King Potter hasn't give Supreme King Orlando an answer to his request yet, he had on asked that the Supreme King give him some time to think about it. And he knows that only thing keeping him in Tarah is the fact that he had asked for more time before he can give the Supreme King a definite answer, and whether he will leave here alive or not can also depend on his answer so he had to think carefully, and fast.
Breakfast was brought to his room. It had been three day since he get to Tarah, and so far he had not been treated like a prisoner Instead he was treated like a distinguished guest. A small note from Supreme King Orlando was put in the tray of food.
King Potter picked up the small piece of note, and check what was written there, it read 'I need an answer today.' A sigh escaped King Potter mouth and he lost appetite for food. He stood up from the chair he was sitting and paced around the room.
He had to do something and he knows what. The only option is to agree with the Supreme King or what choice donhe have? The Supreme King could have him killed and take over Dexon that same week, yes the force of Tarah is that strong judging from the fact that they are yet to ask for the armies of other kingdoms under them to join the battle, and they have defeated them (Dexons) so miserably.
He had really started the war at the wrong time King Potter thought, and now his daughter have to suffer for his decision by marrying someone who she does not love. Though he is of royal family and knows that most marriage in the royal family are not of love but arrange mostly to form alliance. But he don't want that for his children he knows how important it is that you love your partner in marriage, but here he is having to do that thing that he hate so much.
King Potter sighed for only the gods know how many times. He sat down back on the chair and start eating his food slowly, he had made up his mind he will have to agree to Supreme King Orlando request with the hope that maybe been an in law with the Supreme King will yield something positive.
