And after that, David was crowned the new king.
Sixteen years after the death of king victor and Queen Belinda,
Kind David was indeed a great king, he ruled his kingdom with wisdom even at his young age,
and the kingdom was enjoying prosperity, good leadership and
peace.
The people had no option but to confess to each other that David was indeed their best king ever.
But there was a big problem.
David had totally refused to get married. When the elders couldn’t take it anymore, they fixed a secret meeting with Helen Your majesty, the main reason for our visit is because of the king. We believe it is now the right time for him to get married.
We have allowed him all these years, because he was still a child but his not one anymore.
The king should choose a bride. “What is a king without his queen? ”the elders all said.
Helen who was already tired of talking to David, promised the elders to talk to him and get back to them.
Hours later,
David came in and met Helen seated with her hand on her cheek and could tell she was worried about something.
David hated to see her that way; he would kill anybody who would dare to make her unhappy. “Mom, how are you doing today, have not seen you all day ”David moved closer to her smiling. “Yes my son, I have been with the elders. David I want to ask you something ”
Mom, you know I would do anything to make you happy just mention it, David said sitting close to her
David you are a man now, and not just any man you’
re the king of this kingdom
Don’t you think it is high time for you to get married and have an heir?
Come to think of it, if your father didn’t have you would they have been anyone to keep his name
going?
David please I want you to bring a lady, any lady, I promise I will approve as much as you love her.
David looked at his mom, and smiled before responded to her. Mom, I am sorry, but I don’t want
to get married.
Marriage is just not my thing.
Mum I could adopt children; just tell me how many of them you want in the house,
I promise tomorrow they would be here and then you would take good care of them I can also get
as many nannies as possible to take care of them.
No David, I don’t want you to adopt any child into this home David, I’m talking about your own children you have to understand is not every woman that is
like your mother.
No mom, listen
Every woman I have come across only needs one thing and that is money, and I am not ready to
live an unhappy life, like my father.
I love my life this way David spoke angrily.“David you have to listen to me”
Helen spoke calmly “
I am done listening mom if that is all you have to say to me”
David said and angrily walked out he passed a maid at the door and yelled at her angrily.
Some days later, Princess Lois came to David’s kingdom for a visit, Lois was David’s friend right from child hood,
and their parents had been great friends while Victor was still alive.
When Helen saw Lois, she was so ex
cited, Lois was looking very beautiful, and so Helen concluded her sleepless night about David’s marital status was over.
Helen greeted Lois with a warm smile and a lovely hug. She made sure everything Lois needed
was provided. After Lois was done freshen up, she came down stairs where Helen and her had dinner and sat discussing as they waited for David.
In the process of waiting for David Helen told Lois how much she loved her as a daughter and pleaded with her to try all she could so David would get married to her.
Lois, who had been looking for an opportunity to get King David attention, was indeed happy to get a confirmation from Helen.
The next day, Helen walked to the Garden and met David sitting; he was reading a news paper.
She smiled at him and sat close to him.
Mum how are you doing today?, David asked Helen giving her all his Attention.
After a long silence between them, Helen decided to break the silence“David don’t you think princess Lois is going to make a good wife”
David who was not shock with the question his mother had ask answered with a big No No mom, she won’t make a good wife I know her more than you do and I can’t marry her Mom I have told so many times that am never going to get married
Ok let say I have not seen the person I wish to get married to, when I see I would let you know,
David said holding his mom’s hand.
David you are the king you need to get a wife, please David if not for anything for my sake and
the sake of the kingdom “Ok mom”
I promise to get married, but not to Lois, and I don’t really have any one in mind for the moment, just give me time, Would you do that for me?
But I can help you out son if you want me to, Helen tried to offer.
I think I want you to because you are the most intelligent woman I know on planet earth, David said
