"father ' Tao Yuan called entering king Cassius chambers."
"What is it ?' king Cassius asked "
"Did you hear the news, Eira my betrothed is about to get married to that formidable prince Derick ' Tao Yuan spat".
"I heard ' king Cassius said calmly, causing yuan to furrow his brow in confusion."
"You heard and you ain't doing anything about it what do you mean father ?' Tao Yuan asked his brow raised in anticipation".
"You no sometimes I wonder if you are my son, princess Eira belongs to the Kieran family her fate was signed even before she came to this world planet earth, so there is no cause for alarms ' king Cassius said with a menacing smile dancing on his lips."
"I have sent a letter to the king of Elyria to be prepared to receive us as we would be paying him a visit ' king Cassius said an evil smile playing on his lips."
"Listening to his father reply and the evil smile on his face Tao Yuan already knew that he doesn't need to panic his father had gotten everything under control and with that thought he smiled dangerously"
"Alright father I would go change into something better ' Tao Yuan said walking away and the king looked at his retreating step and something dangerous gleam in his eyes but it was for a split seconds it came and went immediately"

"Eira ' lady calantha called entering Eira quarters."
"Mother you are here ' Eira smiled embracing her mother "
"Hm' how is your day going? ' Lady calantha asked"
"Fine mother, you are back from your trip ? Eira asked still in her mother embrace."
"Mn' and I heard you would be getting married to the crown prince of Tenebria ' Lady calantha said".
"Oh yes ' Eira replied with a half smile"
"You are not happy ? ' Lady calantha asked but got no reply so she continued."
"From what I heard you made the decision to marry him yourself ' her mother said"
"And ain't regretting it mother ' Eira replied picking on her fingers"
"Her mother smiled and stretched out her hands open".
"Come here silly ' her mother said with a smile and Eira embraced her tight inhaling her cologne"
"You have always been selfless I wish all the best and every good thing life has to offer. I know you don't like vampires and I also know that you never wanted a loveless marriage but I believe you can make this work even if there's no love and there is care and protection then you are good to go, I trust you, you are my daughter and I believe you can make this work ' her mother cooed "
"Mother I have no intention to love a vampire or have children for a vampire I'm only going there to do my work as the crown princess and future queen and not a wife or a mother ' Eira muttered softly."
"For how long would that be you think it that easy, seeing your man or should I say husband in another woman arms, even if you don't love him, you don't hate him either,when you witness such a scene there is a pang in your chest like Asif a poisonous arrow had been stabbed there it's not an easy thing princess,no matter how you feel that it's nothing because it a loveless marriage that because you don't want to accept the fact that you don't like your man in another woman abode it really ache, it's hurt darling especially when you come to accept that you truly do hmm' Lady calantha said softly into Eira ears"
"Do you feel that way too mother? ' Eira asked and there was silence for some minutes before her mother replied"
"If you should ask I would say yes ' lady calantha said"
"It's hurts, before I was jelous but then again I got used to it ' lady calantha said"
"Eira raised her brow not getting what she meant"
"You were jelous but got used to it how, do you mean you got used to being jelous or you got used to the fact that it would always happen no matter what ?' Eira asked titling her head a bit"
Mn'
"Well I got used to the fact that I am not the only one the king got married to, I mean he has the queen he would definitely perform his duty as a husband with her also and myself so none of us would have any reason to feel he treats us differently well to cut the long story short I started seeing it as nothing because it only myself he loves, and cares for the queen since he can't love her back and the mistress are just a fling he consider because they bore him children,so after all and all I'm still the only one who holds his heart so knowing that alone helped me get over it or should I say used to it ' Lady calantha said giggling softly"
!! QUEEN BARBARA IS AT ARRIVAL !!
"The mother and daughter duo both turned their heads to see the queen already walking to them, without wasting a second Eira dashed out of her mother's arms and ran to the queen with a cheerful smile dancing on her lips"
"Mother ! Eira shouted running to the queen to meet her halfway smiling like a kid who was glad that her mother just got her a new teddy."
"Easy Eira ' queen Barbara scolded as Eira crashed unto her with lightened speed"
"Mother I have missed you how are you feeling now,are you better now huh' do you want anything, aish mother you just recovered you are not supposed to be doing anything,why would you leave your chambers you should have just told the maids to let me know you were back already why,do you want to get hurt huh' Eira filled the queen with questions."
"Hey Eira there I'm fine one question at a time please, dear princess ' the queen said with an eyeroll.
