43 Episode-43: King's Summon(2)

After Arc agreed to go to the Academy King nodded and said,

"Good. You need to learn more about this society."

King already decided that Arc will be the next King, So, he doesn't want some people to say that he is not educated.

He was thinking named him as Crown Prince at the end of this year, he could do that earlier, however, there is another thing that matters now most.

"I guess you know the 2nd reason too."

He told that to Arc.

"I can guess more or less. It's about marrying my cousin. I forgot her name to be honest."

Arc told him.

"Yes, her name is Zerin White."

King replied.

"Wait, why her name is White? Isn't she from William's blood?"

Arc asked him with confusion.

"She is from William's bloodline, true. But she got her name from her mother clan."

King replied to him.

"I see. Oh well, should I really marry her, I have already recovered from my sickness."

Arc asked him. On earth, marrying a cousin is considered incest too. Though in his religion marrying a cousin is not forbidden, however, in the ethical viewpoint of current times, most of the family tend to avoid marriage between cousins.

"Well, if you marry her your competitor will decrease, whether she became queen or you become king, the position will remain the same. And you know that your stepbrother wants to marry her too. So, you will be in trouble if he marries him."

King told him.

"Sigh, royalty is really complicated, that's why I don't like it, please forgive my rudeness."

Arc told him with a deep sigh.

"Well, nothing to be sorry about. I don't like it either, despite being a king myself."

King replied with a smile.

"So, when do you want us to marry?"

Arc asked him.

"First week of next month."

King told him.

"That's too fast. Only a week left to the end of this month? Shouldn't we think about our Academy first, and marry a few months later?"

Arc asked him.

"Well, you will go to your respective academy after the second week of marriage."

King told him. Arc was still frowning about the decision.

"Is that girl agreed to that or was she forced by his father?"

Arc asked him.

"No, she will have a summer break from her Academy. So, she said that it will be better to complete this timeline, as she won't be getting any schedule after that in a short time. And you know she agreed to marry you because you cannot move, to make her non-virgin."

King told him.

Well, Arc knows about this information beforehand anyway.

"Okay, everything is fine by me. However, I am thinking that the attacks will come towards more frequently than before. You may be don't know yesterday a bunch of people attacked me."

Arc told him.

"Yes, I know that, they have attacked you in the dungeon. I already have sent the correct rescue team to help you, but it seems you were enough to defeat them alone."

King replied to him.

"You also stock me there. Yes, I was talking about them."

Arc replied to him.

"Well, there will be a strong guy who will try to kill you when you come back from the dungeon, what will you do? Do you want to fight with him, or let me take care of him before he could engage you?"

King asked him.

"Of course, I want to face him. But please, back me up from the shadows. Hmm... but how do you know he will attack me?"

Arc asked him.

"I have my connection. Because of this, I am a King, becoming a King is not an easy feat, son. We require connection and be ready for every little conflict."

King replied to him.

'Well, it's perfectly logical to have a network like this for a king.'

Arc thought inwardly.

"Well, what about my dear stepmother, won't she interfere with our marriage."

Arc asked him. He meant by the frequent attack is his stepmother and siblings.

"Of course, she will try that. But I don't let that happen. She has no idea how much authority Williams and Whites have."

King replied to him. He chuckled and continued,

"I have confidence that she won't be your greatest threat to usurp the throne. Our noble also won't be a threat, our major enemy is outsiders."

"Outsider?"

Arc asked him.

"Those who attacked you yesterday were outsiders. Queen or your siblings didn't send them, they are unrelated to our country, Queen or noble."

King told him.

"Then who they are?"

Arc asked them.

"I will tell you about them later. Or they will explain to you by themselves, you need to chill for now. Not all information is good to know earlier."

King replied.

Arc sighed long for the second time. He thought his father was right. Not everything he needs to know, at least for time being it's not good to know. However, he was still curious about them.
