Chapter 192: To Love Is To Be Vulnerable Part 1
The Western Kingdom was ruled by a young king who rose to power not by his own, but with the help of an exceptional human wife, his queen, the woman who knocked sense into his head that was harder thana a rock.
They were wed under whimsical orders by the late king himself. And compared to their relationship now, at the beginning, it was far from what one would call a harmonious and loving union.
There was no love involved in an arranged marriage. Most especially if it was between a bastard vampire prince and a human slave.
No- there was nothing one could say that made the match right.
The young couple tried to plot against each other the very moment they laid their eyes on the other. They bickered, retorted, and threatened one another without a tinge of remorse in their hostile tongues and piercing gazes.
Their servants would have sworn that the only thing the two shared in common was the blazing rage in their hearts and the undeniable desire to kill each other.
It does go to say that their relationship has significantly changed since then up to now. The human slave turned out to be of royal blood, a warrior princess of the conquered Northern Kingdom. She was powerful, but had her own flaws and fears hidden under a strong facade.
The bastard prince saw his wife for who she truly was, and hell, she slapped the senses out of him. He began to develop as an individual, and with it their relationship as well.
In the course of working their differences and finding a common ground, they ended up working together to achieve one goal - to get revenge on the people that have wronged them.
And now, as they plastered themselves on the throne, they face another challenge thrown in their face by those same people they were bent on taking revenge on - to provide a royal heir.
Elys held her breath as Aleksander’s eyes settled and stared back at her. She couldn’t deny that his eyes were definitely mesmerizing in both silver and gold, but she had to admit her favorite would probably be the shimmer in both of them.
