His Witch Queen

Princess Alice never tore her gaze from the Queen. It was as if she had come across anyone, who was literally thinking for her betterment.

If all the expressions on the faces were supposed to be true, till now, Alice would have strongly believed that this lady was in her favor. 

However, she wasn't in any other world either. In the back, she had already made an opinion for this Queen of the Kingdom, and that wasn't in a positive sense. 

But without letting her spark fade away, Alice muttered, "Queen Of Gazelle Kingdom can rest assured. I don't expect love and affection from this Alliance."

"That is very well because you won't be getting that. Keep your expectation lower and yourself away from that vampire because he will try his best to have you." It was the Queen who had a change of plans. 

She knew that if both of them mate, it will be to her advantage. After all, Prince Cyrus's curse will surely break and it will be a joyous moment for her.

However, as she came across Princess Alice, what Elizabeth felt was different. 

'She is too powerful from a normal Human. Even her aura and her mind. I can't even read her thoughts when I'm using all my powers..' It equipped her with curiosity. And she will not let anything happen to this lady until...she realizes who she actually is. 

And this...will be happening very much soon...

.....

On the other hand, King Almen had called Crowned prince Cyrus as well as prince Alex to discuss another Kingdom's strategies...

In fact, this time there were many other Princes of the Kingdom too, along with the Generals and the ministers. 

They all were standing around the map that was laid on the center table. Whereas, it was general Ryan who was making everyone understand the layout that he had designed. "Fleke Empire has been never been such strong. We all are aware of how they have used the ill powers to gather the soldiers last time and fought with the Crystal Empire." 

"Their methods have been so different that they have been banished from the Peace COUNCIL as well. But this didn't impact their strong walk to compete over other kingdoms. They are strongly proceeding further to expand their control and regions." General Ryan had lifted his stick from the one hand to do the maps to the other before he continued, "This is the place where they are currently and. And here..are we." general Ryan told while pointing to their own palace. 

"They aren't very close but they do pose a threat to us. Sooner or later, we will be against them as well, because they aren't ready for any peace treaty as well." General Ryan finally told.

On hearing everything, it was Crowned Prince Cyrus who lifted his eyes to look at the General, "From where are they gathering the power?"

"Probably from the Clouds. An invention of a local had helped them with all the disasters, which had taken place and turned their losing battle into the winning." General Ryan honestly told with a serious expression plastered on his face. 

On the other hand, it was King Almen whose eyes had narrowed. "They will come for us.."

"How can you be so sure, father?" Prince Alex asked, who saw his father's confidence, "It can be that they don't happen to come to us and they..actually take the U-turn before reaching our frontiers."

"I don't think they will, brother Alex." It was the other Prince, named Sebastian who spoke. He was the son of the lady Sierra, who had inherited her brown hair. He had a thick brow and knife-like jawline. 

Prince Alex rotated his head to look at his brother, with a raised eyebrow, "Why do you think like this, Seb?"

"We can easily see that the Fleke empire is targeting those empires, which aren't very powerful. Till yet as told by general Ryan, they have already taken control over the small kingdoms which wasn't any difficult task for them. But now, since they have gathered strong soldiers base, their aim is for the Big empires."

In return, Cyrus, who has listened to his words very attentively, can't help but agree with him. Staring back at his father, he also gave him the meaning of all, "I can agree with whatever that Seb told us. Our Empire is vast enough. If they can defeat us, they will have their hands on the most powerful kingdom of the vampires. And the Fleke Empire will not let this opportunity be wasted..." 

Whatever was told by prince Cyrus as well as Prince Seb did make sense to King Almen. He had kept himself silent through the next few minutes as if he was only staring at the map that was in front of his eyes. 

Evaluating everything that is possible, his mind had worked in all the directions possible, to invade the fights at the maximum level. "General Ryan, do we possess the arms to fight right now?"

"To fight, we do possess, Your Highness. But..I would like to warn you that our enemy has too many powers. It isn't advisable for us to go against them until we have the knowledge about their forces.." General Ryan gave his honest opinion. 

There was all around uneasiness. While death was knocking on their doors and on its way towards them, there was no sign that they would have to get their things straight. 

Otherwise, the chances of defeat are very much high. 

Meanwhile, Prince Alex also stayed quiet but surely, his back was filled with chills. 'Fight? At least Cyrus is here...he will lead everything if anything happens...' 

Whereas in contrast to his thoughts, King Almen had taken a deep breath. Closing his eyes for the next few seconds before reopening them, he stared down at the map but his words were directed to everyone who was present, "Last time I heard that Fleke Empire was willing to let go of Crystal Empire if... the Crystal Empire's King, was willing to let the Fleke Empire's sister be married off to him." 

"But as well know that Crystal empire's King was reluctant, the fought happened as now we all know who is ruling over it...."

The words startled everyone presents out there. In fact, they started to look at each other, except Cyrus, who hadn't torn away from his gaze from his father, "Are you suggesting something, his Highness?"

"Cyrus..." At last, King Almen raised his head to look at his oldest son, as well as the Crown Prince before muttering, "You know that this is a deadly situation... The mistake committed by the King of Cyrus Empire was to reject a proposal of the wedding." 

"Whereas if he had accepted to marry the Fleke Empire's King's sister, this situation could have been avoided. We all know the rumors that she is different. She has powers, which are basically the reason for the upliftment of the Fleke Empire's soldiers as well..." 

"But Your Highness, that doesn't mean that his sister would have been loyal to them. What guarantees that they won't have gone to war even after he had married his sister?" It was Seb who raised this question, not understanding the theory of his father even relevant. 

The Fleke Empire can't be trusted either. How were they supposed to actually believe that they would have remained quiet after their sister was married? 

There were so many chances that this was the way of letting their sister enter into the Kingdom, and to weaken it internally. She could have acted like that as well, which wasn't any good chance to take either.

But King Vias had tilted his eyes on Cyrus. Moreover, prince Cyrus's jaw had clutched together with his eyes narrowing into a sly glint, "Your Highness, you know those things..aiisn't favorite." 

"You can marry her, and this will solve many issues." King Almen had openly given the declaration, which didn't shock Prince Alex much. 

But on the other hand, Prince Seb had to keep his silence, yet a frown had settled on his forehead "Again a marriage? Didn't Crown Prince Cyrus just now marry his Suziania bride?' 

Meanwhile, initially, Cyrus didn't even rebel or agree. He had kept himself in a state of deep silence. However, his hands had converted into a fist. The gaze had turned chilly where the temperature had dropped to the next level. 

"King Almen..." he took the full name which raised King Almen's brows, "What? You didn't like my option?"

"Disgusting. Your option is beyond that! I'm not any plaything who will keep on marrying whosoever you will ask me to." Cyrus found it hard to not raise his voice. 

Deep in his heart, he was willing to snap his father's head. Even his inner urges were showing up, at the height that he was to marry another person..no, that was the last thing he was looking forward to. 

Especially, when there is already one to handle back in his chamber for now... 

However, his displeasure wasn't liked by King Almen at all. His annoyance was much to his displeasure, where the forehead lines of his deepened, "This is for the Kingdom of ours.."

"Kingdom of ours? You are the king. Why don't you marry her and bring one more lady as your wife? Since you already have five, bringing one won't create any harm either. Right, His Highness?
