A Trap?

*Root's POV*

--after the banquet...at the Sparkling Sea shore--

Hi Claw!, Did you wait for too long? (I greeted)

No, just 5 minutes. (Claw replied)

By the way, What do you mean about "you want me"? (I asked)

I literally mean that. I need to mary you to be the next king of Black Sea Clan. (Claw said)

Me? Why do you have to marry me? (I asked)

It's because I have a brother, I heard him say ; "kill my Father right after the chosen's night, I have to be the next king of this clan." (Claw stated)

Did you tell your Father about this? (I asked)

Yeah,.. though, my Father said that I have to marry the highest Queen of Mysteria to be the rightfull heir of his throne. (Claw said)

What if... Claw's lying? (I asked my self)

Are you thinking if I'm lying? (Claw asked)

Honestly..... Yes. Everyone has to be wise about sensitive decisions, right? (I said)

Yeah, you're very right about that. I'll give you the documents and agreement papers tomorrow, read it then think and answer me wisely. (Claw said)

Okay...(I agreed)

••at my house••

Mom?... (I asked)

Why? Do you need something? (Mom asked)

Yeah Mom, I really need your guidance now. (I said)

Why so serious? (Mom asked)

Mom...will you agree if I tell you that I will be getting married? (I asked while shaking)

WHAT!!! Are you out of your mind? (Mom yelled)

No...(I answered)

Who are you going to marry? (Mom asked)

Claw, The next Ki.......the next heir of Black Sea Mansion. (I said)

Tell me the truth, Root. (Mom said)

(Deep sigh) I know that you wont believe me but Claw is the next King of Black Sea Clan in Mysteria. (I said)

Mysteria? What's that? Is that even a place? (Mom asked)

Yeah Mom, I've been going to that place using the excuse of "going to a friend's house". (I said)

So you're lying to me all this time? (Mom asked)

Yeah, but I'm really sorry Mom because I'm scared that you'll think that I'm crazy. (I said while starting to cry)

Don't cry my baby, If you're really saying the truth....then....let me see him first. (Mom said)

You want to see Claw? (I asked)

Yeah, can't I? (Mom said)

Okay let's meet him tomorrow. (I said)

Okay, goodnight, sleep tight so you won't have eyebags before seeing your fiance tomorrow. (Mom smiled)

Okay Mom, Thanks! (I said)

••at the Black Sea Clan territory••

I really wish that she will agree to my proposal tomorrow...(Claw whispered)

You've been waiting for her for 16 years. (A knight said)

Yeah, now that she has been reincarnated again as her young self, I will protect Florra no matter what happens and I will take and protect my Father's throne by marrying my first love...Florra. (Claw said)

This is really the great timing to protect two things using one shield. (The knight said)

Yeah, probably... (Claw said)

You gotta' be strong Your Highness for everyone's sake. (The knight said)

Yeah, I'll be stronger. (Claw said)

Goodnight Your Highness! (The knight said)

Okay, thank you for your sincere talk with me. (Claw said)

Anything for you, Your Highness. (The knight said)
