Nodding to her and seeing how her figure was moving away, I opened the door, at first I did not understand why it was so light, but then it dawned on me that on the way to the door I did not turn on the light in my room.
Having given time to get used to my eyes to the light, and with the other hand, feeling the button to turn on the light, I pressed it, blinking a couple of times, I looked at those who were standing at the door in the corridor.
It was Samantha and Cassandra both visibly nervous, cuddling up to each other as I could see they were dressed the same as in the arena. They came here as soon as they came to their senses in the arena?
- Come on in. - Inviting them, I stepped aside, they looked at each other with a nod, they entered my room together.
Looking at their behavior, I couldn't help but imagine how they began to imagine me, a monster? Maybe I was, but not in the way they could think of.
After waiting for them to take off their shoes, I closed the door and led them into the room to the sofas. I could hear Keirin brewing something pleasant to smell, perhaps it would calm the frayed nerves of the princesses. Sitting on one of the sofas, for some reason they stood with their heads down and trembled.
- Sit down, we have something to talk about. - I said more and more annoyed, pointing to the sofa opposite.
Both princesses shuddered but obediently sat down opposite me, avoiding eye contact, they lowered their heads down.
There was an awkward silence, they did not know what to expect from me. I was silent thinking about how to tell them the information. While I was thinking about how to tell them, I heard soft footsteps from the kitchen. Looking that way, I saw Keirin carrying a tray on which there were four mugs from two of them, a pleasant, soothing smell, and two, as I could understand, smelled of plain tea. Walking over to the table, she placed a tray of scented tea directed at Samantha and Cassandra, the latter staring at Keirin.
- Have a drink, you need to calm down, I told Trey not to hurt Samantha too much. - Keirin said irritably looking at me from her gaze, I felt uncomfortable.
Sighing, Keirin sat down next to me, the girls looking at me then at her, they did not understand what was happening before their eyes. The servant sits next to the owner and not only does she scold him, Samantha thought that she saw her older sister by her demeanor, without realizing it, she reached for tea and slowly began to drink.
Seeing her friend's reaction, Cassandra wanted to snatch the tea out of her hand, but seeing that everything was fine with her, she looked at Keirin and me and also slowly took the tea and began to drink without taking her eyes off us. We were silent, allowing the girls to drink tea and calm down for the continuation of the conversation.
- Have you calmed down a bit? Keirin asked looking at the two friends in front of her.
Seeing the nod coming from Samantha and Cassandra, Keirin turned to me to let me know that I could start talking.
- You probably have a lot of questions, but first of all, why did you both come here? - I asked the two princesses, I could guess, but it's better if they say it themselves.
- We have come for the wedding ritual with you. Samantha answered in a low voice.
Wedding ritual? What kind of wedding ritual are they talking about without understanding the meaning of their words, I looked at Keirin, I could see how her face changed, she became more red and from her hands I could understand that she was nervous.
- Trey, do you know how a wedding between noble elves is performed? Keirin asked looking at me.
- No, how can I know? I answered her shaking my head.
Taking a deep breath and placing her hand on her temple, Keirin prepared to explain. She foresaw this headache, but she thought she would have time to tell Trey about it.
- As you know, all light and dark elves have a partner who has been assigned to an elf almost from childhood. - Keirin said, seeing that I nod in agreement with her words, she continued.
- Due to the fact that the blood and talent of the noble elves is higher and stronger, but the fertility was small before, often other nobles kidnapped wives, husbands from other partners to continue their kind and strengthen its strength and talents. Over time, the situation began to stabilize, the royal blood had and has one nuance is the seal or wedding ritual that the partner of the royal person imposes when they first know each other as partners. Once the seal is activated, the royal cannot have a child with other partners, and over time, if the seal is not maintained, the royal will die or fall asleep until her partner returns. - She finished explaining in a serious voice Keirin, but blushing in places from what she said, she looked at me then at the princesses.
- But I don't know how the dark elves do it. Keirin said in a thoughtful voice, looking at Cassandra under her gaze, she began to blush.
- We need to drink the blood of our partner during the first night together, thus we squeak not only our bodies but also the blood. Cassandra stammered and tried not to look at me or Keirin.
Sighing, I began to think about how to get out of this situation, or rather, I had a plan, but the temptation was so high, probably all people dreamed that they had elves in their wives and not ordinary ones, but princesses. Closing my eyes, I tried to drive the foolish thoughts out of my head; there was no point in sealing the two princesses and putting even more hunter's mark on me.
