General Maldor looked troubled, but he held his breath and said, "Lord Ahtred has a daughter, Your Grace!"
Elio furrowed his eyebrows.
"And?"
"And the officials proposed it would be better if your highness married her as a symbol that you are really here for the interests of the Crescent people as you claim."
Elio was amused. If he didn't have Mareen, he would have been tempted to accept. Of course, not before meeting the girl and checking if she was to his taste.
However, Mareen was his queen now. He would fuck other women, that was for sure, but he would never give that title to anyone else.
Unless, of course, if he conquered another kingdom. There, then there would be someone else with that title.
In the Crescent kingdom, it was Mareen and only Mareen.
Elio reached into his McLonald's bucket and grabbed a chicken nugget, bit a huge chunk off of it and chewed on it slowly as his gaze held General Maldor's.
