Chapter Eight// I'd wrap her in my arms and never let her go

~Rose~

"I see your kingdom has been..." Quintell trailed off as she took a bite of a donut, Licking the icing that was left around her lips. I tried not to stare.

"Burned and destroyed" I fill in her words as I took another bite from my second croissant. They were so nice and buttery and sweet.

"Yes, and I see that you could use some help with that...
Restoring your towns and your kingdom"

I cocked my eyebrow. Did she think I had no money? Did she think I needed help with my kingdom or that I would take help from her if she offered. She must be delusional.

"Do you believe I can not restore my own kingdom?" I said offensively as my eyebrows knitted together making one long brow.

Alicent wiped her lips "Excuse me but I would like it if you wouldn't make assumptions, I was Just stating what I've seen and saying that maybe you could use the help because if you weren't struggling then everything would be already restored by now wouldn't it" Alicent batted her light eyelashes at me sweetly as those emerald eyes burned me to the core.

This bitch. I stood up from the table with my hands against the wood. The chair's legs screeched against the floors underneath me.

"Get out!" I pointed towards the doors. My face was full of annoyance. "You're wasting my damn time and I don't have time to be wasted"

Alicent held up a small hand, Closing her eyes as if I wasn't anything but a small child throwing a tantrum.

"I want a marriage alliance, me and you married by the eighteenth. I need to be married to gain access to my father's throne" Alicent said finally a small sigh leaving her lips as if this whole situation exhausted her.

I slowly sat back down in my chair "What's in for me?"

She wanted a marriage so she could obtain her father's throne. I'm guessing her father insisted she be married before giving her his throne. But why did Alicent come here? out of all the places she could've gone, Why Maldone? Why me?

Alicent smiled or smirked.
She looked so Hot as she smiled wickedly despite the weird feeling that settled in my bones.

"If you marry me you will have undeniable protection from my kingdom men, you will get a good salary of money as a thank you for agreeing to the alliance that you could put towards restoring your kingdom and you get to marry me!" Alicent smiled brightly, her voice chipper "a good bag of Tits and ass"

"Besides you need to let go, and start anew" Alicent finished with another Sigh.

Anger twisted inside of me. My lip twitched. How dare she say I needed to let go, start anew! Start a new one with her? No.
I couldn't let go of Alessandra, I wouldn't... right?

I sighed and sat back in my chair. My cold hand going to my hot head.

This alliance would be good, and amazing not for myself but for my kingdom. I would do anything to make sure my kingdom was fine and living a good life, not in rubble and out of burnt homes and tents.

If I marry Princess Quintell the kingdom would be protected times two not just by its own men and women but by another thousand or so others, That could be good to stop any other wars from becoming big like the one that just occurred. Would it stop them completely? No but could it stop thousands of deaths and major destruction? Possibly.

And the money. we would get a salary that would mostly go to the towns but whatever is left gets saved for possibly Leon or could be used towards any of the charities that would be opening up soon on Thursday, November 2nd, AKA the Day of the Dead.
