The king of vanaheim was momentarily stunned by the whirlpool of information that was dumped on him . He could not beleive that his daughter was having a kind-of love affair with someone and he was in the dark about it.
When he looked at his daughter , he saw happiness and eagerness in her eyes , an emotion that she had not displayed ever since her mother had passed away early in her childhood , and somehow he felt that he was powerless infront of those eyes.
He was sure that Ruby loved the newly crowned king , and although he was not from the elven race , his strong association with the Church as well as his heroics in his own kingdom , did make a strong case for his credentials.
Nevertheless , He would have rejected this marriage had Rudra not been a king , as just like Rudra said in his own speech , a princess can only be wed in as a queen and nothing less!
