Her father gave a hearty laugh, raising his elaborate gold wine glass, "that's good. Good!"
The family of three chatted before Ramiya finally brought up the topic regarding her marriage.
She took a sip of water before staring at her father. A bit apprehensive but still determined. "Father… My coming of age ceremony will take place in 2 weeks."
The king raised his eyebrows. "That's right."
Richard and Devon stopped eating, their eyes glued on the two, interested.
Ramiya smiled, "this daughter of yours would like to request something. You'll allow it as a gift won't you?"
Her father narrowed his eyes. The princess faced his eyes head-on, unafraid of the king's frosty stare. Seeing him take the gold wine glass to drink, Ramiya opened her mouth. "It's something simple, really."
"I would like to get married to Duke Elin."
The king's glass was laid with force, the sound echoing throughout the dining room. "Ramiya." He called out, his voice stern with a hint of questioning.
