Daniel soon appeared at the roof where he found two soldiers blocking his way with their swords. Passing them a glare, he asked, "His Highness called me.."

Without even looking at him, the soldiers stared at King Vilas who signaled via his hand to let him.

On receiving the orders, the soldier pulled the sword off from the second man's neck.

Stepping close to King Vilas, he came across to see him standing with full calm and composure, to show no level of hint or displeasure at all. He was staring at the view from the Palace, which looked stunning. The front lines were packed with the soldiers of both Kingdoms.

On the other hand, another tent was made for the soldiers to practice their daily swordsmanship.

But the deep silence between them was already adding up to the awkwardness. The winds of coldness were touching their face's warm skin when the voices of swords were heard.

At last, Daniel decided to break this thick quiet between them by saying, "Our soldiers must be practicing on the other hand, isn't it so?"

"Correct. They need to be prepared for the worst. Prediction isn't, since vampires are present here." King Vilas was straight in his words to which Daniel nodded. "I heard the council member arrived."

"Head. The council members have been here for the last few days but today… the head also came to have our words on this alliance." King Vilas didn't object, neither did he try to hide.

Since it was laid all clear in front of Daniel, why would he act unknown to the fact already. However this gained a nod from Daniel's side, yet his anticipation was already at the edge of shattering.

"So.." turning his face to look at the King beside him, he asked, "Have you finally decided to wed Flora with the crown Prince of the Vampires?"

Hearing his aloof voice, King Vilas only gave a positive response by a nod. Since the details weren't asked neither did he present them.

But, at the same time, in the back of his mind, there was already a speech designed which he might need to convince his brother, in case he is unsettled.

"I did what came for the welfare of our homeland. This is the homeland left by our ancestors and I don't want to disrespect them or disappoint them in any way." He was brutally honest but in Daniel's eyes, this was a mere joke.

His eyes shimmered with the cunningness that started to slip in the liquid. A light chuckle escaped his lips when he shook his head, "My plan failed. I know you did that."

"Which kind of plan are you talking about?" King Vilas remained expressionless throughout the conversation. But he knew where her conversation was progressing. Yet he never minds that as well, since his soul already knew the truth.

"You can always try to hide from my eyes, brother."

For the very first time in their talks, did Villas hear him advertising as his brother after a long period? Probably, once he took the throne, those affectionate words severely left Daniel's mouth.

"I have nothing to hide. As a King, is carrying out my responsibilities not my work?"

"You are eligible for that. Neither did I present my dislike of that. But.." his eyes narrowed when the sharp glint passed by, "But what you did… actually.. got my plan tempered. King Vilas, you have touched the wrong thing."

Daniel hopes to see a shift in those eyes of his brothers yet he ends up with disappointment. There was no hint of guilt, no shame, or anything which was already something shocking to see in King Vilas's eyes. "If I had, I would have done anything, I would have openly told you all. I don't know what you are talking about....second man, Daniel. "

While King Vilas's fingers were formed into a fist at the back of his body he never let that fury surfaced on his face. He would be the last person to reveal this until the correct time comes and land on their feet.

Recalling what he found out, about the killing plant that his brother almost made him snap his head at that time. But it was Alice, who controlled him, so was Dominic who managed to make him calm.

Otherwise, this man.. won't be standing beside him to outrageously ask him about his plan being failed.

"That would be good if you aren't in my plans. Otherwise, if I did find your doings.. against me, my wrath will be worth facing." The threat was a clear indication, where Daniel didn't beat around the bush and gave open threat to no one else but King Vilas

Somewhere deep in his mind, he knew that this would be a total waste to some extent. This won't make him have either, but how can he just sit on his leg and let this King destroy all he has achieved all these years.

Neither did Ling Vials continue this overreaction, nor did Daniel let things much affect him. But he did have another talk to do.

"My daughter is getting wedded to that monster. I don't want that." He was straight to his doing, which was quite impressive to King Vilas, "Aren't you patriotic toward your kingdom? If it helps the flourishing, why not?"

"Why don't you send Alice in place of Flora then? You are the King, your daughter can be the one facing this alliance." Daniel snapped when he let his chin high and soldiers upwards, "As her father, I want her to get married to some other King, at least I will benefit from that."

"You mean… King of Flantina, who is already in his late fifties, with many grandchildren and already a Head queen?" King Vials asked, not sounding too surprised in his tone.

Yet this way suited a shock to no one else but Daniel who looked almost shocked and amused with his expressions, "H-how do."

"Daniel, have you forgotten that I'm King? Whatever activities that happen in this place are under my nose ...." With this, King Vilas passed him a smile, but that ever reached up to his ears.

In return, Daniel stood to his place, without moving. The sour expressions turned uglier, "That doesn't change the fact that I don't want her to get married to that monster vampire. They are our enemies.."

"This will flourish the Kingdom. If this can end the hatred between both the kingdoms, why not do it?" In response to this, Daniel had no answers.

His lips were sealed where his eyes only stared at the arms present outside the castle's gate, with unspeakable emotions floating by in his eyes.

Lack of response from his side made King Vilas understand that, if he doesn't wish things to proceed, then doesn't mean he will ultimately stop it as well. After all, this man doesn't care less for his daughter at all….

"This wedding will eventually happen, Second man Daniel. Consider this as a sacrifice for the kingdom…"

The words made a scoff to leave from Daniel's lips where he nodded his head. Turning around, he was ready to walk out of the roof, but before that, he halted in his steps.

Instead of completely going out, he turned around to look at his brother with his determined eyes of cleverness, "I hope this results well. But remember that, this alliance will never have me in its favor…never…let us see how you commit a mistake, His Highness…"
