Bride of the Twin Jades Pt 2

The Twins and Song Lan traveled for three days before stopping at a small village on the very edge of their kingdom. There they restocked on some of their supplies and sat down to discuss where to start looking for a bride.

"Not Lanling Jin... Last." Lan Zhan murmurs, tapping a well maintained claw on the section of the map.

"We will also avoid Qishan Wen as well..." Lan Huan nods in agreement. "It is best not to tempt fate. King Wen Rouhan will either force us to pick an Omega from his kingdom to be our mate or declare war for the 'insult' should we decline his 'generous offer.' That leaves Qinghe Nie, Yunmeng Jiang and the Burial Mounds."

"The Burial Mounds are a Mass Grave, no one would dare live in them." Song Lan points out.

"No, but there are many small villages that are on the outskirts of the Burial Mounds. I would rather search there before even considering Lanling Jin. King Jin Guangshan is another one who would try to force an Omega or twenty upon us in hopes of having not only a high seat in the Council but now familial ties to the Royal family as well as a blood claim to the throne through the heir we would have to produce with our mate." Lan Huan points out as his twin gives a soft hum of agreement, a frown of distaste twisting his lips.

"Well for the Council's choice from both Qinghe and Yunmeng would be Princess Nie Huaison and Princess JIang Yanli. However, seeing as you've both grown up with Princess Nie, and have never once shown an interest in him, It is safe to assume we will not be staying long in Qinghe... Most Omegas are engaged upon presenting to ensure they are safe and protected from attempted rapes and kidnapping. I doubt there will be available Omegas, but we can start in Qinghe and make our way from there to Yunmeng. I hear Princess Jiang is a soft spoke and gentle Omega with a calming disposition. If it is not a love match, she would be ideal for an arranged match. She is not so soft to be a mindless puppet, but neither would she make demands or dare to step out of bounds. She would respect your wishes and only ask the same in return." Song Lan points out, tapping his own clawed finger at the two captials of the neighboring kingdoms.

"Mn, logical... will keep in mind." Lan Zhan murmurs.

"We want a love match, but we will also make a list of ideal arranged matches if needed." Lan Huan agrees and after they work out travel plans and expenses, they order dinner and then head to bed at 9pm on the dot...

When they arrived in Qinghe's Board village they were met by Princess Nie Huaisang and a small entourage of guards. They had lunch in the Headman's home and the Princess handed over a list, a very small list.

"Brother sent me warning that you might be stopping here first just to clear it out of the way while avoiding Lanling and Qishan like the plague." He say behind his fan, the semi transparent veil over his head covering his eyes while his fan hid his mouth. it was impossible to tell what his expression was, but the two Alpha Princes hardly paid him mind. "Brother also asked me to begin brushing up on Lan Culture and ettequite in the event that should you not find a love match, you will pick a wife. That list is the available Omegas who have yet to see the Match Maker and have an engagement arranged or their fiance has recently died or broke off the engagement. They are at the Inn and will be informed when you wish to spend the day with them. We are also trying to avoid you coming to the palace because our own Council is trying to take advantage that brother is not here to gain more control and to sell me off into marriage either to one of their own or to you. They wouldn't be above shoving their own progeny onto you as well."

"We figured as much." Lan Huan sighs as he looks over the list, only 15 Omegas. "Let us rest and in two days we will begin with Maiden Hu."
