Chapter 310: Like a queen figure
After everyone had finished their breakfast, Alaric cleared his throat, drawing the attention of those still seated around the table. "I would like to inform Father and Mother that I’ve decided to go on a short trip with my wife to Niveria," he announced, his voice calm and resolute.
The announcement was met with expressions of delight and approval from everyone at the table.
"That’s wonderful to hear, Alaric!" Margaret exclaimed, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "I’ve been telling you to take some time to go out with your wife for such a long time," she added, a note of satisfaction in her voice.
His father, King Esmond, nodded in agreement, a proud smile on his face. "It’s a good decision, son. For how long will you two stay in Niveria?" he asked.
"For a month, Father," Alaric replied.
"Hmm. Enjoy your time together," Esmond stated with a nod, his tone warm but tinged with a hint of authority. "However, you should go after your eldest brother gets married," he added, glancing pointedly at Izaak. "He has decided to marry a human, just like our Magnus did."
"That’s strange, Father. Izaak used to absolutely hate humans," Magnus said with a grin, his eyes sparkling with a mixture of amusement and curiosity.
"Don’t start teasing me," Izaak shot back, a hint of defensiveness in his voice. "That was all in the past. Now, we are more open to the inclusion of humans within vampire society. It allows both kinds to live well together."
Esmond’s frown deepened, his discomfort with the idea evident. "The vampires don’t want to welcome humans into our society. It’s crucial to remember that our very existence was once threatened by humans, who formed vampire hunter groups," he explained, his voice heavy with the weight of history.
