*knock knock I let my daughter wipe her tears first before I respond, "Come in! ", Cally my right hand subordinate opened the door. "Your majesty! The crown Prince of the western direction delivered a letter that is notarized by the central region, and.. " he hesitated first and took a glimpse at my daughter, " Speak! " I ordered. "Your majesty! There's a note that said... That s-said you should.. " Cally stutters finding it hard to relay the message. "Speak Cally! What is it? " I straighten my back and feel my body turn cold, this is not a good news. "Your majesty! The crown Prince asked for the young Princess in exchange of young Prince Adam when she comes of age and.." he relay in one breathe unable to continue the rest but I know already what he is trying to say. I saw my daughter turned stiff in hearing the news her eyes dull looking lifeless, my eyes darkened, then I slammed the table hard, "Ridiculous how can he ask the central region for my daughter! " unable to catch my breath and my body keep shaking in anger. "Your majesty! It says that this letter is not for negotiations or else the young Prince life.. " Cally couldn't continue and even I know the consequences of not following this order because the central region granted the request and if we didn't follow, destruction will be twice as much. Even the west King Oscar is in critical condition now, if he dies that ruthless crown Prince will be the new King of the western direction. I turned to look at my pitiful daughter, her lifeless eyes starts to shake and her face turned pale instantly. I knew ever since she was a child, she liked Adam the most that's why I asked Queen Amelie for his youngest son to stay for my daughter and even secretly arranged a marriage proposal when she turned 18. And she did last week, how can this be a cruel fate. I guess that simple childhood like grow deeper now that they spent more than ten years together. "No! Never in my entire life can that monster have my precious daughter! " I heard anger in my father's voice, 'Did he think that by having me to his side he will be able to gain a wolf whisperers ability? ' I can't deny the string of pain I'm feeling right now, not because of this battle but my body keeps shaking at the thought of Adam in that demon's hand. It's terrifies me! "Father! Adam how about him? " His face darkened, I started to feel agitated is he planning on ignoring the central region and even Adam? No way! What I witnessed earlier! That runes wasn't some ordinary royal Prince can possess. "Father! Even if Adam sacrifice his life, we can't escape the wrath of the central region if you violated another law! " I reminded him, his gaze turned deep as if he is planning something in his mind, "Elisha you don't have to interfere in this matter I'll arrange someone as soon as possible you have to stay away at this mess for a while, don't worry the luna wolf will accompany you. " I stared at him in shock, "Father our clan will end if we deceive the central region again! And .. A-Adam h-how about him! I won't leave him behind. Father in order to save me he risks his life--" *slam Father slammed hard on the table my blubbering ceased instantly his eyes turned bloodshot, and Uncle Cally tried hard to reduce his presence, father is in a difficult situation right now. "Elisha you listen to me!" He shouted, "I won't watch my only daughter be eaten whole by that monster! Your mother keeps on reminding me before to keep you safe and away from that person to change the prophecy--". "Your majesty! " Uncle Cally cut him immediately looking anxious as if reminding father not to say something inappropriate. Father look stunned and his eyes became clearer than before as if realizing that he lost his composure, "What prophecy are you talking about father?" I turn to look at Uncle Cally and he looked guilty, "Uncle Cally what is father talking about? Why did you cut him? " Father's lip tightly shut, I added, "I have the right to know what is going on! Why no one is talking to me! " Uncle Cally pluck up courage to speak, "Princess.. " before he could finish father interrupted. "Elisha! It's not what you think, I intended to tell you when the time comes but father was preoccupied with your brother's... " he didn't resume maybe trying to smoothen things out but couldn't.
