"This is accurate, for both sides."
Hira took a sip of her drink, her eyes on Saya.
Saya looked at her blankly, did she see them last night? She did, certainly did.
"Lady Saya, I don't think there could be a tie tighter than this." An old man with a red beard said.
All eyes moved on the laughing Hira, she expected this.
"Have you agreed Hira? She is your niece." Another elder pointed out.
"Of course, I Do!"
Rohan passed by Ryan in a flash of light, he was as red as beetroot. He disliked it.
"Rohan!" Saya ran after her son.
She went to their chamber, knocking on the door that slammed back on her face. Her heart was thumping, about to tear her chest and run away from there.
Grabbing the handle she clenched it, no, it was locked! How could she forget her son for a moment? His feelings mattered more than her life, but saving his life was also her priority.
"Rohan, please open the door."
Her forehead landed on the wood, tears left her eyes. She barely could release herself from her husband's death but then she lost her father. She had been trying to be strong but when it came to Rohan, she couldn't control it. She was worried about him. He was addicted to his father and after missing him, he wasn't that cheerful and feisty boy he was once. He witnessed his father's death with his eyes, a travail he had gone through and she didn't expect him to overcome it this fast.
"You know that I love no one but you, let me explain."
Inside the chamber, Rohan was sitting on the windowsill, watching the backyard, from there he could see the fountain and the apple trees where he used to play with his father. He didn't want to lose his mother too. If she accepted that marriage, she had to go with that man.
His head rested on the glass, his black hair laid on his forehead and his dim black eyes shut down.
"I am sorry, mother."
He whispered to himself.
Behind the door, Ryan watched the woman who was pleading with her son.
"Milady, may I solve it with him? Like two men?"
Saya blushed, what was he doing here? She turned around and pointed to the door. The gulp in her throat couldn't allow her to speak a word in reaction. Her son's broken heart has been debilitating her.
"Don't worry, Milady! I will do my best to convince him. This is a vital tie and I understand your situation. You have my words."
"You are a good person, Lord James."
Ryan wished that himself being the second prince of Velator never bring misery to these people from now, he had a huge responsibility, a vast obligation that he could not neglect.
Saya left there, her fingers were numb and a chill of nervousness was pricking her back. She went back to Hira, to find out what rendered the woman for her. Her aunt had something in her mind and was pursuing it before permitting her to discover about it first. She hated to be surprised all of a sudden because looking for trouble with Velator court wasn't a cup of tea that she could have, it could burn her and her people. A single misstep could bring malice outcomes.
Did she think it can cause bliss for their people?
Ryan stood there, taking a deep breath. He could comprehend that the child had thought he wanted to steal his mother from him but literally, he did not mean to separate them, not willing to intervene in her maternal affair.
"Hey, pal! We couldn't solve it between us, I didn't have a chance to ask you first. Would you give me a second one?"
Inside the room, Rohan raised an eyebrow. What did he want to solve with him when the elders already made the decisions? Entirely, they ignored him because he was a child but she was his mother, his precious jewelry.
Ryan could not give up simply and step back. This boy would be a grown man one day and he didn't want to plant a hatred in his heart that could root through time.
"Listen, I am between a dilemma and as you know, your mother is a perfect woman. I promise that this tie can bring your people what they truly deserve."
The lock clicked and Rohan opened the door for him.
"I think we can talk like two men."
Rohan already heard Hira who was talking to others. His mother had many suitors but he disliked all of them. Hopefully, she had rejected the proposals. But he knew it was all because of him, her young son.
"Yes. Thank you for letting me in."
Ryan walked inside the chamber. The rug on the floor was beautiful, the flowers pattern was saying that it came from Parsa land. A table and some chairs around it, a sofa and a bookshelf.
The interior design was simple, only a painting was on the wall. Four people were illustrated. The leader, her father, her husband, and a very young boy standing in front of his father.
"Were you too close with your father?"
"I was. You look close to your father too."
Ryan sourly smiled. "I do, but I grew up without a mother to pamper me. It was all my father."
"Is she dead?"
Ryan looked at him, what should he say?
"No, she left me. My whole life I thought she was dead but then I realized she left me because of having more power."
The young boy pouted, regretted asking the question.
"Do you like my mother?"
"I don't know your mother too much, and as you heard this is a forced marriage for power. I can't lie to you."
Rohan nodded, his honesty was priceless.
"Will you love and protect her?"
"I can promise this, I am not going to take her from you."
"Is it for killing the demons?"
"It is."
Rohan went mute for a while, thinking that her mother was a hero and needed a strong man beside her, someone like his father.
"I accept this marriage but don't forget your words, if you make her cry or sever this tie, remember that I will be a grown man one day and I will avenge if you break your words."
