Athena kept standing frozen and was too speechless over his blatant words as she didn't expect to hear it from Zave's mouth. Ogling from her body from head to toe, Zave's smirk didn't fade away once he imagined in his mind that how her body would feel under his touch.
Intially he had no intention of visiting this dirty woman before marriage at all. But his cunning mother suggested that if he aimed the throne sincerely, Athena's support would favor his position a lot. After all, every living vampire respected their princess a lot and was bound to consider her spoken words. Somehow if he could make her fall in his honey trap, the path towards his throne would become more smooth.
But this words were unknown to Athena as she never paid attention over Zave at all. The fact that he was the right hand of Queen Mother was enough to disgust him till death. Unfortunately she had no way out rather than agreeing with this so called marriage.
