Chapter 6: Prologue (His Bitter Past) – 5. Peace Alliance Meeting Party

1. Prologue (His Past) - 5. Peace Alliance Meeting Party

Days quickly passed, the meeting day arrived.

It was a sunny day in Eternal Harmony City. The city was more lively than usual as more guests arrived at Golden Light Castle.

Angel swung the reins around his hands and pulled it to stop his horse as he arrived at the castle entrance. He came down from the horse and stepped quickly to enter the castle. A man in white official uniform stood side by side with him who began to walk in wide strides.
"Your Highness, the king is waiting for your report in the main hall."

He simply answered him with a nod.

After seeing his reply, the official stopped his steps and bowed his head.

Meanwhile, a red royal carriage with the wolf crest of Zephyrus in gold arrived at the entrance. Some of the servants put a short staircase at the door of the carriage and guided the king who came out of it so he did not step on his robe.
King Eudon Crystoll Heart was the current King of Zephyrus. He had dark red hair, purple eyes, a fierce face and a thin beard. He wore a red royal military uniform, his ascot pinned with a red badge of the Zephyrus crest and the red robe with white wolf fur on his shoulder.

After a while, an elegant faced woman in a red royal dress followed him. Rose Ambrosia Heart was King Eudon's niece and the only princess of Zephyrus. Although she was only sixteen years old, her beauty was clear. Her long dark red hair was slightly wavy and half braided. Her eyes were purple with thin coral red lips.

An official bowed to greet them politely.
"Welcome to Asteria, Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Both of them replied with a nod.
"The king has ordered to serve you well. I will escort you to your room," the official said as he gestured to follow him.

King Eudon and Rose followed the official to their room. While their knights and guards were tailing them.

Rose let out a quiet sigh as she remembered her conversation with King Eudon last week.

'The peace alliance meeting party will be held in seven days. There will be high officials and princes present there, you can choose your future husband from one of them. But I heard Prince Ilex of Asteria is the best of all. He's a handsome and talented man, many women have fallen in love with him. His age should be not far from yours. '

She silently followed King Eudon, but her mind was lost in thoughts. She knew King Eudon only wanted her to do political marriage voluntarily since many nobles still opposed him. Her family was also always considered the weakest compared to other royal families abilities. That's why King Eudon decided to seek support from other kingdoms through marriage and Prince Ilex of Asteria was the best choice. If Rose married him, her family would have full support from Asteria and her family's position as the ruler of Zephyrus wouldn't be considered weak anymore. This method was also the most peaceful way to overcome the rebellion in her kingdom. But ... Was a princess destined to marry someone she didn't love and had to sacrifice her happiness?

The official's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, this is your room. We can change it if you don't like it," the official said as he opened the door to a luxury big bedroom.

King Eudon entered the room and swept his gaze around it before returning his gaze to the official.
"I will take this room."

"You can pull the rope beside the bed if you need us," the official added.

"Fine," said King Eudon.

Then the official turned to Rose and gestured to her to follow him.
"Your Highness, I will escort you to your room."

Rose nodded, but when she was about to follow the official. King Eudon instructed her.
"You have to get ready early today."

"I understand," she replied, though there was a bitter feeling about this. Then she bowed and followed the official to her room.
'I won't give up ...'
