The Suggestion

It was a meeting with the nobles again. And again, her grandfather, the Emperor, asked her to present in the meeting. It was about the upcoming hunting competition that will be held in the Dukedom’s estate, as usual. As they talked about it and assigned everyone’s task, Princess Darya suddenly raised her hand to speak.

“Excuse my bold request but may I join the hunting competition?”

There was a long silence there until then everybody reacted one at a time, making the meeting noisy.

“How could a princess join…”

“Your highness, you are too young…”

“We should make a rule for this…”

So then the Emperor cleared his throat, silencing everyone. He then turned his gaze to Princess Darya. Since he is close to her, he reached his hand to tap her head. “My grandchild, do you know that you are fourteen years old?”

Her jaw dropped as she remembered that she is actually a teen-ager. She also realized that she was actually seventeen years old when she joined the hunt
