King&Knight

XI

The next day, all 5 contestants gathered in the hall. The King and Queen stood in front of them and everyone was curious about their presence.

The queen looks towards Phayu and PraPai and sighs. After returning, Phayu announced that he wanted to court Rain and also wanted to end the contest.

PraPai wasn’t sure about Sky but when compared to other people he met, PraPai felt more interested in Sky. He wanted to try courting Sky too to see if they are compatible.

Since both already choose their Partners, King and Queen felt it was best to end the competition in such a way that Rain and Sky be selected and others also doesn’t question the fairness of the contest

“I know you are curious about why we have gathered here..” The Queen spoke as she looked towards everyone.

Rain and Sky look at each other before looking back at the Queen who sighs before speaking, “Let’s not waste anymore time, the next task is your last task… we will officially choose a consort who is going to be courted by Prince Phayu and General PraPai…”

Everyone had a serious look on their face as they waited for the Queen to announce the task. The Queen stares at each contestant and then spoke,

“3 days from today, the late day of this competition. We are having a ball, whoever is successful in winning over Prince Phayu and General PraPai’s heart would be selected. So in these 3 days, try as much as possible to build your relationship and make them like you..”

“This feels like a dating show that we used to watch…” Rain whispered as Queen explains more about the task

“Really…” Sky agreed and started to get bored.

Later they were allowed to return back to their room, Sky threw the veil as he lays on the bed while staring at ceiling blankly as he spoke,

“If Phayu and PraPai are the one to select then our chances are 0% but still it’s better to be cautious”

“Hm, P’Phayu isn’t interested in me and same for me. So, don’t worry too much, Sky..” Rain assured Sky as looks towards older guy

“It’s better to be safe than sorry…” Sky spoke calmly

“Aah! Finally we can go home!” Rain shouted in excitement

“And I can get rid of this veil…” Sky stares at the veil as he speaks.

                     Meanwhile, PraPai was walking to and fro in the library while Phayu seemed to be reading something. His expression changed from curious and surprised to horrified then hesitating as he read.

“It’s confirmed that Kai is Sky but why is he doing this..” PraPai whispered to himself as he wondered, “… Does he have an ulterior motive or…”

He turned to look at Phayu but found Phayu having mixed expressions, “What are you reading?”

PraPai walked towards Phayu and asked, Phayu quickly closed the book and slammed it on the table with an ashamed look on his face.

“Phayu?” PraPai stares at Phayu with a puzzled look before taking the book from him.

PraPai burst into laughter before looking back at his cousin, “Why are you reading this? You can ask me instead, I have more knowledge than this book..”

“PraPai!” Phayu hissed in embarrassment but he didn’t look upset, “Rain told me about some weird things so I am curious to know about it..”

“Rain is kinky?” PraPai asked in amusement
