King Aiden POV
I appear on the sofa. But I saw her smirks. What’s she up to? She fumes at me with that stare again and this time I don’t think I can escape the fire.
It was so closed and unexpected, and before I knew it the fire caught me on aware.
“Ahhhhh” I shouted running around in the room. But only to see her laughing. Didn’t she have any sympathy In her?
I was able to put out the fire with my power.
“Tell me where’s my mum? or you won’t like me at all” She stood up walking towards me.
She’s so stubborn than I expected. What am I even saying? How can I expect a tomboy to be soft-hearted?
“And what will you do?”I asked, and she gave me a fierce look.
“Where is my mum?”She Thundered.
“I will tell you when we are married. Don’t be stubborn, your mum will be healed only if you marry me.
Do you know how many years she has spent in the hospital lying lifeless? “I asked.
“Shut up, she wasn’t lying lifeless. She is still breathing. How can you wish her death? How can you say such a thing?
I love my mum so much and she’s my priority. I want to save her with my life but how will I do that if I got married?
I will have to focus on the man’s family. And you are not even my type of man” She breaks down in tears.
So she even has the type of man? Imagine a tomboy is talking about that , I feel pity for her right now. I feel like crying. But I just need to be strong.
That’s our destiny, it can’t be changed either can it be rewritten. I have come too far to back out.
Even if it will cost me my last breath, I will protect you and my people.
“If you want your mum to be cured then just do as I say, marry me. That’s all” I said and appeared on the sofa, I crossed my legs on each other, I am acting cold so she wouldn’t be in suspense, I really feel sorry for her.
Making her reckless is the prophecy. What a prophecy!
“Don’t you have any human sympathy! how will she be okay if she’s not in the hospital to receive proper treatment? That’s the only way she can be okay. Please just spare us. She will be okay with only me by her side” She cried, and I couldn’t get hold of my emotions.
“Stop! Will you just do as I say? Marry me, that’s just it and then you can take care of your mum. Just marry me. Is that too much to ask?”I shouted angrily when I couldn’t hold my feeling anymore.
“Please, I can fall at your feet if you want me to” She sits on the floor helpless.
“You have to marry me. And come with me to South Kore because that’s where your mum is right now. And I can’t bring her back. Do you want to be with her? You want to be there for her. Do you want to see her again? then you will have to marry me.
I gave you 3 hours, you should make your decision. Is either you leave with me or I leave alone, but remember you will never be able to set your eyes on your mum again.
Here is paper and a pen. I already signed mine. You should sign yours as well, and you will become my wife. The grand celebration will be held at home “I said and dropped the paper and pen right Infront of her.
She glared at me looking so desperate. I am sorry, I wish you were able to read my thought but I blocked it.
I will not hurt you, I am not as bad as you think I am right now. Forgive me.

The palace hospital
“Her sickness is incurable, how will we inform the king. I can’t even get to the root of her life. Something doesn’t seem clear about her”The White witch doctor said to her a fellow doctor.
“We’ve even run several tests on her, but no sickness shown, That’s when I figure it’s not normal sickness” She replied.
“Where did the king find her? and why did he bring her here by himself?” The first doctor asked.
“I think you should ask him. I don’t know your business with that, better wish the king didn’t hear you”The second one said.
“I never say something bad. We will wait for him to come and check on her. So we can tell him what we saw”The first of them said.
“Twinkle, Twinkle” Her mother’s faint voice called out.
“Who’s twinkle. Is she someone closed to her?”The second of them asked.
“Why ask me, we were both here when the king brought her two days ago. So how am I supposed to know who’s twinkle or the connection between them?”She replied and check her purse.
“Maybe we should seek the great powers, that is the only way to heal her. I have tried my power but is not working.
And no other person has the power of healing the sick completely except both of us.
We can’t only heal the king. But hers is out of hand” She said checking her heartbeat.
“What of princess Avalon the king’s sister, she also has that power of healing people. I think she should be able to help us”The second of them said.
“You made a good point Dr. Lina,” Dr. Bettie said.
“Do you call for me, I heard my name” Princess Avalon appears.
“Yes my Lord, we wanted to seek your help. Only the three of us have the power to heal in this country, but we can’t heal this woman and we don’t even know who she’s. The king brought her here” Dr. Lina said and bow slightly.
“She must be someone close to his second wife. And why will he bring someone here without telling me about it? I was in this palace and I never knew about this. And that dark witch will be aware. We will sort this later” Princess Avalon thought.
“Why are you bothered about who she’s, the king brought her here and your work is to heal her. I think you both went to study medicine in school.
But I did study something else. I don’t know how to use Tescoscope like you guys. So why do you think I can heal her?”She asked furiously.
“You can, we only try to modernize our powers, you are even more powerful than us, you can do it,” Dr. Bettie replied.
“I can’t, please don’t mention my name again. I will leave now” She said and disappeared.
“She has changed ever since she canceled her wedding. She has become cold. She is not like the king at all. Did she want this woman to die?”Dr. Lina said worriedly.

King Aiden POV
I feel like something bad will happen tonight.
“Aiden” I heard my name. That tomboy just called me with such much disrespect, not even king. I appeared to her.
“You called for me, hope all is well?”I asked seen how tired she looked after weeping badly.
“I will marry you, but I have conditions. you will have to promise me all this”She replied and raised her head.
“Okay, what are your conditions?”I asked.
“Since you are desperate to marry me, then you will have to do all this.
Firstly, I must see my mum alive as you promise me that she will be okay.
Secondly, you will never touch me, which means nothing Will happened between us living as husband and wife.
Thirdly, any day you go against this promise, and if anything horrible happens with my mother, or you ever try to mate with me by force. We will cut the ties.
You have to swear on my life, swear on my life” She cried covering her ears.
What is she saying? Won’t mate with her, no that’s not possible. What about the prophecy.
I think everything will be so easy but everything is getting more complicated.
Backward
The prophecy continues, after you both get married, you must mate with her, that’s when your soul will be conjured and she will gain all the Powers to save your people.
She might gain power but not until she mates with you will she be able to save herself. But if that doesn’t happen, there’s a way out.
She will not get the effectiveness of her power and if she used it to overcome the enemies like that, she will die, but only you can save her, is either you die or she dies.
Fast forward
I think I will have to agree, there’s another option. I can die in her place and then she can continue to live her normal life. This is like dying for my people. So this means that I will only live for a limited months.
“I accept all your conditions. And I swear I won’t go against all this”I swore. I just need to do this. Since is the only way out.
She signed the papers and handle them over to me.
“You will have to change your dresses now. You are my wife legally now. So you can change your cloth. You can’t behave like a tomboy in the palace” I say and took the papers. She held my hand.
“Love is not only on a sheet of paper, I can never love you. I think I hate you more”She slapped me. First-time I was slapped. My face is really burning right now. The heat is unbearable.

Unknown POV
“Make sure he drinks this earlier tomorrow morning, that will kill him slowly,” A voice said.
“But what about her, the woman in the hospital. The mother of that girl. Is she going to die?”Another voice asked.
. “Haaaaaaahaaa, She shall die. They will all die and everything will be ours, I mean yours”The first voice said.
“I will surely be free to do as I wish, he won’t be alive to witness the war that will happen. And everything shall be ours”The second voice said, and they laughed wickedly.

Princess Avalon room
“Brother you must drink this. You must drink it before the grand celebration in which you will bond with your new wife. A new starting and a new beginning.
Dylan might be a hindrance trying to give this to him.
But you have to drink this by all means”Princess Avalon thought roaming around in her room.
Lemme see the kitchen. She opened the book in Infront of her. “Everywhere is clear” she smiled.
