Chapter 5: Soon My Wife...

Both the empires arrived in their respective palace. Knowing about their presence, both the lords decided to have the feast of tonight together while discussing the important matter.

The entire meeting will be done under the strict supervision of the council, to make sure no one eyes another and the entire operation goes without interfering with any third party to infuriate the fight.

At the same time, Alice was shown her chamber in the human's palace. Her maid followed her behind with slow steps. Coming in front of her chamber, she slowly put forward her hand to open it with a little push, when the double door of the wood was wide opened with a greek sound.

The entire room was purely the same, just like the last time she visited this place. The slightest difference which captured her eyes was the rugs and cushion covers which were not exactly the ones.

A large bed in the middle with a couch ahead of it. The opposite was a mirror and a washroom at one of the corners.

"Princess, you had a tough journey. Would you like me to get your bath ready?" Mary asked her politely and in return, Alice simply nodded her eyes without averting her gaze from the large window. Her chamber was in front of the garden which was supposed to be shared by two empires alongside.

Due to the fear from the vampires, humans usually keep themselves locked in their palace without opening the windows, to avoid coming face to face with any monsters. In Fact, her father strictly gave her the command to stay inside and to not show her face until and unless the person is her father or her brother.

Yet her heart was in a restless condition. As her maid left her alone in her chamber, her legs moved near the window to look the luscious green garden down. There were many green bushes to see and a marvelous view. 'Looks like everything has changed. They have arranged and managed a beautiful garden now... Which isn't disliked by vampires anymore…'

At this mere thought, a slight grin appeared on her face. But what gained her eyes was a figure whose back was in her direction. Wearing a royal dress, she was pretty much sure that the person must be a royal too, but on which side?!

'Is he seen from our side?' It was hard to guess since the man's face can't be viewed. Moreover, the entire attire was already suspicious. 'Probably he is.... a vampire. But his hair looks soft as silk.'

Alice found herself getting attracted to the power of the man yet it was absurd to say when she can't witness his face too.

Consequently, her brows lifted up from their original position. Though her eyes never withdrew from the man's back, somehow it made her wonder who exactly he was. What is his status to be in the garden with the entire army?

At the same time, Mary came behind to find her princess lost in a daze, "Princess, your bath is ready. You may take a bath now.". Alice turned around to look at her maid with raised eyebrows, not giving her many ideas of what she just saw, "Oh. Alright."

Mary helped her in changing her clothes, removing the robe and the battleground dress. At last, she immersed herself in the bathtub and closed her eyes to recall the last time she landed herself here when the look of peace and settlement rested on her face.

….

Meanwhile, Cyrus was talking to his soldiers with a glint of sly embedded in his eyes. "Since the Humans have arrived, we have to be extra careful. And this is to improve the strained relationship. To gain their trust, no vampire will wander around the other palace, understood?"

All the soldiers nodded their heads, "As Prince says!"

Keeping his hand on his waist, Cyrus was satisfied with his soldiers' command. As his father told him about his marriage with the Human Lord's niece, he seemed incredibly annoyed.

The thought of marrying a weak human never crossed his heart. But somehow this would be the first time he was finally witnessing a human girl ever since he was born.

'But father found a bride for me.. and that also to be a human. Were my tensions not enough now that I will have to deal with human behavior?' The mere thought crossed his mind to recall how tender the humans are!

But then, a faint smirk spread across his lips to realize his own aim in this all.

At the same time, a fierce gaze stare was fixed on him, he could sense it with his expertise skills. Turning his face in another direction, he noticed a girl standing near the window and looked to be in conversation with someone.

'Who is she? Not someone I have ever seen…' Was the girl his bride to be? He was puzzled but his eyes simply glanced at the long hair on her back.

As the lady's back faced him, this equipped his curiosity to learn about the girl's identity immediately, 'Probably the girl maybe my bride… otherwise, who will look at vampires so brave?'

The same fair smirk started to widen appeared at the thought of having a peak of his wife for the first time, whom he was going to torture for the rest of their lives. Despite knowing that it was her back, still, it was enough to leave him in wonder what she looks like?

"The crown prince, King Almen, is on his way here." One of his confidential soldiers whispered the same in his ears. The same made the smile fade and replaced with grim expressions.

Averting his eyes from the tower he stared at his man with coldness, "Alright. Let him come here then."

Since King Almen was interested in having a conversation with him before the late-night feast, it was easy to believe that it must be related to the alliance, since King Almen doesn't trust him entirely, unlike his second son who looked closer to him.

Within a few minutes, King Almen arrived with his guards backing him. Everyone, including him, bowed to him slightly in respect. "Lord."

"I have something to discuss with Cyrus. Soldiers must retreat to their camp." The order was clear and everyone obeyed as those words melted in his mouth.

Cyrus's eyes twisted since the talks must be serious as always. "Wha happened father?"

"The humans have arrived. I believe the same information has been shared with you till now." In return, Cyrus nodded his head in agreement. "True. I'm aware of the same already and have warned the rest of the soldiers too."

"Good work. But tonight's talks will be crucial. We can't stay here for a long period and have to return back soon. As we discussed earlier, the ceremony will be simple. Engagement and a wedding within two consecutive days. No extraordinary preparation."

Cyrus nodded his head in approval. For the very first time, both of them were agreeing to a decision since neither of them wished to make their kingdom alert of the situation that a human will be arriving in their Kingdom.

"You don't have to worry about that. Keeping your request in mind, I will be looking forward to whatever happens now. Everything will go smoothly in the feast." Hearing the positive reply from Cyrus's side, improved King Almen's perspective towards him.

"Happy to hear that." With this, King Alemn took his leave, leaving Cyrus alone in the shelter under the garden.

Subconsciously, lifting his eyes, he tried to gain a look at his bride but unfortunately, the window was empty.

"Anyways… I will be seeing you very soon my wife..."
