Manipulating Sapphire..
''Sit down, River. In twenty two years you can't even tell the woman that you like her.''
This person went straight to the point, no time wasting, no bullshit. She looked cold and mean, people could mistake her with the Winter kingdom's princess.
Just like Skyla, she looked fierce.
This person looked strong and without even a guess, I was able to tell that it was her, the Empress. Her powerful energy shut River up in seconds. No one could stand up to her, no one would dare to raise their voice against her, that's the impression I was able to make about her.
''I'm sorry, but I have no plans of becoming your son's fiance.''
I also answered confidently, I was from way lower ground than all of them, but I also have my pride. I can make my own decisions and my own opinion matters too. ''If I would let everyone else decide my fate for me, what will become of me?''
''Your answer doesn't matter, if you want to stay alive, you must accept our offer for one year.''
