You guys will be helping the kingdom out in some way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on a minute. You want us to get with some people in the Rose Clan to do chores around the kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, yes. However, there’s a good reason for this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Katra Clan started pouting and let out some grunts in protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re already busy enough. Count me out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too! That sounds boring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoey was the only one who seemed to defend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we should hear him out guys. Think about it: the more we get the public to like us, the more free items we can take from them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this objection, almost everyone was immediately back on board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought of that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince Jacob is a genius!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not why I’m doing this! It’s just to help strengthen the bonds between your fellow nobles and the civilians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bonds that we can use to get free things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yah! I love this plan! When can we start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob slapped himself in the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had Maria send me a list of names of each of the Rose Clan members. I will be assigning you in groups of four. Two of you guys, two of the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoey raised her hand, clearly wanting to get a word out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Zoey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you put me in a group with Serena? She’s like my best friend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, but I’ll be assigning these at random. Serena won’t be the only person you may be fighting alongside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoey frowned but understood enough to not object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, we are going to start later today after the Rose Clan is done in the fields. Any more objections before I continue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Steel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I cut people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob looked at him creeped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... no cutting people allowed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When can I start cutting people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t cut people! Just be normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand once more. Jacob was ready for a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... cutting people is not normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel slowly put his hand down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’m going to start assigning you now. Zoey and Harold, you will be together with Caleb and Abby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoey started to smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abby sounds nice! I can’t wait to meet her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Harold looked like he had been told the worst news of his life. He finally spoke up to speak with Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... I won’t be with Slade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Slade will be with some other group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold seemed thoroughly depressed hearing this and slouched his head. Jacob simply ignored him and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next up, we have Steel and Bo. You guys will be with Jack and Lucy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel raised his hand again. Jacob started getting annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a question about cutting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I chop them just a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No cutting, no chopping, just don’t hurt each other for crying out loud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob heard a voice from the end of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pardon me, but do I have to deactivate my power when I’m with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob assumed it was Bo since he didn’t see anyone else’s lips moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is only fair to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aw man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob’s eye started to twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next we have Gabriel and Mrs. Katra. You guys will be paired with Peter and Cane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel started jumping up and down in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get to be right next to the lady of the house! I mean, I’m not surprised. It’s only expected because I’m just so very-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob ignored him and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next we have Slade and Mr. Katra. You will be with Maria and Emma. After them, we have Maddy and Lee paired with Lidia and Bart. I will be joining this group to make an odd number of five since I would be left out otherwise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maddy’s entire face started sweating while Sydney started nudging her with an elbow. She whispered in her ear so Jacob couldn’t hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now’s your chance if you wanted to take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maddy simply stood still like a statue, refusing to meet anyone’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The final group will be Sydney and Bryce paired with William and Serena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maddy started nudging Syndey back, raising her eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hear that, Sydney? William’s going to be in your group!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sydney grabbed Maddy’s face and shoved her out of her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe I’ve covered everyone. I’ll get these groups sent to Maria so we can get something started today! Does anyone have any last-minute questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoey raised her hand excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we have special team names?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around her started murmuring at the implication. They all loved the idea of having names for their groups, possibly so they could see who had a cooler sounding name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Names? I don’t see why not. That may even help you all connect better by sharing a group name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awesome! I think our team’s name will be Fire Death Bringers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold seemed absolutely disgusted by this notion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you talk with the other members of your team before coming to a decision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll make them like the name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don’t make people do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! I’ll call our team Gabriel and His Wonderful Servants! I love it already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think whatever name Jacob will come up with for us will be perfect for all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our team will be named the Charming Goddess Blondes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bryce interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Syndey? I’m bald...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your names all sound weak and childish! Ours will be Death God Team That Kills Everyone with Gravity. Much more mature and darker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I cut people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos started erupting around the table with people yelling over each other. Jacob’s head felt like it was going to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I’m going to leave now. I’ll send a servant to get you guys when we’re ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-09T04:57:54.052Z",1,"novelbin.me","a39d0a3a2504ffed6fcf8abb564737b7a34ec9e1c38da4e0dd01bb58212cc5c8","will-of-a-prince-chapter-61","will-of-a-prince-chapter-59",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwill-of-a-prince-cover.jpg"]
