Chapter 7 - The princess?

"Your majesty, the werewolves are attacking us now" the guard whispered in the king ears, the king knew that valet was back in the business, he would not stop until he gets what he wants.

The armies hurriedly began to attack but most of them were held down by the werewolves.

"Kill all of them!" Valet yelled as he went after the king again, he seized his neck tightly just like he did yesterday.

"No, d-don't the king stuttered as he held his neck in pain, valet grip tightened again and the king choked.

"Don't right?, if you don't want all these people head right in front of you, you will accede to my request" Valet said as he tightened his hold again.

"O-o-ka.y" the king stuttered his nose was bleeding profusely.

"The princess would get married to me tommorow" Valet said and the king eyes widened, his daughter?, Fiona?.

"Yes you are right" Valet said as he read his mind at that moment, his grip tightened again, he wanted the king to accede his request quickly and he should stop wasting his time..

"O-okay" The king said as he stuttered, valet threw him across the room.

"I am coming tomorrow to get her, if you don't hand her over to me, you are all dead" Valet said as the mad dogs went out with their prince.

"Your majesty" the general said as he rushed to help the king up.

"You can't give out our princess, you can't your majesty" They all said as they bowed thier heads.

"Did you all want to die?, you have families, friends, son and daughters at home, are you ready to lose them?" the king asked almost yelling at them, he of course doesn't want to give out his daughter but he couldn't sacrifice his whole kingdom because of his selfish reasons, the werewolves were more stronger than them and vampires could get annihilated easily.

"Your majesty, we need to look for a solution to this, we can't give princess Fiona to that evil valet" one of them said and the others nodded affirmatively.

The king waved his hands and they all went away, he needed to think about this, valet seriously meant what he said but why would he want the princess?, why would he want Fiona?.

He went to sit on his throne as he started spacing out. He sent for Fiona and she came to meet him afterwards.

"You are getting married to valet tommorow" The king informed her and fiona's.eyes widened, what!, valet?, her?, 'no this isn't happening' she thought.

"I am not marrying that man" She said loudly and the king glared at her, she would marry him if she liked it or not, he couldn't sacrifice his whole kingdom for his daughter's sake.

"Yes you are, get prepared, you would be leaving.with him tommorow" The king said and tears clouded Fiona's eyes, was her father really going to give her out to those mad dogs.

"Father, you can't do this to me, you don't want me to die do you?" Fiona asked, marrying valet was like death to her and she wasn't ready to die soon.

"Look Fiona, I don't want this to happen either, you get married to valet and end this war once and for all or you lose everyone you love" The king said, Fiona looked stunned for a while, she would be used to settle their dispute?, she would marry valet?. No, she can't take that.

"Father, isn't there another way, you can't give me out to him" Fiona said trying to make sense out of everything, marring that evil prince who was a blood luster, very cruel and hostile not caring about anyone at all, she would surely die if she becomes his wife.

"What way do you think there is?, there is no other way than you marrying valet tommorow" The king declared.

Fiona thought about Jen for a while, that way she would be able to find her parents, also she knows how to act like a princess because they were so close, but Fiona couldn't believe that she was about to betray Jen and also Jen doesn't know anything about love or marriage.

"Father, we have a close substitute for me, she's my maid Jen" Fiona said, she was feeling abashed that she just betrayed her friend, she couldn't marry valet and now she said Jen should marry him. Fiona shook her head, she was the worst friend ever, but she couldn't marry valet either.

"Who is Jen?" the king asked, Fiona has a lot of maids so it was impossible to know all of their names.

"My maid father, she is very good and she could act like a princess, you can marry her to valet instead of me" Fiona said and the king seem to be in deep thought, he couldn't lose his daughter to that evil man, marrying Jen to him wouldn't be a bad idea.

"But father, she doesn't know anything about love or marriage" Fiona said and the king scoffed.

"Love?, her husband would teach her that" the king said as he sent Fiona away, he has made up his mind, since Jen was very close to Fiona she is the suitable option on the case, he couldn't give his daughter to the mad wolf at all.

.....

Fiona sent for Jen and when their eyes met Fiona couldn't help but look down, she was an evil person for giving out her friend to a dark man.

"Jen, you are getting married tommorow" Fiona said.

"What's a marriage?" Jen asked, she has never heard the word before and now she was getting married.

"It's like a sacred bond that connects two people in love for a lifetime, if you get married to someone you are spending the rest of your lives with him" Fiona explained, she knew this was going to be hard for someone as ignorant as Jen.

"What's a love?" she asked, she wasn't getting anything that Fiona was saying.
