quaila

It's become clear that Kayla was pregnant, pregnant for none other than one of the 2 sons of the Starion family; experts in the Quaila arts.

Her pregnancy could hardly be concealed, all in the Kingdom knew due to how high ranked the Starion family was in the Kingdom.

For this reason, the head of the Starion family, Palmer, had to call for a meeting.

All the elders, sons and daughters of the Starion family were present in the meeting, including his 2 sons, Miguel and Luca.

It was clear one among these two sons committed this abominable act.

In the Kingdom of Quila, pregnancy before marriage, especially amongst the heirs to apical families is highly prohibited, the punishment was banishing.

So the thought on everyone's mind was that one of the 2 sons of Palmer would be Banished on this very day.

The five rulers from each of the Apical families were all welcomed in and we're sitted on their respective chairs.

Gandolf Belimoth, of the Apical family of Healing, head ruler of Helilia and a few of his subordinates, shoulder rulers and children.

James Dutchia, of the Apical family of Precognition, head ruler of Pregillia, also with a few of his subordinates, shoulder rulers, children and granddaughter.

Zed Miner, of the Apical family of Precision, head ruler of Precisia, also with a few of his subordinates and shoulder rulers.

Gregory Peckerman, of the Apical family of Phytokonesis, head ruler of Phytillia, also with a few of his subordinates, shoulder rulers, children and grandchildren.

Timoth Verija, of the Apical family of Strength, head ruler of Sticilia, and his son.

And finally the 2 sons of the Starion family:

Miguel Starion the eldest son; although the most wayward, but was the father's favourite. He barely came around for practice, always in one gambling hall or the other, playing games with friends and flinging around with women; the cry of the poor against him is heard all over the Kingdom. But even with all these things, his father still loves him more.

Luca Starion is the younger son; a very humble and wise young man, usually found amongst the draughtsmen and sparing room, lost only one battle all his years of fighting.

After the introduction and high praising of the guests, all were sitted as they waited for the head of all of Quaila, Palmer.

"All hail the ruler, the greatest, hybrid king, the lion of the Quaila jungle, Lord Palmer of Starion!", The chief praiser spoke as all present, who were at this time on their feet kept their gaze on the throne-like chair in front of the Quaila meeting hall as the old Palmer walked slowly to ascend it.

Timothy Verija who is always reluctant to stand up when ever Lord Palmer is called looked at his son who clapped and cheered like some of the others with a reprimanding look.

Timothy's son, Bejah Verija, immediately kept quiet in shame as he looked down, moving his foot to and fro like one searching for something.

Suddenly, the old Palmer who was still standing in front of the throne-like chair, held unto the other throne-like chair next to him, although not as big as the one he was to sit on, but weighing more than a 250 pounds. Off the ground it went, before everyone's eyes, it flew towards Timothy.

Pow!

Timothy caught it with both his hands as he struggled to put it down.

Silence immediately filled the atmosphere.

All looked in surprise, unable to speak or comprehend what was going on.

The silence was quenched abruptly by Palmer's outrageous laughter.

Timothy who understood why Palmer did this and saw how weak he was compared to this old man said nothing.

A chair weighing over 250 pounds and cemented against the ground, was pulled almost effortlessly by this old man and thrown towards him with so much precision and force that he could barely catch.

Even in his own field the old man is almost twice as strong as he is. How much more adding the rest Quaila abilities.

"Thank you all for coming, be sitted!", Palmer said as he sat down himself.

The 2 sons who had been walking behind Lord Palmer finally walked up to their respective positions.

Miguel sat on his sit, while Luca stood there with an ugly expression looking at his smiling father for his chair was the one throne.

Palmer looked at him with a smile and asked : "what is it?"

"Father my.....", He said looking at the space where the chair was and then at the current position.

"Oh forgive me.....", Palmer said with a sarcastic look pointing to the throne chair with his palm faced up.

Luca looked at the chair and exhaled heavily, then walked towards it while Miguel chuckled.

All waited for the prince like Youngman to get to his chair.

He too picked it up effortlessly and took it back to the position where it was.

"Bring forth girl!", His father said immediately.

And the pregnant Kayla was brought in front of Palmer in a matter of seconds.

"Hmmmmm....", His father added with a smile.

"Why is he smiling?!", The angry Timothy asked silently.

Although Timothy was way worse than Palmer in ability, but he always felt like he would make a better ruler than the old man.

"Boys, do we really need to Judge this?", Palmer asked while Miguel laughed.

Luca clenched his fist as he stared at Kayla.

This was it, everyone at this point could predict the outcome without the help of those with the precognition ability.

This was because although Miguel was promiscuous, and appeared really careless, Luca had only one woman in his life, Kayla.
