Damien walked quietly into the king's study and shut the door quietly. he bowed and said "long live my king", Mikail turned around and faced him rolling his eyes "long live you" he said looking at his friend and right hand who remained bowing
"find out who made the attack back at the fourth realm and also .....find a way to explain everything to her including the marriage part" Damien raised his head and looked at him. he sighed deeply and said " it shall be done" and he walked out. the maid in charge of the lady bowed to him and said "she's awake..." but seems she has something to say
"speak"
"well the lady...we locked her in the room. s-she was trying to escape"
Damien sighed and walked back to her room, afterall he has some explaining to do.
he walked into the room where a woman was yelling and kicking widely on the bed, he locked the door after he had sent all the maids out except the head head maid who remained standing at a corner of the room.
"miss.. "he said "please calm down so i can explain the situation of things to you" but she was not having any of that as she jumped off the bed and grabbed his shirt irking his own irritation. "Madam please.....please.. just calm let me explain"
she looked at him for a while and released his shirt. she sat back on the bed and gestured for him to sit on the chair close to it. He sat and began "as you must have noticed from the garden, this is not just the normal Seattle you live in, he paused gauging her expression before he continued " this is the third realm and the part you normal humans live in is called fourth realm. the man that was with us earlier, the one that looked like your late husband?" that got her to raise her head "he is your husband twin brother and as you must have been thinking ,well we are not ordinary humans and he is the king here" he said still looking at her
At first nothing happened, then she began laughing and said " how stupid do i look to you? that you would make such a ridiculous story. my husband is dead and was human and he never said anything about him having a twin brother so cut it out" she scoffed rolling her eyes at the end
"he didn't tell you he was another being because he his allowed to be in that form for as long as he likes but then there many things he didn't tell you as well like him being first level demon who was demoted because of his greed. I'm quiet sure that when you both married, it wasn't in a church neither were any of his family in attendance or am i wrong"
she didn't respond but seems to be thinking about what he said so he continued "miss Leina, i know this is too much for you but you have to understand that you can no longer live in the realm where we picked you, your late husband during the time he was still here, he made certain friends and promised them them... well things which he couldn't give because he was demoted. these friends of his we believe were the one who tried to kill you during the time at the shop so here right now is the safest place, you being with the king is the best option you have right now" he stood up from his chair "i will place my life on the line to serve you as i have served the king"
"whooah what?" she looked at him
gotcha he thought, raising his head "as the tradition of this realm when an older brother dies in the royal family, his immediate brother must marry his …bride, that way she doesn't feel lonely"
her eyes widened "what the fuck are you saying?"
"i am saying, you have to marry your late husband's twin brother"
"y-you said only the royals"
"yes, my lady, your husband came out first out of the womb before the king and whether or not he was demoted he was a royal"
"look" she said rubbing her temple, "look i don't want to be part of this tradition or whatever you're saying, can i just go back home now"
"I afraid you cannot …yet"
"why are you afraid?"
it is only right you are here, my lady but if you really want to go , then you must speak with the king, it is only him that can grant you such request"
"where is he then?" she said standing up
"please mi lady just calm down, he would come see you as he cannot be disturbed now but i will tell you request to see him. so i the mean time Gladys w here will make you as comfortable as you want"
"okay," she shrugged and went to lay back on the bed
Damien looked her suspiciously but kept it to himself, nodding to the head maid, he walked out. when he got to where the king was standing in one of the corridors, he bowed and said "i have explain things to her but she doesn't want to stay as she looked as though she could escape at next opportunity she gets"
"but can she?" Mikail asked chuckling, "tell no one to stop her, let her wander as much as she likes around the castle grounds but do not let her step out of it"
"yes your majesty" Damien left the king Mikail Aldrich of Kartzvels.
