Chapter 82 Officialy Engaged (2/2)
”We have came to a final decision to approve of your engagement with my daughter Alicia.” Father said.
After hearing my father words, I let out a sigh of relief. I can see Regaleon smiling as if he knew the end result.
”As of today crown prince Regaleon of Grandcrest and third princess Alicia of Alvannia are officially engaged.” Father said.
”Thank you very much your majesty.” Regaleon said.
”A week from now there will be a grand parade in the crown city to publicized the between the two of you.” Father informed us.
”I understand.” Regaleon replied. ”And after that I will be bringing Alicia with me to Granadcrest to get her bride training lessons.”
”What?!” Father was surprised.
”You know that as my crown princess, she needs to take the special lessons.” Regaleon said with a sarcastic tone.
”Yes, I know that.” Father said with a surprised tone. ”But she can take that lessons here in Alvannia.”
”I am afraid I can't approve of that king Edward.” Regaleon said. ”I can't be apart from her any longer.”
Regaleon faced me and gave me a loving look and smiled. He took my hand he was holding near his lips and kissed it.
”But she is still sixteen years old.” My father said with a bit of anger in his voice. ”She is still young to be away from her homeland.”
”Sixteen is of marrying age king Richard.” Regaleon said with authority. ”Now she is my official fiancee. And as her fiancee I want her to be by my side.”
I can see father clenching his fists.
”Father, if I may speak.” I said softly. Father turned his attention to me. ”I know that I am still lacking in some areas. I would like to learn those things before I become crown princess. And I am sure that I can get that education faster in Grandcrest.”
Father looked at me knowingly and sighed. ”I understand.”
I smiled with my father's words.
”But with some conditions.” Father said. ”First, your former knight has resigned from his post so I will assign a personal knight I trust to go with you.”
I nodded in agreement.
'That explains things. Now that Regaleon has regained his original identity. His former identity as Leon the knight would be erased.' I thought.
”Second, you will work hard in your studies as to not taint the Alvannian name.” Father said.
I nodded again. I really intended to learn everything that is needed.
”And third, this is for you prince Regaleon.” Father looked at him. ”Please have a healthy relationship with my daughter until the wedding night.”
A healthy relationship, meaning that Regaleon and I have to keep a proper distance from each other. We can't engaged in intimates acts.
Regaleon was smiling. ”I will try, but I cannot promise.”
My eyes went wide with Regaleon's answer. My mouth was in an 'O' shape. Even Dimitri has a face saying 'Can't you at least be less honest and lie about this things?'
”Well at least that is my request.” Father said. ”If there is nothing else you want to ask you are dismissed.”
”Thank you father.” I curtsy to him.
”Thank you, your majesty.” Regaleon bowed his head.
