105 Agorian Ambassador (2/2)
”WHAT!?”
Clemo almost shouted at King Harold but fortunately, he was able to lower his voice to not sound rude
”Your majesty, this is not a simple matter, your father gave his word to his majesty Casek to marry princess Darlene to Prince Jowan”
”I know that better than you, Lord Clemo”
”Then why? Your majesty”
King Harold shook his head and sighed before answering
”Princess Darlene loves someone else, Lord Clemo”
”Oh...wait WHAT?”
Seeing that Clemo's eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, Queen Bella started to narrate the whole story to Lord Clemo from the beginning
After hearing the story that Queen Bella told, Lord Clemo had pretty mixed up feeling within him and he was unable to decide this matter all by himself
”Your majesty, pardon me for asking but isn't it marrying Princess Darlene to our Prince Jowan seems better than marrying her to a king of barren lands and a small unknown kingdom?”
Again King Harold could only curse Darlene in his mind and sigh in regret
”My hands are tied on this matter, Lord Clemo. Even if I agree to marry Darlene to prince Jowan, she won't agree and to be honest, we can't stop her from fleeing Korrinth to the capital or even to some sects ”
Lord Clemo nodded as he understood the point of King Harold but he knew that the Agorian King would not be understandable as him
”Go tell this to your King, Lord Clemo and I will compensate your King for annulling the marriage agreement”
”As you wish, your majesty”
”Alright enough of this, you must be tired after the long journey let me show you the hospitality of Korrinth”
”Then please lead the way, your majesty”
Unlike the room where Don had his breakfast with King Harold, the dining room where lord Cleom sat was elegant and echoed the natural world outside the castle through the glass windows. The table before Lord Clemo which dominated the space, an elongated oval of oak with the raw bark at the edges.
Laid on the oval oak table was an amount of food that would be expected to last several more days and on the table, there were trays of the most delicious food, drinks, and delicacies that made Clemo's mouth water without his control.
Mushroom soup, fried and boiled vegetables with tomatoes the size of peas, rare roast meat slices as thin as paper, noodles in a white sauce, cheese that melts on tongue served with sweet blue grapes. The servers and maids, all young people dressed in white tunics move wordlessly to and from the table, keeping the platters and glasses full.
” where is Princess Darlene and King Don, your majesty?”
After stuffing his belly with all the delicacies as much as he could, Clemo asked King Harold
”Darlene is probably cultivating and King Don, I don't know what's he doing”
It was certainly not the way Clemo had expected that King Harold would talk about Darlene's lover as Clemo could see King Harold's is not very acceptable towards Don from his eyes.
��You know your majesty, although Prince Jowan is not as heavenly blessed as Princess Darlene, he did reach the great master realm a while ago ”
”That's very good”
King Harold hid his shock and surprise by taking a sip from his wine glass as Clemo asked another question
”What about King Don, your majesty? I've heard he's pretty good too”
”And where did you hear that?”
”Where else? Spies in Emir”
King Harold already heard Kate telling that Don is just a mid-level master and after hearing Clemo, King Harold couldn't help but roll his eyes since everyone knew the gap between the master level and the great master level is like the gap between the sky and the land.
”Everyone cannot be blessed like Darlene and Prince Jowan, Lord Clemo”
Queen Bella quickly said before Clemo noticing King Harold's obvious disappointment and frustration about Don by complimenting both Darlene and Prince Jowan which put a wide grin on Clemo's face and also forgot what he was asking about Don.
After this Lord Clemo and King Harold talked about other kingdoms and politics before sending Lord Clemo to his chamber to take rest.
