Captive

Duke Salvador walked into the room full of people. There was a slight chill in the air as everyone important was sitting there.

Once the greeting was done all the people sat down when the secretary smiled and said. "All the rituals have been performed. The first Princess, Princess Valeria will be the next Emperor of the Elvira Empire."

The secretary smiled as he continued. "I have personally seen it with my own eyes. Princess Valeria will be our savior."

Duke Salvador smiled as he looked into the eyes of the Emperor. He could see that the man was not happy with the results.

'Something is off.'

'The Emperor is not smiling.'

'There is no happiness in his eyes.'

.Princess Valeria was looking at Duke Salvador with a soft gaze. Her expression was full of love. The only thing that she hoped for was to make Aiden Salvador look at her, but the Duke was looking elsewhere.
