Prisoner of a Vampire 2
(Jealousy and Anger... Love and Admiration)
Frank laughed scornfully: "And what if you're wrong?!"
Emilia: "You know very well that my deductions are never wrong! But to prove my point, we will wait these three days. You know their attacks are always at midnight. If our spy reports that the Tribe of Thid has been destroyed, we will prepare ourselves!"
John: "I trust you, my daughter." He looked at the rest of the council members. "Do you agree with me?" They discussed among themselves and whispered until they agreed. Meanwhile, Frank looked at her with jealousy and anger, while Freddy watched her with admiration and affection.
She left the council room, happy. As she was walking, someone pulled her into a corner.
Emilia: "Freddy! You scared me!"
Freddy: "Where do you get such intelligence from?"
Emilia: "Do you think my deduction is correct?"
Freddy: "Yes, and by the way, I want to tell you something."
She sighed and said: "If you're going to propose to me again, you know my answer!"
Freddy: "Oh, wow. This is the ninth time this month. I was going to, but not now. I will ask for your hand after we win this war..."
She shook her head and placed her hand on his cheek: "You know my answer! I love you as a close friend, nothing more... Goodbye, see you later!" She watched him as she walked away. He thought: "How long will you keep rejecting me..."
She knocked on the door, and her father allowed her in.
Emilia: "Father, can I get information about the enemy army?"
He looked at her angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to talk about this? I can't tell you anything!"
Emilia (pleading): "But Father, this would help me in devising the defensive plan."
John (coldly): "You speak as if you will be participating in the war."
Emilia: "But I will participate! I am skilled with a sword and—"
He interrupted her: "You will not participate in the war. We need your intelligence and observational skills. We need you intact!" The discussion ended. "Now go to your proper place, in your room among the papers and pens!"
She sighed and left. As she walked, muttering unintelligibly, she bumped into Frank.
Frank: "Has your intelligence blinded you?"
Emilia: "You're the one who appeared out of nowhere!"
Frank: "Fine, go. I'm not free for your nonsense. I still can't understand how you're in the council as a girl! I mean... you're a girl, and what a girl should do is get married, have children, and take care of them, her husband, and her home. Why don't you agree to marry Freddy?"
She looked at him angrily: "That disgusting thinking is yours alone. Don't talk like an old man!"
