Love, Power, or Freedom

"I'll make you my Queen," Crown Prince Cassian offered her without hesitation.

Alaric clenched his fists as he watched Eve and Prince Cassian. 

'He is willing to give her power and wealth. He is the next king of Eldara. No one will refuse such an offer. Both of them have the same status as royalty. Even Gavin can't compete with Crown Prince Cassian.' 

"I'm just a general from a commoner family. She can divorce me anytime and marry the crown prince," Alaric mumbled to himself with a bitter smile on his face.

Alaric didn't wait for Eve to say her response. He wasn't prepared to hear her accepting Crown Prince Cassian's marriage proposal. 

As Alaric left, Eve finally found her voice to speak to Crown Prince Cassian.
