I smiled softly, I couldn‘t believe just this morning I was beginning to feel doubtful about him, to the point that I wondered if he could be a traitor. I shook my head and placed my hand in his.

“I guess we should.” I replied airily, trying to ignore the sparks that softly tingled through me.

A few guests chuckled, whilst I heard someone say they should drinkin mourning that I was no longer available.

I watched as Theon slid the stunning ring onto my finger, it was made from a platinum white gold with a pale blue emerald cut diamond at its centre. Surrounded by small clear diamonds that covered the double band of the ring itself. 1!

It was a perfect fit.

My heart was such a storm of emotions that I was no longer able to think straight. I took the ring for Theon from the cushion, my hand shaking as I held my hand out to him, his eyes burning into me.

“Any moment now?” He whispered mockingly, making me try an attempt at a glare before I managed to slip the dark engraved ring onto his finger.

The moment it was on, everyone broke into cheers and applause.

Everyone began to come over to greet us. It was all so fast that I was unable to remember who was who. Theon‘s arm slid around my waist protectively, pulling me to his side. Someone passed us drinks, but it was all a haze after that. People were introducing themselves, and others were asking questions about when the marriage would take place. Asking the king when I would take over from him. When there would be an heir.

I replied when I could, trying to remain calm in the face of their obvious insinuation that I, as a female, was not enough and needed to produce an heir soon.

“Congratulations!” Raiden said, now coming over, a smile on his face despite the glimmer of sadness in his eyes. “I‘m happy for you.”

“Thank you.” I said softly, pulling away from Theon. I hugged him. “Thank you for everything.”

And I‘m sorry… Sorry I‘m not the woman for you. 1

“Nothing to thank me for.” He said, giving me a tight squeeze.

“Well well well… congratulations.”

My mood darkened as I recognised the voice of none other than Nikolai. I would never forget what he tried to do… ever.

My heart thundered as Theon‘s eyes flashed.

“Thank you.” I said icily.

“You look beautiful… princess now, right?”

“Keep talking and you and your title will be dead soon enough.” Theon said coldly, his eyes shimmering gold.
