"My father, would not agree to it. I have been betrothed to a man since my birth," Lady magret revealed. She felt bitter saying those words but she knew she had to.

    She has been looking for ways to call off the stupid engagement but her father was always stopping her.

    " What? " prince Edward was surprised by her statement. He had felt very happy when Lady magret had said she liked him. Who would have thought he rejoiced too soon.

    "But he may change his mind since this is for the greatest good. Especially since you like me. Or are you willing to marry the man?" prince Edward asked.

    "No, lady magret shook her head." I don''t like him. He is so full of himself, " Lady Magret said with a frown on her face.

    " Then let me talk to father, I am sure your uncle will agree. Then your father would not disobey his king. Or do you think he would?" prince Edward asked.

    "No,  but my father is cunny. He did get me married to Gam overnight to ensure it never happened. Father would not listen to me. He would conclude I was been childish. Lady magret said.

    " Then what should we do or do you still want to Marry him,? " prince Edward asked getting closer to her.

    "No, I would try to make him call off the engagement. I have done everything to ensure father calls off the engagement but he is stubborn.

    " What do you plan to do? Tell me if you need help," Prince Edward asked.

    " Don''t worry about that, you just ensure that the war between our kingdoms comes to an end. Once Gam''s family calls off the engagement. It will be difficult to get another family from Vemus to want to Marry me. That way father would not have a choice when you ask to marry me, " Lady magret explains.

    Prince Edward nodded his head but he hated the plan. There were so many things that could go wrong. What if the Gam''s family does not call off the engagement. Moreover how long would he have to wait before that even happens?

    " But what if they don''t call off the engagement like we want?" He asked.

    "Don''t worry they will?" Lady magret replied with confidence as she tried to come up with a plan.

    Prince Edward seeing the confidence in her eyes nodded his head. "How long will it take you to make this happen. I mean, how long would I have to wait?" prince Edward asked.

    Lady magret raised her brows. "Do you think I am not worth the wait no matter how long it takes? She asked.

    " Of course my lady, I will wait for how long it takes, " prince Edward kissed her hand.

    " Then it is settled that you are mine, " she stated possessively.

    " yes, my lady and you mine, " Prince Edward said.  Lady magret nodded her head with a smile. The two stayed looking at each other and would have kissed if the second prince did not walk in at that moment.

    "Brother," prince Ericsson called as he walked in. He was a bit surprised at the position he meet the two but he did not make any comment.

    "Lady Magret," he nodded his head at her.

    "your highness," Lady magret nodded her head back.

    "Brother father asks to see you, the meeting with the people from Vemuns is over," prince Ericsson said. Prince Edward and Lady magret exchange a glance. They wondered if the meeting was successful.

    "My lady, a voice was heard that just walked into the library. Your highness the maid bowed to the two princes.

    " your father asks for you, " the maid turned looking at lady Magret.

    Lady magret looked at the maid and nodded her head. She could already guess that things did not go right, seeing the body language of the second prince. So she tiptoe and kissed prince Edward on the cheek before following after the maid.

    She was scared that she would never be able to see him again once she left the kingdom. Prince Edward had a smile on his face watching her leave.

    "What happened between you two?" prince Ericsson could not stop herself from asking.

    "I like her, and she is the one I want to make my Queen," Prince Edward replied.

    "What? You do know that is next to impossible right? Our kingdoms are still at war," prince Ericsson tried to talk senses into his brother.

    "yes, but we are about to solve that right?" prince Edward replied. Prince Ericsson just shook his head not able to understand what his brother was thinking.

    "Father is waiting," prince Ericsson said.

    Let go, " Prince Edward said. His hand was still on the spot that lady magret had kissed him.

    ..

    Meanwhile, lady Magret and her father were set to leave the royal Palace of Avalo.

    " Father, why are we suddenly leaving today?" Lady magret asked as she sat in the carriage with her father.

    "We have no business remaining here," lord Phineas said with a sour expression on his face.

    "What do you mean father. Has the war ended?" Lady Magret asked. She knew the answer to her question. If the meeting had gone smoothly they would have eaten lunch together to start the new friendship.

    "the war has been put on hold?" lord Phineas replied. Lady Magret could see that her father was upset about something but she has ignored it. All she wanted was to know the real situation of this.

    "by hold what do you mean?" Lady magret asked.

    "It means what it means. There would be no battle until I return to Venus and the king is aware of the demands from Avalo. If the king accept then there would be a trance or maybe would continue to be enemies and be on each other throat," Lord Phineas said.

    Lady magret felt her blood run cold as she listened to her father. There was no way she was going to be with Prince Edward if the kingdoms were enemies.

    She wondered what she could do to help the situation. She closed her eyes and started to think of what her life will become hereafter.

    "Hope you remember your promise before we came here?" lord Phineas asked.

    "Which promise might that be father," she asked even if she guessed it would have to be about her marriage to Gam.

    "Your marriage to Gam," lord Phineas said.

    "yes father," Lady magret nodded her head.

    "Then you should plan to fulfill it. I have decided that you would get married in the next seven days," lord Phineas said.

    "Father?" Lady magret was surprised by his decision.. How was she going to come up with a plan that could cancel the marriage in seven days? What on earth was her father thinking.
