Chapter 65: Confrontation
"King Nouflex we will take our leave now." She coldly said.
Cutting a part of the cake and placing it in my mouth, I told her with a smile, not bothering to look towards her. "Leave? Im going to disapoint you but you are not leaving with that box in your hands."
Placing the fork on the table, I turned towards her still smiling. "It's either that, or you will be carried feet first."
Taking a step back, she nervously asked. "W-what is the meaning of this? Didn't we have an agreement?"
"We did have an agreement, but you lied to me." My smile turning into a sarcastic sad face. "Im displeased Lara, very displeased."
'So he knew?!' Lara thought.
"Gabiru, take the box from her." With a swift movement, he took the box from her hands and placed it on the table next to me. Not even those mages could do nothing.
"Here, Nouflex-sama." He bowed.
"Hey you...!" One the guards stepped to the front.
*Crack*
The head of the royal guard was now upside down. Gabiru easily snapped his head. It is true that these guards are strong but compared to the guardians of the castle they are nothing.
"Who gave you the right to speak? Anyways, lets continue our friendly chat Lara shall we?" The smile quickly returned to my face.
"Stay behind me princess!" The one mage left protected the princess by placing her behind him.
"D-do you think you can handle my fathe..." Interupting the princess, the maid spoke.
'Should I do it now...?' Lara's maid though and hesitated for a few seconds before she finaly gathered her resolve.
"You majesty Nouflex, I have an offer for you!" She expressed.
"An offer? Is there even an offer that may recover our previous relation? Anyway im all ears." I wasn't even bothering to look at them as I placed another piece of cake in my mouth, while Cloud was digging in, not paying attention to his surroundings.
-Flash back-
After the conversation between the Carabiana king and his daughter about the dragon kingdom and Nouflex, and right after Lara left the throne room, her first maid was called upon to meet the king.
In the dimly lit chamber, the maid came into the room, with a firm yet weary expression. "Come closer." The king beckoned.
Emily approached with a respectful bow, her eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight and she knelt once close enough. "Im here to serve his majesty." She said.
The king's voice resonated with a hint of gravity as he spoke. "Our princess embarks on a crucial journey to the Dragon Kingdom. We seek peace and alliance, but should they decline, you carry a vital message."
He paused, choosing his words carefully. "Tell their king that we extend an offer, an offer to unite our kingdoms through marriage. The strength of that man is large and unknown, and our survival requires such sacrifices."
The mere maid, absorbed the weight of her task, nodding solemnly, she served her princess since the day she was born, so giving her to someone they don't even know felt heavy on her heart, but it was the king's orders, and for the sake of the realm.
As she left the king's presence, the weight of diplomacy and destiny rested on her shoulders, bound by the delicate thread of a princess's fate.
-End of flash back-
"The king of Carabiana himself offer's you the hand of the princess, his daughter Lara Carabiana!" She decalred.
The first thing I did when she said those words is to check the princess again. 'It is true that she is a real beauty, her face, hair, butt, waist and even boobs. But still her cold behavior make everyone distant from her yet..."
"Yeah she is right, we need this crystal so let's... Huh?" Realisation strucking her she immedietly turned her head to face the maid. "EMILY! What are you talking about?! Did my dad really say that or you just came up with this?"
"Your highness, his majesty the king instructed me to offer your hand for marriage if the negociations fail." The maid explained.
'Princess Lara is a beauty that nobles fought over to get, I never saw someone even close to her in terms of beauty. No man can ever resist such a offer.' Confidently thought the maid.
Understanding that her father was the one to order this, Lara too gave me a gaze as if to check me too, and her face became immedietly red. 'What the hell is with this guy? Now that I look closely to him he truly is handsome... And that long red hair.' She thought.
"Pffff... Hahahahahaha!!" I placed my hand on my face as I leaned my head back on the chair laughting. "This is really hilarious, unexpect things happen all the time, you want me to marry her? Why would I do that? She already lied to me, and her personality is shit. Other than your beauty what do you offer?" I asked with a bid grin.
Words betraying her, all she could do is stutter still with a red face. Her cold facade broken reaveling the real her. "Y-you! How dare you..."
"See? You can't even tell one good reason for me to be interested in you. Now Gabiru, take them to the..." I didn't finish my sentence as a black crow with a letter in it's leg just landed in front of the princess.
Taking the letter, the crow flew frolmwhere he came and the princess opened the letter reading it. "... no... No... NOOOOO!" Her face became even paler and tears rolled down her cheeks like a stream of water."
Lifting her head to look at me again with a crying and broken face, she pleaded. "King Nouflex Cor Ignis, please save us!"
