Chapter 109 - Do You Know Anything About The Prophecy?
"Thank you," that was all Eht at that moment, she had decided to be nice to the man as she did all day today After she heard froht, she could feel deep sympathy, especially toward the queen
That woman treated her so well, and it was hard for Emmelyn to hate her Mars also was nice to her from the first time they met He did threaten to have her beheaded on the plaza and whatnot, but now, knowing the man personally, Emmelyn was sure that he didn't
Well Emmelyn had never met him and he was actually the one responsible for all her sufferings with his stupid political moves to invade all the other countries on this continent
E and she couldn't let go of her revenge She was feeling very, very conflicted
"I actually wanted to knohy are your family so bloodthirsty?" Emmelyn decided to ask that all-important question to the prince
All this ti end of the Draec royal fadoine her shock, after traveling abroad for a year to learn and seek experience, and ca was in ruins
All her fae theht?
"Bloodthirsty? What do you mean by that?" Mars asked her with furrowed brows
He could kind of guess what she wanted to know but he needed to confirm it The man stared at Emmelyn intently Emmelyn tried hard to keep her tone neutral At this er had enmity in her heart for this man in front of her
So, she shouldn't lash out on him, until she could at least hear the answer
"By bloodthirsty, I ed over the past two decades How many people had been killed, lands destroyed, children lost their parents"
Mars let out a long sigh He did ask that question to his father years ago And once he knew the answer, he could understand why Now, he hoped Emmelyn could also understand his father's perspective once he told her everything
"The truth is, we don't always attack a country to get them under us We would always send peace envoys to those countries and asked thes to es, that's why some of my cousins were sent to reed on soreements, etc Only those who rejected our offers would be dealt with violence," Mars explained "You may see it as ruthless, but when it comes to power, it's either you become the leader or the follower My father never wants to be a follower That's why he would do whatever it takes to be the leader"
"Did you say political e?" Emmelyn asked the man
Mars nodded "Almost all my cousins were married out to secure power on our colonies If you remember my trip to Southberry, my cousin, Athos, was one of the ones sent to dom to secure their alliance"
Eovernor in Southberry was Mars' cousin So, the man was also sent to marry a princess from the local royal family, and then he settled down in the new place to rule on behalf of King Jared?
That was quite interesting Emmelyn wanted to ask Mars if his cousins were all okay with the arrangement
"Don't they have the people they were in love with? I mean, your father understood what it was like to be betrothed to a girl he didn't love, yet he forced his nephews and nieces on political es?" Emmelyn shook her head
"Everyone knows they have to be loyal to this country and be ready to do whatever it takes for Draec," Mars responded "And it's not like they live overnors or the regents"
"What about love?" Eain
"Love can be learned," Mars said "Or, if the worst comes to the worst, and you can't love your spouse and the family you build with theht his lover to the new kingdohter"
Emmelyn pursed her lips when she heard the man Gosh These people were truly weird and had sad lives, she thought She couldn't fathodom
"You said, everyone knows they have to be ready to do whatever it takes for Draec" Emmelyn narrowed her eyes and looked at the man earnestly "Would you love one woman and marry another, if it was required fro an eye, "Absolutely"
Emmelyn could hardly believe her ears Blind loyalty That was all she could think of
"If you someday fall in love with a woman, and have to choose between her and your country as you said, would you love one and marry another?" She asked the ation to your country over her?"
