A/N Omg, So I'm extremly sorry. I haven't updated in like a million years. I feel awful. Please please forgive me. Many thinks to all my reviewers, you spurred me to write. You guys make me so happy. The thing is testing season is coming up and my teachers were cracking down on us. I have been so busy, and tired. Well now on with the story. I own nothing but my moutain of homework.
"What do you mean by god?" asked Percy incrediously . "Your father was Poseidon, god of the seas. I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but there are other things you need to know." "What do you mean by other things?" Percy asked shakilly. He was still having a hard time comprehending the fact that he was a demigod. Him a Demigod, the thought was almost laughable. "Our kingdom is not as you think it is. Women do not have equal rights. I, infact, am not even technically allowed to rule." stated Queen Sally. Percy felt his jaw drop. He grew up believing women had the same rights as men. He knew that a woman was more than just a pretty face, or a child knew that they could be strong, loyal, smart, maybe even smarter than men. Apparently the rest of his kingdom didn't agree. "Mother I don't understand. If you are not allowed than how have you been rulling all these years." "My son, the royal council has reffered to me as a figure head. You know how you always went to the meetings for me, then you'd come tell me what went on so I could give you instructions on what to do next?" Percy nodded "Well, everyone has thought you were the one ruling,While I just held the throne till you came of age. Before you interupt me there is more. Son you have to marry, but I want it to be out of love, not liability. You are to send out a decree stating that we are having a contest. Every women age 18- 22, must come to the castle. There they will be taught how to preform as a princess should. Out of those ladies you will find your bride, but first they will all have one night with you, so they can get to know you. Of course they won't know that you have been watching them from the beggining. Do you understand son?" "Yes mother, it shall be as you say."
Later that day,the decree was sent to everyhouse in the capitol of the kingdom. On a very expensive peice of parchment were the words in very delicate handwriting.
Prince Perseus has come of age and as stated in the royal decrees, it is time for him to find the person whom he will share the rest of his days with and who will, one day, rule the kingdom alongside him. As such, all eligible women, aged 18 to 22, who come from the capitol, are ordered to come to the royal palace. They will be taught how to be princesses and how to govern over the kingdom. When the time comes, only a few chosen will remain and from these women, our prince, Perseus, will choose a wife."
The letter had just fell into the hands of Annabeth Chase, before the royal gaurds grabbed her and took her away.
Well guys what do you think,love to here your comments good or bad,though I hope you are leaning towards the good side. Hey is anyone elses test season coming up. Let me know if your having a tough time craming to. Until next time, Posie.
