Chapter 2
COUP DE MAIN
The brooding prince with soft amber eyes sat near the turtle duck pond while feeding the small creatures , wearing his full regilna of crown prince with three tailed crown fixed in his hair.
His lean muscular torso was bent over the pond feeding the baby turtle duck from his hand with a soft smile on his lips but it faded as soon as he heard the sound of throat clearing.
The crown prince sat up straight like a stiff board and look over his shoulder to an old servant with a round belly and grey hairs of old age.
" My prince , your respected father demands your presence in the royal family dinning hall " said the Prince's valet .
The prince inclined his head in affirmation and said " I'll be right there , tell the firelord I humbly accepts his invitation " the prince stood from the bench beside the pond and the valet in eyes.
" Anything else to my lord's linking? " Asked the valet bowing his head in respect.
" I am fine " and started to stride away in the palace with a sense of command and confidence with every step he takes.
The doorman announces Prince's arrival.
The firelord and general Iroh paused in their conversation and looked up to the new arrival.
" Ah Prince Zuko , it's good to see you are on time " fire lord said with a sly smirk. " Seems you have finally come to your senses since that girlfriend of yours eloped with nobleman Chen's son " Firelord added the jab against his son's ego.
Azula snickered
Zuko's brows twitched in anger and irritation and his lips pursed in a thin line.
" Ohh Zuzu , I told you she will dump you. Since you are not enough for her , she ran away to her lover " Azula laughed wickedly.
" Azula you shut yo-! "
" Enough both of you " cutting off his nephew effectively.
" But Uncle!!!" Zuko argued but shut up after a warning glance from his uncle.
Prince Zuko regained his composure and sat on his chair right across his uncle and left side to his father. Azula sat left to Zuko across from Lu ten who was busy in a deep conversation with his father.
The doors opened with a booming sound announcing Regent Firelord Azulon's arrival.
Regent firelord sat across his youngest son and studied the hall with his piercing eyes with a blank expression on his old visage.
Sensing the tension in the room , Iroh effectively dissolved the discomfort by saying " You look young respected father with each passing day" earning snickers from the princes and the Princess and a deadpan look from Ozai.
With a sly smile on his face Azulon replied
"Ah Iroh , Always the negotiator but you may be right you're looking Older than me" taking the goblet of wine in his hand with a bored expression on his face.
" Of course, I believe your judgement father " said Iroh concealing a smile .
Ozai cleared his throat and starts " I summoned you here to talk about the peace treaty held last month on Roku's Island "
Azula snorted and said " I don't see a reason to discuss such a stupid thing like peace , surely we can conquer and dominate the whole world with our armies " laughing maniacally earning deadpanned looks from other occupants of the room.
" As you said you think, dear cousin Azula but first , turn on your brain gears in preety little head of yours and think that Fire nation is a chain of islands with colonies in earth kingdom, we can be easily submerged by the water nation who by the way are known for their naval forces " said Lu ten with a smirk earning a growl from azula and snickers from Zuko.
" You piece o-!" " Enough of this nonsense " Ozai effectively cutting off Azula with a warning glance in her direction.
Lu ten's smirk widened into a sly smile earning a shake of head from Iroh.
Amused by younger's antics Azulon said in a bored voice " I don't have a whole day for your childish tantrum " effectively cutting off the catfight.
Just then servants entered the hall carrying food platters and wine.
Ozai dismissed the servants and taking bite of the first coarse of food and said while cleaning his mouth with a napkin " I have arranged marriage for three of you " looking at the younger occupants of the room.
A silence followed after the statement.
" No way in the hell I am going-!"
" No fucking way I will go thro-!!"
" I'm not going to marry any moron yo-! "
" SHUT UP" roared the Firelord.
