There was complete Five-minute silence in the room. You could easily hear the heavy breathing of everyone. Everyone was so lost in their thoughts that they didn"t saw a faint smile on Mr Taylor"s mouth except his son Rune Taylor.He was intrigued after seeing his father"s smile. Of all the people in the world only he was the only one capable enough to understand his father and that too because he had followed his father like a shadow from the beginning of his childhood.He knew that his father will never do anything to hurt his daughters but the smile he just gave was the smile he used to display when he used to play a masterstroke in his strategy. So what it is, Why did his father smile so slyly.He was in deep thoughts .He had a doubt but it was an absurd doubt.He was shaken to the core when he thought about his doubt and a cold sweat broke on his nape and his expression changed abruptly but before anyone could notice it he became calm and composed. For the time being he just needs to wait patiently for his father"s word. Internally he was praying that the absurd doubt may remain absurd forever and may never become true.Regarding the matter,I discussed it with lord Arthur and he gave a very nice suggestion for the problem.
What?both the girls shrieked in anxiety.
Mr. Taylor chucked,"well he told me to arrange a meeting for both of you with Knight Vladis and let both of you decide who wants to marry him and even if both of you don"t want to marry him, there is no problem. Although the royal proposal was of betrothal but Reinstle empire always gave importance to consensual marriage so there is no compulsion to follow it.
Camy and Ceil were both feeling grateful for this act of kindness shown by Lord Arthur. They both knew that although the Reinstle empire favors consensual marriage but still denying a royal proposal was a sin. They were indebted to Lord for not holding a grudge against their family. Thus they happily agreed for a meeting with Knight Vladis.On the other hand Rune was tensed,he very well knew about the Lord"s character. He himself was not a saint but that man was on a whole different level. He knew that the lord will not give mercy to anyone unless he has something in his mind. Both camy and ceil went to their respective rooms for sleep but with so much in their mind it would be a long night.Mrs Taylor to went in his bed happily. Only Mr Taylor and Rune remained.
Why? Rune asked.
I don"t know?son
You know how he is.He won"t let this go so easily father.
I know , son
He promised me in front of the council that he will not interfere in this marriage proposal .It doesn"t concern him.Mr Taylor said.
It doesn"t concern him but it concerns his best friend Vladis .I have a doubt in this , Rune replied.
He will not do anything in this matter.Vladis marriage is of no concern to him.What harm can our sweeties do to them, not to forget he can easily kill them or get a new wife if he wants.So i don"t believe he will do anything to our sweeties.Mr. Taylor said grimly.
Rune was not convinced with his father but he decided t keep his mouth shut.It was now clear to him that there was going something behind the dark and if he want to protect his sweeties he needs to find about it but he needs to be wary of everyone including his father. Everyone in the power was tainted including himself but he wanted to save his sweeties at nay cost.
Three days pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye and the day to meet the mighty Knight came finally. Camy and ceil both were unwilling to meet him but Mrs Taylor didn"t give in this time.
Sweeties,are you ready.You will be late and men"s don"t like lazy girls.Come on . Camy ,Ciel are you coming downstairs or i should come there,Mr Taylor was frustrated with both of her daughter"s antics.She was already aware that they didn"t want to meet Knight Vladis but for the sake of royal proposal they had to meet today ,at any cost.
Ciel the place where both of you are going to meet Knight Vladis is a scenic location where you can find tasty local cuisine,you sure you don"t want to go there.
Ceil was now in a dilemma to go or not to go. In the end, she decided to go. She had pictured a perfect plan on her mind that was to greet the mighty knight and tell him that she has no interest in him and then she will drag camy with her to eat tasty food. With this plan in her mind she grinned and happily went to her mother downstairs. Mother quick , quick tell me .How am i looking?
Just like a princess.ceil had a pet.i.te and long frame and since today she was wearing a white straight long dress with silver ornaments and it enhanced her natural beauty.She was just like a sunlight, warm and fuzzy.
Camila it"s alright if you don"t want to go but as a mother it"s my duty to tell you about good future husband prospects. Vladis is one of the five fearless swordsmen in our county with an extreme level of knowledge in spells.You sure ,you don"t want to meet this strapping young man.
Camy was a curious girl and after listening to all these compliments which her mother gave to Vladis made her curious about him so reluctantly Camy came downstairs and agreed to meet him. Just like ceil she was also wearing a white chiffon long dress but because camy had a more curvy body the dress made her look seductive and gave a scholar look. She too was dressed in silver ornaments and gave a s.e.xy appeal.
Mrs Taylor was very happy seeing both of her daughters looking so nice. They both looked like her shadows .okay since you both have decided to meet him on your own accord then you will bear full responsibility if you mess up anything.Don"t you dare to forget that he Knight commander and is a respected man in the whole empire.Soon they both entered inside a carriage and went ahead to meet the almighty knight commander.
