Chapter 180: My pure thoughts
Alaric left the room, leaving Magnus and Izaak behind. He wished to be alone for some time.
"Alaric is indeed a fool. He agreed to marry Scarlet when he doesn’t even like her. His mind is filled with Ember. Father never forced any of us for the marriage, but to Alaric he gave such an offer, which he couldn’t refuse," Izaak complained, letting out his frustration. He picked up the wine cup and chugged it down in an instant.
"Because Brother Alaric will never forget Ember if he stays unmarried. Father found it the best opportunity to bring Alaric out of one-sided love," Magnus shared his father’s thoughts with Izaak.
"Love isn’t forced," Izaak said.
"I know. But Brother Alaric needs a force marriage according to Father. If he can live happily, then I have no problem. Ember never even liked our brother as a friend that came to him with such a request," Magnus said, feeling angry. "She was aware that Brother Alaric would sacrifice himself for her happiness," he said with a frown on his forehead.
Izaak couldn’t agree less to his statement. "What if there was no way? Alaric would have taken that curse on him. And I am sure he would not even have regretted about it," he murmured.
"That’s how Brother Alaric is," Magnus remarked, "A good-hearted vampire."
"Which is hard to find," Izaak stated.
"Yes." Magnus finished the wine and set the cup on the table before him. "I am relieved that Brother Alaric will stay safe now. I shall take my leave now. Alora must be waiting for me." He rose to his feet and pivoted on his boots.
"I have to tell you something," Izaak pronounced.
Magnus slightly turned to glance at him. "What is it?" His curiosity piqued.
