"How could you say such things about your own brother" Elaine asked in anger while the princess smirked
"I know who the monster is here already, and a monster is that in front of me" she said looking at the now angry princess across her in challenging anger
"Um, dear why don't you go and rest. You must be tired after your long journey" the crown Prince's wife said calmly to Elaine
Elaine calmed down and looked at her husband, he was looking at her with a proud smile on his face. And his smile calmed Elaine down completely
The crown prince who was looking at Elaine with admiration suddenly changed his expression and emitted a dark aura after noticing how she looked at Alexander lovingly.
"I think I and my wife should leave now, thanks for hosting us" Alexander said to them with a smirk plastered on his face as he helped Elaine off her seat and out the dining
All his life, no one had ever stood up for him. His brothers always teased him and made fun of him so he stopped joining them in the dinning.
He was surprised when he saw Elaine standing up for him and protecting him from their insults and that's why he remained silent and watched her in satisfaction
After the newly wedded couple left the dining the eldest of the twin princesses said in anger
"She just got here and she wants to make an enemy" she said displeased
"Princess Victoria, she's-" the crown Prince's wife tried to defend her but got cut off
"She's nothing!, But a little ant I need to trample on" the youngest said in anger
"Victory" the crown Prince's cold voice said in anger
"Victoria and victory, if I see as much as a scar on her, I will become your worst nightmare" the crown prince said in a challenging tone
"May I take my leave now" the crown Prince's wife said but got no reply so she just walked out on them
Meanwhile*************************
Elaine and Alexander got to his quarters and a few maids stopped their way
"What is it" Alex asked coldly
"Your highness, we would like to get her highness dressed" they stuttered in unison
'dressed' Elaine thought in confusion before realization hit her hard and her heartbeat sped up
As if sensing the now tensed Elaine, Alex turned and looked at her
"Do you wish to go with them" he asked calmly
"Yes your highness" she said calmly and left with the maids while Alex went straight into his room
The maids took her to her separate room and gave her a slight tour . They lastly took her to the bathroom and helped her take a bath.
After the bath Elaine suddenly felt stronger and more energized
She sat in front of the mirror, dressed in a red night gown that seemed to be lingerie and watched them brush her hair.
"What exactly did you put in the water, I feel so refreshed" she asked"Your highness, it's a herb that would help reduce the pain" they answered sincerely
"What" she finally understood, she had to consummate her marriage with prince Alexander and now her heartbeat that had calmed down after the shower sudden sped up
They took her to the prince's slightly lit huge bedroom and she looked around a bit
The curtains were dangling due to the wind and it made the room look so.....
Elaine diverted her attention to the bed, the huge king sized bed where she had to consummate her marriage with Alex
She stared at the side table and saw the wine on it
'perfect' she thought
"Um, you may leave now" she sent the maids away and they bowed before exiting the room
Elaine walked over to the table and poured wine into the two glasses with mischieve in her eyes. She arranged the room to look extremely perfect and the aura of the room was so.... Romantic. She looked around once again with a satisfied look then brought out the little bottle she took from her room back in Dystrya and poured it's contents into one of the wine glasses
*************Meanwhile********
Alex had gone out to take a walk and think about his new wife when he bumped into his brother
"Greetings crown Prince" Alex greeted with sarcasm obviously etched on his voice
"Tch" the crown prince tched
"I am here to make a deal with you" the crown prince said calmly
"What" he asked simply
"I will make sure you live a comfortable life when I become king of Alvania, I promise you that I won't cause trobule for you but you will not consummate your marriage with Elaine" he said calmly but seriously
"You are so sure you will become king huh?" Alexander replied nonchalantly while the crown Prince's expression darkned
"Yes I will" he replied slightly aggravated
"Well, am sorry but I have to decline your offer, I don't want to have peace from you, I prefer to fight for it. And Elaine, is mine" Alexander replied
Then he thought to himself
'why do I feel so possessive of her all of a sudden, is it because she stood up for me'
"Why, you like her already" the crown prince asked trying to hide the anger in his voice
"Kevin, you should stick to dealing with civil matters and getting different concubines every day till the truth comes out and not in my personal matters, Elaine is my wife and I shall do as I please with her" Alex replied nonchalantly and turned to leave when Kevin stopped him
"You know why I refuse you to consummate your marriage with her, I promise you if anything happens to her, I will make sure I find a way to kill you" Kevin said
"Isn't that what you have been trying to do all this time" he replied and walked away
"Alex!" Kevin called and he stopped
"My bride is waiting for me" he said and left"
