Chapter 424: Moving forward (1)
"You’ve denied taking other women by your side but you’ll take this one?" Julius questioned, appalled by the proposition Tobias made. He pushed for Tobias to take more women into the palace after there was no heir, but he would not allow Annalise to be the first of the women accepted.
Tobias sighed, covering his face with the palm of his hand because of his court’s stupidity. They were all aware that Annalise and Rafael were a couple. It only made sense to have Annalise wed Rafael as a symbol there would be trust that the truce would not be broken as the two remained married.
"She will get married to Rafael," Mark spoke up to save Tobias from losing his mind. "I am not against this since the king has made it clear he will take no other women and as far as we know, you don’t have a younger brother for the princess to wed."
"I do not," Annalise replied, but even if she did, she wouldn’t have allowed her brother to marry the princess.
She wasn’t thrilled that her marriage to Rafael was brought up at the truce meeting. It was something she said she wanted to avoid, but they could not get around it now.
It was the only solution to make some people feel relieved. Those who didn’t know about her relationship with Rafael would think it was the perfect idea to have the knights around her people.
Annalise hoped they wouldn’t go further into detail about her wedding and start planning it for her. It might surprise most but she wanted to experience being proposed to. Be surprised by the moment Rafael would pick to do it and then share the surprising news with her family.
Then she also wanted to get married at the border not here around people she didn’t care for. Around people he wanted Herbert to bite.
’I should get a pet with venom,’ Annalise thought. ’One that would listen to my orders and sneak into someone’s room to bite them. Why one when I can have a group of them?’
