Letter from Tiger King

Sebastian clenched his fist when he heard Stain's words. He wasn't wrong. He knew a human can never be his queen. For him, everything was just a big mess. He wanted to kick her out. He doesn't want her to be his queen.

While Alan and Rose walked into the hallway, Alan looked at the front and spoke.

"Don't mind his words! He is not comfortable with humans. His parents were brutally slaughtered by a human swordsman when he was four years old. He was born during the war. At that time, Sun Kingdom of Human Continent had wage war against us for the Elbrium that exists in an island near our country."

"Since it was near us, there is no way we could back down. After seeing his parents killed by the human swordsman, he started hating humans. Just take your time. He will eventually accept you."

Rose's expression froze for a moment. She thought for a moment and spoke "It's okay! I don't really expect them to accept me this soon. But, what is Elbrium? Is it that precious?"

Alan nods his head and explained.

"Elbrium is one of the rarest metals found in our world. This metal has a unique advantage over other metals. It can absorb the mana and store it. If you have an armor made out of Elbrium, you can always have extra storage of mana with you."

"Due to the existence of mana, Elbrium can be mended into Magical Weapons. A sword that can burn with a tiny bit of mana. An arrow that can move like the wind. A wand that heals others with just a touch. And, if it is found anywhere, not just two kingdoms, even dozens of kingdoms can fight against each other for it."

Rose stepped suddenly stopped. She turned her head at Alan and asked "Did you win?"

Alan nods his head and replies.

"Yes, we did. Since it was closer to us, we had a fair advantage. Originally, Sun Kingdom asked for River Kingdom's help. Fortunately, Elf Kingdom also helped us otherwise we would've lost. It was also the time when my dad fell in love with my mom."

Rose blinked her eyes twice and stared at him. Now that he mentioned it, his looks were way over the top. He was on the top of the ranking. Elves are inherently gorgeous. And, Werewolves also have amazing skin. She noticed it after looking at her maids and Stain.

If they appear in the Garcia in front of everyone, they can become the center of attraction.

Rose had a question that she wanted to ask but when she remembered maids and Stain following them, she swallowed down the question.

After a few minutes, both of them reached in front of a big door. The door was opened and there were a few guards waiting outside. Rose was confused why they walked to the front door of the Royal Hall. After all, there was the shortcut door in the hallway.

But, as Alan took a step inside, he raised his hand and stared at her. Rose looked at him in confusion. Erie immediately understood the situation and leaned closer to Rose and whispered.

"Your Highness, you need to hold his majesty's hand while entering the Royal Hall."

Hearing her words, Rose blushed a little. She raised her hand and put on his palm. She wasn't wearing any gloves so each movement was increasing her heartbeat.

Alan covered her hand with his fingers and walked towards the Hall. The maids turned their heads at Stain with confusion. Normally, they aren't allowed to enter the Royal Hall. But now, they are Rose's personal guards.

Stain got their point and said, "Enter with me and stay behind her highness!"

Unfortunately, Stain waited for a while. Inside the Royal Hall, everyone was bowing to Alan and Rose. Alan took Rose to the golden throne. One was for him while another was for. Alan sat on his throne while Rose sat on hers.

When she turned towards the crowd, she got incredibly nervous. She was trying to act cold but her heartbeat was over the top. Suddenly, her heartbeat changed when she heard a cold voice.

"Rise!"

Alan raised his hand and spoke with a cold expression. He was not only acting cold but even radiating the strong aura. This was the first time she had seen Alan this cold and detached.

Everyone in the royal hall raised their heads and looked at the King and Queen sitting on the throne. Many of them were curious about Queen as they kept glancing at her.

'Wow! She is beautiful.'

These were their thoughts when they saw her. The purple dress extends from the top to the bottom. The silver hair fell down behind her. And, those striking red eyes made her extremely attractive.

Not to mention, her skin was fairly smooth and white. She was slender as well as tall, at least compared to normal girls. Rose also glanced back at them. Most of them were wearing blue, red, and white suits with the same colored pants.

Most of these people were males while some were female. As her eyes wandered around, it stopped at a beautiful lady sitting on an exquisite chair. She was wearing tall red hair that matched her hair and eyes.

She was beautiful as Rose. But, there was a frightening aura released from her. When Rose glanced at her, she felt like those eyes looking straight at her as if the tiger was looking at her as prey. She didn't understand why but she felt trouble just by looking at the beautiful lady.

She quickly changed her glance but the beautiful lady kept looking at her. She held her cheeks with her hand and thought.

'Rose Carter! A human who had a striking beauty but always hides it from the crowd. She had fairly good talent in mana. Her family runs a restaurant in Garcia. And, she learned cooking to fill her stomach. A kind of gluttony but still maintained that slender body.'

'Her weakness is her parents. Well, I should wait for Wolf King's reply. If he doesn't agree, then I might have to exploit that weakness of hers.'

Thinking of her weakness, a cunning and cruel smile appeared on her lips. At this moment, Stain and Rose's maids walked in. Erie and others walked behind Rose while Stain stood next to Alan.

"Your majesty, would you like to hear the letter sent by Tiger King?" Suddenly, a man wearing a blue suit stood up and asked while looking at Alan.

"If you please!" Alan nods his head.

The man took out a scroll and opened it. He took a deep breath and spoke "To my dearest friend Alan, I want to congratulate you on your marriage. I heard you married a human. That was a surprise to me since you weren't interested in someone weak."

"I don't know the reason why you suddenly married a human but I know she can never fill your heart. You always admired and liked strong people. That's why, I, the Tiger King of Tiger Kingdom would like to send the daughter of my uncle to be your concubine."

"She possesses the strength that can satisfy you. She possesses the beauty that can strike the moon. And, she possesses the courage the stand next to you unlike a petite human girl. My friend, I hope you will accept my gift!"

As soon as the person read the letter, Rose's suddenly felt intense heart-wrenching pain.
