Lord Zorander Resident.

"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Lord Zorander asked fixing his gaze on lord Yancey. "Yes, Joe himself heard the princess discussing this with her personal maid," lord Yancey assured

"Hmm, it a bit unbelievable," lord Zorander commented nodded his head as he tried to process all the information he just received.

"Even I would not have believed if my son did not bring the news, but we should still verify it, Lord Yancey said.

"Hmmm, I would have to find out from the said maid, Lord Zorander replied, in his head, he knew that he could find out the truth just by looking at the boy. If his precious daughter gave birth to the boy, then the blood of the Zorander also flows in his vine and he would recognize that. Lord Yancey nodded his head in agreement.

"Father allow me to take care of this, issue" Robert, the eldest son of lord Zorander offered. He knew his father really loved Agatha since she was his only daughter, but he did not want him getting directly involved since he felt his father was old and should rest. Lord Zorander nodded in agreement understanding his son's concern.

"I did not come here just to bring this piece of information, as we all know we just ended a war and the kingdom is not as stable as it used to be. I would not want to stair up any doubt. My father and lord Zorander we're good friends. Our families have enjoyed the long-time friendship and think it time for us to become family."

"I want my son Joe to marry your daughter Jane," lord Yancey stateted looking at Robert instead of the old man.

Robert nodded his head after listening to what lord Yancey offered. He looked at his father and when he saw his father had no objection, he replied lord Yancey.

"My friend I will also like us to become family but you know the ways of the Zoranders. My daughter Jane must be willing to marry your son before we can give our consent."

Lord Yancey nodded his head. Of course, he knew this, Lord zorander frowns at arrange marriage if the young couple involved are not interested. Rumors have it that as a young lad lord zorander had been in love with the daughter of a savant girl but it was forbidden. In the end, he was forced into marrying a noble lady befitting for his title, and the young maid was killed. So when he became the leader of his family he decided to cancel every arrange marriage and ask the young lad to court the lady himself.

"I understand, then I hope it is okay for him to at least befriend her so they could get to know each other better," lord Yancey asked.

"Of course, I give my blessing Joe is a lovely man, suited for my Jane," Robert answered. Lord Yancey nodded his head in understanding. After a few more drinks lord Yancey left, after Robert promise to speak to his daughter.

"Send a message to the Royal Palace, I want to go and visit my daughter," Lord Zorander said as soon as he was left alone with his son.

"But father you promise to allow me to handle this," Robert protected. Agatha was his beloved younger sister, he knew that his father only warms up to their late mother after the birth of Agatha. His father used to treat his mother and him like strangers but that changed after she gave birth to Agatha.

Although his father did not love his mother he treated her more nicely after Agatha, so he knew that everything related to her must be taken seriously.

"Son, I just want to see the young man, I promise to let you handle it," lord Zorander replied. Robert nodded his head satisfied at his father's reply.

Lord Zorander shake his head helplessly as he walked towards his room. He has never really wanted his Agatha to get married to the crown prince. He knew her pure heart would not be able to understand the schemes in the Royal family. Of truth lord zorander would have wanted his beloved daughter Agatha married to a household like the Yancey family, instead of the royal family that was filled with vipers.

The Royal family was on a different level and it was difficult for him to protect her there. if she had married into the Yancey family, they would at the very least respect her family and not use some schemes on her. It was not that lord Zorander hated King George, but he feared that the scheme in the royal family will swallow up his daughter.

Now he was afraid that his grandchildren are suffering from the schemes. George promised to protect his daughter but he has failed to protect his children. How could he be careless enough to get his son stolen from him under his nose?

Lord Zorander shakes his head, the palace was guided and a maid should not easily steal a baby from his birth without been caught by a guard unless the king was careless with his pregnant wife or he allowed it.

Lord zorander decided to choose the first option, after all, he also failed to protect the only woman he loved. Besides he knew that he would get all his questions answered once he laid his hands on the maid stupid enough to scheme against his daughter.

Robert Zorander chamber.

"Jane, Lord Yancey was here to ask for your hand in marriage. He wants you to marry his son Joe," Robert informed his wife and daughter together. He loved the idea and he hoped his spoiled daughter will be sensible.

"I don't want to joe, I want to marry the crown prince," Jane replied in a spoiled tone, and her mother nod in agreement.

Robert shook his head ae could feel his head hurt already. His father will never agree for her to marry the prince especially because of the information they just receive from lord Yancey. When the time comes the Zorander will support Agatha's son if what Lord Yancey said happens to be the truth.

*Why do you want to marry the prince?" Robert asked.

"Because when I marry the prince, i will become the queen. Father, you must talk to the king about this." Jane replied.

Robert looked at his wife and daughter and shake his head. It was already a known fact that prince Williams will not make a good king. Chances are that there will be a war to steal the throne from him, after the death of the king.

Although Queen Regina could be seen as a protection for her son, the Tyler was not among the strongest household in the kingdom. But his wife and daughter would not understand all this. They are unaware of the schemes that go on in a royal family.

"You should tell your grandfather. We would be visiting the palace in a few days," Robert told his daughter knowing that his father would directly reject the idea. Besides his wife will dare not instigate their daughter against his father.

"What?" Robert's wife shot her husband an angry look understanding what he was up to.

"Yes Jane, your grandfather is already aware of the proposal from Yancey.. He approved it and so do I, but if you are not interested you should tell your grandfather," Robert answered.
