The evening was very lively inside the Wyverndale Palace. Candles and torches were lit everywhere, making the Palace look really beautiful. The hall was decorated with fresh flowers and colorful ribbons. The hall was filled with the sweet and savory aroma from the delicious dishes that were being served and that aroma was paired with the soft music being played.

Everyone from the Royal family was present inside the hall to celebrate the selection of the Future Queen of Wyverndale. The Royal family was eating while enjoying the dance being performed by the renowned artists of the Kingdom.

Though it was the time for celebration, most of the Princes and Princesses were unhappy because they had failed their tests. But there were also some who wholeheartedly supported the chosen one.

Adeline was also enjoying some snacks while sitting alongside Nigel, Rhea, and Fenris. They were happily chatting with each other and were enjoying the banquet.

Raphael came to Adeline's side and greeted her, "Hey sister! Oh, I am sorry. Hey chosen one!" He gave a gentle bow to her and smiled.

Adeline wrinkled her nose and complained, "Brother, don't tease me."

"I am not teasing you. I am really happy for you." Raphael smiled again and asked, "May I join this table? If that's okay with all of you?"

"Yeah, sure." Nigel happily patted on the empty chair by his side.

Nigel had been wanting to talk to Raphael and he took this opportunity. He rested his hand on Raphael's shoulder and said, "Raph, I wanted to thank you for giving company to Adeline while I was gone."

Raphael gave a smirk to Nigel while saying, "Don't talk as if I did some great favor to you. She is my sister as well, you know."

Nigel just nodded his head. He didn't say it out loud but he prayed that Raphael would keep on standing by Adeline's side even though he wouldn't be able to do so.

Nigel saw the King sitting alone on his throne at the platform of the hall. He thought that as this was a happy occasion, it would be the perfect time to introduce Rhea to the King. He turned his head to glance at his wife and held out his hand for her, "Rhea, come, I will introduce you to the King."

Though Rhea felt nervous hearing that, she held Nigel's hand and the two of them walked towards the throne.

Nigel and Rhea bowed to the King. And King Dragomir welcomed his son with an open arm. "My son, I am sorry I couldn't meet you earlier. Come, take a seat."

Nigel and Rhea settled down by his side and Nigel politely said, "You don't have to be sorry, father. I know that you were busy with the test and then the appointment of the future Queen."

Dragomir merrily laughed and his eyes fell on the girl that had been sitting stiffly by Nigel's side. "Aren't you going to introduce her to me?"

"I was going to do that." Nigel took a deep breath before he said, "Father, this is Rhea. I met her while I was in Aberdeen and I am in love with her. With your blessing, I intend to marry her… soon."

Dragomir raised his brows at that confidence of his son. "You want to marry her?"

Nigel was trying his best not to tremble in front of his father. But he was starting to get nervous because of the piercing glance that the King was giving him and he blurted everything, "Yes, father. I would like to do that within this week. I don't want the marriage ceremony to be too extravagant. A closed ceremony, like today's will do."

The King rubbed his chin with his finger and then asked with a straight face, "Won't you tell me more about her? How can I just arrange the ceremony without knowing any background about her?"

Nigel kept on lowering his head while he answered with as much honesty as he could. And he also expressed his desire to return back to Aberdeen and live there peacefully from now on. It seemed that the letter that King Conall had promised to write to King Dragomir had not arrived yet and the King was deeply shocked.

Not just shocked, the King was also deeply hurt when Nigel said that he wanted to live in Aberdeen from now on. Even though he wouldn't spend much time with his children, he felt sad by the thought of them moving out of the Palace.

Technically, after not being selected as the Future Ruler, they were allowed to choose where they would live. But normally, that would be somewhere near the Palace or somewhere inside the Kingdom's territory so that they could still support the Kingdom. All Princes and Princesses would still have their own duties towards the Kingdom.

But from the talk of Nigel, it sounded as though he was going to relinquish his Royal status and was going to abandon the Kingdom as well.

"Are you saying that you are going to give up your status as the Prince of Wyverndale?" Dragomir asked in a voice that reflected a mixture of anger and pain.

Nigel violently shook his head and replied apologetically, "I am not saying that, father. I would never abandon my birthright and my birthplace. I just want to explore and improve myself. After going to Aberdeen, I realized that my fighting skills are too poor compared to King Conall. And I want to go there so that I can learn from him."

Though that was not the main reason why Nigel was going to return back to Aberdeen again, it was true that he looked up to the alpha and wanted to be as strong as him.

King Dragomir sighed and mumbled, "I had heard that King Conall is a fighting prodigy. But I didn't think that his skills are that good to be able to lure my son to his Kingdom."

"Father, he didn't-"

"Alright," Dragomir interjected in between and smiled. "If he is that good then you should definitely learn from him. I won't stop you. Just be sure that you surpass King Conall and make me a proud father."

Dragomir gave a glance to Rhea and then asked his son, "So, when shall I arrange the marriage ceremony for the two of you?"
