PERPETUALLY BOUNDED

Chapter Two

Back in the conclave, everyone was present except the first prince, Queen Amira left to look for him nevertheless, King Gunther went on with the announcement

" I'd apologize for the banters earlier.

Now,to pronounce the rightful heir to this throne, I present to you,now crown princess, Beatrix Lovely Armgard....my daughter, whom I love and cherise"

The applause in the room was like no other,it made the king aware choosing Frederick would have attracted the opposite reaction. Princess Beatrix stood up and walked towards her dad. Queen Charlotte brought a crown perfectly sitting on a royal cushion. King Gunther took it and placed it trice on her head,as she repeated the three words after him

" Leadership "

"Justice "

"Power "

Queen Charlotte's eyes met with King Gunther but she looked away first. He sighed as he remembered what happened in the meeting room.

FLASHBACK

The king sat on his throne as he watched his elders come in. A soft sigh escaping his lips. The next moment the two Queens came in, Amira sat on the Queen seat beside him, that's because Charlotte already sat beside the Former Military general,the most wise and responsible man among the elders

"What do the people say? General" Gunther asked General Willem.

" I mentioned this earlier,the princess have shown unweilding dominance among your children, of course, there's never been a female reigning that's because none of the past kings respected women,its not harm to change that rule,after all the princesses never fought for what's theirs but Princess Beatrix is exceptional, she's fighting for what's her birthright and majority of the people are strongly behind her....as for the prince...he's.. " Queen Amira was quick to cut him off

" you better shut it,don't even dare speak vile of my son,he's the rightful owner and I'm strongly supporting him too" she warned sternly

" I don't want to believe your son took your character but you're giving me reasons to believe it" that's the youngest elder..Elder Gerard.

" look at the elderst Queen,resilient as always,when we made the decision to make your son the crowned prince she,infact decided to take care of the decorations but here you are....behaving like the second choice you are.....I say Princess Beatrix be the crowned" that's the fourth Elder....

The king turned to Queen Charlotte

" Any words....my Queen" he asked respectfully

" I believe the king has the ultimate say,and I believe he does no mistakes" she said softly and one would know where Beatrix had her melodious voice from.

PRESENT

The party was ongoing afterwards and the dignitaries were taking turns to congratulate the crown princess, the king had his arms wrapped around his daughters own proudly. A contact she hated badly but had to put up with for the public eyes.

He turned to her in all smiles

" come let me show you to the current military general. You would be working Hand in hand with him as time goes on" he said fondly

" The new one? I learned he's pretty young for that position and I learned he's a man of substance, respectable, capable and good looking " she said to him and he smiled

"You learnt right,he's there" King Gunther said and gestured towards a direction, she followed and before her stood a man,all 6 foot 5 of him,in his dark purple tuxedo,he held a cocktail glass which he'd twirl at intervals as he spoke with some other men.....

That's Sven Maarten,the only son of Willem Maarten,the former military general.

He's twenty five,young but capable,quarter a year ago,he became the military general.

If you're looking for someone who hardly makes a complete sentence then it's him,just a word or two then he's good to go,that earned him more respect because you never know his next move. He has an elder sister,call her crazy cuz that's what she is.

He was still talking to his friends when suddenly one of them cleared his throat

" Don't freak out when I tell you this bro,but you have the eyes of the king and the crown princess on you....oh oh...I think they're heading here,catch up later bro....and oh she's a fine wine" Collins said before walking away with the others. He didn't want to think much but collins' last words seem to haunt him.

The clearing of throat made him turn around,truly it's them

He bowed slightly to the king before attempting to do same for the princess but she bowed slightly first stopping him...his eyes widen crazily..

" My princess,don't flatter me in such ways" he said a soft frown on his pretty face

She wasn't smiling either

"I don't fancy you bowing for me

I'm no Queen yet" she stated

"Can a handshake neutralize it then? Cause I don't fancy you bowing to me either " he said, making she smirk

She brought her hands forth first and he held it gently

" A formal introduction would do" he said still holding those delicate hand

" Beatix Lovely Armgard, crown princess" she spoke softly without any smile

" Sven Maarten,military General" he also said a soft smirk on his face.

A commotion made them break the contact

That's Frederick,his right hand was all bloody, he seemed to he wounded badly cause it had tears and cuts all over his hand,he screamed crazily holding the pathetic hand. Queen Amira rushed to him since she's been searching for him

"Mom!!! See what someone did to me,it hurts mommmm!!!!!!" He yelled dramatically

" do you remember the face" that's prince Charles

"No,i...i...I passed out....just get me painkillers "

"You're just stupid " That's Amy,she and lily walked off leaving him ...the king intervened,making guards send him to the hospital before the whole commotion ended.

Beatrix walked into her room,a place she seeks solace and warmth. The interior decor is something worth writing about. From a purple and white furnishings to a white wall and lavender ceiling, almost everything has a purple.

When you look closely you'd realize there's no pillow on her bed,she hates them a lot and can't do with them at all. She stood infront of her full oval shaped mirror and striped herself bare before taking off the purple hair band allowing her dark straight hair to cascade down her back,it stopped two inches under her butt,that's how long her hair is.

She walked into the bathroom did her business and came out in a nightie that's sexy as hell, just a little transparent. She grapped her phone and typed on it,the next minute the wall by her left snapped into two before separating slowly, revealing a door,the door didn't have any knob, just a finger print scanning device which made the door opened after she pressed her left thumb on it, she pushed it open and entered before closing it behind.

A smirk tug on her lips as her eyes went to the wanted board. A black board that had pictures of one particular person all over.

"Sven Maarten "

She mumbled as she placed both hands on the board fixed on the wall,the light in the room was dim adding more suspense to the whole episode.

The pictures of Sven ranged from him as a boy and him as an adult now.

In some he was home,in his car,in his office,in a mall, those he was changing clothes in, those he was having a bath in, those he was on field, those he was training, those he was driving, even those as a boy with him eating candies and ice creams, she had it all.

"You shouldn't have.....I wanted to look at you from afar but you decided to shake hands???......you've got no idea the wish you just signed....get ready to welcome me into your life then....General Sven" she mumbled without a single emotion,her fingers began tracing the red rope that connected the pictures with the help of pins...
