Chapter 215 - A Secondary Wife in Name (2/2)
”The position of my main wife will only be for Alicia.” Gladiolus eyes sparkled when he mentioned Alicia's name. ”There will be no other that can bear my children. As to say, I only took you in as a wife because of your father's qualms.”
”You dare! How can I, the legitimate daughter of the king of Alvannia be second to that b*tch?! She is only a bastard daughter of my father!” Elizabeth hissed. ”My father will not let you get away with this!”
Gladiolus fumed in anger after hearing Elizabeth slander Alicia in front of him. He looked at her with murderous eyes.
”I advise that you don't run your mouth here, Princess Elizabeth.” The menace in Gladiolus' voice was evident. ”Many accidents can happen in traveling between countries. You know what I mean.”
Elizabeth was taken aback and shivered in fright. She knew very well what Gladiolus meant, he was threatening her.
”Y-You dare?” Elizabeth's voice faltered. ”My father will surely investigate if something bad happens to me. This alliance will be broken for sure.”
”It is easy to fabricate an accident at the middle of the forest princess.” Gladiolus inched towards Elizabeth's ears and whispered. ”While you are here under my protection, I suggest that you won't anger me even more.”
Elizabeth felt cold all over after hearing his threatening words. This definitely isn't an empty threat. Gladiolus stepped back and turned around.
”You have been unruly from the beginning of this journey. I have been very understanding to you because you are to be my secondary wife.” Gladiolus turned his head back to see Elizabeth who was looking at him in fear. ”If you delay our journey even more, I won't be as good as before. Remember that.”
Gladiolus turned around and was about to exit the tent. ”All I want is to go back to the palace of Jennovia and see my future wife, and proceed with our wedding ceremony. Oh and by the way, don't expect for a ceremony for yourself. As my secondary wife, it will be sufficient to just sign the marriage contract.”
And after that Prince Gladiolus left Princess Elizabeth alone inside the tent. After the whole conversation, Elizabeth can feel the mix of anger and fear. She gripped the sheets of the bed so tightly that it was about to tear.
”Why… why is this happening to me.” Elizabeth started to cry. Loud sobbing was heard inside the tent.
Outside, Gladiolus walked under the moon lit night.
”Your highness.” The male attendant that was waiting for Gladiolus outside the tent greeted.
”We will proceed as schedule tomorrow.” Gladiolus said. ”We won't stop for anything. If someone is lagging behind, then let them be left behind.” He said coldly.
The attendant knew very well what Prince Gladiolus meant. This journey has been delayed many times because of Princess Elizabeth's tantrums. But now that they were a week away from the capital of Jennovia, they won't make any stops for the princess any longer.
”As you wish, your highness.” The attendant bowed. ”I will relay your order to the others.”
”Send a message to the palace prior to our arrival. Tell them that once I arrive, the wedding ceremony will be held immediately. I will no longer wait to take Alicia as my wife.” A smiled crept on Prince Gladiolus' face.
