The Golden Throne

Chapter 46 - Proposal



"What!!", all three of the elves shouted out loud. A few people near the building glanced at the office building, but they dismissed it, as this was after all, a campus filled with students. Inside, Amelia looked like she saw a ghost. Meanwhile Damscus sat down to think.

"You can\'t possibly even think about considering this father. He is the devil. Do you remember what he said to Amelia? The disgusting things he said… don\'t agree."

"Well, I will give you a lot of time to think about it, don\'t worry. You have until next year to come up with an answer. When you do, please come to Dilheim. It is his territory now, and he wishes that you visit it next year before coming to a final decision.", Liu Man told the Elvan royalty, and took a leave.

Damascus looked at Amelia, who had calmed down by now. "Yes, we can always say no. But, imagine, he is a contractor of a King spirit. I am sure that they look at character before choosing their contract holder. I must think cool headed. This is also an opportunity for the Elvan kingdom to grow. We will get an alliance with the Aegonian kingdom, so we don\'t have to worry about defences for a while, but think about it, they will use Amelia as a hostage and a card whenever they want to.". Damascus tried to think about his possible options. He then looked back at the children. He sighed and said, "Go back to your rooms. There is time until next year. But remember Amelia, you must follow what I decide. No matter how much you hate someone, if it is for Elvan, sacrifices must be made."

Amelia nodded, and she went back to her dorm. Alderan quickly followed back to his own room. He saw Liu Feng calmly working on his own homework, and he lost his cool.

"You want to marry my sister you a$$-", He raged when Liu Feng interrupted him by pointing to his side, where their other roommates were playing cards. Alderan shut up, and went to his top bunk.

"Hey guys, do you want to play? It is really fun. I didn\'t think that these games were so fun. I wonder why my parents never gave us this game. I should thank that senior for giving us these cards.". Liu Feng looked at his books, and back at the cards.

"Fine, deal me in.", He gave in. What could he achieve with reading a bit more? He got back his life, but he still wasn\'t living his fullest. He looked at Alderan, "You want to play?"

"Nope, I don\'t want to play with you.", he replied, and turned to the other side. Liu Feng\'s face twitched. "I asked you, do you want to play?", he raised his voice. Alderan could feel a chill in his voice. He got down and sat on the bed to play. "What are we playing?"

"We were playing speed till now, but since you guys joined, we can play rummy."

"Fine by me.", the two new additions agreed. They started playing for a few hours altogether, and lost track of time. Suddenly, their stomachs started grumbling. They got up and went to the cafeteria, but it was almost empty.

"Looks like we really lost track of time playing that game. I must make sure that it does not happen. I don\'t want to eat leftovers tomorrow.", Tesarion said.

Liu Feng and the others agreed.

The next day,

Liu Feng slept in like a log, until the first class was over. When he got up, he realized that he missed the first class, but he could get to the second class on time. So, he quickly dressed up and ran to the training grounds, to where he was yesterday. Yue Zhifeng was waiting for him apparently, as he was just sleeping there. He stood there without making a sound.
