"I want your daughter" aldric spoke with zero emotions on his face. While on the other hand, rest everybody present in the room were still as dead. The room had become so silent that even if an ant sneezed it could be heard { i know ants don't sneeze just a joke XD dont attack me XD XD}. After recovering from shock Corell angrily spated out ,"my daughter isn't a thing". Aldric dangerously calmly replied, "if i were you even in my death situation, wouldn't speak to a vampire king like that. And next time before talking to me watch your tone, its for your own good. I am before handed telling you i wont be able to control myself like the way i have i have now all the time. I DONT STAND ANYONE BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO ME ." He emphasized the last line with a pause between each word
Corell felt his wife squeezing his hand next to him reminding him to be calm and controlled. "Look, king corell, the very first time i laid my eyes on her, i wanted her. You may think this line a cliche for a person like me but it is what it is. This kind of feelings never become too old and too overused ." "Its not possible" replied king corell . Aldric scoffed "Well i think you misunderstood me i didnt ask you , i was just informing you, you know for formality purpose . There's this habit of mine, once i want something at the moment the every next moment i will be having it either by hook or crook. Let me elaborate the deal i was talking about before" aldric stood up and walked near the desk and sat partially on it and continued " You send your daughter with me or i go back to my kingdom" he gave a dramatic pause, his hand playing with a round glass paper holder and continued, "with your daughter and your kingdom too. Lets be honest, its clear there's no way out of this. Even if you collet thrice the amount of the army you have you wont be able to defeat me at all. Not only you but no one can defeat Aldric Valentino."
Aldrics whose eyes were inspecting the things he picked randomly from the table now looked at corell's eyes and he lazily spoke, "so your situation is crystal clear to your eyes so lets cut all the family drama and you being emotional and taking impractical solutions , lets fast-forward to the c****x where you you will be sending your daughter with me eventually for sure, saving your time as well as mine." "We would consider your words lord Aldric but could you please excuse us for a while as we would need to discuss it" it was now the queen who spoke trying to sound as polite as possible. "AHHHH the words i waiting to hear, it feels good to hear a wise person speaking practically. Actually i wouldn't want to allow it as its just a utter time waste. As you dont have any other option left rather than what i suggested but when a beautiful lady like yourself asked so politely how could i refuse. So now i shall be heading to my room to take some rest and happy discussion to all three of you, i wish you wont take a decision which wouldn't end good for your kingdom or your people. Me being generous as ever will be giving you time till tomorrow to come in terms with the reality, untill then good night" after finishing his words aldric left from there casually but stopped at the door and turned, "you are gonna be mine, type it and save it in your brain, till then good night bella" Aldric winked at samantha and left from there. Samantha stared at the retarding back of aldric gaping when she heard his voice ,"close your mouth you wouldn't want a fly entering our mouth." Hearing that samantha immediately straightened herself.
The king now turned to face the queen, "Dont tell me you are considering his words." "Of course i am and even you have to if we dont give samantha willing its clear he will be anyhow taking samantha by force along with our kingdom and destroying the peace of our citizens too." queen explained. But how could i just watch my daughter being taken away by a monster like him". " Do you think this is making me any happier but NOTHING is in our hand right now. Destruction cant be avoided at any cost but the intensity can be reduced" ,queen spoke stressing on her words. Samantha who had been witnessing all this spoke, "Dad, according to what you have told to me about what kind of a person he is and what i have just witnessed he is a dangerous man and he is type who does as he says, he can go to any extent to fulfill his ego" ,samantha spoke these words with a very heavy heart pain evident in her eyes. "Dad we have no options other than sending me with him in order to save our kingdom and people" ,samantha spoke as tears ran down her cheeks. She knew this is gonna break her, her dreams, her life but there was no option at all. It pained her that the only thing she ever desired was not the riches, beauty or luxury, she desired a true love but the only ever wish of her was just shattering into pieces by her own self. It was like scripted deal which was either to lose herself or lose herself and the kingdom and its people. King finally spoke, a lone tear escaping from his eyes "I am sorry my princess i am not able to protect you i was not able to be a good father." Samantha consoled her father, "This is my sole decision and no one else is at fault for this or is responsible for it. I as a princess of my kingdom is fulfilling my duties of protecting it, that's it and Mr.cornell you have no rights to speak about my dad like that, i know him the best. He loves me to the utter most extent and also the god has given me the world's best parents . I am sure he will also give me strength also to bare the difficulties coming along my way" , Samantha spoke trying to lighten the mood.
All the three chuckled but tears visible in their eyes , they hugged each other in a family hug. Both king and queen spoke unanimously ,"i love you samantha". "i love you too mom and dad" samantha replied.
Though Aldric had left the room he stood far away from the room but thanks to his vampiric hearing skills he was eavesdropping their conservation, was he guilty? hell nahh. After hearing their conversation he really left to his room with a smirk.
