Chapter 26 - May I?

"Welcome back", recognition upon hearing, both of us at once greeted with 90° bows.

"What a pleasant scenery are we witnessing? Don't they make the perfect couple, honey?", two more voices entered as the two of us decided to get back to our places. Observing our parents nodding at each other who were now seated around the luxurious circular glass table, the two of us could only focus on the glamorously decorated room as expected. Watching us in total awe, the three middle aged adults were absolutely successful in making this meeting more disgusting for the two of us.

"So, why did you want us here?" though I already knew what was ahead of me, I cleared my throat trying my best to be politely. Immediately after exchanging glances, the two fathers suddenly turned back to us with cheerful faces of satisfaction, as my father started to announce their reason.

"Since you decided to come along, we decided to have your engagement ceremony right hear and right now", he spoke with a bright and smiley face. What bugged me though, was his firm tone of speech. Carefully glancing at Beomgyu, he looked down as he tightened his grip on my wrist which was placed on my lap.

"I'll do it, but only on one condition", I sighed in exasperation as the crowd started eyeing me with stern faces. With the serious atmosphere gradually growing within the room, I waited minding my manners till they gave me permission to continue.

"Go on", curiosity but with a hint of disappointment filling my future dad-in-law's voice, he insisted me to continue.

"Leave the criminal alone", and taking a deep breath in while bowing my head down low, I spoke in sheer hope while tightly closing my eyes in despair.

"Well acctually-", he started with his answer immidiately after hearing what I had to say. Beomgyu on the hand, had already happened to know what exactly he was gonna say. Hence, he inturrupted his father by explaining our favor in his words.

"You said it's either gonna be the criminal or the bride, dad. Now the bride is already here so, why are you still looking for the criminal?" He spoke with annoyance leaking out through his rather high voice.

"My prince, this is not a matter for your interference", the werewolf king spoke through gritted teeth in response.

"It is if she's gonna be my future wife!-" he barked right back, but by this time his father had already had enough of this questioning and answering session.

"Shut it! My dear useless son, if you really hadn't let him escape back then, then none of this would've been like this! Remember this is all your fault!" and that was what the end result we had to face.

"But-" with disbelief written all over the poor soul's face, he tried to resist but after releasing my hand from his grip, I managed to distract him while getting up from my seat.

"This is not a easy matter, dear. This is all about war or peace", the demonic ruler exhibited his wrath, as he continued his lecture still eyeing on his son.

"And we choose peace", making myself more prominent, I now stood high with all my pride alluring the old mortals in my direction. Of course, this might've been what they had always defined as 'disrespect', but I had no other choice at that time.

"Well then, bring in the criminal and then-" Beomgyu's father continued, this time only to be harshly cut of by my own self, since by now I was simply;

Pissed off.

And you better know when to not piss me off.

"Don't you trust us?" I inquired with a raised brow, trying by best to hold my outburst in making him feel a bit insecure within my rein.

"I..Uh.." finally getting the all mighty  himself to stutter out his answer, I watched him in pure delight of satisfaction.

"Hm..?" I suggested again.

"As you wish..." and this time finally getting him to heed my words, the three parents first exchanged glances before approving the said deal, as my dad stood up to announce the upcoming event.

"The prince...", he alarmed as Beomgyu raised himself up while turning towards me with both hands shaky, tightly cluching mine out of uneasiness.

"Y/N, do you really want to do this?" he once again asked, hoping that I would withdraw from my brutal decision.

"This is all for the best, I can't loose him no matter what, beomgyu-ah", I replied as he bit his lip in understandment, while taking a rich red sandal wooden box out of his pocket.

"You promised", and for the last time hoping the king would keep his word, I watched the three parents watch us in excitment while nodding their heads as if they were gonna brake out flying at any moment.

"Y/N..", hearing his yet again sorrowful voice, I looked right back to meet his coffee brown eyes yet again.

"What's with that face? Wasn't it you the one who first confessed to me?" I mocked playfully while gently whispering the said words, as he only chuckled back even though I knew that it was all forced.

I knew that he loved me as much as I did.

I knew he still want to be with me as much as I wanted.

But I also know that, he never wanted this.

He never ever wanted to force me on anything.

He understood me more than anyone else.

He only wanted me to be happy.

And that's exactly why I fell for him back then.

Opening the lid of the expensive block of rosy wood, he took out a white gold hoop with simple decorations. Finely detailed with the highlighting bright gold, the ring stood out especially for me since, that was exactly the only type that I preffered.

Not too heavily coated lavish designs, but a simple and a finely highlighted one.

'He really did it once again', chuckling painfully at the thought while holding my left hand up in the air, I observed him going into his pose on his knee.

"May I?" I hate to admit it but, I heard his voice sing through my ears before the crowd behind us started cheering in joy, as I gave him my answer.

"Yes, you may."
