Chapter 60: The Third Competition

"Unn..unn.. never let your guards down thinking that the enemy is too weak. Even a small ent is enough to kill the elephant," Evillene stated.

"So what do you suggest, mother?" Kruel asked.

"I think it's time for you to visit your father's old friend," his mother smiled. 

"But I'm afraid we aren't invited," Kruel shook his head. How can they go without invitation and that too at their enemy's house?

"King Zachary will never send a guest away from his doorstep during the summer celebration," Evillene has an evil smile on her lips. As her lips curved up she looked more enchanting.

"We should get ready for a trip to the North then," Kruel joined her mother in smiling evilly. It would have been nice to give them a little shock. After all, they have now debt to pay for Beth's death. Kruel has a cold glint in his eyes.

"And after all, we have to pay back for the sacrifice of Beth," Kruel added.

"And don't forget to prepare a wedding gift for the eldest prince Donovan too," Evillene added.

The other day Silja woke up with the first ray of sun. Last evening has turned out very hectic for her but in the end, everything has gone fine. 

But she has still to be careful because if her powers kept surfacing like that she won't be able to hide it from everyone. But for now, she decided to throw those thoughts away and started to get ready for today's announcement.

The king was going to announce the next competition today and as far as she knew it was something to check the intelligence of all the candidates.

Silja realized a tired sigh. She didn't want any of these but she was still in competition while some people worked so hard but couldn't win.

While thinking about random thoughts Silja took a bath and got ready to go out.

"Mira, is this okay?" While getting ready she realised that Mira was very quiet so to taste water she questioned her but what she received back was silence.

Her little maid was upset with her because of what happened last night.

Silja tried to placate her but had no luck.

In the end, Silja let her be and both of them left the chamber. She knew no matter what Mira won't be able to stay mad at her for long, her little maid was very soft-hearted.

Today's meeting was arranged on the open terrace at the king's quarters.

Some of the women were already present while some were still on the way.

A big table was arranged in the middle for everyone to have breakfast together before the announcement.

Silja was now familiar with most of the faces. As she walked in she saw all of them mostly talking about the fair of the night before.

She also saw lord Joshua smiling in her direction and Silja returned the smile.

The man looked decent but after the prince told her about how he was the best choice she was having second thoughts. 

Uhh that manipulative prince, witty one sentence he definitely has seen a seed of doubt in her head.

Silja shook her head and decided to not think much about it.

"Good morning, lady Jade," Silja saw Jade waving at her and she walked to her. She was the only person who was talking to her except Lady Priscilla who wasn't present today. 

"Morning to you too, how are your injuries now?" Jade asked.

"It's better now," Silja replied and before they could discuss more a maid announced the presence of the royal family.

Silja turned around and saw King Zachary walking in with Queen Abrielle while their daughter and two sons were behind them. Silja noticed that the eldest prince with a mask was not present.

As the royal family took their seats one by one everyone gathered at the table.

Gwendolyn who has kept a high profile till now also didn't fail to do the same today. She snatched the closest seat near the royal family. The woman has a really different level of shamelessness. 

Silja decided to take a seat as far away as possible but she soon noticed the eyes of the King on her.

As she looked in his direction the man smiled at her. There was gratitude in the smile. Maybe Don must have informed him about what happened last night.

She returned the smile awkwardly.

As the breakfast began everyone got engaged in small talks and laughter.

Silja barely took part in any conversation and kept to herself. All types of the feast were present on the table but as Nobel people, they barely eat anything before they put their fork down.

"Now it's time to announce what we are here for and eagerly waiting for," after breakfast was done king Zachary stood up and announced.

Then he looked at Zivan and nodded her head.

Zivan stood up excitedly. He has a broad smile on his face. Clad in light blue clothes the second prince wasn't any less in terms of look.

His slightly longer hair fell on his forehead a little giving him a cute look.

"Well well, beautiful ladies...and handsome gentlemen…" he started looking around as he winked at a few of them.

"I'm very sorry that today my brother is not here because he has to deal with some work that my beloved father has assigned for him," Zivan added. Last night when they came back Donovan had told them about the witch attack and what happened. He told them how the princess was available there and she helped him.

So today they had taken the witch's body to a healer so she could do some research on the body.

"But don't worry you guys will see him soon. So now let's talk about the competition we are going to hold. I was very shocked when my father gave me this opportunity to me to decide what will be the third competition. So I think…. and…. think...for a long long time before I decide that we will not make these difficult at all for you lovely ladies."

Zivan has a very charming smile on his lips and who knows the second prince of the North knew never to believe this man. He may look gullible and sweet but he still has the blood of king Zachary in his vein and an apple never falls far from the tree.

"So the task is very simple. All you have to do is do what you are doing now, wander around and waste our money….." Zivan announced and at the end of the sentence laughed.

All the ladies were shocked to hear the last words. Queen Abrielle gave Zivan red-eye for being mischievous.

"Haha, ahem I was kidding," he let out a dry laugh with akward expressions.
