Chapter Eighteen

“Have you lost your mind Casper?! Is this what I have taught you?! The control you have gained over your emotions for the past 15 centuries, you have decided to cede?!”

“I couldn't take his impudence!!” Casper shouted, just as livid.

“And that is how a king of the Darkeye Kingdom responds? How ludicrous!” Casper kept his cool, looking anywhere but his father who kept pacing about the room. Suddenly he stopped, his green eyes fixed on him.

“Where is your bride?”

Casper sighed. “ I haven't found her.”

“Then what the hell have you been doing in that school?! You waste a lot of valuable time there! If you let this continue any further, I make sure you have an arranged marriage!!”

“Aunt Tilly told me I would find her there!!” Casper bristled. “And yes I remember our deal clearly! I still have five more months.”

“ Well get Maltida to hasten the process!! I don't care how she does it! Go now!!”
