Enthralled 41

Kali's POV

"You think you can fool me, Princess Kaylee?" God Aeyar smiled at me

"How did you-"

"Aren't you curious why your Father don't want you to bring that necklace, when you are doing the missions?" he asked while holding the ring "He doesn't want us to know that you are the princess. And you are so hardheaded, you brought that necklace with you. I don't know why those guys treat this girl beside you as the princess, when you are. I bet they don't have any idea that you are the princess? You hid the necklace, didn't you?"

"Shut up, Aeyar"

"I guess the Gods and Goddesses that you visited, already knew you are the princess? Aren't you wondering why a lot of monsters and more, kept on going near you? Because they can smell the power of the princess" God Aeyar

"Can you just stop?"

"Why do you want me to stop? Oh, I see. This girl beside you still doesn't know? Am I right?" God Aeyar

"I-I know!" Maya said

I looked at her but she smiled at me.

"You do? Congratulations, then. I'm not doubting if she told you about the history of the Kingdoms and that made you say yes?" God Aeyar

"O-Of course, she told me!" Maya rolled her eyes

"Okay, calm down" God Aeyar smiled and looked at me and handed me the ring "Once you become the Goddess of the two Kingdoms. We will marry each other whether you like it or not"

"W-What? Why do I have to marry you?"

"Before you were born. I am not the God of this Kingdom and I am only a royal soldier of your Father Thoais. He trusted me so much that he announced to all the Gods and Goddess that we will marry each other once you become a Goddess" God Aeyar answered and put the ring on my palm "This will serve as a sign that you need to marry me and a sign that you are going to be married"

This can't be. I can't get married.

"Why are you forcing her? You should respect her decision" Maya angrily told Aeyar

"Then, you all will be lock here, young lady. This is an order from all the Gods and Goddess. I need to marry Kaylee" God Aeyar answered

"Okay-"

"What do you mean okay? You can't marry if you don't want him, your highness" Maya told me

"We need to get out of here, Maya"

"What? Are you going to sacrifice your own happiness for our freedom?" Maya

"Yes"

"If we tell them you are the princess and you can't marry-" Maya

"You can't tell them, Maya"

"Why can't I? You have to think of yourself, your highness" Maya

"Don't call me your highness when we are with them. And please act naturally" I said and took the ring and wore it "Let us go"

"The Luminous Ring represents that you are going to marry me, Princess Kaylee" he smiled as he stood up and left me and Maya

I sighed.

"Y-You are the princess?" Maya asked as she looked straight into my eyes "I-I've always wanted to meet you. I didn't know the princess is with me all this time"

"Please, don't tell anyone"

"Why? They deserve to know" Maya

"Maya, they do deserve to know but I don't this spot"

"Kal- I mean Princess Kaylee. You deserve it and you are meant for it" Maya said as she held my hands

"I am not brave enough" my tears started falling as I whispered

"You are so brave, you will be a great Goddess. You can rule two Kingdoms on your own, Princess" Maya smiled and wiped my tears "We believe in you. You saw how the others care for the princess. We are here, we can help you. You just need to be yourself"

"I'm sorry for crying. This is the first time I heard such words. The God Thoais and Goddess Etris never told me those" I sighed

"They are here" God Aeyar said as he walked to us with the others "I need to go now. If you all need something please tell my royal guards" he said and walked upstairs

"Why are you crying, Kali?" Jeongin worriedly asked as he ran to me "Are you okay?"

"I am okay, I-I was just touched by the Princess' words to me" I smiled as I vowed to Maya

"Are you okay now, your highness?" Felix asked Maya

"H-Huh? Y-Yes, hahaha" Maya answered awkwardly as she smiled "Shall we go? We don't want to stay here, right?"

"We need to go, your highness" I said

"O-Okay" Maya said and walked first followed by Jeongin, Minkyu and Jisung

I quickly walked to follow her and to avoid Felix's questions. I don't want to think of it anymore. When did God Thoais made a promise like that? And why would he? Just because he trust Aeyar, he will also give me to him. But why am I going to do now? It's already settled. When I am crowned as the Goddess of two Kingdoms, I will need to marry him.

I quietly followed them "Xerena..." and whispered

"You must be shocked? You should've left that necklace in your room. Do you know that God Thoais is having hard time when he didn't saw the necklace in your room? He is worried about you, Kali" Xerena

"Even if I leave this necklace in my room that won't remove the fact that I need to marry Aeyar" I whispered and sighed

"Kali!" Felix walked beside me

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?" he asked

I nodded and smiled.

He looked at me curiously and suddenly looked at my hands "W-What?" he held my hand and saw the ring "Isn't this the ring of God Aeyar? This is traditional ring of Zeoddunada Kingdom"

"I-"

"You are going to m-marry him?" Felix looked at me
