The next few days seemed to fly by, and Eira had already met many men, some young, some old, some a little interesting, and some incredibly boring. It reached a point where the red haired princess was merely counting down the days until all of this is over, she had hoped that maybe by some slim chance, Elric would show up and contest as one of her suitors, but it looked like that was just a distant dream.
The realization broke her heart a little, hadn't he heard that she was to be getting married, or maybe he just did not care? If she was really his mate, why would he sit by while some random man whisked her away into a loveless union. Did his hatred for her family run deeper than he admitted?
