Chapter 45 - My Love, Wait For The Show Time

Emmy leaned against Alex and murmured something to his ears coquettishly. When Victor was thinking of how to block Alex's anger, to his much surprise, Alex gently smiled at his fiancee and gently adjusted her locks of hair beside her ear.

Emmy put out a facade of a white flower who any man would urge to take care of. She knew Victor was here to brew troubles for Alex but could not figure out what exactly was his plan.

" This girl is definitely extraordinary, I must have her at any cost". Victor kept on thinking seriously in his mind but on his face, there was not even a flick of it, it was as if he was enjoying the feast to its maximum.

Slowly, the time came up when the elder Begontrix stood up to introduce the new couple.

" Attention please, now I would like to welcome the pride of the Salian clan, our crown prince, and his beautiful fiancee, Ms. Lamia Shagues."

The whole crowd was completely silent, they were checking out this woman whose identity was mysterious still she successfully acquired their prince's heart. Some women even despised Lamia thinking that she stole their husband right under their nose.

" No, this cannot be happening, elder Begontrix, how can you even think of this lowly woman to become the crown princess of our clan. The rightful person who deserves that position is the second princess of the Agnartic family. Why you all are siding with this pretentious lady here. I won't allow for this marriage. "

The king shouted at his top voice but got glared at by the four elders, still, he didn't back off. He stubbornly stood against the elders and was determined not to let this woman enter their royal family.

Meanwhile, the queen was watching the ruby-like girl enclosed in the red dress. The woman was exceptionally gorgeous and she clearly noted the desire in her son's eyes previously. Looking at the calm attitude of that particular woman even when all others were strangers for her, the queen understood one thing- " provoking this woman can result in heavy damage to herself."

Alex chuckled at the childish behavior of the so-called father, he calmly stood up and faced the people with his vibrant smile. Most of the women were drooling over his handsome face. He was waiting for this instant where the king would blow up his cover and show his prejudiced attitude towards the Agnartic clan.

Under the fierce gaze of the king, Alex sneered, " Who said that my woman is lowly, her grade is supreme that even you won't be allowed to touch her shoes. Do you want to know about her parental line? I warn you, don't come beseeching after you know it."

" People who have the same opinion as to the king, my woman as introduced by our elder goes by the name Lamia Shagues. Here, I welcome the respective elders of her family."

After announcing his words, Alex stood up with pride and walked towards the entrance after receiving the signal from Jordan. Soon he was out of sight, the guests were waiting eagerly to know the ancestors of this mysterious girl.

Soon at the entrance arrived 4 people, an elderly one, a middle-aged man accompanied by his wife and a beautiful lady who was flaunting her self-esteem. Her eyes scanned the whole audience to find the person whom she was waiting for but in vain met the vicious gaze of the second prince. 

Yes, this beautiful lady was none other than the battle princess, Arona who had come with her parents and their family elder to join the feast. The other three people from the Agnartic clan were acting as almighty as they thought this feast was specially arranged for them and the princess never bothered to clarify the matter as she knew after their plan gets succeeded, the position of the crown princess will be naturally hers.

Meeting Victor's lewd gaze, Arona noticed the beauty sitting by his side. At the first glance itself, she knew that this was the prey he wanted to hunt, but who was she? The countenance portrayed greatness and Arona was sure that this lady was powerful by the aura surrounding her.

While the elders and the whole guests were confused with the entry of the Agnartic people, Alex had mentioned that his fiancee's people were coming but where did he run off to. The queen was the more sensible one, she welcomed the people at the entrance to join the feast relieving the awkward situation at the banquet.

The Salian king stood up and greeted the elder and the Agnartic king, Ragnaran. While they were exchanging their greetings, a commotion was heard at the entrances. Looking at the arrived guests, all clan chiefs were shocked and the elders gasped. All the elders present for the banquet lined up and bowed to the late guests which included the Salian clan elders also.

Emmy looked at Alex who was beaming with happiness, and he met her eyes which confirmed his message, " my love, it is the showtime." Emmy smirked back at Alex and evilly looked at Victor, the only person who was not excited with the arrival of unexpected guests.

He couldn't believe that these people could obliviate their enmity with Alex and end their seclusion for this guy. Victor clenched his fist but his expression became normal when he saw that Emmy was looking at him. 

" Oh, looks like your lover has invited the people of his ex-fiancee. This explains you maybe his lover but in terms of power, he should still beg in front of the great Esbertrazian elders. "

Emmy smiled after hearing what he said, poor chap, he doesn't know that the connection of the great Esbertrazian clan and Alex was redeemed by this young woman.

Arona noticed the interaction between Emmy and Victor, she was happy that the prey was getting into a trap and this could result in her escape from the second prince's clutches. She slowly signaled one of her maids who slowly disappeared from the banquet.

" Victor, sorry to change your plan, you have given me such a wonderful opportunity but I don't want to get mud on my name, instead let it on you and your prey."

Arona's smile hid the evil thoughts in her mind easily from the crowd.
