CHAPTER 3: 31ST CONSORT ​③



Feria's mornings start early. It's her daily routine to move her body right after waking up. After getting out of the mansion, she stretched her body. 




"Well then, let's do this"




After saying that, she headed towards the well near the mansion and gathered some water. After washing her face, she grabbed some cloth that was inside the pocket of her apron and wiped her face. As the sun slowly rises, the moment it lightens up the surrounding is Feria's most favorite moment. That's why she always wakes up early to gaze at it. 




"Please help me today as well."



Feria said while facing the sunrise as she prayed. This is also one of Feria's daily routines in the morning. After she's done doing that, she headed back to the mansion.


 * * * 


While Feria is doing her daily morning routine, the king, just like her is, working hard as well. Dannan Kingdom's king, King Macron is currently shirtless and his upper body exposed, as he swings down the wooden sword on his hand. Just like Feria, he also starts his day early. 

It seems like Macron finds moments like this, where the only thing he can hear is the sound of his wooden sword slashing against the wind and the sound of his own breathing, extremely precious. 

However, everything changed two months ago. 


Two months ago, Macron's sleep was hindered and the times where he can wake up in a refreshed state disappeared. Now, he wakes up listlessly and with a wooden sword in his hands, he rebukes himself. He swings his sword while telling himself, that the things that hinder his sleep will get over soon and that everything else as well. 


"Just three more months. I just have to be patient for three more months"



With that in mind and wooden sword at hand, Macron, prayed. 


 The first candidate up to the thirty-first queen candidate must be present. He could never evade Danan Kingdom's Queen selection. Even though it is the King, who will choose, King Macron couldn't just randomly take his pick. Since there are three stages for the Queen selection.


First, during the first three months is the mingling stage between the King and the candidates and then Macron has to choose who will remain among them. Followed by the Queen's training for nine months and last is to choose for a Queen that Macron can support and will be able to comply with Macron's wishes. 

Even though they're just consort candidates, while staying inside the Royal Palace, everyone is called a 'Queen'


Even before the selection started, Macron was already on a stumped. Because he couldn't gather thirty-one consort candidates. If he couldn't gather all 31, then the selection can not begin. But since there's already the 31st candidate, he couldn't ignore the matter anymore and had to start the process and has no more choice but to mingle with them. 

Even though it is considered as a mingling process, it's not like they're doing in a sexual relationship between a man and a woman. As the consort candidates are comprised of princesses from other kingdoms, even a twelve-year-old princess is included, haughty and boastful princesses and noble ladies... ...what's more troublesome are the daughters of the nobles of Danan Kingdom. They all look at Macron with eyes of a predator. 

And in order to attain the Queen's seat, for something like that all thirty of them has already gathered here, two months ago. There's no wonder why he is obstructed even in his sleep.  


"Finally! Finally! After three months!"


The mortification he has been through for the past two months has long damaged him, Macron is already at the utmost limits in both mentally and physically.


"Why, why do I have to bother doing things like playing house!"

Like the swing of the wooden sword slashes in the air, he couldn't help but remember when he had to face the young princess. 


"Why do I have to drink disgusting tea with a woman who doesn't even bother to smile!" 

And so another slash was made as he remembered the haughty manner of the princess he was with. 


"Why, why do I have to dance with a woman who reeks of perfume!"


Then he made a big swing and the wooden sword seems to have rippled the sound in the air as if to slash away the image of a voluptuous looking consort candidate. As veins seems to have appeared into his forehead. 




" Your Highness."


Upon hearing the voice of the Knight who was in charge of Feria, he stopped swinging his wooden sword. 



"Good morning. Today as well, your training is as wonderful as ever"



"Enough with the flattery. State your business"


"Starting today, the selection for the Queen candidate will begin. Today is the 15th so you'll have to spend time with the 15th Consort."



"... ...Is that so"

Macron said as if he was fed-up with everything. Even though he did all those sword training to relieve himself for a bit, to think that it will commence once again and that he has to put up with it for three more months. King Macron couldn't help but sigh as the sunrise shines upon his lonely figure.


And just like always, Macron faced the rising sun and deep in his heart, he prayed. 



"I'll be in your care, today as well"

After finishing up his daily routine and headed to the 15th Consort candidate, with an expression of wishing to finish all these troublesome things sooner.

* * * 
For Macron, the hellish three months has once again begun. But how about Feria? 

The knights that Macron has assigned to the consort candidates are for some reasons looking refresh than ever. And it is all because of Feria, who is different compared to all the other consort candidates. Just how will things be if King Macron, meets Feria? However, it will be a long time before Macron and Feria can meet up with each other.




Because it would take two more months before the 31st day arrives.
