~Hello, Sweets. I'm in the middle of editing this story. I'm sorry if it takes a few days to fix the chapters. When I was reading this chapter, I found it fluffy and had almost no plot. That's why I combined it with another chapter. I don't think I'll ever go back to this writing style, but I will try my best to perform a fix-it for this story. Thank you so much for being so patient.

The next morning, Harry summoned Lord Vendil Malik and his sister, Lady Ahenka Liba, to the throne room. When they got there, Zayn was already present.
"Greetings, Lord Malik. Lady Liba."
"Your Majesty," They both curtsy to the King.
"I've asked for your presence today because you two are Zayn's closest families." Harry stood from his seat and walked up to them. "Lord Malik, I would like to ask for your son's hand in marriage."
Vendil had expected the King to want to make his son a part of his harem, but he hadn't expected the King to want to marry his son.
"Your Majesty, you want to make my son a consort?"
"Your son will be my Honor Consort."
"Your Majesty is too generous. I'm not sure that Zayn can live up to the status..."
"Lord Malik, don't be too humble. You are as worthy as any other nobles, but you choose the life of work to make sure your family is stable. I know that Zayn will need a bit of time to adjust. I was hoping you would accept a better position at court."
"Your Majesty is too kind, but I'm just an old man. I have no place at court."
"Nonsense, sure you might have reach middle age, but this middle-aged man has been on the trail longer than any young man has. Your service is needed here."
"If that is what My King asks for, then I will accept your offer. Thank you for giving my family such honors."
"Lady Liba, Zayn has many preparations to go through before the wedding. I take it he wants you to help him get ready."
"I'll do my best, Your Majesty."
"Excellent. The proclamation will be announced tomorrow. I will have Zayn move to the Consort Suites, and we can start the wedding preparations."
Ahenka lets out a sigh. Her brother doesn't understand the conversation. Ahenka isn't worried about the King. She can see the way he looks at Zayn. Her nephew has never been happier, but she recalls the conversation with the noble ladies at the Dowager Queen's banquet. Knowing that Zayn will be exposed to that toxic environment send chills down her spines.
After the meeting with King Harry, Ahenka went to tend to Zayn. The King asked her to take Zayn back to their home and help him pack. Starting tomorrow, he will be staying at the Gondor's Palace.
