ACASHA (A Symbol of Eternity and Resurrection)

Chapter 15's

...🦋 HAPPY READING 🦋...

Morgan looked agitated as he felt Castela's breath in his heated chest. He glanced at the little girl who seemed to be moving restlessly in her sleep with cold sweat flooding her pretty face.

"What's wrong with her? What exactly did he dream of? Why has he been so restless in his sleep since last night?" Marcel.

He quickly spurred his horse as it entered the city. Whispers from the Nobles and society began to be heard when they saw the two of them, with the condition of the clothes that seemed far from the word clean.

Morgan did not respond to the whispers, he was now only focused on the girl in front of him who must be immediately helped.

While on a road trip, Marcel accidentally meets Prince Morgan. Just as he was about to pay his respects, his movements came to a halt upon realizing that the prince had not seen him. The prince who was usually always relaxed and very attentive around, this time looked different.

Then, his focus was shifted to the figure in the prince's arms. His eyes stared in shock as he realized who the little girl was.

"Everyone, back to the residence!" Marcel said as he looked at the direction headed by Prince Morgan.

Karel who was around there also followed. He was just as surprised as Marcel. All the scattered soldiers immediately followed Prince Morgan to a place, the residence of Duke Herli.

It also did not escape the view of the nobles and also the community. Until rumors that Prince Morgan who had kidnapped Lady Castela was a hot topic among the nobility.

The hottest topic, though,

The crown prince reportedly took the youngest daughter of Duke Herli, Lady Castela

"Have you heard the hot news among the nobles?"

"Ah, the news of the crown prince that brought Lady Castela away isn't it?"

"Well, I also heard it from my husband, he said Duke Herli was really furious."

"Right, I saw it for myself while shopping. Lady Castela looked unconscious, and the prince seemed to be in a great hurry riding his Horse. Even their clothes are really dirty."

"I also saw Duke Herli's son working in the academy, lord Marcel with his knights inspecting the entire city from last night."

"Ah, I also saw them, my horse-drawn carriage accidentally crossed with the royal army led by the commander of Karel."

"I feel sorry for them, it looks like they're involved in a love triangle. Poor princess Rosenta, how she felt when she found out her husband was cheating."

"Hey, watch your words, madam. Didn't you hear the rumors before? If the royal family asks Lady Castela to marry Prince Morgan, but she is rejected by Lady Castela because she does not want to be made a second."

"Well, I heard it too, said my husband who works in government, princess Rosenta spreading rumors in the palace if Lady Castela had a very bad temper. Even the princess Rosenta begged the prince not to marry again."

"Ah, what a cruel mouth princess Rosenta. Was he afraid of being eliminated by Lady Castela who had a higher position? Isn't Rosenta's daughter just a commoner girl?"

"Hey, watch your mouth, what if someone hears it? Isn't Rosenta's daughter an ACASHA? It's only natural that he's destined for the prince."

"Are you fools? My dad said if there was cheating at the event. She said Rosenta's daughter was not ACASHA, because lady Castela couldn't take part in the purgatory."

That's roughly the kind of rumor that has been going on for almost two weeks after Prince Morgan brought Lady Castela back to the residence. Instead of fading, the rumor is getting hotter.

So this rumor raises an imbalance in the world of government. There is a dispute between the pros and cons of the crown prince's wife who until now has not been able to give offspring.

"Truely said the glorious Marquis Farley, acasha is the balance of the SEATHLAND continent. Many city leaders protested for the prince to marry again soon. Especially with this rumor, many people agree with the daughter of Duke Herli."

"Even your majesty, if you marry them, is it not the same as justifying the rumor? wouldn't that even defame the kingdom?"

"Then what do you want? the rumors will not fade if they are left alone. Isn't Lady Castela the strongest candidate to be the crown princess?"

"I agree that if the prince remarries, but before that, the princess must be adopted as an empress because she is an acasha."

"Sorry prime minister, but none of that will happen. Only the prince's wife can give the offspring the right to that position."

"What do you mean Marquis? do you want to say that an acasha has the right to be made second? Your Excellency, please be wise in your decision. Don't take decisions that will hurt us in the future."

"It seems that the decision was right. Our country is having some problems with the Zwitland kingdom. If the prince marries Lady Castela, then the royal family will get Duke Herli's military aid. And it's very useful in the future."

King Philip looked silent, looking at Duke Herli who did not open his voice.

"What do you think Duke? This is all related to your daughter. I want to ask your opinion because your daughter is the one they're debating." Ask King Philip.

"You are the leader of this glorious country. I can't give much opinion. If my daughter is willing, then I will also be willing. If my daughter is unwilling, I will accept whatever her decision is. But, as I said, you are the leader. Even if we are not willing, we can only do as you put it. A king's word is the word of a god. And for those who defy the commandment of the gods, there is nothing better than death."

King Philip nodded in understanding, smiling at the reply given by Duke Herli. Indeed, it was not wrong of him to ask for an opinion from the man.

"Alright, I'll talk about this to the prince first. After that, I'll tell you, the meeting's over." King Philip left the room followed by the officials.

King Philip returned to his study, seeing his son who was the mastermind of all this already sitting on the sofa.

'Faster than I thought.' said the king in his heart

"Ah, how's the prince doing? how's your condition?" ask King Philip.

Prince Morgan smiled at his father. This was the first smile of hundreds of days they had ever had. Making King Philip raise his eyebrows.

"As you can see my father, I've been much healthier" he replied.

"Good, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"Before that, there was also something I wanted to convey to you noble" said Prince Morgan who increasingly made a fold on King Philip's forehead.

"What is prince?" King Philip asked while sipping his tea.

"I want to marry Lady Castela, daughter of Duke Herli" he said steadily

Ukuk! Ukuk! Ukuk!

King Philip spouted out the tea he had just drunk in shock at what his son had just said.

"Can you repeat your words, prince?" asked the King still did not believe in his own hearing.

"I want to marry Lady Castela's father" he said steadily
