His Witch Queen

Hearing this, King Almen felt the tightness around his chest. Not only that, King Vilas could feel the pressure on his shoulders.

The entire power was now given in the hands of no one else but Prince Cyrus, who was always against him. His words were the most specific explanation of the same and even Alice, who stood outside, had the intuition that this vampire will take the step which will not be in favor of them. 

Subconsciously, her hands were converted into one, when she prayed to her God, to not let anything happen to her Kingdom. She was willing to be a component of the sacrifice for her motherland and for her people but, ruining it in the hand of vampires? 

She knew that they would transform them from human to vampire, creating a situation of the massacre in their empire. 

Everyone's breath was held in their lungs when everyone's eyes were averted to see the cold-hearted Vampire Prince, who didn't let his emotions be carried away.

It was the most deadly situation for everyone. As King Almen was constantly glaring at his son, hoping for him to opt for the option which is suitable for him.

However, Prince Cyrus thought entirely differently from his father. 

Taking a deep breath, he tugged his hands behind his attire, "We have been arranging this alliance for the welfare of our Kingdom, not to ruin each other."

"I'm willing to take Princess Alice as my lady, the Queen of the Gazelle Kingdom. Prince Dominic and King Villa can rest assured and return to their empire." He finally blurted out what came to mind.

Yet this wasn't just mere wording. He had concluded all the sitting in his mind. Was he willing to act as a puppet as that of his father? Cyrus's eyes shone with the mist.

"Very well." The council head nodded his head when he stood from his own throne, "I will say that it is a very wise decision that you took, Crowned Prince Cyrus. I'm glad."

"It is my honor," Cyrus replied when he bowed down a bit keeping his hands over his chest.

Yet in contrast to what Prince Cyrus had already said, King Vilas didn't feel the positive vibe at all. The thought of Prince Cyrus taking away his precious was similar to having arrows embedded in his chest.

He doesn't have the heart to send her away, especially when she is herself unknown to her own powers. Despite controlling the urge to not let himself blurt out anything. His lips had turned into a  straight line recalling what these Vampires might plan to do.

Torture his daughter… her life will be turned into that of a nightmare. A lady who always led a cherished life will be going through immense and adverse situations.

Prince Dominic noted his father's ignited a fire that was hard to extinguish. But afterward, he placed his hands over his shoulders, in the hope of making him feel relaxed.

Yet this was out of expectation, "I don't agree to this alliance anymore! My daughter will not go anywhere!"

Hearing this, Prince Cyrus's eyebrows lifted from their place. His aura had dropped to the level of the ground when the clouds of anger had started to surround his mind.

The eyes of his hand started to show the distantness which made everyone's heart skip a beat at first, "Are you sure, King Vilas?"

"My daughter is my precious! Go and get another bride!" King Vilas yelled but Prince Dominic had stayed quiet. Till now, he was silently noting nothing but Crowned Prince Cyrus was trying to actually have his hands over his sister.

Nevertheless to say, instead of not taking her side, this Prince actually stated that he is a monster and is interested in having a life with his sister. 'Who will be a Vampire be interested in marrying a normal human-like Alice?' It was out of the blue.

Recalling how Prince Cyrus had shown up when they went behind the lake, his eyes narrowed.  But he kept himself quiet throughout the words.

"Cyrus, King Vilas seems reluctant to act-" King Almen tried to revoke the same choice. But Cyrus was way ahead, "Let me talk with you, King Vilas."

Saying this, he walked ahead and took a few steps. When Cyrus arrived, even King Vilas stood on his toes. He looked at the vampire face to face with the evident furiousness present in those eyes.

His aura was deadly, to the extend where everyone waited, with the hope that King Vilas won't kill Prince Cyrus....since his instinct was holding to snap Cyrus's head.

But to everyone's surprise, what happened next was something unexpecting. Cyrus had actually given King Vilas a bear-type hug when he kept his mouth near King Vilas's ears.

There was absolute silence, and even King Vilas didn't bulge from the same. He didn't even hug Cyrus himself. All he did was keep himself straight and frozen on the ground.

The expressions of his were that of dumbfounded, where he was at the loss of words. Not only that, but her heart was still pounding in his chest as if it was ready to come out at any moment or so.

Prince Dominic witnessed the same but he never muttered anything. For God knows how many moments passed but afterward, Cyrus pulled back with a bright smile that was covered on his lips. 

His eyes had lifted upwards, into the shape of the moon. The smile was reaching up to his ears, showing his unlimited happiness in this stressed environment.

"This is to start our new alliance, King Vilas. Don't worry, I will keep your daughter happiest of all. From now onwards, you are my father in law…" Cyrus's speech contained all the sugar-coated speech making King Vilas's jaw hardened.

But in the end, King Vilas ended up nodding his head. With a lot of reluctance, he turned his body in the council head's direction. "Let us..proceed this way.."
