Sometimes unsaid things are best!
Laszlo takes his seat silently watching Astraea drinking juice while ignoring him. He showed up after Astraea showed up minutes ago. The silence was killing when Lila choose eye-breaker.
"So, Emperor, would you like some champagne?" Lila asked with a beautiful smile playing on her lips. Laszlo cut a nod No looking at them.
"Laszlo doesn't drink Champagne. He is an admirer of wine and exotic drinks," Elizabeth answered with a smile.
"Then I have something," Brian says and gets up from his seat when Laszlo interrupts him.
"No need I have a flight to catch up. Will catch it up some other time." He smiled and Brian nodded. He gets up from his seat, making everyone stand up in respect except Astraea.
Do I have to stand too?
Brian eyes her while she sighs and gets up standing in front of him. He noticed her every single gesture towards him and smirked internally.
It will be fun. I am going to tame you feisty cat.
He just turns and walks out with Zale and Hector, leaving everyone in the place. Everyone takes the back seats and Elizabeth looks at Astraea with a smile.
"I know it will be hard for you with him but I can promise it will be amazing." She smiled, making Astraea smile faintly.
"I have a few things to mention before anything takes place," Astraea asks and Elizabeth nods her head looking at her.
"I will complete my Master's first and then I choose to be Empress." She says looking at her and Elizabeth nods her head.
"Astraea we can assure you about. László himself had his master's currently in all those responsibilities. I would like you to pursue your education and career before you walk into the royal family." Arawn says and Astraea nods her head.
"Is that all?" Elizabeth asks and Astraea nods her head making everyone smile.
They aren't what the media talk about! Astraea smiled internally, looking at her parents and his parents talking.
At Night
"So, how long my lovely daughter plans to stay with her parents," Brian states, taking a seat beside her daughter and she immediately shifts to watching him munching potato chips in a bowl.
"Until my unofficial fiancé plans too and, of course, how can I forget you both?" She says and Brian chuckle picking up chips and munching along.
" Laszlo is an amazing guy. He is just a bit powerful, and you know..." Her mother comes into view folding clothes neatly and keeping them aside, taking a seat on the couch.
Bit Powerful! Is my mother crazy?
Astraea sighed and switched the TV off, turning towards her parents with a huge sigh.
"Bit Powerful! Seriously Mum? He is freaking Powerful and a Monster. He doesn't think twice before killing anyone. He is the most Powerful Mafia King and Emperor at the same time."
She explained in one breath and shock all over her face from her mother's statement.
"But that doesn't mean he is cruel. And today I saw genuine respect and affection in his eyes for you. At least this is true." Her mother explained, while Astraea rolled her eyes.
"I don't care. I just agreed to marry because I know I will never have options, and he will let me. The way he barged into my apartment when I didn't meet him told me so."
She sighed back, stuffing chips in her mouth. Brian exchanged looks with his wife and looked toward his daughter.
"I know Rodriguez is possessive, but don't forget he is Michael's blood too." Brian tried to make his daughter look at the positive side.
"Yea, And I remember you telling me how Elizabeth kidnapped Arawn Rodriguez and I surely don't want that Dad." Both of them sighed and looked at Astraea stuffing chips again and again.
"You know when you are scared and worried. You are tempted to eat a lot and this sign tells all." Brian says looking at Astraea, and she turns to look at her father.
"Do I really have to marry him? He is just not my type and, overall, he is walking danger." She said nervously and worried. Brain smiled, looking at her.
"I know and overall you know he is best for you. You will know with time." He smiled, looking at her daughter while she turned to look at a blank crafted wall, losing herself in thought.
Altarvia Kingdom
He walked casually with his hands in his pockets towards the airplane with his men posts following him behind. Hector and Zale kept his pace with him while other security covered him in protection.
"Astraea will be traveling in my jet from now on. Any trouble to her, you are doomed, Hector." He says and Hector nervously nods his head, in yes, walking along.
The driver quickly opens the car door and slides inside comfortably, taking him and picking his cell out. He scrolled through contacts and found his desired number. Checking into his inbox, he typed the text.
You will travel back to Italy along with a little security.
He texted and keeps the phone aside, looking outside the car window.
Astraea was busy watching a movie and a notification popped up on her cell screen. She paused the TV screen, picked it up and read the Text. You will travel back to Italy along with security.
Her anger hit her in seconds and her fingers started typing automatically. What do you think of yourself?
The text was received and read in seconds when she saw his typing back. Emperor!! Be careful
She wanted to throw her phone against the wall, but suddenly something struck her.
I will be traveling in my father's jet and sending your minions in my jet. I will only agree to this.
She texted him back and a quick reply came. Will See!
László keeps his cell back and turns to look at Hector.
"Brian Vance has a private pilot for his daughter. Offer him a better position and home tonight. I want him gone from Vance's life till morning." He starts and Hector nods his head and starts typing over his tab.
Ballerina, you are playing with me. You have to lose a baby!
The car came to a halt in front of the Royal Empire. The big iron gates started to open up automatically and the car started to move again, disappearing inside the big Empire Estate.
