The Only Daughter Of Lancaster
Part Eleven: The Seven Princes

After he calmed down, Alec took Amabel to his reading room. Eli gave Amabel a cup of hot chocolate, "Bel, I love you."

Amabel immediately smiled, "me too, Eli."

There were only three Lancaster brothers in the room. Alec approaches with a royal family book. "You're going to the palace, so I think it'll be good if you find out about the royal family."

Eli nodded, agreeing. His hands had been busy picking up cookies. "Here, let me hold it." He said while taking Amabel's glass.

Alec immediately put the book on the table. "He is Yanha Walcote, our current king. His Majesty the King is the original descendant of Theo Walcote. It is said so because his other brother is from a different head of the family. Theo Walcote left only a son, Ardean Walcote, the great-grandfather of His Majesty the King."

Amabel's head hurt. "Good, hold on a second. My head is so dizzy. The royal family tree is very difficult."

Eli laughed at Amabel's complaint. "Wait until you find out about the Seven Princes."

Amabel growled, annoyed. But Alec continued. "His Majesty the King has three wives. First Adena Ivanov, Her Majesty The Queen is a princess of the Vellian kingdom. Freya Prada, Duke Prada's sister. Third Jovanka Clark, an ordinary girl."

"Huh? An empress who came from an ordinary person? It's so cool." Amabel said in amazement. He never knew about this. "Surely the empress is very pretty, huh?"

Eli nodded, "very! Her beauty is amazing. I would have fallen in love too."

"The Empress Jovanka is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. He made the rules for taxes for the nobility and made the waters of Plodnavor." Alec explains, "perhaps if it wasn't for her family's status, she could have become Queen."

Alec immediately turned his head and put his finger on his lips. "That's a secret."

Amabel laughed to see it. "Then, who are the Seven Princes?"

Eli immediately smiled jail towards Amabel. "Oho, Bel was curious about her future husband huh?"

Amabel immediately pushed Eli, until his brother fell. "Dum!"

Amabel didn't care, but stuck her tongue out at Eli. "Don't piss me off! Come on, brother, continue your story."

"From Queen Freya, three princes were born. Second prince Ian Ravindra, fourth prince Ryu Dominic, and seventh prince Noah Frank." Alec now stands up, taking another book off his desk. "Then from Empress Jovanka was born the third, fifth and sixth princes. The third prince was named Alterio Evano, the fifth prince of Arion Saveri and the sixth prince of Hendery Damian."

Oho! The third prince had red hair. So, his name is Alterio. Then, the possibility of being referred to as elder brother was the second prince. "Can I know their age? Also a little picture of the Seven Princes."

Alec gives a thin book to Amabel. When it opened, Amabel immediately saw the portrait of the first prince. "That's a book given out during the new year. The first prince is 17."

"The second and third princes were 15 years old. The two of them could somehow be friends with Alec." Eli said in a quip. "You know Bel, what are the three of them called?"

Amabel looked at Eli curiously. "Expressively handsome man."

Hearing that mention made Amabel unable to hold back her laughter. "I can understand why Alec we get that designation. That's why I always ask my sister to smile."

Alec did not heed Amabel's protests. He went back on. "The fourth prince is 14 years old, the fifth prince is 12, the sixth prince is 11, and the seventh prince is 9."

Amabel's hand stopped moving as she looked at the sixth prince's painting. Her hair was a beautiful golden color, inconspicuous and looked soft. His eyes were blue, not like Eli's eyes, but clear blue like the beach. Real pretty.

"Oh, I wonder if the fifth prince has returned?" Eli's words made Amabel turn, curious. "Throughout last winter, the fifth Prince went to the border area to eradicate the traitors."

Amabel's eyes were round, "at that young age? He's the leader of the army?"

Eli laughed at Amabel's exaggerated expression. "Bel, the fifth Prince's war ability is extraordinary. Even when he was 10 he had succeeded in bringing victory when Yerkink was attacked by the kingdom of Srela."

"Woah," that's all that's said from Amabel's mouth. "The Princes are amazing, aren't they?"

The corner of Alec's lips lifted, "they should be extraordinary, no matter how they are princes. When you're at Bel's palace, being extraordinary is necessary." Alec turned his head, whistling the tip of Amabel's nose with a smile. "That way you can survive."
