"Is it? Then what you said about Valerie is insulting too" he pointed out.Balthasar is getting agitated. Royal prince or not, Raphael should not point his finger at a king. Balthasar's ego is hit hard, especially when Raphael made it look like his daughter is a whore."But my daughter is a princess. She is born and raised in a palace. Unlike her. She was your slave before she was identified as the missing princess of the Ernest clan. We all have slaves here. It's not a secret about what we do with them behind closed doors" he said angrily.In a instance Raphael is holding Balthasar's neck in a death grip. His eyes turned pitch black and he growled loudly. That growl made even the kings and queens of all the clans stand up and bend their heads in submission. The Raven's are really powerful. No one has a chance to survive if you anger a Raven. Just like now.Tasha and Claudia are crying silently while Balthasar is fighting for his life.Raphael is beyond angry. A good for nothing Purpl
"Well, that was unexpected" Euridice commented.Arthur is shocked too. He was not expecting the Raven prince to propose a marriage with his younger daughter."It was indeed" he replied.Arthur's memories from the past flashed in the forefront of his mind.'I will destroy you brother ' his sister's words rang loudly, which made his spine stiffen with discomfort."I think this is her plan. She sent her son who pretended as if he genuinely cares about my daughter. Now he is proposing marriage out of the blue. Euridice, she was after my daughter from the moment Valerie was born. After nineteen long years i finally got my daughter back. I know she was not expecting that i could find Valerie again and i will give up on her search sooner or later. But i didn't. She is unable to accept her defeat. Now she made a fool proof plan to take my daughter back to the Raven Kingdom. Irina can never be trusted Euridice. You know that. You were there that night. I don't want to send my daughter back the
In an area which stands between the Ernest clan and the Nester clan, Raphael and Valerie are sitting on the bank of a river. The soft glow of the sun light is playing tricks on the flowing water surface. The area around the river is filled with wild flowers of different colours and filled the surroundings with their enchanting fragrance. "You don't have to marry me because of something someone said. People try to hurt others when they feel threatened. I heard from my sister that Princess Tasha wanted to marry you for a long time now. I think she became jealous and did what she did. You can marry her if you like her" Valerie said softly. After the initial shock of Raphael's proposal wore off, she began to think why he did what he did. He is quite fond of her and she knows that too. After thinking for a while, she came to the conclusion that his protective nature is what prompted him to ask her father for her hand in marriage. So she decided to assure him that he doesn't have to marr
In the Raven palace, Irina is sitting beside Cadmus while leasurely sipping red wine. On the other hand, the so called unwell Cadmus is gulping down whiskey."Raphael must be thinking that i am after Valerie's life. But it's you who is the real threat to that girl's life" Cadmus said while looking at Irina. Irina smirked. There is an evil glint in her eyes which she hides from everyone around the palace. Cadmus is healthy. But he is pretending to be unwell to fool Raphael. Irina and Cadmus tried to kill Valerie, but failed when Raphael rescued her from that room in the tunnels. In order to avoid from being suspected from Raphael, he began to pretend as if his condition is serious and he might die soon. "You let her escape from that house that night. If not she wouldn't have been a problem now" Irina said casually, as if kidnapping and keeping an infant imprisoned for eighteen years is not a crime.Cadmus gave her an offended look."It's not my mistake that she has grown out to be a
In the Nester palace, by the time Raphael came back with Valarie, Arthur and Euridice were waiting for him. "Prince Raven, can we have a word with you in private?" Euridice asked when Arthur seems to be still struggling to implement his good friends idea.Raphael observed the kings of the two clans keenly. Arthur is tensed while Euridice looks uncomfortable.'What is this about? This is definitely not about my marriage with Valerie. This is about something else' he guessed.Usually he will not get tangled with the clan politics. But he doesn't want to ignore his future father in law and hurt Valerie. So he agreed.He turned to face Valerie who is standing stiffly beside him. He just hope that she understood how much he likes her."You go and rest. I will come and see you once I am done here" he suggested.She gave a stiff nod before leaving the three men alone.Raphael turned his attention towards the kings."Please follow me" Euridice led the young prince in to his office before loc
In the Raven Palace, Irina is having a very relaxing evening. She doesn't have to pretend so hard to hide her true nature from her son who is in the Nester palace. Now she can relax and be herself, at least inside her chamber. No one will come unannounced. She just came back from visiting Cadmus, whom everyone is thinking to be on the verge of death. But he passed out after drinking too much alcohol. On the other hand, she had a few glasses of wine. Her head is not as clear and sharp as it usually is. She is relaxing. Just then, her mobile began to ring, indicating an incoming call. She has half a mind to ignore the call. But nobody usually calls her after seven in the evening. But now that Raphael is away, she thought it must be him who is calling to check on her. She doesn't want to miss his call and miss all the updates from the Nester palace.'I am sure he must be calling to tell me how much Princess Tasha is annoying him' she thought with a frown. Irina wants her son to marry t
"He is not like you, Irina. What will happen if your son finds out about your true nature?" Arthur asked with a satisfying smile. Irina imagined the outcome. She knows that Raphael wouldn't be happy. Just like Arthur noticed, her son turned out to be a gentleman just like his father. For some reason, he always looked to his father for guidance and advice. Her first husband made it a point to incorporate morals and ethics in Raphael. 'A true king needs to know the difference between right and wrong ' her husband used to say. She hid her nature from her husband from the beginning and then the same went on for Raphael as well. "Oh Arthur, you can try to tell my son about how evil his mother is. But he would never believe you. He loves me so much that he wouldn't even be willing to hear anything against me" she said confidently. Raphael clenched his jaw. That's what he did when Arthur and Euridice tried to tell him about Irina. He blindly trusted her. He wouldn't have trusted anyone i
Valerie changed her clothes into something comfortable. She is wearing shorts and a tank intop. She is worried. Raphael didn't send a message or he didn't even call her. Now that they have ech others numbers, his silence is making her feel restless.It's been four hours since Raphael went to speak with Arthur and Euridice. But so far she heard nothing from his side.'Did my father said something to upset Raphael? I know dad doesn't like the Ravens. But, can he stoop so low that he would ill treat a guest? Raphael was trying to protect my dignity with his marriage proposal. What is so wrong in that? I didn't get a chance to speak with Liliana and mom. If i did, then i would have known about what they are thinking and why dad wanted to talk to Raphael personally ' she thought with worry.On the other hand, Raphael gave the control to his dragon Hydra and allowed his beast to shift and fly untill his wings hurt and he no longer can fly. Hydra landed on the top of a mountain which is sitt
