Asher: Did you check? I asked.
Unknown: Yes, as you doubt, there is a code of conduct and rules Siva needs to follow according to your late grandfather.
Asher: (Smirk) Get me a copy of it, as soon as possible.
Unknown: Understood, Sir. (calls end)
"Hahaha... you are really unbelievable, Aunt. You are like a rat trapped inside a luxurious death trap. You die if you make a wrong move. I guess you also agree that Grandpa was a strange man. Siva King, this time, I will drown you along with that trap. I will erase your existence from Kings. That Castle is mine," he wickedly laughed as his eyes shone bright like a vicious sun.
The next day... A message was sent to all the Kings; it was an emergency family meeting arranged by Siva King, the head of the family at the castle.
Inside a medieval-looking, opulent mansion, it is the residence of the kings, the castle. Currently, Siva King, the head of the home, Antony Maria King, his wife, and their children, as well as Peter King, his wife, and their two sons, reside here. Antony Maria King is the eldest son. All of the family members assemble in the dining room in the morning and take their designated seats.
The banquet dining table was a wooden table specially made for the king's family. It is a rectangular table with the carved history of the King family and the names of forebears inscribed in gold. The family head sits on the golden side of the rectangle's width, while his or her partner is seated on the other side. The first chairs to the left and right of the incumbent head of the family are occupied by the next qualified candidate. Next, their family occupies the chairs. Following the family, the visitor typically occupies the remaining chairs. There were a total of 26 seats, with 12 seats on each side and 2 seats on either end.
Peter King rarely visits the castle. Peter and Antony made the decision to avoid speaking to one another, and their families were compelled to do the same.
Antony King, Rhea King, Asher King, and Elina King sat on the right side, while Peter King, his wife Selena, and their two boys, Thomas King and Jeon King, were sitting on the left. Everyone was quiet. The meal was placed on the table by the maids and servants, but nobody touched it. They eagerly awaited the arrival of the family's head.
Abruptly, the door of the dining hall opened, and Siva, along with Fred, entered. She was in her usual elegant suit. Every family that gathered there disliked her, yet they nevertheless followed her orders and held her in high regard. She does, after all, have everything they want. She is the guardian of their future in their eyes. She is the dragon baby that their father reared to protect the treasure that he left behind. The treasure... It is what they want. Everyone discreetly rose as Siva took a position at the head of the table. The others followed once she took a seat. The servants proceeded to serve the food.
"I have two things to discuss with all of you," Siva said as she slowly put her soup spoon down. Everyone became curious and looked up to her. She glanced at Fred and the head butler, Marcus, and they understood the meaning.
Both of them ordered all the servants and maids to leave the room. Fred and Marcus closed the door from the outside, leaving only the family inside.
"Is it this important?" asked Peter
"One is," answered Siva.
"What is it?" Antony inquired.
{Asher- What is she planning now? Don't tell me I am caught already. } Sweated Oliver but remain his cool.
{Peter - Did she find out about the recent smuggling I did?}
{Antony- She is definitely planning something.}
{Jeon - The air turned even more stiff to breathe}
{Thomas - How can she be this cool? And why am I strangely attracted to her? Is it legal? She is not blood-related. Huh! She is exactly my type.} Thomas is a male omega who admires Siva secretly and also has a crush on her.
"Let me start with the crucial one. You are aware of the Harper family of the North. They reached out to me with a marriage alliance." Her statement shocked everyone.
{Asher- She is getting married. This is bad.}
{Peter - No, we can't let her marry. If she marries Harpers, she will grow more powerful, and her children will steal this family.}
{Antony - This is insane. Her getting married is unacceptable.}
{Jeon - If she gets married, our positions will become strokes in the water.}
{Thomas - What? I just started to dream. Why do you have to crush my little heart?}
{Elina - If she gets married, we are doomed.}
{Rhea - This is the worst.}
{Selena - She wants to marry? This lowly bitch!}
"Are you getting married? I heard Harpers are greedy for power in the North. This could be their tactics," Peter commented.
"Yes, sadly, I will have to agree to that, sister," Antony stated.
"Hahaha... I didn't say it was an alliance for me." Siva smiled, and others were confused; "The Harpers certainly did ask for me at first, but I have no time to get married now, so I declined. Then they informed me that they are fine with any Alphas of the first two kins of Kings. This means this alliance is for either Asher or Jeon," Siva smirked.
Others were astounded as Asher gazed at Jeon. He faced Asher with a sneer as if there was a challenge between Alphas. Peter and Louis were as baffled as others; they silently glared at each other.
"This is going to be tough," stated Peter.
"What's tough here, little brother, it's clear as the sky, my son is more suitable than yours," sneered Antony.
The argument was about to rise and become heated, but then, "click", a spoon sound was enough to stop it.
"I am not finished, brothers," said Siva.
