The Barbaric Proposition {Royal Engagement Series 1}

1. Chaos In The Ceremony

Fifth Month of the Era of 1630 >>>

The days has started become hot. After the morning session of the royal court few of the ministers left behind to discuss something with the Samrat. The Health Minister Pavan smiled at Samrat, "Samrat two days later it will be your birthday ceremony. It has been 3 years already that the ShtriMahal is blooming but the position of the Samragyi is still empty. I know I shouldn't interfere in this matter but this also has become political issue of the country so we all here, your loyal sevaks thinks that you must chose your Samragyi this time"

Manik glanced at him, "Health Minister are you suggesting or ordering me indirectly? I must say you are quite free from the matter or your own manor"

Pavan's smile stiffened instantly, "Samrat I don't dare to do that, please forgive me for overstepping my boundary"

"Samrat please calm down" Prime Minister Birbhrat spoke, "as your sevak we wouldn't dare to have other thoughts other than your welfare of course. What my colleague Minister Pavan saying is not also wrong. It's not only about the court but the whole kingdom is discussing about it. It's not like Samrat don't have a wife even if it was unofficial. Samrat I request you, please think over our pleading and choose a wife from ShtriMahal to give a proper title. The position of Samragyi couldn't stay empty for long. It will rise unnecessary suspicion in the heart of the citizens" he said tactfully to avoid Samrat's anger who was looking at him with gloomy expression.

The Court of Gangghor consists of 5 main higher position below the Samrat. The first position was for the Advisor who stays with Samrat to suggest in important matters. Then The Raj Purohit — the bhramin family who is serving the royalty over century with generation.Raj Purohit is responsible for the wellbeing of the country and the royal family. Then The Prime Minister - The Health Minister - Millitary Administrative. There are many other lower grade ministers who plays certain role in the court matters. 

Seeing the atmosphere the Finance Minister Himmat also joined this conversation.The Prime Minister who had sent his daughter in The ShtriMahal too the chance to point about the Samragyi matter then how could he stay behind.

"Samrat, as a minister in the court and serving you all these years we are concerned. The ShtriMahal is full of beautiful woman. If Samrat has given a thought then choosing a consort is not difficult. They are all noble birth and has been educated since they are young. They wouldn't lack in any field. They could play a great role only if Samrat is kind to them for once" he said with a smile. He had sent his daughter who is beautiful and intelligent. He believes once Samrat takes a look at her he couldn't resist her. Afterall as a young monarch, who's blood is hot and growing age, can he ignore the delicate beauty? He doesn't think so nor the other ministers. But the greates problem is Samrat never took a step in ShtriMahal since they started to sent their daughters then how will there be an opportunity to see them?

Manik looked at the prideful expression of the minister. He wasn't oblivious of their intention. In order to get hold of him and the court they had forgot their morals and sent their daughters in the ShtriMahal shamelessly in the name of helping him. They think a beauty could control him the way they want. He slightly narrowed his eyes at them.

"I appreciate the concerns of my dear ministers are showing. As a ruler I am glad I have such loyal sevaks serving the kingdom" Manik said slowly. He observed the their expression and continued with his words, "but alas the ShtriMahal don't have such capable person who could help me inwardly"

The ministers looked at eachother with confusion. Don't have a capable person in ShtriMahal? They couldn't believe the Samrat really said such thing. There are many beauties in the ShtriMahal. Most of them sent their daughters so that they can use their beauty to seduce the Samrat. But unexpectedly the Samrat didn't even have them any status and put them in the inner palace and asked his aunt to handle it. This was already a hard slap on their face.
