"She's pregnant." He confessed, becoming pale all of a sudden. His lips beco livid as if he would faint at any second.
His reaction was understandable, it was a scandalous if couple would give up to sexual activities before having married first. It would drastically mark the end of a lady reducing future possibilities of marrying and she would be destinate to remain alone for the rest of her life.
"Oh and here I thought you were a virgin." John say sarcastically and giggled. Seeing his unmoved expression he changed his approach, "okay okay. Sorry." He raised his hands, gazing at the man in front of him that seed completely miserable.
"You two have to marry as soon as possible. So it won't be a scandal when the belly starts to show." He said getting a slow nod from his cousin. That was the most common and effective solution when outrageous events like that happened.
"This is why I ca here. You have to annul the wedding and postpone it so that we can marry first." He required, his eyes were pleading him and his hands went to grab his arm, "please."
King John rolled his eyes, "okay fine."
His grip thighten and a smile ford on his lips, his face from palid beca more colored. "Thank you. Thank you."
"Hmmm, but you have sothing to do for in return."
He pursed his lips, "predictable."
John continued ignoring his comnt, "when I will ask your presence you have to co and do whatever I ask you to do."
"Presence for what? Are you planning sothing evil?" Victor asked and John tilted his head, like if he was deciding whether to answer or not.
Seeing he was not getting any response to his question beside a doubtful glance he spoke again, "I can help you unless it doesn't include killing soone."
John's lips curved up in a hinted smile, "fine." He stretched his hand, Victor hesitated for so seconds and then shook his hand.
"Don't tell Roselyn about what I told you. Abigail wants to keep it secret." He said staring at him.
"But I have to tell her a reason. She will wonder why our wedding is been postponed." John scratched his head.
Lord Victor shrugged, "you lie to everyone all the ti. I don't think it would be a problem to lie to her." His tone of voice was tacky again which ant he recovered well and regained his usual annoying attitude towards the King.
"I will try to invent sothing. But you owe , rember." John replied, his voice was low sounding like a threatening.
He gestured to the servant to enter to accompany him out, they both nodded to each other. When Lord Victor finally left John sighed shooking his head. Victor was always the sa, loathing him until he needed sothing. He promised himself he wouldn't fail for his traps anymore but this ti he seed very lost and desperate.
Moreover he didn't want to hurt Roselyn's sister, they already were having enough 'marital problems' to take care of.
Roselyn, anti, was in her room playing with a wave of her hair curling it around her finger while her mind wandered what they were possibly saying. Wondering if sooner or later she will finally get the privilege of being considered part of the family and be involved in their matters. She was going to beco his wife soon and that would involve her in the family that they liked it or not.
Her unconscious mind brought her back to reality abruptly when she rembered that she did the sa earlier having lied to him about her concerns regarding Sharon's disapproval. Maybe she should be the first one to be honest next ti and share more with him before jumping into rush conclusions.
She heard soone knocking at the door and she knew very well that the maids barely entered in her room and when they did they never knocked on the door, they directly broke in shalessly without minding if she wanted so privacy or not.
"Wait!" She shouted, fixing her dress and her hair before heading to open the door, just like she imagined, it was John at the door.
"Hi." He smiled shyly, Roselyn returned the smile.
"He just went to offer his apologize about our first eting." He lowered down his gaze when words ca out his mouth then he glazed at her.
"That's a nice gesture of him." She comnted. She was glad that her sister t such a nice man.
"He also asked if.."
He cleared his voice, when it ca out strangely low, "if we could postpone our marriage because he wanted to marry Abigail before."
Roselyn's eyes narrowed for so instants than she nodded, "okay. I guess she always wanted to be the first one to marry." She replied willing to sacrifice all the preparations and the thrilling excitent she felt to let her sister's fulfill her dreams.
She owned that to her, if that's what would make her sister happy then she could wait for few more weeks. "Maybe we can take care of Lord David anwhile." He added, Roselyn nodded at his statent.
He turned around probably willing to get out of her room when her voice's call made him pause, "wait."
He turned his head to face her, "I just wanted to thank you for having told . I want to be fully honest with you since now on. Just like you are with ." Her smile was genuine and grateful, he remained impassible hearing her saying, then he turned over again and found his way out.
Hearing the door closing behind his shoulders she took a long breath, expecting a different reaction for him, although it was nothing to be surprised of. His strong reputation of being emotionless warned her about his attitude, beside that she seed willing to believe he would change if for her or at least softened.
Maybe it was too much to ask, and if soone would read through her thoughts they would probably think she was a spoiled ungrateful girl for having the opportunity to be proposed by the King to be his wife and in change obtain the life she always wanted.. Truthfully enough wasn't regretting the choice she made, despite she couldn't imagine it was going to be so hard to earn his trust back.
