Thanks for the review and also for the suggestion I will make sure to use them. And here is the next chapter.
Chapter 4
The Proposal 1
A week earlier at the 'Wind palace'
Kazuma was lying in his bed, he was exhausted. Being the new King of the kingdom he has many responsibilities. There are also the threats of the yomas. They have already attacked some kingdoms and brought them down. He was busy all night preparing strategies with his generals.
"Why did I agree to become the King" he thought to himself and sighed.
After a while a servant knocks at the door asking his permission to enter in the room.
"Come in" he said.
"Your Majesty, His Highness and the council has set up a meeting and they seek your presences" the servant told.
"Ok I will be there in a moment. You can go now" he said plainly.
"Have a nice day you're Your Majesty" the servant bowed and left Kazuma with his thought.
"Why did father set up this stupid council again" he said to himself and got up from his bed feeling slightly irritated.
At the council the members were already there with their formal King. They were now waiting for their new King to join the meeting.
As Kazuma entered the room everybody stood up and greeted him except for the formal King. Genma as the formal King and as Kazuma's father he did not need to greet to him like the council members.
Genma's Pov
"Good morning father" Kazuma said with a grin.
"Good morning Kazuma" I said.
"Could you please tell me why this torture morning, father?" Kazuma said. "I could really use some sleep now" he continued with a sigh.
"Hahaha" I laughed softly and said "You will get used to it". "Let the council being" I said when everybody settled.
No one's Pov
"You're Majesty" a council member spoke on behalf of the council. "As you know that the yoma's have already attacked some kingdoms. We also think someone's behind this attack. From our spies we have come to know that they are attacking in groups or more like an army" the council member said.
"But the yoma don't usually work in group. It's unusual for them to work in groups. Are you sure your spies did bring he correct news?" another member asked.
"My information is perfectly correct. And like you said the yoma's don't work together than why are they acting like an army" he said defending himself.
"Gentlemen this is not a debate competition. We got serious problem here. And I think you're correct about someone's being behind this attack, Merlin" Kazuma said with a serious tone. "I am also aware of this situation. So, what's the council suggesting about this situation?" he asked.
After hours of discussing, after many agreements and disagreements the council proposes that they should from alliance with the fire kingdom.
"Your Majesty this is the best solution. The 'Fire Kingdom' is one of the strongest kingdoms in the world. And 'Fire God' himself blessed the Kannagi Clan" Merlin proposed.
"But can we trust them" Kazuma said.
Genma's Pov
"That's why my son we're going to make this bond a marital bond. You are going to marry the princess Ayano and from a strong alliance between the two kingdoms" I said and sighed.
"It's time to see you friend again. After Aria died you cut all your ties from everybody. Even from me" I thought to myself thinking about my old friend.
"Your Majesty this is the best solution and you also need a Queen sooner. Princess Ayano is the strongest fire user in the kingdom also" Merlin said.
"But I don't think it's a good idea. Not to mention her famous anger" Kazuma said. "I also don't see the point of forming alliances with this Kingdom. We also don't have any political or economical relation. So I don't think it's a good idea" Kazuma said.
"We don't have any relation with the Kingdom that's why it's time to make a one. It's also important for the Kingdom. It will benefit our Kingdom a lot" I reasoned.
"But father don't you think that our kingdom can handle this threat alone? We don't possibly need bond with the Fire Kingdom" Kazuma reasoned.
"But Your Majesty, you should think about the benefit"
Genma sighed and tried a different way to make him agree about the proposal.
"Kazuma a King should think of his Kingdom first not himself. This alliance will benefit us in many ways. So you should accept the PROPOSAL" Genma said with seriousness in his voice.
"Your right father, our Kingdom needs these alliances and so I accept it" Kazuma agreed. "I will marry the Fire Princess" he said.
"Send the proposal to the Fire kingdom" I said.
AN: I basically made Genma a proud and happy father. I didn't like the behavior of him in the anime. So I made this few changes. Hope you guys will like it.
Bye.
