Take the bride

After I came back home my mom cried whole clinging into me. Dad turned his face away while wiping the silent tears he shed.

Mom quickly took me to my room and gave me a bath. After drying my hair and saying some soothing words she leave me alone.

I was sitting idly on the edge of my bed while staring at the dagger which was placed on my table. Well so he wants me to kill someone!

In the room filled with sunlight which was reflecting from the polished white floor. The soft sunlight that was smiling on the thin white curtain and the smell if lilies Lila put on my table, I was sitting between everything with lot of thought rolling in my head about this and that.

My back flopped on the soft spongy bed with open arms as I fer a sting of pain from forearm "wah! That crazy bastard"

I moved my arm in front of my face "he is really crazy!" My eyes were rather silent as if I have gone through so much that i totally forgot about the pain in my body

The warm sunlight of the sun and the cozy bed was finally giving me the sense of serenity. I am home. There no one will hurt me. All that happened, let's leave it behind.

I curl up my body on bed, tucking my head down and holding knees close to my stomach I felt safe. I didn't know when I fell asleep.

"Yawn" rubs eyes and sit on bed. I scratch my head as I walked down my bed, wearing my cozy slippers I walked down the stairs with a half sleepy face.

My eyes fell on my parents who were sitting in the main hall with a serious look. Well it's look like they are worried about what happened to me in the morning.

I was walking lazily on the stairs as my whole body was still slight aching.

With the sound of my slippers my parents look at me. Mom came running and held my hand as if she is giving me support to walk "if you wanted to come down you should have called for someone"

Lila was hurriedly running on the stairs behind me "master, madam My lady isn't in her room---" she said with a worried voice but stops as she saw me down.

Looking at everyone so worried about me a soft chuckle slips my lips "hahaha you guys are worried for nothing. I am totally fine"

IN THE ROYAL PALACE

In the royal palace, under the big ceiling all the ministers were sitting on a big table tracing back to the man who was sitting on the luxurious throne with a crown on his head.

The room was filled with dead silence as all the ministers were staring at the King who was sitting there with cold eyes, leaning back on his chair.

"Let's start the meeting" king said with a cold voice

The minister all gave each other a glance saying that they can talk now "Your majesty! The soldiers on the border of the empire were found dead" an old man with only one glass on his right eye talked while making his body as small as possible

The hall went silence and everyone was staring at the king "How many"

"It's....it's around fifty men. We did the research and we have found traces of Werewolfs. They took the supplies we had there and also burned the warehouse"

The room was silent. A ominous silence looming in the room made everyone shiver.

Smirk "let them be.....Daveis is just preparing to welcome his daughter in law. We won't be so cruel to kill people in such a auspicious event"

"Send words that tomorrow they can gather at the main line with all the preparations they have done. Tell them they can pick their bride tomorrow"

The hall was still filled with silence as the king get up and all the ministers stand and bows "As you order your majesty!"

Outside the hall all the ministers walking while chatting and snickering to each other "I cannot believe that Felix who was always adored by his majesty would meet such fate"

"Hah he must be so heartbroken. To think he has to send his only daughter to those monsters"

Sneer "Daveis is saying this girl is for his son who is a lunatic but who know how many filth are going to mate with her"

Mockery chuckles "I have also heard that they do it in bushes...hahah it must be exciting isn't it"

The third man mocks him "if it's so exciting why don't you go with your wife in the bushes" the other ministers laughs loudly

"That's aside but the fact that his majesty is calm about it means that he is really abandoning Norman family" the man speaks with serious tone

"Such a tragic end they are going to face."

A man sneer with a click of his tongue "Hy do you know his daughter is one of the most beautiful girl in our EMPIRE. I have also heard that Sir Norman was getting bundled of proposals for his daughter from the best nobel family but to think he rejected everyone. Sure sure it was his fate to end up like this. If he has married his daughter already then he didn't had to suffer like this"

The minister walks down the stairs while their laughing and chuckling was still unfazed
