~Anduin~
Anduin moved further into the war room. He felt the eyes of the nobles burn into his form as he took a seat, he was aware how persistent the nobles were going to become about him courting a eligible lady and eventually producing an heir. The room was silent and had a anxious atmosphere, the nobles visibly fidgeting.
After a few quite moments one of the nobles stood and bowed his head to Anduin. The noble whom chose to start the discussion was a tall plump man dressed in robes displayed his position and wealth.
"Your highness thank you for coming before the council at such a short notice. " he said softly looking Anduin over for any sign of annoyance. Finding none he continued on. " We all know you've been busied with the hardships of the war, and are seeming to handle it quite well. " he complimented trying to relax the feeling in the room.
Anduin nodded his head in appreciation. " Thank you. Now please get on with what you have to say, as you are aware I have things i must get back to " The young king said as he adjusted himself in his seat.
" Ah yes your highness of course ! Now your majesty as you know with becoming king you've gained more responsibility and leadership of not only Stormwind but the Alliance as well. But as king there are some traditions that need to be performed " The noble spoke with confidence lacing throughout his voice.
Anduin looked at the man with his piercing blue eyes. He knew his responsibilities and the traditions to follow but he couldn't help the feeling of being treated still as if he was a young child. " Yes I'm well aware, please continue "
The nobles demeanor suddenly changed before he opened his mouth " well your majesty ... since you've been crowned it's tradition to court and take a lady for your queen so you may produce an heir to take to the throne" the noble said now standing awkwardly. He wasn't sure how the young king was going to react, he had
heard stories of the previous Kings reaction and did not wish a repeat.
Anduin sighed softly and looked at at all the nobles in the room. His mind instantly went to his parents arranged Marriage, from the story's from his father it started off rocky but Varian and Tiffen eventually grew to love each other.
"I see the house of nobles have been planing this for a while then. I assume you have a lady in mind then for courting ?" Anduin asked curiously but wondering who'd be thrown into this crazed world with him.
The nobles all glanced at each other before the one standing smiled at the king. " Your majesty we do have a lady in mind. She is from the house of Duskren, she is the same age as you maybe slightly younger your highness. Described as a strong spirited woman and a intelligent lady. We the house of nobles believe she would be perfect for
the House of Wrynn." he explained proudly looking for the Kings approval
Anduin was quite sure how he felt. He understood why it was important to the kingdom for him to have a wife and child but personally he didn't know how to react. His blue eyes looked at the nobles and nodded his head.
" When do I get to meet her? " he asked curiously. Thoughts ran through his head about the appearance and the personality this woman would have.
The noble smiled at the lack of distaste and rejection the young man had. " By morning if your highness I'll send for her right away " the noble bowed his head and scurried out of the room with the rest of the nobles trailing behind him.
"By the light ....morning ...." mumbled Anduin slowly relaxing from the kingly persona he had to display. He let his hand run through his golden hair as his sorted through his thoughts. Never did he ever truly think about marriage he was always too engrossed in his studies of the light.
Now that he had a chance to process he felt him become nervous for a reason he couldn't quite explain. He arose from his chair and started his way towards the hall. His thoughts still clouding his mind from clarity . He just have to wait till morning to clear them.
