chapter 3:The Rumours

Asteria>

"Your Highness, your bride is on her way," Camden, Prince Ethan's aide informed him.

Ethan stopped what he was doing, as a bright smile appeared on his face.

"She finally decides to show up, I thought I would have to go to her country just to bring her here," Ethan scoffed, but one could see that he had an excited smile.

"Why did you decide to get married to Princess Adelaide?" Camden asked. He was still confused by this. But then again, Ethan was not one to take drastic actions, there must have been a perfect reason for his decisions.

"Isn't this the best way to end the war? You have always wanted me to end the war, and I have called it off, why do you keep asking questions?" Ethan asked with visible confusion on his face.

"I know, but I believe there is a better way to end the war, than getting married to the Princes of Dystopia, the Elders would not be happy with this, and although they are not complaining in your presence, I have heard rumors about them being dissatisfied with your decision," Camden explained to him.

"Is that so? I had no idea the Elders would want to teach me how to take care of my country, this is such an eye-opener," Ethan laughed, but with obvious distaste.

He did not take the Elders seriously, as they had shown how incompetent they are. Ethan did not need their approval.

"But, Your Highness, the Elders have been in power for a long time, I don't think it is proper to dismiss their worries," Camden sighed.

Ethan had always been a stubborn Prince. Camden still wondered how he was able to cope with Prince Ethan's erratic mood.

"Ohh, they have been in power for long? I guess it is time for them to retire, that aside, do you know when my bride would arrive? I can't wait to see her," Ethan effectively changed the topic.

He did not want to listen to anything regarding the elders. They were such a nuisance.

Camden exhaled. It was a hassle to work with Ethan.

"Dystopia is quite far from Asteria, she should be arriving in three weeks' time," Camden replied.

"Three weeks? That is too far, I want to see my bride," Ethan complained.

"Your Highness, I feel it is best you let her stay on the road for a while, it will give her time to adjust to the news, after all, you have such a horrible reputation, so she needs to adjust to being your bride," Camden advised.

Ethan turned silent, as he quietly considered Camden's words.

"You are right, I should wait for her then, meanwhile, let's visit those traitors, don't you think?" Ethan had a mysterious smile on his face as he rose from his seat.

Camden silently lit a candle for the people in the dungeon. Ethan always got excited when it came to torturing the truth out of people, and the three people in the dungeon just happened to betray him, which was a crime Ethan despised.
