zain's pov
"wake up!! wake up, your highness" a royal servant tried to wake me up, keyword tried while shaking me violently. while I stirred thinking who the hell has the guts to wake me the crown prince the firstborn of king Arhan and queen Zanha who is waiting to face my wrath
." wake up prince zain his majesty has asked for your presence in the royal courtroom "
after listening to his words I woke up urgently and cursed myself for not sleeping early while winding business-related files. what are you shocked ?? don't be I am a prince which handles states business as well as our royal family business and has a reputation relax let me tell you if I were not a prince I would sure be a billionaire enough about me now let's get back to the current situation in my royal chambers I asked zayed
"when? when did his majesty ask this ?"
to this my servant hurriedly replied
"your highness his majesty asked your presence in the royal courtroom at 10 am sharp. "
when I saw the time its 9:00 am and I had only one hour to prepare I turned and asked Zayed the royal servant
" zayed I swear to god if you were not my friend or were not with me since childhood I could kill you in a second and now go and get my bath ready as his majesty wants to see me "to which he sarcastically replied"ok your highness"
well, you must be thinking why did I call my father as his majesty and why didn't zayed call my name and used my title instead. as an answer to that, we have a royal rule no 79 that when you are in place or anywhere doing royal duties you are supposed to call your royal family members by their titles not by your relationship with them or by their name. I don't always call my dad as his majesty when we are alone on a family trip we are even allowed to call our family members by name including elders as well cool, isn't it? thinking to call my dad who is the well-known king across the continent as Arhan ooh thinking of gives me layers of joy itself.
a few minutes, zayed knocked and said
"your highness bath is ready "
after good 30 minutes of the bath, I came out wearing a red shirt and with golden buttons and a golden waistband and a blue colored sash while wearing white jeans.i had 25 minutes left so I let my hairstylist styled my hair quickly and I took my sword along with me and went for royal courtroom
A few moments later
I entered the courtroom and saw my mom and dad sitting on the throne chairs. I quickly bowed and greeted them
"good morning your majesty I was informed that you needed my presence "
this majesty replied " morning ah yes have a seat "
I quickly sat down on the nearest chair and asked,
"what's the matter his majesty you look anxious?"
your majesty answered, "son can you stop calling me as your majesty we are all gathered here to talk about business so no more use of titles is required,"
"ok dad"
at that moment my brother and sister entered while playfully pushing each other. dad cleared his throat loudly to silence them
" have a seat Lil kids, " dad said
while mom scolded them saying
"When will you both start acting like a prince and princess and quit acting like children"
to dad comment on them being Lil kids, they both shouted
"dad!!!! we are not lil kids "
and I teased them by saying
" you both sure act like them "
they shouted and sumped at that one comment after a few second fathers said: "may I continue or you want to pull other antics?"
my brother and sister said at the same time
"Please continue your highness"
father started saying "like you that arham your brother acts like a child cannot let him handle this merger so zain I want you to go to Aligarh for a merger with Waheed's and stay there for 1 year "and my mother decided to speak at that moment that only means one thing whenever my mother cut father it's only for a daughter in law demands and I am tired of her demands
"I heard that Aligarh has beautiful and disciplined girls live and kindly do this favor to your mom by getting yourself a wife"
"yes I also want a sister in law to do girly things with "
my sister sharia added. and brother who also wanted to add something said
"yes I need another sister other than this i***t sharia to protect"
and they started bickering again
I cleared my throat and said
"dad I will go to Aligarh for merger and mom I don't believe in love trust care and stuff please not after I lost her and stop forcing me I will get my wife when god thinks its right time for me"
"you were not the only one we also lost her "
"but the fault was mine"
"but--"
my mom started but mat father cut her off by saying
"good then son I will get Afzan to get the private jet ready"
afzan is my dad's right-hand man and our royal army chief he also handles traveling matters.
"but dad where will I stay?"
"you will stay at Waheed's mansion and we will join you soon after merger deal is signed "
arham and sharia who were quiet for a time squealed in joy and said "yay we love you brother we are having another family vacation "
let me tell my siblings loves two things one is having vacation and second is pulling pranks on everyone.
after the whole two-hour-long conference in the courtroom, I got out after saying goodbye to mom and dad and went to my chambers . as I entered I called zayed. he knocked on the door
"come in"
"Your highness, you called me ?"
"yes, zayed pack your back along with mine. we are going somewhere for 1 year"
I didn't tell zayed about Aligarh because in royal families whenever they travel its kept secret to avoid being assassinated or being under attack as I am the crown prince I have faced twice the danger to keep my loved ones safe. (rule number 48)
"will do your highness anything else ?"
"nothing that will be all and get these backs ready by 1 pm tomorrow along with urself"
"if that's all I will take my leave then "
and he exited the room after that.
