((message me back))
"I am your aunt your father always loved to have his sisters advice and I hope you'll take it as well." the woman smiled and stepped forward. 'I am Lady Adella I am lady of the next fief over and Princess of this kingdom or I use to be anyways." she chuckled.

Joseph stood up, and walked towards her. "I don't know what it's like to be a king....so bear in mind when I do this."he said, and hugged her. Adella and Lori would notice he was crying, overjoyed to know he still had family.

Adella hugged him back tightly glad he was alright he was alright as well. "Hush little one your safe know." she squeezed him gentle "With me you are allowed to hug no one else but your future children and wife.'

"Heh, I doubt I'll find a woman as good as one, but she doesn't share my affections. I just want to rule my kingdom properly, and repair the damage that was done by the traitor."he said

"You will need to marry whether or not you love the woman. It would help if her country is strong but as long as she can bare you a son and is a noble." Adella shrugged. "Let's begin." She sat him down with the others and began to discuss the kingdom.

Joseph listened intently, writing down everything, and anything heard.

((*Attacks* Hi))
Bell snuck away to a chair where she stayed in case she was needed.

(Hello)

Joseph glanced at her every now and again, but kept focusing on his notes before he lost focus.

Bell managed to doze off before a maid hurried into the making her wake with a start when she let the door slam shut. She groaned but took the tea waiting the girl handed everyone tea then took a sip of tea they watched her then with nods they began to drink and continue chatting.

((How are you?))

(Sleepy. You?)

Joseph finished everything up, and looked at Adelia. "Auntie, how did my parents meet?"

((I don't want to go for work bleh but other then being in slight pain I'm lonely.))
Adella blinked then smirked. "It was at a ball I had been your mothers friend for a while and I managed to talk him into going. They were all ready assigned to be married but they had never seen each other. They danced decided they could stand each other the next year they were married an then you came along." She pinched his cheek. "They never loved each other but they loved you."

(Wish I could go for you)

"I want to be with the woman I love...sappy as it may sound, but I don't want to marry, just to have kids."he said. " what....how did I survive? What happened?"

((I need the money though))
''I saved you, you were in your room and I gave you to a maid when he attacked making sure she got you safely away before I went my own way." Adelle shrugged.

"Then that's twice I owe you my life, a debt I won't be able to repay: thank you." he said.

"Your my one and only nephew you don't owe me anything." Adelle smiled at her. "Lets take a break." she signaled to the others and they left."

((Want to message me so we can talk?))

(Sure.)

"That sounds nice."he said, pulling out a basket, and putting the scrolls down in them.

"We have just broken the ice on your work." Adelle chuckled darkly. "You must know how to greet ever royal, duchess, duke, knight etc and so forth. You must learn there are limits to what you can do. How you should act with the common folk and the best way to answer there pleas for help." She sat back down. "How to dress, how to eat, we must pick your war minister who will also act as your body guard, you should meet the people starting with those in the castle. I will gift you a horse for your coronation. We should also prepare for that and send for the princess you are promised to."

"Don't like the sound of an arranged marriage, but I can only hope for the best. Thank you, Auntie."he said. He put on the best garb he had, which still allowed for great flexibility. He then looked at the crown. "Am I really ready for this?"he asked.

"We can work on you but the longer it remains unclaimed the more challenges you'll have. We can crown you in the morning when the princess arrives." She stood and stretched. "Goodnight you highness." She curtsied and left. "I should be going home...can I stay here for the night your highness?" Bell asked.

"You're welcome to stay, Lady Bell. "he said, looking at the crown, and placing it on a bust.

"Thank you highness." Bell curtsied before leaving to follow the maid who lead her to her room for the night. "She settled in and fell asleep quickly.

Joseph took a nearby bottle of aged wine, and went out to the Balcony, looking out at the vast kingdom before him. Pouring himself a glass, he leaned back, taking in the sights before him. "I have a lot of work ahead of me...."he said.

It was all to soon when the bustling noise of the servants and people woke Bell. She yawned and got up summoning the maid that had been leant to her by Josephs aunt. She dress in a soft rose pink dress styling her hair in loose curls she then walked out into the hallway blinking at all the fuss.

Joseph grumbled, fitting on his 'Chosen outfit for the day. "I can't believe I'm doing this...I mean, marriage? what the hell?...."he said. He took the crown of the bust, and fitted it on his head. "Goddess Ava, guide me..."he said.

A girl his age was waiting in the throne room dress in a simple gold dress the priest was waiting to crown him and then marry him to the young girl who looked nervous. "You majesty please step forward and claim your crown." His aunt took the crown from his head and held it till he was officially crowned.
