102 Deal with the Devil (1/2)
Don put down the glass in his hand and nodded
”I don't like to beat around the bush, King Don. You know after the marriage, the bride's family give valuables, lands as marriage settlement to groom ”
”Yes” Don said and waited for King Harold to get to the point as King Harold continued
”But my daughter Darlene is far more valuable than all of your little kingdoms combined so it would be only right for you to give as a marriage settlement or take it as a compensation”
Don was stunned for a moment ”is he for real?”, and not only Don, Everyone in the dining room was shocked as hell when they heard King Harold.
”Your majesty its”
”If I want your opinion I will ask for it, Steven” King Harold shut Uncle Steve when he tried to interfere and waited for Don to speak
Don glanced at Darlene for a second but she looked like she had nothing to do with the current situation while Princess Kate seemed to support her father
”Alright what do you expect, King Harold?”
”As you may have noticed King Don, Korrinth is a very rich kingdom but it also a small one in size and I'm planning to change that”
”Oh boy” Uncle Steve had a very bad feeling about whats King Harold is going to say next
”I'm not going to ask too much, I just want half of Emir ”
King Harold said and there was no shame or a feeling of demanding too much on his face.
”half? you do realize those are barren lands right? King Harold. What are you going to do with it?”
Regardless of this outrageous request, Don asked in doubt because even he had no idea of what to do with those barren lands
”You don't have to worry about that, King Don” King Harold didn't even look at Don when he said as he was taking a sip from his wine glass.
It was King Harold politely saying that it was none of Don's business and Uncle Steve started to panic seeing Don but still he couldn't see whether Don was angry or not.
”Of course you don't have to answer right away, take your time but don't take too long, I'm not a very patient man King Don”
”So am I Harold, so am I” Don inwardly said as he nodded and left the dining room and when he was leaving, he heard Queen Bella and Kate mumbling something to King Harold but Don couldn't hear a thing.
”Let's get what we want and get the hell out of here ” Arrora said and followed Don to the outside
After reaching the garden area Arrora made sure there's no one around in the garden and said
”I've talked to Joel, the access keys are already given out to the kingdoms. Korrinth should get one in two days top”
”Yeah or I'm afraid I'll kill that guy”
”Me too” Arrora said and she was not kidding
”What you too?” Arrora and Don turned back to see Darlene walking towards them
”Oh nothing your royal highness, we were just talking about the insects around here” Arrora pointed some ladybugs on the flower petals.
”So I assume you want to talk to me about what just my father said?”
”Why would I? It's not like I'm going to marry you, Princess Darlene. I'm just here for the access key, remember”
Darlene was slightly taken back by his indifferent tone and expression but she was able to smile and asked a slightly flirtatious tone
”So tell me King Don, if we truly loved each other would you accept my father's requests?”
”No, giving out something mine is a sign of weakness and I don't do weaknesses”
”What a douche” thinking to herself, Darlene kept smiling without revealing her thoughts
”When do you plan to give me the access key? Princess Darlene”
Princess moment put her finger on her chin and acted like she was deeply thinking and said
”Probably the moment before I go to the Cold Moon Palace”
Hearing Darlene's answer, Don acted like he's also thinking deeply by rubbing his chin for a moment
