As soon as I got home I sat on my bed and started to go through all of the proposals again. Denied, denied, denied. This was a waste of my time. I wouldn't be approving any of these unless I was okay with a war breaking out. All dark Gods were asking for things that could harm other Gods. I didn't fight for peace just to go right back to pain and suffering.
I was basically done going through all of the proposals again when there was a knock on the door. Before I could say anything my dad came barging in, along with THE GOD OF WAR. I couldn't believe this. I thought I would have more time. Well I guess not.
"Hey daddy did you need something?" I tried asking with my sweetest voice. He was not having it though.
"What is this I hear about you not taking your responsibilities seriously? You will be taking over for me as soon as you marry. I expect more. Not listening during the meeting is one thing; Denying all of luther's allies proposals is another. Do you know how fragile this truce is? Luther may be civil now but he's still the God of darkness and he will only take so much."
I had to stop this. "I know daddy. Im sorry but if you seen some of the things requested you would understand." I hurried up and grabbed the proposals. "look" I said handing him them. The proposals were horrible. I could give Gods more power and advance their magic but that was only for logical reason and was wasn't a good reason.
"The Goddess of Destruction is requesting for me to unblock her magic. That's not allowed. There's rules." I leaned over and looked for another.
I made a pointed look at The God of War while saying "And the God of war requested a sword that could replicate the powers of any God it touches. I can't approve them,"
"You Can And You Will" My dad yelled. "You will not treat your future husband with such disrespect"
It took me a second to recover from being yelled at to fully comprehend what my father just said. HUSBAND. He can't be serious.
"WHAT, No. I can't marry him." I screamed. The God of war was just smiling. He thought this was funny. No
"We are the complete opposite, I refuse." I screamed.
"I don't care, you will be engaged in the coming weeks. you will behave and when he gets down on his knee you will act Happy and say yes." he ordered like this was just normal. I was a Light God. I was not meant to be with a dark God. My past proved that it just didn't work.
"I worked hard for there to be peace. Do you think it just happened? No it didn't we made proposals. and you happened to be something they requested." My father yelled like I was just a piece of cattle ready to be sold to the highest bidder.
I was wounded. I took two steps back bumping into my night stand. "Hh. hh. How can you do this to me. you just sold me out. I'm good, he's evil how can you do this to me." I screamed. Everyone knew how demented and twisted dark Gods were. They were manipulative and would do anything to get what they wanted.
"Lucas promised he would treat you right as long as you act like a dutiful wife. We did a blood oath there's nothing to worry about." He took a step forward but I was too caught up with what he just said to pay attention.
A blood oath. If someone was to break a oath it was dire in order for it to even work you had to get something of great value, and give something of great value. My dad got peace, Lucas got me but what did they agree to give up if they broke it
"Stop you just said blood oath. How could you? what did you agree to give up if you broke it?" I asked. My dad looked guilty. " I said what did you agree to give up? Answer me. If I'm to marry him I deserve to know" I screamed
My dad sighed "Hunny I did this for us, for peace you have to understand." I interrupted him right away he was not going to pacify me "answer the question." I screamed out.
"Peace from The God of darkness and all the gods that don't want peace is a big feat since it's not in their nature. So I agreed that if you don't marry Lucas, The God of darkness will become the new ruler. I'll step down." My dad said with guilt written all over how face.
How could he. How could he use me as a pawn and make it impossible for me to back down. Nomatter what they win. War is almost inevitable. "What did they agree to?" I rushed out. I had to know. My dad sighed. This can't be good. "
If they break the oath and break the peace treaty, our deal will be nullified." He said like I laughed I can't believe this. He really gave up so much for nothing. They could break the peace treaty and all that would happen is I could divorce and then what?
I couldn't believe this he really backed me in a corner. I must look crazy right now. because I feel it. "I have to go. Don't worry I'll play nice daddy dearest," I said sarcastically as I left.
