The Prince Ningrat's Preferred Wife
Chapter 29 The First Challenge

Hesa's father could no longer argue with his wife who wanted Ei to stay in this magnificent palace even though he hated Ei so much because the girl was far from the criteria of his noble family's son-in-law. In terms of appearance alone, Ei is no graceful and famous tomboy even very urgency. Very far when compared with the personality of the original daughter of the noble family who is equal to the Hesa family because ethics and morals have been instilled since still in the womb.

But In the eyes of Raden Ajeng aka Hesa's mother, such is the title of noble mother of Hesa, Ei is a daughter-in-law who has been married to her son even though he has not officially. What Ei's personality looks like, isn't a problem for him. After all Hesa seems to also love death with this unique woman. The task of the mother of Hesa only inaugurated the marriage of Hesa and Ei without having to violate the rules that have been passed down through generations.

Unfortunately, his beloved mother could not immediately recognize Ei as a daughter-in-law because it was hit by the rules and family customs where the prince still had to hold an official contest for the election of a future wife even though Hesa had violated the rules that is by stealing the start first.

No one knew that Hesa and Ei's marriage was a fake one. And for the first step, Hesa and Ei got through it well. Now, entering the next step, which is to get Ei involved in the selection of Hesa's wife as a candidate.

“Well Ei, listen to me.” Hesa's mother read out her decision in the matter of Hesa and Ei. “There is no reason for us to oppose your marriage. But rules are rules. From now on you are one of the candidates for the election of Hesa's legitimate wife candidates according to our family rules and customs. Even if you are married to Hesa, you still have to follow the competition and prove that you are worthy to be Hesa's wife. What do you think, Ei?” tanyanya stared straight at the confused face of her daughter-in-law.

Ei could not immediately answer, he glanced at Hesa who immediately gave the code to approve what Hesa's mother said.

Yes gusti .. it seems like I .. indeed have no other choice but to be trapped inside this creepy palace, inner Ei.

“Eeee ... Servant .. will .. do your best, Your Honor ..” said Ei was nervous because she did not know what her mother-in-law called her in this formal situation.

“Call me Mother, just as Hesa called me. Don't be afraid, Ei. I'm not gonna bite you. You're too sweet to bite. No wonder Hesa wants to marry you. Because, you're so pretty.”

“Te-thank you .. I-munda ..” said Ei was still nervous. She was ashamed to be praised by her mother-in-law.

But still there is something that makes Ei wonder, why Hesa's father looked at him without talking. The look in those eyes, was like a bear wanting to pounce on its prey alive.

“This competition will be held next month. Get ready from now on and you'll have to take basic training. Nevertheless, you must still serve Hesa as your husband until the election day comes. So you're gonna stay here and learn a lot so you can win.”

“Hah?” ei's mouth immediately gaped wide after hearing the words of her mother-in-law who indirectly asked her to stay in this palace and would certainly room with Hesa.

Ei wants to rebel and refuses to stay with a man who is not his mahram. It could be bad if he and Hesa had to stay in one room like a married couple while their marriage is a theatrical marriage, not real.

“Mother ...” Looks like Hesa is also a natural, “in a moment, Ei will have a semester exam.”

“Lah, continue?” ask Hesa's mother.

“Can't!” hesha's father shouted suddenly with his voice. “You who brought the obscure woman into this palace. That is, he cannot come out again unless .. he breaks up parting with you. Exam problems, you can go and go home together and study together. However, the girl must still undergo a series of activities that would be a good companion for you Hesa. Ei will stay here until the winner of the contest is announced.”

Raden Savatinov did not mess with his words. Everything he said, was an absolute commandment that no one could refute.

“But father ..” Hesa still defends Ei so that he is allowed out of this palace for a while.

“No but-fireplace Hesa. You know that I don't like to be disputed. Stay here and live out a series of rules in this house, or leave you for good. That's the only option your wife has to make. It is still not too late to choose to stay or go.”

Again, Ei was faced with a difficult choice. If he wanted to he would rather retreat and leave this palace. That way he can be free and do whatever he wants without having to be restrained like now.

Hesa herself did not look at Ei anymore as if her fake husband was giving her a chance to take her own, what choice the girl chose. Ei who likes freedom, of course, prefers to leave because this is a golden opportunity for him that cannot come 2 times.

That is, Ei prefers to betray Hesa and leave her life forever. At first the girl walked backwards and was about to exit the door of the room. Of course Ei's choice greatly surprised Hesa and her mother.

However, just a few steps Ei walked, he remembered the virtues that Hesa did. So far the guy has never hurt her despite always being so annoying. Hesa also appreciated her as a woman. It feels strange that Ei should just walk away from here and leave everything that Ei has experienced so far.

No, I can't go like this. I was in vain doing many things from morning to night. I have to finish what I started. You can definitely be Ei. You also need money to help the economy of your foster children at the orphanage. Inner Ei strengthens.

Consequently. It is Eilah's conscience that wins after an inner war. Ei turned around and went back to face Hesa's father and mother while kneeling. Both of Ei's hands clenched and he deliberately lifted on top of the crown.

Ei loudly said, “Hamba is willing to be a candidate for the future wife of Prince Hesa His Highness. The servant will do all that you both have entrusted. Please accept the Servant's apology while in this palace. I will try to be the best,” said Ei without hesitation and immediately make Hesa amazed at Ei.

Though previously, Hesa was disappointed because she thought Ei chose to leave her. Unexpectedly, Ei accepted the challenge of this mission. Hesa's mother was no less happy. He came and helped Ei stand up and hugged her as a simple welcome to Ei's arrival as a daughter-in-law in the family.

“Congratulations on your marriage. I'm so happy,” Hesa's mother told her son-in-law and son.
