Chapter 35：A Very Risky Decision

Feeling the disapproval bubbling in her heart, Queen Lunanis slightly pursed her lips.  She was like the finest pearl bead the entire universe had, which was sent down in Hexa to illuminate the planet.  "Why do you have to arrange a marriage for Aerus with Princess Harya?  You don't have to go that far. Seeing that Aerus hasn't even been able to awaken Mirah energy in his body, wouldn't it be strange if we speed up the marriage?"

Queen Lunanis strung together with the words of hers, which splattered in various corners of her brain because she was too confused right now. She was the only one that could protect Prince Aerus from King Artesun.  Apart from Queen Lunanis, there would be no one who would dare to take that responsibility.

And Queen Lunanis knew that Prince Aerus was honestly very against the arranged marriage that was done by King Artesun.  The reason was still too ambiguous because Prince Aerus would continue to offer excuse after reason so that he could get rid of this arranged marriage.  However, it seemed that Queen Lunanis knew the real reason for Prince Aerus, that he just didn't like Princess Harya.  And arguably, as far as Queen Lunanis knew, Prince Aerus did not like any of the girls in Hexa.

"This is very sudden, King.  Even though arranged marriages are quite common in Hexa, but you can't take that way to solve Aerus' problems.  By taking that method, you will indirectly set an example for your people to do the same."  Queen Lunanis raised her hand several times as if she was able to move the stars in the sky.

"If you give an example of arranged marriage, then you have directly opposed the power of the universe.  The universe has chosen the mates of the Elfagos in Hexa, by giving signs as you already know.

"I quite understand that maybe you are afraid that Aerus' soul mate turns out to be a bad girl, or maybe filled with darkness.  That's why you want to prevent all that, by marrying Aerus to Princess Harya."

Sometimes some nobles or parents in Hexa would marry their children with other Elfagos, who had the same degree and power of authority.  This was done for various reasons.

It could be that Elfagos's parents wanted to expand their power, while their son's or daughter's mate was from a low class.  Or it could be that their child's mate was a criminal, who had committed many crimes.  Therefore, for the safety of their child's life, they would marry their child with another Elfagos who they thought was good.  While the original mate of their child would usually be murdered, to avoid the growth of black hair on their child's head which was a family disgrace.

As long as their children had not been marked by their original mate, then it would not matter if their child's mate was killed.  Their children would still be able to live according to the age that had been recorded in the pages of the universe.

"Besides, are you ready to face criticism from various parties if one day Aerus' hair remains gold while Princess Harya's hair remains black?  It was a sign that they had done nothing on their first night, and that would be a huge scandal.

"Then will you be prepared to endure criticism if Princess Harya's hair turns silver while Aerus' hair is still gold?  And strangely, Princess Harya is still not pregnant?  Didn't you know that it would be very strange?  You will practice a very risky thing, King."

King Artesun clenched his fists, beneath his sapphire blue royal robes.  He would not show excessive anxiety to his wife, and he would not show any obvious emotions to her.  Even though he felt it all.  King Artesun was worried, he was worried, and very scared too.

The power that he had to rule the Hexodar Kingdom was also a destiny because he had a mate that was Queen Lunanis, who used to be a princess from the Ferondum Kingdom.  The Ferondum Kingdom was the largest empire after the Hexodar Kingdom.

Many people said that the matchmaking of King Artesun, who used to be one of the princes in the Hexodar Kingdom, with Queen Lunanis had shown King Artesun's great destiny in the future.  And with that fate or match, the universe had had King Artesun, rather than his other siblings, to lead the Hexodar Kingdom.

The election of kings in the past was done in this way.  Namely from destiny in the method of a mate chosen by the universe.  So from the many sons or daughters that the kings had, which one of them had a mate with the highest social strata.  If the kings knew the result, then they would find the heiress of a kingdom.

The ancient way was still very fair to take, but King Artesun knew that he wouldn't be able to go the old way because Prince Aerus' condition was….  different.

What Queen Lunanis had said had honestly been in King Artesun's mind.  He had explored all the possibilities.  The longer he thought about it, the more likely it was that it would happen.  Therefore King Artesun chose to stop thinking about it for a moment.

"King, you still don't know who Aerus' mate is.  You never know if his mate is in this galaxy or another galaxy.  And you will never know whether Aerus' mate was born or not.  If in the future Aerus meets his mate, at a royal meeting, then are you ready to bear the consequences?

"This is also not only about Aerus, but also about Princess Harya, as well as the name of the Geerl Kingdom.  You hold the name of not just one kingdom.  You've risked enough of the many kingdoms.  I'm not pressuring you not to take risks.  In all your decisions I will fully support you and will correct you if you make some mistakes.  And now I'm trying to do the same.  I don't want you to be in too much of a hurry."  Queen Lunanis was teary, she almost cried because of various things.  At the bottom of her heart, she knew how huge a burden her husband bears.

This petty debate would continue for a while, as long as the message from Hamdi, saying that Prince Aerus had found his mate, had not yet been received by Hexa's radar or Hexodar's royal radar.  Currently, Hamdi's message was wallowing in some signal energy strikes, which were caused by planetary explosions, the movement of molecular particles in space, and also the emergence of black holes that were increasingly prevalent in space.  Things like that did happen sometimes.
