Alpha King of Water

PRINCESS SERAPHINA’S PROPOSAL

HALI’S POV

All of the eyes were on me and Seraphina while we were walking on the red carpet towards the center of the hall. My brothers were there and my father was in the middle. He had a smile on his face as if this was my first time doing good. I gazed at Raiden, he just nodded his head to me. Pyro was as usual nothing to say. Zephyrus had a smirk on his lips, teasing me as normal. Colden, never mind.

“Apologies, Higher King…” Seralowered her head to his front. “Apologies, Alpha Kings.” She bowed to my brothers and the next was to the other important officials. “Apologies, Ministers, Ladies of all ladies, and Judges.”

I marched towards her side and lowered my head, too. “Apologies for being irresponsible for my princess.”

My father loved my apologizes. I loathed saying it, but Raiden had a plan for us, therefore I needed to follow him, or else everything would be ruined.

“Where have you been?” Higher King asked Sera.

“In the Human World, Your Majesty.” When Sera talked, the people were whispering. Rumors were scattering and it was loud to be heard by my active ears.

“She’s a disgrace.”

“It’s not yet Freedom Day.”

“She should be punished.”

“She doesn’t deserve to live in the Elemental Kingdom.”

“She is so disgusting for breaking the rules.”

“How dare she?”

I ground my teeth as I wanted to fight their comments to Seraphina. They should give peace to my mind, especially when the alcohol drowned my system. Fortunately, Raiden was gazing at me, gesturing for me to calm down, or this plan would not be effective.

“Silence.” Higher King Oswald did not shout. He just raised his hands and people stopped. “Why did you go there? Are you aware that the members of the Elemental Kingdom are prohibited to go there when it’s not yet Freedom Day?”

Sera raised her face. “I have the knowledge, Your Majesty. I am aware of the consequences. It’s punishable by law.”

“Then, why leave the Elemental Kingdom?” The tone of his voice was frightening Sera. Her hands were shaking, so I grabbed her hands and intertwined them with mine.

“Because of grief, sorrow, and sadness.” The tears started to flow from her eyes down to her cheek. She was a good actress, or maybe that was really what she felt. It was true that her past was so dark, with no light at all. The Peaceful Community was massacred right in front of her eyes.

“Everywhere I go in the Alpha King’s World, I saw the pain, blood, and death of everyone in our small community.” She grabbed all the sympathy of the crowd. The ones who said worst to her were now having sympathy and sadness for her.

The sound of her sob echoes in the Sacred Throne Room. “I propose freedom for me, Higher King. I want to live in the Human World. Far from the place that keeps reminding me of my miserable life. Far from fright, pain, and misery.”

I pulled her to mine and hugged her so tight. Funny. I would never be sweet to anyone. Just for the sake of Froy’s love for her. I was more than willing.

Higher King Oswald looked at my brothers and then to the misery. By the looks in their eyes, they were making a decision for her.

“I am begging you.” Sera cried with her heart out. Was that really acting? Or she was feared of leaving Froy?

“Speak up, King Water.” I was startled when my father appointed me. “Any statements? You are her future husband. Can you let your woman leave?”

I gazed to my side. This was unexpected. I was not smart to answer our father politely. I fucking had a rude personality, but I was supposed to be at least good at the moment. Even once.

I bit my lips and then straightly stare into his eyes. “A man of honor should respect and support a woman’s decision.” I forced myself to say it with acknowledgment to him as the most respectable man.

“A man of honor never questions a woman’s plan for the good of her life…” I paused while I caressed Sera’s hair as if I was so gentlemanly. “He should be proud that her woman is chasing for the best… bringing out the excellent and contentment in her heart in spite of facing struggles and affliction.” I chinned up, confidence was in my expression. “I, Hali Aiker, The Alpha King of Water… grant Princess Seraphina’s proposal to live in the city.”

I breathed in and blew it out. “I am letting her grow and achieve her desires as it will be the peace she wants. And when she changes her mind to return to the Elemental Kingdom. The palace will welcome her with open arms.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like how I respect and support Zarya. She wanted to be a beta, then, she should be. I looked down when I remembered her, the reason, I was messed up. I just did not understand why. I just said what was the content of my chest. That was supposed to be for Zarya Wixx, not for Seraphina.

“Agreed.” Raiden followed my command. If they would all give her consent then she would live there peacefully with Froy.

“Agreed,” Pyro spoke up.

“Agreed.” I rolled my eyes, never mind, that was Colden.

“Agreed, but can I join Sera there?” Zephyrus’ naughtiness came out again in serious scenarios like this. When father glared at him with madness in his eyes, he covered his lips. “I was just kidding.”

The high borns and ministers, even the Lady Of All Ladies supported her. The only consent we were waiting for was from my father. If he opposed, the wedding would continue. I sighed with frustration in my system while we were waiting for Higher King Oswald.

This old man must say anything! Or else my freaking little temper would be gone. He gazed at me. I thought he was mad at me again, as normal. As he started to talk, he seemed not angry. “All of you accept her proposal even the Alpha King Of Water. I heard his statement and I am amused that he… somehow grows up.” He looked around and then rested his stare on me. “He is serious and standing there like a real alpha king. So… Princess Sera.” He looked at her gently. “You may sign the Elemental Kingdom written paper, so you can move to the Human World. I agreed.”

I prevented the smirk from slowly growing to my lips. It was a good idea that I listened to Raiden. I glimpsed at him and mouthed. “You are the best, brother.”
