Della looked at Kian who seemed to have lost his patience and looked lost.
She wanted to speak with him but why did her anger get the best of her.
" Did you ask her anything about your wife?". He shot a hard stare at her and she shivered. " I'm just asking if you were interested just like me".
But before he could reply to her, Alvah came through. He looked devastated and Kian could not construe what Alvah was going through after what he heard.
He looked at Della indicating it was her turn to go in. After seeing the look on the faces of the both of them she was starting to think there was a lot more danger than just her marriage.
"Can I sit this out?" She asked them all politely because it didn't look like she could take the hit they were taking.
" What do you mean Della?" Adalyn asked her. Kian understood what her panic was but she had nothing to worry about.
"Hey Della" kian souned back to normal but Alvah wasn't saying a word. " It's alright, no one shares the same faith, yours might be lucky, won't you like to know?" He sounded promising but Della knew that if it wasn't Kian that was her husband she would lose it.
She took the bold step walking in. It looked like Neevan was in tears. When Della crossed eyes with her, she wiped her tears quickly. Her weeping was because she had seen the faith of her long lost home and if Alvah doesn't make it, they would be destroyed.
" Are you alright?" Della asked her genuinely concerned. " I am fine my child, please have a sit "
Della reasoned out that Alvah was just here, was his story tragic enough to make this woman cry. She looked outside as if looking for Alvah. Was that why he was silent. Her face was filled with questions but she was distracted when she heard Neevans voice.
" Pretty girl, what brings a lady like you here?" She asked with a smile on her face.
" To be honest with you I'm just here to know about my future husband. I know I sound Soo straight to the point but it's all that matters to me"
Della looked dull and dejected and Neevan only wondered why.
" Child why are you sad then?. You look more bothered beyond just this".
" I need a husband before the year runs out and I'm running out of time ". She sounded desperate
" But why is that?. Is someone forcing you?". She was worried for the little girl.
" I will be forced but I ran away and was brought here. They told me if I knew the name of my suitor and where he is, it would be a lot easier for me"
" Which is correct yes, so why panic any further?".
" Because I want it to be someone in particular" her desperate cry was heard. " Although it's like a rush marriage I want it to be with someone I can be safe around, with someone I don't have to worry anymore..."
" Worry not child, I already see you in the place that is Soo far from where you were born". Della had a glint of smile on her face
" Prince Killian " Neevan said to her with a bright smile but frown appeared on Della's face and Neevan could only wonder what exactly was this girl looking for.
" It isn't Kian?" she said with a pained and hurt voice. Neevans face went pale. " Who is Kian?". Oh no who has this girl met that wants to ruin her life for her.
" Child, I am telling you, the husband, your husband is Prince Killian of the Fire District what more are you looking for?" What could someone have asked for, what is greater than getting married to a Prince. Someone that would bring her to worry no more and take care of all her needs.
" You said you want someone who would love you and you won't have to worry anymore, Prince Killian is the man for you" Neevan repeated again.
" No he's not" she almost yelled but her voice failed her. This wasn't what she wanted to hear.
"Perhaps have you met him before, any wrong encounter between the both of you?". She could be rejecting him because one way or another she had met with Prince Killian in the past and things went wrong.
" Listen I can talk to him on your behalf, he was just..." Neevan intended to speak with Killian on her behalf. He may not have gone far and seeing that the same day the both of them requested for their partners name. Hers was faster than Killian's
" No no thank you " she was already leaving.
" Won't you like to know more little child, your husband is the prince " she murmured moving closer to her. " The queen of the fire district, won't you like to know about this district?". Maybe a few words to lighten her could help but it didn't work.
Della did not look interested. How would she carry such weight on her shoulder with the prince that she hadn't even conversed with in a lifetime. But she didn't care, afterall she wants to be with Kian but it doesn't look like Kian wants to be with her anyways.
She cleaned her tears and took her leave when the curtains opened widely and Adalyn ran in.
Kian had sent her to eavesdrop on their conversation to hear the name of her suitor.
When Della came out she had tears in her eyes. " Della" Alvah and Kian both called her name but she looked at Kian in the eye with a hard glare.
He had had enough of that look today. " What's your suitors name?" He looked Soo intrigued to know who her suitor was.
To shove me away for good aren't you happy Kian. She thought darkly to herself
" It definitely isn't you" she replied blanky at him. " Happy?"
" Happy?, what'd you mean, what's his name then?" Kian was still eager to know
" It isn't you don't you freaking get it". She yelled at him. "It's not me so who's the person?". He asked again desperately.
" It seems you were just interested in this suitor more than me" she murmured to herself but no one heard her.
" Della do you like Kian?" Alvah asked her plainly. Kian did not want this to happen this way. If he knew the name of her suitor it would be best to know who exactly because Kian was not his real name and he was eager to know.
She didn't give an answer but kept giving him a death glare. Kian had no time for this so he left to the district.
"where are you going?" Alvah asked but Kian hurriedly left the place.
" Kian!" Alvah shouted his name furiously.
" Little girl what are you doing here?" Neevan asked acting all cute because of the little girl. " I want to know the name of my sister's suitor" she said to the woman looking up to her pointing outside.
Neevan picked her up and rubbed her nose against hers and she said " your sister is getting married to a Prince, Prince Killian is his name, isn't it a fairytale"
" A Prince ?! That means my sister can stop crying at night now?". She said happily. " Yesss " Neevan agreed "but first your sister didn't take the news well so go tell her again dear".
She put her down and Adalyn bade her bye and Neevan waved cutely. She took in a deep breath after having guests after guests.
" Where is Adalyn?" Alvah asked looking around when adalyn ran out.
He caught her and lifter her up. " Sister is getting married to a Prince, isn't that wonderful?" She asked Alvah happily and giggling.
" A Prince?" He repeated looking at Della whose face was down and sobbing. " Did you want it to be kian?"
So far from her judgement Alvah was the only one that really understands her even interprets her emotions faster.
She walked to him and her hugged her like a big brother would. " I don't think Kian likes me". She said sobbing onto his shirt.
" Okay, stop crying". She wiped her tears looking at him. " Let's go get Kian then". He said consolingly.
" The fool left here without a reason". Alvah cursed. " He left this paper with me, he said you would understand it since you're a traveler" she explained to him
" A traveler?!?!" Alvah was amused by what Kian really thinks of him
