Ryker smiled, a calculating glint in his eye.
“Oh, I know she can.
And when she does, you’ll be the one who’s tamed.”
Thane laughed, the sound echoing through the room.
“I’m looking forward to it, King Ryker.
But don’t get your hopes up.
I’m not easily tamed.”
Ryker’s smile grew wider.
“We’ll see about that, Prince Thane.
We’ll see about that.”
Princess Jasminda who was eavesdropping behind the door couldn’t contain her happiness of finally being granted audience with the Prince alone to impress him.
She quietly made her way to her room to properly celebrate at this chance that was given to her by her father.
Inside the room Prince Thane who already noticed the process long before she could properly settle at the door to listen to their conversation smirked.
Until we see again King Ryker I will be taking my leave now Thane said as he got up and made his way out of the door.
Away from the castle the Emberstone family had already retired to bed and each to their own thoughts wondering about the events that happened tonight.
Mark and his wife discussed the potential of Camilla becoming the chosen bride of the Vampire Prince and how her journey would turn out in an unknown city that would totally be foreign to her.
While also discussing about the abrupt stop of the party due to the massacre that happened in the palace.
I wonder who the kingdom offended this time around and it can’t be a coincidence that it happened during the visit of the Prince Mark spoke his thoughts out.
Julia who was listening to her husband’s input thought otherwise as the king throughout the years had already gathered too many enemies who would love for a chance to put him in his place for once.
Well let’s wait for the Royal families announcement to the people tomorrow for now let’s go to sleep my darling she spoke coercing him to lay down. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Mark put aside his thoughts for now and turned his focus to his wife.
You look beautiful in this night wears tonight he teased as he hand slid underneath.
Despite them having gone up in age the made sure to make each other fill special everyday of course this was the key to keeping a happy home in most families unlike some who didn’t understand the essence.
The next morning Camilla sat in her bed too lazy to stand up and begin the activities of the day.
Before the abrupt end of the party yesterday an invitation was handed over to fifteen eligible ladies from across various prominent families in the kingdom seeking the audience of their daughters to the palace today for the final selection that would be done in the palace.
What she couldn’t understand was if the crown prince was so powerful like he was portrayed why didn’t he just choose a bride he liked?
Why subject himself to this unnecessary courting of many ladies and making everyone fuse just to get his attention.
She didn’t see herself ending up with him even after all the romantic moments the already had between them nor did the ring he gave her mean anything special to her because in the law of the Vampire kingdom a royal had to marry another royal which was a tradition that had been strictly followed for years and she knew he couldn’t break it up because of a stranger he just met.
She felt it was insulting and disgusting for him to do that but that was in the past now.
Well i’m was just going to do her thing nothing else matters as long as I enjoy myself there and make fun of the Princess a little she she shrugged as she thought while grinning.
Having found a new motivation she made her way to the bathroom to get ready for the day while happily singing to herself.
She made it out in time to hear her mom knocking on the door.
Good morning mother,slept well she asked in a cheerful voice after opening the door.
Julia surprised by her happy mood was thrown off guard as she had prepared hundred and one reasons to convince her to go for the selection as it would be rude to back out when they already received the invitation and already confirmed her presence today.
Good morning my dear,you are glowing this morning mind sharing with your dear mother why she asked while wiggling her brows at her smiling.
Ohh mother,there is no special reason.
Let’s just say am in a really good mood this morning.
Lila texted me this morning apologizing for not making it to yesterday’s party but she would be present in the palace today as she is among the chosen ladies Camilla squealed while jumping to express her happiness.
I’m just glad you are not sulking over the potential of being chosen to keep the Prince Company till he chooses his wife Julia said.
I’m not keeping him company mother,I’m just going in there to ruffle some feather Camilla assured while picturing Jasminda’s fear streaked face when she saw her.
She found their confrontation at the restroom interesting and she needed something to keep her busy so why not go along with the flow the universe was presenting she thought.
You silly girl,Julia reprimanded her with a slight tap on the head.
Be careful with your antics and don’t cause trouble.
Get dressed up already the palace car will be here soon to pick you up from here She reminded her lovingly and made her way down the stairs to join the two gentlemen who were still sulking over Camilla’s impending departure.
Is she ready yet Mark asked as soon as she caught site of Julia making her way down towards them.
Julia smiled at her husband’s visible nervous and couldn’t help but laugh out.
Come on Mark,she’s not getting married already quit overreacting.
I can’t help being nervous darling I mean this is the first time she will be embarking on something like this in her life.
If she doesn’t want to go let’s just let her be instead of forcing her he said in a bit to make her see reasons with him but the reaction he could get from her was the amusement written over her face.
Mother I support dad in this,I don’t think she’s ready for this type of stuff yet we should give her more time to think things over Liam seconded Mark.
And Camilla who was just making her way down chuckled while teasing him.
I didn’t know I was this loved by a certain person she remarked while looking at her younger brother who blushed at being caught showing affection.
Seriously chill our guys am not going to get eaten,and I won’t be alone because Lila will be there she assured them.
