The hall erupted into gasps and whispers. Valtor? Sophia's heart sank to the bottom. The kingdom rumored to be ruled by a ruthless king. And to top it all, the prince she's to get married to is the famous prince Erik who's rumored to be a tyrant.
The king continued "Prince Erik's father, king kael seeks this alliance to bring peace between the human realm and the vampire realm. The marriage will take ace in three weeks".
Sophia felt a wave of shock wash over her. She glanced around, catching Liam's gaze on her. He looked like the life has been drained out of him.
