Chapter 82 THE KINGS' PLAN A

FIRA’S POV

In the middle of our hug, Zephyrus removed our arms. “Great job. You showed your relationship to the Princess. You think she’ll not mess up Fira’s life?”

The princess was not there. She probably walked out when she saw the scene. Hali was tsking while he was shaking his head from left to right. Raiden had no expression, he was holding his burned hand because of Pyro. Colden was sighing. I was amazed by the friendship and the love that they had for each other, especially the support. They were working together.

“What should we do then?” Colden asked.

“Nothing,” Raiden said. He was still handsome with his wincing when he was rotating his hand. “Pyro can still marry her and create a child with her. “

The sadness formed in my face. Yeah, who am I to prevent it? He is a king after all.

“Then how about Fira?” Zephyrus kept minding me when in fact. That was not a problem for me.

The royal destined to be a royal. They will only marry each other and rule the kingdom together.

“Don’t make this easy, Raiden. Pyro loves Fira. Fira loves Pyro,” Hali said as if he was so sure of what he was saying.

“Huh?” Pyro and I said simultaneously.

“I...I—sorry, your majesty. I don’t know…” I was looking for the correct word to say, but nothing came out. I was unsure about loving Pyro. Maybe I liked her, but not love. I was messed up. Right now!

Crap.

“I don’t love her either.” Pyro was averting his look to his brother.

“I like the scenes! The omega and king denial!” Zephyrus laughed out loud. His laugh was radiating to whoever heard it. That was why the kings chuckled, too. “Is that not love? Kissing under the moonlight?” Zephyrus continued teasing us.

Pyro bit his lips. I could see that his eyes were smiling.

“Date on freedom day?” Hali rode the tease of Zephyrus.

“Hug as if there’s no tomorrow?” I would not expect that Raiden would join them.

“Call her garbage again. I will put you in the trash,” Colden imitated how serious the face of Pyro was while saying those lines. They laughed so hard as my faces became super bright red while Pyro was looking at them sharply.

“Shut up!” Pyro turned his back on us and then walked away.

“Hey, King Fire! Don’t you want to bring Fira in your room? Enjoy the days when you’re not yet married!” Zephyrus chuckled so bad as he covered his mouth cutely. I thought he loved me?

Zephyrus stared at me and then smirked. “I was thinking of making Pyro jealous by saying I love you. I thought it would work. I’m not a good actor. He doesn’t believe me.” He laughed again as he wrapped his arm on my shoulder.

“I think Zephyrus will have no arms tomorrow if Pyro sees it enveloping Fira’s shoulder.” Hali grinned at him.

Zephyrus just winked on him. “King Fire should not marry that witch. I don't like her.” I was shocked by how King Wind said that bluntly, not covering his mouth.

“You’re acting like a child, Zephyrus. Don’t say that to her.” Raiden balancing his mouth. In one stare, I would think that Raiden was the oldest because of his maturity.

Hali moved closer to me. “Look at my eyes, Fira.”

I stared at his eyes with full confusion in my face. “Yes, your majesty?”

“You need to fight. No matter what.” Hali held my shoulders. “You need to kill if necessary. In this world, the fighter is the only survivor.”

His words gave strength to my whole system. My smooth stare became glare with determination.

Is this the time that I will say that I can fight for my loved ones?

“You love him. Maybe you don't realize, but it’s in your heart.” Raiden interrupted. He nodded to me saying that he would support me in all ways to my battle.

“See you at 10 pm. At the Riverside,” Hali said in a low tone.

“Why are you doing this, your majesty?”

“Hali. That’s my name.” He did not answer my question. He just turned his back instead.

Zephyrus went in front of me. “The predictor said that there will be a lot of people who will die if the Alpha King of Fire married the wrong Queen.”

I shook my head. It took me a second to absorb what he was putting into my mind. “I’m not a queen.”

“Yes, but you can be a queen in Pyro’s heart.”

“You can be a Queen of Omega.” Colden walked towards us.

“There's been no queen since the 90's, but I read in the book that there will be a possibility the Elemental Kingdom would have a Princess of Omega and then eventually be labeled up into a Queen.” Raiden gave us the full information. ‘When you marry one of the kings.”

I was startled. “So...it’s not true that the Omega can’t move up in rank?” Since I was young that was the only knowledge in my head even my mother did not know about it. I was grateful that Raiden had full access to the Elemental KIngdom data, files and books. “Since I saw you with Pyro, I studied about the situation. It was not true that I was getting anything easy for the two of you. I was just doing this to help you.”

“Then…” I looked at my side and then my eyes went back to Raiden. “How can I be an Omega Princess?”

“Be a fighter. Next year would be the Anniversary Celebration of the Elemental Kingdom. That’s the 500th Anniversary. That would be your chance. The Kingdom would have a game for the Battle of the True Queen. If you win, you will be the Queen.” Raiden continued the explanation.

I was surprised. It took me another blow of air as I responded. “How does it work?”

“Kill your fellow players. One can only survive.”

My jaw literally dropped. “I can’t do that.”

“That’s the rule. They’ll not force everyone to join. When they decided to be part of it. They’ll be expecting that they’ll die or survive. Some are greedy in power.” Raiden was so serious as he said that. It seemed that he studied it so hard. “Don’t worry. Hali will train you.”

“And Hali will break your bones until you die.” Zephyrus was grinning teasingly. I knew that was just a joke, but half of it was true. “I'll bring you the best medicine for muscle pain.” He laughed again as if that was the only thing that he could help me with.

“Fira, don’t say this to King Fire. The training will be so difficult. Hali will not promise not to hurt you.” Colden added as he raised his two fingers, gesturing a peace sign. “Advance sorry for that.”

"That's Plan A," Raiden seriously said.

"Crap! So there's still Plan B?"
