Private Chambers In Roosevolt Kingdom
In the huge and spacious room in the Kingdom, A huge chandelier was placed in the middle of the roof whose bright glow reflected in the whole chambers. A recliner shaped to form a throne was seated by a muscular and bulky figure. His long fingers shone with the several diamonds he wore on them, A crown well embedded with rare gemstones, several shining jewelry and a huge sword engraved with intricate design and an azure colored stone shone in the middle of the rain-guard of the sword.
"Your majesty, These are rare and scarce gemstones and jewelry our kingdom is prominent for. The sword presented here is believed to be one of the best found here, with its razor-sharped tips, exceptional balance and meticulous details. These are some small presents we would like to offer as a thanks for your help in our military." said King Rory of the Liliac kingdom in a civil tone.
Alexander had a cunning look on his face with raised eyebrows he asked, "What's for the hurry, King Rory?! Let us first have some man -to -man talks. These Kingdom matters can be taken care of after some time." King Rory had a puzzled look on his face, but he still complied with his demands. "So, King Rory Let us first talk about heirs, Have you thought about who's gonna be the next heir of your kingdom?" asked Alexander slyly. Rory felt as if a pleasant chord was stringed in his heart. With a nostalgic tone, he blabbered "My only kid, My Lance. Oh such a capable man he is, He's gonna be crowned soon as the next heir. I would like to personally sent a invite to you for the ceremony soon."
"Oh! Sure Sure why not! So you just have one child, and what about a daughter?" asked Alexander as if he knew the answer himself, "I don't have a blood daughter Your Majesty, but I do have someone who loves and respects me like her father"
Without taking in account of the devious look that appeared on King Alexander's face, he rambled on "You should know your majesty, she is such a beauty with brains. She maybe sweet and childish by heart by her understanding and sensibility sometimes even astonishes me. She is the most precious and exquisite flower of my estate."
"Hmm, I'm quite astonished that such a girl still exists. What did you say her name was again?" asked King Alexander, "Rose, her name is rose."
"Hmm, So I want your Rose's hand in marriage for my son." said Alexander with a conniving tone. King Rory was perplexed "But your majesty, didn't your son already had a grand wedding few days ago?!" "I'm not talking about my younger son, I'm talking about Lazarus, The King of this Kingdom."
There was an horrified expression on King Rory's face. Having his delicate rose as the bride of the dark lord would be throwing her in the pit of fire. That innocent child would be crumbled to pieces in this kingdom. The rumors about the people of this kingdom and especially The dark lord's ruthlessness were not completely false.
As if sensing his thoughts on cue, King Alexander spoke up, "You don't have to worry about her once she steps into this kingdom as the bride of the King, she'll be treated as a queen with utmost respect and authority. As a queen of the Roosevolt Kingdom, Her life would be tenfold better than it would be if she marry to any commoner. Don't you agree?!" Seeing the unconvinced look on Rory's face, Alexander felt agitated, "Are you sure right now, I guess you are not unknown to the power of Roosevolt's military, Just having our support is enough for you to win the whole battle and you are having second thoughts just to give me a bride for my son?!" he snapped.
"Forgive me for my indecency, but that girl is just nineteen, i don't think-" his words were cut off by Alexander's harsh tone, "Any support from Roosevolt would be provided only when we have that girl as my son's bride in this kingdom." "But Your majesty, Your father King Odin promised to help us in need for the favor he owed-" he pleaded.
"Are you demanding us to repay the favor?!!" he shouted. "Do you want my son to know about how you refuse to my demands?! Moreover, the support from Roosevolt military itself is a big favor the kingdom is doing for you. Now I request you to take your leave and think about it. When you are ready, you will get our help but my demands should be accomplished." He stood up, left the chambers leaving no room for negotiation.
Raising his bowed head, Rory slumped into his seat. Pressing his hand on his head, he thought about the ways to get out from this deal, but there seemed none.
How would he ask his most trusted general to give away his doted daughter for a deal and that too as the bride of the DARK LORD?!!!
If was like a live and death situation for King Rory, He wanted to save his kingdom but he also didn't wanted to destroy her daughter like Rose's life. He didn't wanted to use her to save his kingdom.
After some time he got up, making up his mind.
A single life could never be worth of more than a thousands life.
