I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 41: Rumors are Rumors
Located in the courtyard of the royal family mansion, King Cornelius and family members were present to greet the people from Osaka. Not only that, the famous nobles also came in welcome, lined up neatly in peace.
The king of Osaka, Ragnar got off his horse, smiled and hugged King Cornelius like a familiar friend. King Ragnar of Osaka said, "King Cornelius, it has been a long time since we last met. I'm sorry about the Queen."
King Cornelius nodded and looked a little sad when he remembered Lilian's condition, especially the condition was getting worse. However, King Cornelius quickly dismissed the thought and brought King Ragnar to see his family.
"You must be the beautiful Selia Princess."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty." Selia cheerfully and smilingly lowered her head for a moment and gave a greeting. She's so adorable and smart.
"I wonder, where is Prince Asta? Definitely not one of you, right?" King Ragnar walked up to the princes of the three brothers and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three gave their regards.
"I'm Prince Thomas Dixon...."
"I'm Randall Dixon..."
"I'm Bernard, Your Majesty..."
"All right, I know..." King Ragnar flips his body and waits for the appearance of Prince Asta. He had no further interest in what the three princes looked like, the one he looked for the most now was Prince Asta.
King Ragnar little knew through his men that Prince Asta was shunned by his brothers. Seeing the three Princes standing parallel and looking harmonious, King Ragnar came to his understanding that Prince Asta was not one of them.
"Your Majesty, you're right." Mavis walked over from the other side, from an unexpected place out of the crowd of nobles. Behind him was Mikaela and also Moon who took a classy and charming appearance. It made the eyes of everyone present appear puzzled, not least the likes of King Cornelius, King Ragnar, the Queen, and even the graceful Princess Judh.
"Who is he?"
"Didn't...."
The nobles present looked surprised and their eyes seemed to want to fall from their skeletons. Some nobles knew who the young man was, in was the prince of Asta who used to make frequent contact with some nobles like them. The prince is famous for his depravity, often playing with the children of nobles, even though he was very young.
"Yes, I'm Asta." With a slight bow and stand back Mavis and her two servants saluted the king of Osaka.
"Good, good. You managed to surprise me, son." The old man laughed and patted Asta on the shoulder like he knew Asta very well. "Seeing you like this, I became convinced the rumors about you seemed to be nothing but lies."
"Just so it happened, Your Majesty. Rumors are just rumors. I'm sorry if I'm so disappointing because it's not what His Majesty expected" Mavis said.
"Ah no, no. I quite like you son," said King Ragnar.
"Yes, you're right, someone shouldn't believe a rumor. That way maybe Princess Judh has no problem. Didn't we?" King Ragnar turned his head for a moment towards his haughty daughter.
Meanwhile Princess Judh herself coldly and calmly did not answer and instead averted her gaze.
"I'm sorry, maybe Princess Judh needs a break because of the long journey" King Ragnar chuckled.
"Preparate a place of rest for the Princess" orders King Cornelius.
The servants and some bodyguards brought the princess into the mansion first.
Before that, Asta who had seen what the face and shape of Princess Judh Estel looked like could only mock inwardly.
"I thought she was such a rare beauty that it made her so arrogant. It turns out that he is just a standard among his people. So horrible!" Mavis unceasingly sneered until the woman disappeared from her sight.
Previously, Princess Judh had opposed this match because of the bad rumors of Prince Asta obtained from the intelligence of the King. King Ragnar was hesitant to continue this matchmaking or not.
Fortunately due to a reply from King Cornelius earlier, it made the king postpone the final decision. King Ragnar himself also wanted to know what Prince Asta was like by meeting the child directly, before making his choice. However, the relationship between the two kingdoms is very good, if there is a cancellation of this match, the relationship between the two will certainly be stretched, the worse the hostility may occur.
After the ceremony was over, King Cornelius brought King Ragnar to go around, while talking about everything about each kingdom. Meanwhile, the concubines who participated in the group separated and invited Queen Laurie to go see the condition of Queen Lilian. They parted ways, the princes went back to his residence, as did Mavis who went to return to her room.
