of papers.
Estelle sat down and they continued with their conversation.
"But are you not have the same blood as Her Majesty?"
"Is it true but nobody but you and my brothers as well as the Queen knows of my origin"
"But don't you desire the right to the throne?"
"I do not. I prefer serve to protect, Her Highness and the kingdom"
"You are selfless. That is a great trait but it would be taken advantage of. One must be careful"
Estelle didn't say a word until High Minister Rhubarb ask something that made his eyes widen
"The Ministers wants Her Highness to abdicate the throne. The does not like to have a pregnant monarch taking over, especially a woman"
Estelle was furious.
"How dare they!"
"Do not worry. I propose something better. But it is best I have a word with the Queen as to discuss regarding this issue"
"And that is?"
The old man gave a cheeky glance and answered
"She is to married"
"What? But my Lord, it is going too rapidly"
"It would be better before the time for her to give birth. I assume you know who is the father of the baby, correct?"
Estelle just reluctantly nodded
"I do. But my Lord...what if they disagree with the proposal?"
"We have no choice to let her abdicate the throne"
Shock was shown all over Estelle's face as he was not ready for the news.
"My Lord, what are you saying? That if she didn't get married the ultimatum was for her abdicate the throne? That is unfair!"
"That is why I want to discuss this matter with Her Royal Highness. We must not waste time before the other Minister has any plan to make her abdicate the throne"
