"Give me time to decide whether to accept your proposal or not," Alex finally said.
The King and everyone, who all seemed to have been holding their breaths, instantly felt relieved that Alex didn't roar at them and was actually going to really consider this. This was a good sign.
However, Alex was about to stand when Zeke spoke.
"Why don't you choose which of my sisters you would prefer, Alex?" he asked, causing Alex to throw him a sharp gaze which Zeke, of course, ignored. "I think it's better if you choose someone now and decide later if you want to marry her. That would make it easier for my sisters so that they can stop being anxious about whether you might choose them or not."
Zeke's suggestion seemed logical but to Alex, there was another unknown meaning behind it. So Alex could only sigh and do as he said.
He stood up and walked over to them. These ladies were all beauties but none of them could hold a handle against his little lamb.
