Future for us

Chapter 17

Agnarr POV🌊

"His royal majesty, King Agnarr."

Everyone crowds around me, and I could hear them all are mumbling to themselves until one brave soul starts it.

"Who is that lady just now?"

"Is that your long lost sister?"

I almost react to that one, how do both of us look alike.

"She is such a divine! Queen Rita wishes have finally come true." A countess exclaimed.

I couldn't hear much as everyone was speaking at the same time, but one caught my attention.

"Such pretty lady should be matched with a strong leader, may I?" A Spanish dignitary came out.

Marry her? I almost wanted to scoffed at him. I then cooled down to prevent me to rage in front of everyone, it would be improper for me to rash at this point of time.

"She is taken, by me." I politely smiled.

I could hear more mumbling and someone screeching, and then a lady came running towards me.

"You can't! You love me don't you." I got disgusted by that sentence, I didn't met her before, how infatuated is she?

Guards are pushing her away as someone came in to quiet her in embarrassment while awkwardly pulling her out of the room.

"Iduna is it?" Lord Husan approaches me as I nodded in return.

Lord Husan was one of the most influential officials in the council even though my uncle rank is higher than him, And also the most oblivious one as I tried to hint iduna.

He nodded and claps "Good choice, Lady Iduna would surely be a good queen."

I was quite shocked by his reply, "I thought-"

"I didn't like her? Who wouldn't, she has the support of the people, amazing humor and a good heart, who doesn't want that kind of queen."

I didn't know that Lord Husan have this kind of image of Iduna, I have been overthinking too much that I didn't even thought of the her.

"She has been going towards towns and fundraising for all sorts of events, bringing citizens together. If you asked me, I would have mistaken her as her majesty."

She was too a suitable candidate, I was so happy that I didn't realised Duke Lukas was beside me smiling.

"Is that true?"

Before I could even reply, he whispered to me.

"I won the bet! Lord Wilhelm will be called Will ham from now onwards!"

"Uncle, what-"

"He bet that the future queen is some English lady, and I bet Iduna."

I wonder how many bets have he done behind my back about me.

"She didn't accept my proposal yet."

"You did say yet. Just give her a little push and she will be yours no time!"

The next morning

I woke up early to just loitering outside her room, waiting for her to wake up.

She slept earlier than me, how is she able to sleep for such long hours?
