The King saw that Rydon was looking at him seriously and said, "Fine, I shall tell you all about Damian's proposal."

Rydon nodded, and the King started narrating the entire events of Hachitsu 08th, the day Damian requested the King's audience:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" said General Damian as he knelt and bowed.

The King nodded and asked, "State your purpose for requesting the audience."

"Your Majesty has announced to get The Third Prince, His Highness Rydon, married by this year and is looking for prospects. Forgive me for being brazen Your Majesty, for I have got a proposal to make," said General Damian humbly.

"Hmm, you dare to make a proposal to me?" sneered the King. He then said, "Go ahead, let me listen to your proposal for which you act so brazenly."

"Your Majesty, I would like to propose The Third Prince's marriage with my sister," said General Damian.

The King sneered and said, "How daring of you to assume that I would accept this proposal? Do you not know that I have rejected every single marriage proposal from your father? Do you not know your father's intentions? How do you expect me to accept your proposal?"

"Your Majesty, I am completely aware of my father's intentions and my step-sisters' intentions. I would never propose marriage for any of my step-sisters. The sister for whom I am proposing this marriage is absolutely nothing like my other step-sisters," said General Damian.

"Is that so? What is so different about her that I would accept this proposal of yours?" asked the King.

"She is Mother Ava's daughter, Your Majesty!" said General Damian.

The King was stunned for a moment before he asked slowly, "Are you proposing marriage for Lady Ava's daughter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" answered General Damian.

The King fumed, "How dare you? If I remember right, the child is still 15 and you are proposing for her marriage?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I have been waiting for this opportunity for such a long time. Now that Your Majesty has decided to get The Third Prince married by this year, I had to resort to doing this," answered General Damian honestly.

"You think my son would accept this proposal, considering she is not an adult?" asked the King, still angry that he would propose marriage for a girl who is yet to become an adult.

"No one, other than Your Majesty, Her Majesty and His Highness, is aware of the fact that she is 15 and the others have long forgotten. Moreover, I would like to hear Her Majesty and The Third Prince's opinion on this matter, Your Majesty. I believe Her Majesty and His Highness would understand me," said General Damian.

The King was astounded by what he just said and thought for a moment before asking, "How about your father? I do not believe he has forgotten."

"About my father... I believe my father would not dare say a word against Your Majesty's decree," said General Damian.

"What you mean to say is that your father is not aware of your purpose of arrival here?" asked the King.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He would have heard of my arrival here but is unaware of my marriage proposal," said General Damian.

"You do not want him to know about your proposal. Why?" asked the King.

"He will never let any good happen to her," said General Damian.
