Shattered Heart, Strong Aria

Aria didn't go into the portal, but sat on a chair and waited for her father to finish whatever he was doing in that pocket dimension.

Her mind was blank, and she just sat dazedly.

In the blink of an eye, six hours passed by.

Aria was still sitting dazedly, waiting for her father.

Thankfully, her wait was finally over after another hour as her father finally emerged from the portal.

King Leim. He was lean-muscled like Erix and was 6'4 feet tall with shoulder-length light blond hair.

Upon seeing Aria, he was surprised and smiled, "What brings you here, my doll?"

Aria finally snapped out of her daze hearing his voice. 

Upon looking at her father, Aria's eyes glazed.

"Father…I don't want to marry. I want to live my life based on my decisions. Please cancel this arrangement."

Aria's eyes looked straight into Leim's eyes and wanted to see his immediate reaction to her decision.
