MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
Everyone was ready, just at 2pm the car horn sounded, being punctual was a virtue that the king had, the door opened and Alexander came out elegant, with his gold watch, his chain with the Dracul pendant in the shape of a dragon on his way heading for the front door.
When they were in the living room, Martha saw that he was elegant, handsome and smiling at her.
-Gentlemen Good afternoon, well I made an appointment at this time to give Martha a surprise, so I want you to listen to what I am going to say: (he stood in front of Martha), I Alexander Damian Collins ask you Martha to get married with me
Martha's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that.
-I…Alexander…I…accept…accept to be your wife! - I answer all nervous
Martha's parents were speechless, the King proposed to their daughter
Alexander put an engagement ring on her finger, it was made of diamonds but with a ruby on it, he looked at it and they kissed, Anthony also remained static in amazement and thought "she really is going to marry the king... it was true... it was true ».
-Hahaha My sister is marrying, she is marrying!,…she is marrying King Dracula!
His parents looked at him surprised with what they heard from their son, Alexander and Martha too
-What did you say Anthony?... King Dracula?!
Anthony realized that he was reckless and did not know what to say.
Alexander looked at Martha and said
-It is better to speak the truth my love
-But my parents, they're going to be scared!...I don't want to lose you Alexander
The king looked at Martha's parents who were thoughtful of what Anthony said
-I think you should know the truth about me..
- Right?, that truth?. We already know that he is the king of Transylvania
-My full name is Alexander Damian Collins…Dracula
-Dracula?...are you Dracula? Does Dracula exist?...and isn't he a legend from the books?
-It's not a lie!, I was Count Dracula first then I conquered many cities and kingdoms and now I am King Dracula, I am also the King of Vampires
-Vampires? If Dracula is a vampire, but...I haven't seen his fangs...it's a joke right?
-No, it's not a joke and yes… I have fangs!
He opened his mouth and the enormous fangs he has were seen.
Martha's mother jumped out of her chair when she saw those huge fangs, she had a startle attack.
-A vampire! It's Dracula!…a vampire…I'm scared!
-I am a vampire, but I love Martha and I would never harm her family, Martha and Anthony already knew that for a long time
-Did you already know that he is a vampire? Martha, Anthony, is that true?
"Yes, mom, that's why I forgot to say King Dracula," Anthony said.
-But mom, dad you already know him, he's the same as always
Martha's parents sat down, calmed down, and her father said
-Alexander or…Dracula, I don't know what to call him, what matters to me is that I know that he truly loves my daughter and she loves you and the only thing I want is for her to be happy, so we will never oppose the union of you
-Thank you!
"Even though I'm afraid, I want my daughter to be happy and I know she'll be happy with you," said Martha's mother.
Martha and Alexander looked at each other, smiled, hugged each other and levitated with her, her parents saw that in amazement, then they went down to the ground.
-Ah, you have not seen anything, Alexander does magic, he really does magic -said Anthony
Alexander looked at him and smiled, Martha nudged him.
-Okay Anthony is excited then, come here
He went to stand near him and Alexander said
-We're back!
And there was scarlet smoke, they both gaped, they came back with some bottles of champagne from the Mall
-But…but…they were there and they show up here with those bottles
-Dad I already told you, it works magic!, hahaha
They looked at each other and smiled
-I want to tell you something, I would like to get married in Transylvania, it is a tradition and I would also like you to live with us in the Castle and no longer work, you would be the king's in-laws
-Will we go live in Transylvania?, us?
"Come on, parents, we'd be close to Martha," Anthony said.
-Okay, okay, we're going to Transylvania!
Martha ran to hug them
-I love you, as I love that man standing there, my beautiful vampire!
Alexander smiled, now without hiding his fangs
-Look here I have lawyers who would be in charge of selling or renting your house, as you want
-Okay and… when will the trip be?
-Tomorrow afternoon, I made my private plane come
-Are we leaving so fast?, bah it doesn't matter... we're leaving, I'm going to pack
-Alexander thank you for taking my family with me
-I know how much they love you and I would never take their love away from you, besides I like my in-laws, hehe
-Alexander… that's why I love you!
-I love you more
-Alexander you... do you have more family there?
-Yes, my father and my sister
"You won't object to our marriage, will you?"
They can't, they shouldn't.
Why can't they shouldn't?
-I am the king, no one else decides about my life… only me!
-Oh, that scared me, I dreamed of an older man who looked like you and a serious, angry woman who also looked like you
-Ah, it's my father and my sister, hehehe
They sat on a large sofa, held hands and kissed.
-Love, I would like to go celebrate our engagement somewhere,
-Hey, my brother knows more about places to dance
-Could we take my parents?
-Ask them love, I wait for them I have plenty of time
Martha ran to invite her parents to celebrate the upcoming marriage and they accepted and went to change.
I go down to sit with Alexander and wait for his family, while they kissed.
They went out to an exclusive nightclub, Alexander said something to the guard and they all went in, they gave everyone a table.
Martha's parents saw how Alexander danced and smiled, a serious man approached the king and said something to him and he nodded.
-Excuse me love, I'm going to talk to someone
He got up and went with that man, Anthony was curious and followed them, they went out the back door and there were at least 20 men all elegant outside, one of them smiled when he saw Alexander and approached him. Anthony saw that his eyes were yellow and they were shining, they shook hands and began to say something to each other.
Anthony tried to listen but did not understand the language they were using, but he saw that the other men also had yellow eyes and they began to shine, so he listened and understood what they were saying.
-Dracula, you know very well that we are here and that you were going to choose one of our species for your wife and you chose that human we saw you, you have broken your word!
-Lucius, you know very well that my father made the pact, I didn't, my blood does not mix with anyone and I am free to choose whoever I want as my wife.
-But it was a family pact
-I already said… I didn't make the pact! It was my father, it was also when I was 117 years old and the one who was going to be my partner died, so you have no right to claim me
-Yes, I have, because my other sister was still by blood and you had to take her as your wife.
-Very sorry!…. when Sasha died, the pact ended…besides, you killed her!…or you don't remember
-I…it was an accident!
