“Nothing happened to me, Mother,” Alora answered.
“Well, your daughter could have been dead if I hadn’t happened to cross through that path,” Magnus pronounced. Alora decided to wear the blindfold when Magnus held her hand, thus stopping her from doing so.
“I am grateful for His Highness’s benevolent help to my daughter,” Rhea expressed her gratitude. Madam Aubrey too thanked the Prince as she felt it was the right time to lessen his anger toward her.
“Norman, why did you go to my father, the King? You felt that I would stay quiet and do nothing,” Magnus said and arched his brow at him.
“According to the rules, the vampires aren’t allowed to intervene in the matters of the humans. My second daughter’s marriage is near and I couldn’t come to Elmswood. That’s why I had to go to the palace. I apologize for my mistake,” Norman explained while asking for forgiveness.
“I have no intention to forgive you,” Magnus said.
The servant served the water to Alora, who kept her eyes down and thanked her. While drinking the water, she heard Magnus’s words directed at her father.
“I know I’ve made a mistake and I’m ready to rectify it,” Norman then stated.
“Norman, you are alive because I cannot hurt Alora,” Magnus cleared him. Alora’s father pursed his lips together as he was now terrified.
Alora put the water glass on the table and leaned back on the sofa. She whispered to Magnus, “Your Highness, I think we should leave.”
She held the edge of his long coat’s sleeve, urging him to take her away.
Magnus realized it was time to ask for what he decided to leave Elmswood.
“Norman Wilson, I want your eldest daughter’s hand in marriage,” Magnus pronounced.
Everyone in the living room left astonished. Alora looked straight at his face, wondering if she heard him right.
“I am kind of fancied by your daughter,” Magnus continued and turned his head to look into Alora’s eyes. “Her eyes are something, which made me fall for her. I intend to marry Alora Wilson and make her my wife,” he stated, causing Alora to stop blinking.
“Mrs. Wilson, what do you think of my proposal?” Magnus asked Alora’s mother, who was still in shock. “You have such a precious gem in your house. I will keep her like a princess,” he stated.
Venus could not help but feel a tinge of jealousy. She couldn’t fathom how Alora made a place in Magnus’s heart. Most importantly, how could he even look at her?
“Pardon me for intruding like this,” Venus said, “but my sister is cursed. The Prince will surely get better proposals than my sister.” She didn’t refrain from humiliating Alora.
“Apologize to Alora,” Magnus said with a stern tone as he directed his sharp gaze at her.
Venus got confused when Madam Aubrey apologized to Alora on Venus’s behalf.
“Did you not hear me? Apologize to Alora. If you won’t, I will make sure no one ever marries you,” Magnus warned Venus this time. “Get on your knees and apologize to my Alora,” he affirmed.
Venus gulped and she apologized to Magnus for making him angry. “I’m in my wedding gown, so I cannot-” she couldn’t complete her sentence as Magnus’s voice roared.
“Get on your knees,” Magnus pronounced. “Whoever calls her a curse, I’ll make sure to kill that person. So, better watch your tongue before saying anything to the woman I cherish,” Magnus clarified to all of them.
Alora couldn’t believe her ears. The person, who fell for her was the Vampire Prince, Magnus. He wanted her to be his wife, and the thought of it surged happiness within her.
Venus got on her knees and apologized to Alora.
“Do you forgive your sister?” Magnus asked as he met Alora’s eyes, which were intently staring at him.
Promptly, Alora got out of her thoughts. “Yes, I do,” she said.
Norman, Rhea, and Madam Aubrey were stunned to see this sight. A vampire was taking a stand for Alora. Rhea knew this was the man, who would never let her daughter fall into danger. He would burn the world for Alora.
“I’m ready to give Alora’s hand to Prince Magnus,” Rhea said with a smile and took a step forward. “Alora, do you wish to marry the Prince?” Despite that, she once asked for Alora’s choice.
“You cannot leave me. You promised me last night,” Magnus reminded her by whispering in Alora’s ear.
Rhea fiddled with her fingers, hoping for a positive response from Alora. She truly wanted her daughter to live a happy life and she could sense it would be with Magnus only.
“Yes. I would love to marry His Highness Prince Magnus,” Alora said with a tiny smile on her lips while gazing into his eyes.
“Norman, prepare for your first daughter’s marriage. We will get married tomorrow. Also, I keep her here for a day, and I don’t wish to hear anything wrong happening to her,” Magnus stated. It was a kind of threat to all of them to treat Alora well for the hours she was in the Wilson’s house.
“Won’t tomorrow be too early, Your Highness?” Norman asked.
“I think the same,” Alora stated. She wanted Venus’s marriage to happen first.
“Then, shall we marry today?” Magnus arched his eyebrow.
Alora’s lips quivered and she pursed them together after thinking of no right response.
“Tomorrow will be fine, Your Highness. However, I have a question. How can my daughter look into your eyes?” Norman agreed to their early marriage before asking a question, which disturbed him for a while.
“Because she is my bride,” Magnus answered.
Norman felt that a big burden from his shoulder would get off once Alora was married to the prince. Moreover, it was a rare sight to witness a human’s and a vampire’s marriage. Definitely, people would see him with more respect.
“Then, we shall make the arrangements for tomorrow. May I know Your Highness where will the marriage happen?” Norman inquired in his humble tone.
“It will happen in the palace. I’ll send shortly the details of it,” Magnus said. “I’ll send the wedding dress for Alora in a while. Old Grandma made sure not to say anything bad to Alora. You have a few more days to live, so live them with comfort. Do you understand?” He asked Madam Aubrey since she was the one, who affected Alora’s mental health the most.
Madam Aubrey couldn’t even lie about her good feelings toward Alora. She just nodded her head.
