The royal nuptial of Baru

Today is a big day for the kingdom of Baru. It is thee day the kingdom once again has a queen after such a long time. Especially because king Barean never seemed interested in getting married and that possibly meant the end of the Baru royal bloodline as there was no heir to ascend the throne.

Leuhtaz is in Osaka's room helping him to get dressed for the occasion and also trying to converse with him before the wedding commences.

–So you're marrying him sister?– asked Osaka.

–I don't have a choice Osaka. Please reason with me–

–But he killed father– exclaimed Osaka.

–And we're still to avenge father's death. But for now, we have to play along Osaka–

As Leuhtaz was convincing Osaka to accept her wedding to king Barean, Miss Cassava, one of the servants entered the room.

–We need to prepare for the ceremony my queen–

–I'll be there in a second Miss Cassava– said Leuhtaz with a smile.

Miss Cassava bowed and then exited the room. Leuhtaz moved closer to Osaka, begging for Osaka to maintain his cool as the man ruthless like king Barean wouldn't think twice before removing obstacles in his way. Even if the obstacle is his brother in law.

–Please Osaka, reserve your anger–

–I won't cause any trouble sister... I promise– reluctantly said Osaka.

–Okay then... bow-ties looks good on you– said Leuhtaz with a smile as she was fixing Osaka's bow-tie. She then exited the room to prepare herself for today's ceremony.

Outside the palace, people were arriving to the palace with gifts, even the kings and subjects of other kingdoms came to the wedding. King Barean was looking outside from his window while sipping his whiskey. While his servants were helping him get dressed. One of his guards brought the regent of Unthra to his chambers.

–Ah, regent. Just the man I wanted to see–

–Greetings my king–

–How is our plan proceeding?–

–Great I must say. The queen seems to be growing fond of prince Aquero–

–If that is the case then, I shall offer you a drink from the chest of royalty– said the king as he was pouring the regent a drink from his bottle.

They did a toast and both had a sip from their drinks. Queen Khalifa walked into king Barean's chambers and found her regent and her brother drinking whiskey from the same bottle.

–I did not expect to see my regent sharing whiskey with my brother in his chambers– said the queen.

–My queen– bowed the regent. –I just came to congratulate king Barean on his big day– explained the regent.

Queen Khalifa remained quiet. The regent put the glass of whiskey down in front of the queen's eyes and the queen noticed the bracelet she saw on the man that king Barean met in secret the last time she visited the palace of Baru.

–Fine bracelet regent– said the queen.

–Thank you my queen. Ever since my wife got it for me, I never took it off– said the regent with a smile.

–Goodluck king Barean... my queen– The regent bowed before the royal blood of Baru and then left the room.

–What business do you have with my regent brother?–

–He just came to congratulate the brother of his queen. There's no fault in that, is there sister?–

–I guess not... Well I also came to congratulate you but I see my regent beat me to it, so I'll be on my way then– The queen approached the door.
