Chapter 2: Prophecy

The situation was no less complicated in the Suzania Kingdom. King Vilas was standing on the doorstep of the large hall, where the melodious sound of the piano was heard.

Alongside was the chirping of the birds, when the sunlight falling from the wide-open window, made the scene look photogenic and mesmerizing. Dozens of birds were sitting near the window to hear the soft tune played by no one else but Princess Alice.

At the same time, Dominic walked near King Vilas. His hands were at his back, and wearing a large cloak, attached to his body surface, he looked no less intimidating. Coming beside his father, he found him staring at his sister's back.

"You look stressed, father." Prince Dominic broke the silence and gained his father's attention who earlier was in a daze.

A sleepy smile appeared on the Human Lord's face when he replied, "I'm worried about Alice.."

"She is passing her time with her most favorite activity. Why are you suddenly worried about her?" Dominic wasn't able to guess his father's stress related to his sister.

Meanwhile, King Vilas's eyes never tire from Alice's back. Her hands were moving like perfectionists from each key.

"How..do you feel.." he stopped middle and a sigh escaped his lips when he reminisced about her real identity, "...that you can never witness your daughter's marriage in this lifetime."

Dominic didn't say anything. In his opinion, it was entirely useless because nothing can add more comfort to his father's old wounds. Alice was exceptional from all of them and the most treasured one.

But at the same time, it was very difficult for him to just see the frown that settled on his father's face, "Do not worry, I will always love and cherish her. This kingdom is hers, she belongs to us. Alice will never lack anything, I assure you on this father."

He looked back at his sister who was currently playing with the piano, with so much concentration due to which she failed to sense their presence behind her at a certain distance. "You have my words, the words of Prince Dominic's words, father."

"I know my son is very well accustomed to the circumstances. You will not leave her alone, but I'm afraid Dominic.." King Vilas was stressed and worried more than anything else in this world and Prince Dominic already came to sense it.

"About the Prophecy?" He asked in a whisper so that no one could hear the words, not even Alice.

King Vilas nodded his head but didn't say anything else concerning this. Moreover, his simple nod was enough to make Prince Dominic reminisce.

But at the same time, Dominic had a more important rumor to address rather than remising the past. "I heard that you agreed to… the alliance between both the empires."

"So the news has reached your ears.." a smirk applied on his face and Prince Dominic nodded his head. "It is known to me. Has the uncle agreed to make his daughter marry a vampire?"

"This is for the empire and the peace between the two of us." Here was a short and crisp reply.

His eyes were glittering with undefined mist where he was hiding his inner self and his deep motive. The worry was now replaced with slyness in his mind and Dominic could witness and see how his father must have devised a plan until now.

'As always.. he won't do anything without finding something good enough for himself.' Being a father causes worry and stress for his children but at the same time, he is the lord.

"How will you explain this to others? That you are ready to break years of lineage by bringing and welcoming a vampire in our Royal family." Dominic's sour words didn't impact the King much.

He found no need to revolt against the same, instead, the smile played on his lips. "The lineage is breaking for the welfare of the Kingdom. It will help in the better transport of the clothes we produce. Small producers will benefit from this as well." King Vilas answered, showing that he had already worked on the existing questions.

But Dominic wasn't pleased to hear about the method suggested by the council. His disliking was hard to let go but knowing his father, this must be the final decision.

Being the lord of their empire, he must have taken the interest of the others as well, "Father, I hope you are aware that uncle is planning something cunning behind our back. How can he easily agree to marry his daughter to a vampire? It doesn't seem as easy as we are thinking about the entire scenario."

King Vilas didn't say anything in return for this. Just his eyes omitted coldness when the topic of his brother once again resurfaced in his mind

"We will see what he is capable of then." King Vilas brought his hand behind and lifted his chin. His down shoulders were now high as the Lord of the human empire. Yet his eyes never tore from that of his daughter whose tune started to be less audible, coming to the end of playing her piano notes.

King Vilas whispered in Prince Dominic's ears, "Make sure that Alice doesn't' come in contact with those vampires."

Prince Dominic's eyes moved to his father's eyes and they both communicated with the most in their eyes. Finally, Alice completed her notes and there was chirping in the entire hall from the birds.

Alice was sitting on the stool with her long hair behind the braided into a fishtail. Flowers were embedded into her braid. Her eyes were covered with shine, which appeared due to the continuous applause from Bird's flapping their wings.

Her hands clapped together when she appreciates herself for such a performance. "Looks like you all loved my performance today. Hm..?" She asked the birds who's at her piano's top.

"Chili..." the bird flapped its wings and this made Alice giggle. At the same time, she heard a voice from behind. "It was beautiful Alice."

Turning around, she noticed her father entering the special place, who seems to have heard her playing the notes with so much concentration. "Father…"

She stood on her toes and bowed to King Villas with respect. Vilas nodded his head at her gesture, all that reflected in his eyes was love and admiration for his dear daughter. "Thank you so much, father and brother. I had no idea you are here."

"Sister, do not mind about our presence. We weren't able to hold our legs and came here, to hear the way you played. It is just getting better with each passing day." Prince Dominic commented who stood alongside his father and was eyeing his sister with a precious gaze.

"I just played mother's notes. She has made some of the perfect tunes and I'm already in love with them." She carried the notes which were placed on the self of the piano and a sardonic look through her eyes but somehow she hid it before they could have taken the notice about the same.

Changing the entire conversation into some other direction she asked with politeness, "Your sudden appearance here?"

King Villas cleared his throat to say, "We are going to the Noman's land for the wedding."

A frown settled on her head which made her suddenly puzzled. "Who is getting married? and marriage in Noman's land? Father, that place… is to meet the other emperors and… VA..vampires as well."

Her eyes narrowed when she recalled that Noman's land was constituted by the monsters, named Vampires.

Moreover, her ears had no such information reached until now about any wedding taking place in their state.

Prince Dominic's lips sealed when he heard her deep question and looked at his father, nudging him to answer him, "She is asking you, father.." he whispered in his ears.

King Vilas remained silent for a few seconds but later on answered back "Your younger sister is getting married to the Vampire's crowned Prince, Cyrus."
