Another Plan

King Armen nodded lightly and said as his heart filled with the hope to convince the man in front of him, "I wish King Drayce never to force her to do anything she does not wish to do and fully respect her wishes."

Drayces smirked as he inwardly laughed at King Armen, 'Was it even something to ask for? Isn't it given since  I said I would take care of her nicely? But it seems like he doesn't trust me yet.'

"Fine!" Drayce agreed casually, but from his tone, it sounded as if it was a big favour he was doing to King Armen. 

"Thank you!" 

Relief was evident in his voice.

"When can I take my bride with me?" Drayce asked, "I am sure we will need a wedding ceremony before that."

King Armen agreed, "We will plan accordingly."

"I prefer only concerned people to be there," Drayce commented. 

Drayce's meaning was clear—that he wanted a small wedding and only a few people as witnesses.
