I was in another meeting with the king and his advisors. It was luckily the only on for the day. As we began to talk about the festival we planned in the upcoming week. I noticed the king was tense and in deep though. Maybe Prince Max had finally said something about his relationship with Alice my dear friend. " F- My king, are you alright?" I ask but almost messed up by calling him father. This was not the place and time to call him that. Plus he wasn't even my father. He opened his mouth then closed it before opening it to speak.

 "I want you to marry Prince Max" the king tells me out of nowhere. I look up and stare at him in shock. We where in the middle of going through our plans to strengthen the relations between civilians and mages. "My king, where is this coming from? I'm sure there are more people adequate in marrying the prince." I respond. In the corner of my eye I see on of his advisors nodding his head.

Don't tell me that he put the king up to this. "Lillian, It may seem like it is coming out of nowhere but if you marry the prince. Mages everywhere will finally feel that they can be equals. What better person to marry the prince than you!" he tells me. Inwardly I sigh, he is right but i know that max will not agree to this. Especially after I had introduced him to my friend alice. Most of all I only saw him as a brother. "You may be right king Arthur but let me think about this." I say not wanting to say yes. He nods satisfied with my response.  

My position as being one of the strongest mage the world has ever seen could be the cause. Another kingdom has made their interest known on acquiring me. Unfortunately for them i'm loyal to this country. Even now i'm trying my best in securing a brighter future for mages. We have always been accused of doing evil and only seen as slaves by others. Shaking my head I continue conversing with the king.

What I needed to focus on was the festival we have planned to commemorate all those who fought in the 5 year war. I being the mastermind in able to win that war. If I had joined sooner than just maybe. The war wouldn't have lasted so much. Than again, I joined once I turned 17. Causing prince max and i to argue. I swear that he was like an annoying younger sibling I wish I had. The plan of this festival was to show that mages also fought in this and have done heroic things as well.

Honestly wonder if my parents would be proud. But in my heart, I think I know the answer. "As stated before, I strongly encourage that we come up with a law that will prohibit mages from being slaves." I say as we move on to laws. I've tried for years since I came to this castle. With a troubled look but still he nodded. "Yes, it may be a good way to start. I'm sorry Lillian, I know you have tried for years but just wait a little longer. If we don't do this carefully, we're going to end with bad results." He responds. I only nod, but in my head I was screaming in delight. Just a bit more and my people will finally be seen as people.

With the meeting concluded I excuse myself with the excuse of going to gather information. Walking through the halls of the castle. I finally let out a groan. Being slumped with paper work and still doing more research about the gem in my possession. I hardly had time to rest. Maybe soon i'll get a good nights rest after this is all done.
