Queen Candidate

King Bhian glanced at Zhia repeatedly, they were having a meal together this morning. But the atmosphere felt silent as if it was still his own inner man still glanced at the girl beside him who did not see him at all.

Even since last night afternoon after the incident at the diner. Zhia silenced her future husband not even a single glance at the man. Actually Zhia was not angry just her feelings were still upset and wanted to teach the man a little lesson so as not to spread the charm anymore Zhia thought.

"Ehem! today you're going to meet those women, right?" asked King Bhian to try to open the topic and melt the atmosphere.

"Yes, why?" zhia asked back still cool with the food on her plate.

"Nothing, just asking" said King Bhian, putting his food in his mouth.

What woman if angry hold mute huh? ah why I never saw my mother angry at me and how I handled it so I knew how to persuade the muttered woman King Bhian glanced at Zhia again while chewing her food slowly.

Until the two finished eating, Zhia's hand was pulled by Cami towards their room. Zhia stared at the puzzled man who pulled her but just kept quiet following.

"You why Catri? is he still angry?" asked King Bhian who could not stand the attitude of Zhia who continued to be silent and indifferent.

"No! who's angry?" Zhia looked at King Bhian's face, which made it clear that there was a bit of grief on the man's face and also a sense of worry.

"You Catri! since coming home last night you kept quiet and did not look at Cami, if there is something that does not fit in your heart Cami attitude then just say do not just be quiet, so Cami knows how to" king Bhian said seriously.

Zhia let out a long sigh, indeed it seemed like she had over-acted to silence her future husband. He was just trying to suppress his jealousy and resentment.

"Catri is not angry with Cami, only if you remember the incident yesterday afternoon it feels very upset, rather than angry Catri who exploded the explosive better to be quiet, sorry if it makes you uncomfortable" back Zhia let out a long sigh.

King Bhian who heard Zhia's words immediately concluded that the girl in front of him had started to feel for her. And it really made her heart happy. The man pulled Zhia into his arms with a happy feeling.

"I'm sorry Cami also yes if it makes you upset, but Cami asks if there is something you don't like about Cami then just say so Cami can fix it and don't let Cami down, you better express your anger than silence" said King Bhian.

Zhia nodded in return for King Bhian's comfortable embrace. This time he was in the arms of another man besides his brothers and his father. Comfortable, fragrant again thought Zhia sticking her nose on King Bhian's chest.

Both of them enjoyed their comfortable embrace for a while. King Bhian and Zhia came out of their rooms and headed towards their respective destinations to settle their affairs.

King Bhian took care of the royal matters while Zhia took care of the women who should have come. Because the women were asked to come again this morning to start their activities.

Zhia walked with her soldiers and servants to the meeting hall where certain events were held in the palace were common. Before entering the hall Zhia could already hear the voices of the women gathered there. And from their conversation Zhai also heard there were some women who seemed to have high self-confidence.

Zhia stepped with certainty, a firm yet sharp look made the few soldiers in the hall keeping the security feeling intimidated and reluctant to look at their future King's wife.

The aura that was quite strong, even almost resembling their inner King lowered his head respectfully as Zhia passed by.

The room that was originally crowded with the voices of the women was now slowly beginning to decrease to a quiet as Zhia entered the hall and walked towards the front where the King used to sit.

The women stared at Zhia who continued to tread firmly. Arriving at the seat belonging to King Bhian, without fear Zhia occupied the seat with a raised look definitely gazed at all the women before her.

A little snob? look at those impatient faces Zhia murmured in her heart.

A female eunuch assigned to help Zhia's affairs approached and handed the note to Zhia.

"This is the Princess listing their names" he said, handing over the paper.

Zhia took the paper and read one by one the names listed there. Complete with the name and position of their parents as well as the area they came from. Up to a few names made Zhia smile thinly.

I had expected, they would definitely send their children here Inner Zhia.

"Well, since you've come from far away and want to make time for this not-so-important event, then I, as King Bhian's WIFE-TO-BE, say welcome to all of you" zhia said suppressing the word 'wife-to-be'.

"There are some things you should know, before we go to the main event I will tell you what will be done to be elected as a Concubine or Empress"

Zhia paused her speech looking at the entire woman.

"You have to compete and who is the two winners will be against me, if you can beat me then get the title of Empress for the toughest and the other one gets the title of concubine" explained Zhia.

The women looked at each other and whispered about what Zhia had just said. Until one of the women raised her voice with her arrogant face.

"Just tell me directly what the match is, don't beat around the bush" he said with a condescending look.

Smirk Zhia's smile came out looking at the brave woman's attitude. Let's see how arrogant you are Zhia's glee in the heart when there's such a woman.

Zhia looked at the eunuch beside her who immediately nodded in understanding of what Zhia meant.

The eunuch advanced with another paper scroll in his hand. Unroll and read what was written in it, which must have been Zhia's own writing.

"Things that must be done by all match participants and the rules that must be done include.

First, all participants will live in the Eastern palace without exception and must wear everything that has been provided without complaint.

Second, the match will start tomorrow and all participants must gather thirty minutes after breakfast, if it is too late to be punished.

Third, You must not refuse any match if the event has been inaugurated.

Fourth, there will be no preferential treatment for all participants, anyone and whatever the position of their parents.

Fifth, it is not allowed to meet His Majesty the King even if met accidentally forbidden to say hello or approach.

Keeman, not allowed to go from the area that has been set what else ask for help others.

For anyone who violates will be immediately returned and get sanctions"

"While the match that will be done is,

First, the horse

Second, archery

Third, hunting

Fourth, battle.

Each participant must follow all the matches that have been set and all these activities have been authorized by His Majesty King Bhian"

Kasim shows the paper facing the women to show the royal seal that has been given by King Bhian which means the event conducted by official Zhia and there will be no party that can interfere.

"We will give you the opportunity to make a decision again, if you change your mind and do not want to continue then you can leave before Princess Zhia officiates this event" Kasim explained.
