Chapter 54
I got up very early in the morning with the hope that everything would go differently today, I got ready early to meet breakfast with everyone else.
I got to the dining room to have breakfast and to my shock I found the Lucan emperor sitting right next to my brother.
Knowing the reason for his presence I neglected eye contact with him and courtesied before having a sit next to Vivian.
The room was so silent all through the meal until emperor Galdier broke the silence.
As you already know, Eldar here as come as a suitor to you, which brings about the reason am here "He uttered".
I know "I replied".
I would love for the both of you to get married as soon as possible and if possible, you want to have it today, I could make the arrangements right here right now "he ended".
Hell no "I whispered trying to compose myself".
I don't think there is anything wrong in having the ceremony tomorrow "Eldar objected and gave me a flirty wink".
"Not, I certainly despair of his decision" I yelled unknowingly standing to my feet.
Iris "my brother said giving me a disappointed look".
I have had enough of all this and just so you know, Lexar already asked for my hand during our last encounter with each other.
A loud gasp escaped the room after my allegation.
Such insult from you princess Iris "the emperor uttered furiously pointing towards me as he planned to take an exit out of the room".
Eldar sat stunned by the whole situation.
Clinton stood from his chair in rage as he ordered Vivian to take me to my room.
I knew my words could bring about war but I couldn't keep myself composed any longer after hearing his offensive statement.
Lexar proposed to you and I didn't know about it, why would you keep such news from me "Vivian questioned after slamming the door behind me".
I am sorry but I didn't get the chance, ever since I returned from Bulgaria I had just been blurred from my thoughts.
I could understand how you feel Iris "Vivian replied thoughtfully".
Seconds later a knock was placed on my room door and to my surprise, it was Eldar that stood behind the door.
Can I come in "he asked". Yes, you can but make it quick "I replied with an eye roll".
I am sure you might be wondering why am still here after what happened in the dining room "he started"
I admired the way you stood up to my father like that not even your brother the king of Philadelphia could have done what you did.
Get to the point "I said in boredom".
I came to confess something to you, I didn't intend to marry you I was just following my father's orders but after seeing you stand up to him like that. I was so inspired that I made up my mind to confront him against his proclamation.
As exciting as that sounds, I still felt saddened that he was just proposing to marry me as a way of following his father's orders.
Like that he left after passing his words through.
A while after he had left, some maids came to call Vivian and me to the courtroom.
We both went straight to the room without hesitation.
Firstly, I would like to apologize to Iris for putting my say before hers "Clinton apologized after our arrival".
There is no need for that, I know you were just trying to fulfill our parent's wish "I returned".
Secondly, the emperor as agreed to give rational support to our kingdom in every way.
How did you manage to convince him, I asked.
I didn't.
He just turned back about to live on his carriage he told me how impressed he was about your action and he was willing to attend the wedding of you and Lexar "he ended".
He also said power can't overpower love that was his final statement before he left.
Now that all that is out of the way, are you ready to send your approval letter to Lexar so that we can begin the ceremonial arrangements "Clinton asked".
Right now, "I replied feeling so over the moon".
I had never seen her so delighted in years "Clinton whispered into Vivian's hear as I joyfully galloped to the lettering room".
