"No! I absolutely won't allow it !! " a young man's voice boomed from the room. And it was followed by a scattering noise of breaking a vase.
Gideon, the usually calm and composed first prince was fuming in anger.
"You know what the people say about that Vampire king!! He is a devil in disguise!
I absolutely won't hand over my sister to him for marriage. Even if all the men in this world dies and he is the one one alive, I would still prefer that my sister remains a maiden all her life!!!"
" But Prince Gideon, you have to understand, I also don't want to hand over my beloved daughter to him. And you too know it as clear as I do that if I don't, the kingdom will be ruined sooner or later. There won't be anything but destruction around. "
A man in his mid forties said in a stern tone. Even if he was clearly a middle aged person, his tone had an undeniable authority. And it was absolutely not something that could be underestimated.
King Edward continued, " Moreover.. No one is more reluctant to do this more than me. But I have no other option. "
Just when Gideon was about to retort, his younger brother, Arthur bet him to it, " No.. father, brother is right. Not two, not three, we have only one little sister, and we can never ruin her life with our own hands!
Not to mention, that Vampire king has so many strange and cruel rumors about him around."
" And are you going to ruin your people's lives by your own hands!!! Is this how a prince should think?! As royals, don't you know that the happiness of millions of people should matter to us more than our own? " King Edward lost his patience and yelled, seeing that neither of his sons
were trying to understand his point.
Seeing that their father has lost his temper, both the prince kept silent for some time. They did understand the severity of the situation but...
Gideon slowly said, " But father, there must be an alternative option, right! We can compromise with that Vampire king, may be, he can make some other requests? "
King Edward released a sigh and said, " No.. I have tried many things to make him change his opinion , but he is too adamant about marrying Eiana. "
" I understand father."
" Yes, father I agree too, but he.. "
...
Eiana's face now was as pale as a sheet. She can longer hear what else they were talking.
She couldn't believe that he father and brothers are going to marry her off without even asking for her opinion. Does her opinion not matter to them at all?
No.. . What's worst is that her husband is that infamous scary Vampire King!!
She walked absentmindedly back to her chamber.
She always thought that one of the biggest enemies the human's had were the vampires. They suck human blood and kill them. To them, humans are not more than merry food.
They.. are too scary.
She was so absent that she didn't even reply to the guards of the king's quarters and the princess' quarters who greeted her, like she usually did with wide smiles on her face.
The guards looked at her worriedly. What happened to the princess? She looks sick and worried about some thing.
When she reached her chamber, Her ladies in waiting, Seryn and Elyn were waiting for her.
When they saw their princess return, they immediately smiled and greeted her and then rained her with questions.
" Princess, did His majesty allow you? "
" Oh, ofcourse. Is it even a question to ask, after all, milady is his precious.. Hehe. "
" Oh yes, so milady, what will you wear for tomorrow? I think you need to wear the pants, right! "
" Or what? Do you think, she wants to expose her dainty smooth legs by wearing a skirt during horse riding!"
" Hey.. Elyn.. stop taunting me okay "
" It's your fault.. " Seryn retorted.
Elyn was about to retort when..
" I am tired. I want a bath. " Eiana said in a low voice.
Seryn and Elyn quietened down their bickering in an instant.
" Roger princess. I will order the maids now, the bath will be ready soon. " Elyn smiled and said and went to order the maids to prepare the bath.
Seryn went to Eiana and said, "Come milady, let me help you with the dress and jewelries. "
...
As Eiana soaked herself in the scented bath, she felt her mind clearing up. As did get a huge shock and heart break hearing her father's decision. So, now she properly thought about her situation.
And the more she thought, the more she got upset with her father and her brothers.
