"Maybe I'll just do it anyways and blame it on somebody down in the dungeons." Lucifer spoke although he was getting smacked in the back of the head by his daughter as she seemed to come up out of nowhere, folding her arms across her chest. "You will not be doing that father." Rose spoke after a moment in time, and was just shaking her head a bit before she was giving him a hug.
Sure enough as they were talking about the council members, the real ones were walking towards the group. They seemed almost annoyed with something, although it was a bit hard to tell what. Oh yeah something that they had read in the former king's will. The man had evidently been very adamant about his children getting married. Very adamant. Basically stated that the council would be in control, even while Iris was queen, until she was married.
"So we were looking in the king's will and.... well he has basically stated that both you and your sister are to get married, otherwise you have no real power. We've already talked to Iris about this as well. While she is queen, until she is married she is only queen in name, and you already know it is difficult to go against what has been written." one of the council members spoke. Of course despite that, they weren't going to take power away from them, at least not completely. They were bound by the written words, and would have to make it known that they were in charge, but at the same time they were allowing Iris to act as queen.
"If my son has not married by the time my daughter has become queen, then he shall be stripped of his rank until he has wed." one of the council members spoke and showed Ian the will, although it was clear they were annoyed. Obviously the former king had been a little mad at Ian stepping down as prince, and was in his own way punishing him with this will. A will signed in the presence of the gods, it was like breaking an oath that was made, not a good idea.
