“I see where your frustration lies, my dear.” The king said thoughtfully, to the werewolf he said, “what’s your name young man?”
“Prince Felix Walker, my lord.” He replied.
“The name suits you so very well but, why are you after my daughter?” The king asked.
“She is my familiar, my lord.” Felix replied.
“Not if I have something to say about that.” Salvador interrupted.
“Even if you do, there’s nothing you can do at this point homey.” Felix replied.
An argument could have emerged but the presence of the king kept them on bay. The main concern was not them, they all understood that, it was Ella.
“Ella dear?” The king called out.
But she was already walking to the table. She pulled out a chair and sat. 
The others came to her side and sat the king sat on the master chair and instructed the three men to sit opposite his daughter. They did as instructed and waited.
“You know,” Ella said in a trembling voice, “I went to pray early this morning. I told God that I wanted to get married, to whom, when and where, I don’t care.” She smiled and cleaned the tear that ran down her face. “Well now I do care, but it’s too late. It looks like he already heard and answered my prayer.” She looked at the men in front of her and clean her tears as they flow.
“Three men, one lady, what sort of an answer is that? To me, that is a bit too much.” The king shudder.

"I don't understand." Ella halted abruptly. "How then do you go outside?" Ella was most definitely was confused.

"I was born here and lived here." He replied as he stopped just in front of her. "We used to go out of here. This hallway was filled with ornaments and was a very fine place to be; be it night or day!" Ella felt him smiled as he spoke. "But when she died, the passage was locked with her and we couldn't go out neither anyone come in. Except you, dear." She felt him gave a weary smile. "That must be a miracle!"

"I guess, but it still got me far away from my family." She joked and heard him chuckle.

"This is a terrible time to be cracking jokes." He moved forward.

Ella followed him in silence with a smile.
