I Scored Myself A Mate - Chapter 432 - 432

Chapter 432 – 432

Allias had manners. He was usually polite and well behaved. There were rarely people who didn't like him once they met him and some, many times got charmed by his talents. But at times like these the first thing Allias chose to forget were manners. Manners and proper language, also he stopped liking people in a way. Even the ones who were by his side. The king was a very fragile person, and it took only one thing to make him snap. That thing, or more like that one tall white haired and mysterious man named Theseus. The moment anyone dared to even refer to Theseus things changed. Allias was not all smiled any more, he preferred biting and scratching. Yes, that was a more appropriate way to describe his reaction and yes he had bitten someone before because they insulted Theseus. Childish actions of his old youth, now he was older, mature, a king so would he do it again? Absolutely yes. 

That was why the moment he reached Rayla's room, spear held tightly in his hand he stopped, finding Ares in his path staring at him with a frown. The  young Disee prince had been not informed about anything and had been actually made to keep guard with no information at all. He stood in front of Allias with his hands crossed over his chest and tapping his foot on the polished floor. 

"Allias, why the hell do we have to…" he started saying but he couldn't finish his sentence. Allias pointed at him with the enormous spear, making him gasp. 

"Move, ugly." Allias said, his face completely serious. 

"Excuse me what?" he asked and then Mark grabbed his arm pulling him to the side. 

"Let's have a talk dear prince." He told Ares, removing him from Allias' sight. 

The king stood in front of Rayla's door and for a second he thought of his entrance. He of course wouldn't knock but still, she was a lady what if she was undressed? He cleared his throat and shouted loudly. 

"I am coming in!" Then with his boot he kicked the wooden door breaking it into many large and sharp pieces. 

Rayla didn't seem surprised. She was sitting on her bed with a closed book resting on her lap. The space did not have any sign of being lived in, even the bed was neatly made, the chair in the desk pushed inside and the bookcase was untouched except that little spot where her book used to be. Allias spotted with his eyes Ea sitting outside the small window. 

"That is quite an entrance." she said, pieces of wood fell all around her but the space surrounding her did not have anything, not even a splinter. She had probably shielded herself. 

"I know right. It's almost like I am making a statement." 

"You're mad." Rayla said and Allias laughed. 

"Well if you think about the fact that you got my boyfriend kidnapped with your stupidity!" he shouted, his green eyes filled with hatred. His face was actually beginning to turn red. He was restraining himself really hard from slitting her throat right at that moment but he remembered her crying mother and all she had been through. So he had decided he would listen to her first and then he would kill her. 

"What?" Rayla asked, surprised. "Why would he get kidnapped?" 

"The fact that you have no idea what you did is the most infuriating of all" Allias said between gritted teeth. He was shaking the enormous spear right and left, it's sharp tip scratching the wall and leaving long lines on it. Rayle stared at it, recognizing the elegant design. 

"I wouldn't wield that like a toothpick if I were you" she said.

"Oh believe me if I was doing that you would already be dead." he told her with a psychotic smile. "Start talking, what did you do and most importantly why did you do it?" 

"How do I know you won't kill me afterwards?" she asked. For a person that was being threatened by a king she didn't seem to be phased by this at all. From her stance to her calm way of speaking everything pointed towards her being completely confident. Everything except the sweat that was gathering on her forehead. 

"I might kill you, I might not kill you. All depending on your answer and how honest I find you." 

"Still that is not any guarantee that…"

"Speak!" Allias shouted at her and his spear touched the floor. The whole ground began to shake, his usual move when he wanted to intimidate someone. This time though it lasted longer, it was louder and more intense. Because he didn't want to scare her, he didn't care about that, he simply needed to release his nerves somehow. Time was ticking and Theseus was still nowhere to be found, he did not have time to negotiate here. 

"Alright, fine. I…I was being transferred here. The reason why it took me so long to arrive was because the moment we entered the palace a royal man waited for us. He took me into his house and told me that if I wanted to live I should not accept to marry you. He also said that there was no home anymore, I was the only Avgee girl remaining and that everyone else was dead. I know that my family is fine though,the Kardia elves are different, they hid but I didn't tell him that. I can't be sent home, they will kill me. So I told him I needed a place in the palace. I can't be left alone. I have no one. He then told me that the current king was ruthless and evil, he would never support me and by marrying him I would put a target on my back because no one wants him as a ruler. I didn't know what to do, all the soldiers and the staff agreed with him. So I asked for help. He suggested then that I ask to marry Theseus, he told me he was a general, he had high status and would be nice to me even if he didn't love me. I was told that I would be killed if I married you, that you would try to trick me into thinking that you were  kind and…" 

"That's enough." Allias said. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down, taking a deep breath. "You my dear were tricked, awfully so."

"How can I believe you?"

"I don't know! Maybe because the man you asked to marry somehow disappeared the next day? Hmm I wonder what that could mean." Allias said. 

"I…I didn't want to cause anyone any harm. I just wanted to be able to live…I didn't want to die." she said. Rayla did not cry as she said that. The king looked into her eyes, the strength in them, the need to survive. That's what had kept her alive all these years and she was not regretting it. 

"Listen here." Allias said. "By you saying that you want to marry Theseus you practically announce that yours and his child will be a candidate for the throne, meaning that Theseus would intend to take my throne. The royal who asked you to do that simply wanted Theseus out of the way because he can now present him as a threat to the monarchy and have all the other royals participate too. After he gets rid of him, oh gods they are planning to kill him, they will come for me. Because he knows that if we are together there is no way we will be defeated." 

"I…I did that?" Rayla asked in obvious shock.

"No my dead aunt did it, yes you, you did it!" Allias exclaimed. "And if you don't want to die you will help me. With everything that I will ask you."
