Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: I can't marry you

she heard footsteps behind her and the person asked who are you, she turned quickly to see the golden eyes vampire.

 Before she could bow she noticed the color of his eyes were golden and not brown like king Caspian as he was crowned not too long ago.

 His golden eyes stared at the girl who was wearing a well tailored blue dress that had tailored designs on it, her body was perfect and he but his lips mesmerized by her beauty, this girl in front of him has caught his interest and he felt blood rush through his veins impatient to have her all to himself.

 Now realizing that it was the crown prince, she bowed her head and her upper waist, "I am sorry for stepping my foot here your royal highness, "she apologized with sweat gathered on her forehead, 'if his majesty is a vampire and this man in front of him his twin brother that means he is still a vampire, I don't want to be the person they're going to have for dinner, ' she thought with trembled lips and legs.

 Humans have towns separated from vampires but they were all in one Kingdom; so humans didn't know much about vampires as they were rarely seen in Winfield, since they don't know too well about vampires and werewolves they all believed the most shallow thoughts about vampires, some of those thoughts were; vampires eats kills humans and kill them for food, when a vampire's drinks blood from a human and when the victim is drained without a single drop of blood in them, they use the bodies to make weapons or give witches from the exchange of potions, and witches hid in the dark shadows of Winfield hiding from witch hunters who were all humans, but only the strong ones or bold ones among them could be more confident to live amongst humans.

 "You can raise you body now, " she raised her body but her head was slightly bowed down not to reveal her embarrassed face, he stared at her feminine delicate body, the corset of her dress tight on her waist, the petticoats attached to the blue ankle length gown with imprinted tailored designs on the petticoats. He stared at her arm that quivered at her back, this girl was the most beautiful human he had ever encountered or is it because he has not visited Winfield that much, he stared at her lips that trembled and from the look of it, it was soft and it made his heart flatter when she bit her lips in perplexity. "Why are you trembling while talking to me?" He questioned.

 "This is the first time I am talking to the prince of Auburn your royal highness, I apologize that I was trembling in front of you, I'll take my leave now, " she said bowing and walking away, when she was about to pass him he held her warm hand feeling the wetness of her palm that was covered with the white glove.

 He pulled her back to him and her jaw hits his husky chest, his left hand held her waist and his other hand raised her chin tediously, she turned agape that the prince was holding her on her waist. "How about you stay here for a while, " his voice calm yet covered in mischief.

 "I am sorry your highness but I can't stay here, " she responded in embarrassment trying to free herself from his tight grasp, 'is he requesting for me to stay here to have me for dinner? ' she thought clumsily.

 "I am not doing anything to you..." He wanted to complete his sentence but he was still unaware of her name.

 "Can you please let me go your highness, I'll introduce myself, " she answered and he released his arm from her and she stepped backward to prevent him from grasping her body again. "I am Avery windley, " she introduced and she smirked. 'What a perfect body and a wonderful name too I can't wait to have her as mine, ' he thought with a wide smirk.

 He walked up to her and raised her chin with a calm expression, "tell me Avery windley what do you think with the knowledge of you being my wife, " seeing her mouth turned agape in shock and wanting to put more pressure on the word he phrased, "or don't you want to become part of the royal family?" his smile was calm but the calm expression on his face was just to conceal the mischief behind it. No one could bail out of this offer and he knew humans were desperate to know more about vampires.

 she gulped down the saliva that was gathered in her mouth, 'me a part of the family, who would want to throw that, what should I do, I don't like this man and I can't be a vampires wife, thank God it is not his majesty who asked this because she wouldn't have say to it if not she won't be a part of the kingdom of Auburn. 'I don't feel a bit interested in him nor am I attracted to him, does he think I am like the other girls who is so desperate to become a part of a royal family? why is he even asking me all of a sudden? I barely even know him and he is suddenly asking for my hand in marriage, I know I can't throw this offer, it's exciting to become part of a royal family,' she scrunched her face feeling frustrated that she doesn't know the right thing to do at this point, she felt like she was throwing her future away at the same time thinking she wouldn't be happy, so this time around she has to listen to her conscience, but another series of questions popped out of her head again. 'but I don't love him, so I can't marry him, but why am I in such a horrible dilemma because of the little question, I'll just explain my feelings politely I don't want to be killed if I turned him down, ' she shook her head to shove the thought aside, 'I'll just say it politely, ' her scrunched face became calm after she inhaled and exhaled the fresh breeze that moved freely in the patio.

 "Racking your brain are you now, how about we discuss this some other time, " still holding her chin up and he saw her lips depart gradually, "I wonder what she will say, she can't turn down this offer..." He was cut short by what she said and it left him in shock. "What?!"

 "I don't mean to make you offended your highness but-- I can't marry you."
