Hearing all this, Eiana gulped. She felt like crying now. She them took a deep breath and said, " I.. is there no other way? Why.. Why does that stupid king only want to marry me! He could just straight away sign a deal with father and could marry anyone in this earth! Why me?? " She lowered her head down and held it in her hands.
Darius now pinched the space between his brows and sighed. 'Of course, for you. Darling. '
" That thing the King knows better, Princess. "
Eiana whined, "Ah... so infuriating! "
But then she heard him say, "But then I won't blame the King too, you are indeed so beautiful. Maybe the most beautiful woman on this Earth. It won't be his fault, if his heart slips. "
On hearing his words, Eiana widened her eyes in disbelief and raised her head with a start to look at him. The next second, her fair face turned a dark shade of red. And she pursed her lips tight.
Though, it was now very dark and no normal human would able to see anything properly, Darius could clearly see her blushing face and he had to bite his lips to prevent himself from chuckling. She looked so cute.
"And maybe because, marriage is the best way to secure the truce. " Eiana coughed and nodded, indicating she understood. They both sat there like that for a long time, then she said, "What is that Vampire marries other human girls from other kingdoms too and make this kind of treaties?"
Darius looked at her surprisedly and said in a slight teasing voice, "Are you already being possessive, milady? " Eiana rolled her eyes and said, "Possessive, my foot! I just don't like men who marry more than one wife." Though, her father had married twice, that is her mother, after the death of the first queen and her brothers's mother. But he didn't keep to queens at once.
Though for the rulers of the empires it is nothing wrong, but she simply didn't like that. If it is so, then the women should also be given the right to marry more than one man at once, instead of keeping her as a property.
And now, when it seems she has to marry that Vampire, she of course had to think of this too.
Darius knew what was going on in his righteous kitten's head and he smiled. Then he said, "Do not worry about that, milady. I have heard that ancient Vampires are one woman man. They can't have more than one wife in their lives. And if it still bothers you, you can just add it in the truce before it is signed. "
Eiana pouted and then looked up at the sky. It seems like she had no option. Eiana then glanced at the streets, which buly now had become less crowed. She had a lot of fun today.
But she also could not forget her responsibility as a royal. She... could not be so selfish and only think of herself. She stayed silent for a long time and then said in a low voice, "Darius... "
"Hm. " He replied.
"Can you... take me back to castle?" She said in a low voice. Darius smiled softly and thought, 'I promise, this is the last time you will get sad or upset due to me. Once you are with me, I will do my best to never let you get upset over any reasons. '
He then stood up and stretched his hands towards her.
She took his hand and stood up and gave him a sweet smile and nodded at him.
