Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 297: Finality

Chapter 297

Jules’ pov

Everyone in the room stiffened, and then they exchanged uneasy expressions. I rolled my eyes a little as the leader of the council members cleared his throat almost awkwardly.

"Your majesty... only yourself and we, the council members are supposed to be allowed to speak here, since it’s- it’s..." he was still speaking when I cut him off.

"Blaze would speak here if he wants to, and nothing’s gonna happen." I said calmly and everyone spluttered.

"He is my mate and I intend to get together with him, officially. I’m not asking for permission right now, I asked for this meeting because I wanted to let you all know about my decision."

Once I was done speaking, I let out a small exhale while his council members began to murmur amongst themselves once again. Behind me, Blaze’s scent sweetened just as his hold around me tightened. He was clearly pleased, like I was when he made that statement to the council members.

"But, your majesty, the throne..." the council leader began again but I waved him off.

"Heirs wouldn’t change the strength of the throne. I can protect it just fine with my powers, and Blaze being with me now, I’m certain no one would dare think of messing with us." I explained slowly and the council members exchanged opinions once again.

"But... what about who’d take over the throne?"

I bit on my lips, unsure of how to respond but Blaze cut everyone off in the next moment.

"Enough!"

It was so quiet that you could cut through it with a knife.

"He is your king and you’ll respect his opinion without asking a bunch of useless questions." Blaze continued, sounding very irritated.

"Mr... Blaze..." the council leader began after clearing his throat, a pinched expression across his pace.

"We aren’t just asking stupid questions, we’re asking important questions here. We’re aides of the king, and as aides, it is our duty to advise the king and give him our opinion in situations like this." He explained tensely.

"Well, you’ve given him enough opinions, it’s enough." Blaze responded sharply and the council member sucked in a deep breath, appearing uneasy before giving a tense nod and returning back to his seat.

"Thank you all for your input, but I’ve made my decision. I’m getting together with my fated mate and that’s final." I said firmly, letting my gaze wander around as I spoke and the council members got on their feet and bowed before a chorus of congratulations went up in the air.

After that; I dismissed them and they all poured out of the throne room except for the council leader who remained behind.

"I’d like to tender an apology, your majesty. I was just doing my duty to the throne. I respect your decisions no matter what." He didn’t sound all that sincere but I didn’t bother to point that out as I accepted the apology as I told him he could leave.

"You old man, keep in mind that we’re yet to have a conversation, one and one. It seems like there are things on your chest you’d like to get off." Blaze called out and the council leader stiffened, instantly paling.

"Ask the guards to ensure that we’re not disturbed." Blaze continued and the council leader awkwardly exited the room, closing the doors after him.

I let out a loud sigh and slumped against Blaze even more.

"That meeting was boring as hell. Is this what you’ve been going through for the past six years?" He asked and I snorted as I slowly turned around over his laps.

"You get used to it." I tell him before kissing his throat and snuggling against him, breathing in his scent deeply.

This throne had always felt too cold and I was always eager to leave it as soon as a meeting was over, but right now, it felt like the warmest and most comfortable place ever.

Blaze kissed my forehead after nudging my head out of his throat, and then he rested our foreheads against each other’s while our eyes bored into each other’s.

As I stared at him right now, I briefly wondered if he was completely fine with the thought of not having kids. As an alpha, and after I spent his rut with him and experienced how intense his urge to breed could be, I just felt like there was no way he’d be fully fine without wanting kids.

But that’s something I couldn’t give him.

The council members had been right. The throne needs an heir, but even if I get together with a woman, I still won’t be able to get her pregnant... so it was a lose/lose situation.

I had long since come to terms with the fact that I’d never be able to father a child, but that was because I also thought I’d end up alone, and I also never imagined that I’d be inheriting the throne while being the youngest child.

But now that I was a king and also with the love of my life, I was realizing that I really might want a child. And the fact that I’d never be able to have that, to have a living and breathing proof of the love I share with Blaze, to have a piece of the two of us in a little being which would mark the start of our family, was beyond saddening if I was being honest.

I mean, why was I created in a way that I’d be unable to father a child and also be unable to carry a child?

Blaze brushed our noses together, pulling me out of my thoughts. His eyes were warm as it bored into mine and I let out a long sigh.

"Blaze?" I called out quietly and he hummed, brushing our noses together again.

"Are you... are you really okay with the fact that I won’t ever be able to give you children?" freёweɓnovel.com
