Throne of the Prince

Doubting the Solution

The king again sent for his son when he went into his room. The prince did not waste time in going to his father. After knocking and being given the go ahead, he entered.

"Greetings father!"

"How are you doing son?"

"Not good father."

"Don't worry son. We've gotten the solution to the problem."

"Really! What is the solution? Let's do it fast!"

"Keep calm son. All you have to do is get a bride and at the right time, ascend the throne."

Prince Mitinge stood still while staring at his father. He suddenly erupted into laughter thinking his father was pulling his legs but realizing the king wasn't laughing, he also stopped.

"You are actually serious. Is this some conspiracy to make me take a bride? This isn't funny and I'm not going to fall for it."

"This is no conspiracy son. That is the solution the seer gave."

"Then I will look for a different solution. I don't believe this is the only solution. I'm not ready to take a bride why don't you get it! If that's all then I beg to take my leave."

The prince left without waiting for his father to say anything else. He didn't believe what his father said.

"My ancestors please help me. I don't know what to do about this matter anymore."

It was obvious the king was worried about his son but he can't force him to do the right thing.
