Anthony's POV:
Heading to the royal hall for my birthday celebration... I saw no single soul. The hall was quite like a grave yard and was been decorated professionally... And it send a sense of birthday ceremony.
I looked around the hall once more and still no single being passed by. My parents should know me by now... I hate celebrating my birthdays outside this royal hall... If so, I won't bother attending it.
In seconds someone covered my eyes... It wasn't violent but my mind prayed that it should be Aria who's closing my eyes. Then I heard loud voices shouting...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR MAJESTY".
The hands which covered my eyes came off... I turned around to see my grandmother from my dad's side.
She had a wide smile on her face.
"Surprise". She said smugly.
Yes I was surprised and glad to see her.
"Grandmother". I said as my surprised face shipped to a happy one.
I quickly hugged her as she did same patting my back.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?".
"Why will I do that. If I did so... It won't be a surprise. Besides... I missed your coronation I can't miss this one 😀". She answered dragging my cheeks.
"Alright go on and enjoy your birthday... I don't want people to say I'm stealing you away". She joked and walked off.
I turned to face the maidens, guards and every servant that served in this palace to see them smiling happily.
"Happy Birthday Your Highness... It's Wonderful To Celebrate Your Birthday And To See A Smile On Your Face Once Again. May You Live Long With A Happy, Strong And Peace Full Mind". They all said in union.
It surprised me and I liked it as well. Aria came out of the crowd and shouted.
"LONG LIVE THE KING".
"FOREVER". They all chorused raising their hands up.
"LONG LIVE THE KING". She shouted once more and all chorused...
"FOREVER".
They clapped their hands cheerfully as I kept my stare on Aria to see a smile on her face. She likes the birthday.
Everyone left to their duty post as the guest started coming in and taking their sits. And then tension was evident on Aria's expression. She started running around trying to attend to all the guest. As she put on a genuine smile welcoming them in.
Such a funny girl.
"Happy birthday son".
I shipped my gaze from Aria to see my parents standing opposite me.
"Happy birthday dear". Mother said with a smile.
"I appreciate".
"Do you like the birthday celebration?". Father asked
"Yes". I answered distantly walking to my throne with a fake smile and sat down.
My parents stood in front of me, mother had a smile on but my father had a serious expression plastered on his face.
"Son there are beautiful and responsible women, here on your birthday this is a chance to pick a wife". He said.
The fake smile I had on my face dropped as it turned to a frowned.
"I picking a woman here is only going to lead me to sleeping with one of them and throwing them out the window".
"And then you'll get married to them".
