[Pinkie]

Mizuki was in shock. What on earth just happened?! He shook his head as he listened to what Destro had to say "You dirty little..." But he stopped as he growled. Oh this was going to be interesting to say the least. Not only had the status of Thalion been told to the crowd the status on their relationship as well and that made him freeze. How on earth did Destro know that? Not only that but how long had the male knowen this?

It was all a little much but then Damien and Sateeva joined in and now the ball was rolling. The crowd began to speak and whisper. It was not until the queen silenced everyone that the room was once again silent. However Destro started again saying how shamefull it was for a commoner to sleep with royal blood and how he should be put to death. That right there started another up roar in the room. One the queen couldnt calm.

No it was another voice that calmed the crowd and one he didnt expect. Turning his head he looked to Thalion as the male spoke. Mizuki was in awe, seeing Thalion take on the role he settled the kingdom with simple words. Though it was not those words that made him blush and smile. It was the fallowing that came from Thalions mouth "Before it's asked, yes what was said was true. Both parts. I am the last living of the royal line that was said to have died over twenty years ago."

Did he really just...Mizuki felt like he was going to faint. Here Thalion was proclaming his bloodline but also the fact of them being together! It was all to much for him and he knew that he would hear about it later though later could wait. Right now there was more important things to take care of. Like the fact that everything they had worked so hard to keep a secret was out in the air in a matter of moments.

It was this time that the queen decided to take a stand. Calming her people she sighed a little "Well...this I must say is an interesting turn of events" She said lightly looking at the mass of people. "Now we seem to have some choices on our plate" The queen said before she moved and walked over to Mizuki and Thalion.

Standing there she looked at them both "Our bylaws are interesting ones..." She began "As the future king...it does not matter who you marry to become king as long as that person is of royal blood" With that she looked to Thalion "However...there is a catch" She said before turning to the crowd. "As future king if the contract of marriage becomes void his spouse maybe of his choosing. As long as his choice is of royal blood" The queen said and the room began to whisper again.

"However..." She said "In this case the matter of the king being the one to void the contract first we have a little situation" The queen said making Mizuki look at her "Since the spouse he has chosen is not female a bonding ritual is a stipulation. Then the kingdom will have an heir" The queen said as the whispers began to pick up in the room.

"Though this leads to another issue..." Looking to Destro and seeing the smirk she looked to Thalion. Still with the same booming voice many knew her not to have she spoke "Since Councilmen Destro has brought this to our attention a formal challenge has been made" The room all fell silent. "In order for you to...Fix this I should say you must win your honor and the hand of the king in a battle to the death with the challanger...Destro" She said looking between the males.

"If you shall win the kings hand is yours, with the promise of an heir the kingdom will continue" She said to them both "I only have one question for you Thalion Lorulm...Will you fight for you kings honor and hand?" She asked as she looked at the male before her.
