"What's with her?" Puck commented as he walked beside Thorin, heading back to his room after the bizarre encounter with Princess Lisbeth.
Thorin scoffed. "This much is predictable. King Valentin must be shocked that I uncovered his biggest secret."
From the start, King Valentin's decision to marry his daughter to Thorin had been strange.
Despite their discord with the Asvaldur Empire and the Kingdom of Eira's relatively small size, it was full of prideful vampires.
It was unfathomable that the king of those prideful vampires would want to sacrifice his daughter as a werewolf's bride. Even more baffling was the princess's attempt to reclaim her spot as his bride after he had chosen someone else.
Thorin had thought his request to choose Riona as his bride would be accepted easily since Riona was essentially an outcast, with no one appreciating her presence.
