Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 151 - Lover Boy

"We still have to find out," John cut it short. The vampire girl nodded but her expression revealed she didn't trust that answer much. Yet she pretended to have bought that and gazed at Roselyn in front of her "I can't wait to find out then, will she join us in the fight to take back control over Kratez?"

"She will," John replied once again with his usual peeved tone of voice, "she is very powerful we need her help."

Roselyn unconsciously smiled at John for defeating her and then darted her gaze toward the woman who was looking at her like if she wanted to scrutinize and find out what she had so special to caught John's attention but the more she looked at her the more she couldn't understand, sure enough, she was very beautiful but John always had beautiful girls by his side.

Roselyn gazed at her back noticing how persistent her gaze was and slightly being annoyed, what did she want from him? Why were they all obsessed with him?

Roselyn tried not to roll her eyes and instead offered a smile that although her good effort turned out to be forced, "Is everything alright?" she asked slightly tilting her head.

The woman took another bite keeping her gaze straight on Roselyn, she surely seemed very open to argue but Roselyn couldn't allow that, she was still the Queen of Scotland and she couldn't lose her patience very quickly. She took a long breath when she saw the woman opening her mouth and finally replying to her, "I just was lost in thought," she lied so subtly that Roselyn couldn't even believe for a second what she heard.

"In two days let's meet in front of the castle, so we can reach Kratez and infiltrate," John remarked and the woman stood up and reached the door before turning around and waving at John barely deigning Roselyn and Ethan of a gaze before finally budging the door and walking outside.

Roselyn finally took a brief of relief seeing her gone.

John walked toward his wife and placed his hand over her shoulder, "you shall not be concerned about her, you're the only one I have ever love and will ever love." John said and in his voice, Roselyn couldn't find even a glimpse of inference.

"I know," Roselyn replied even if she was still doubtful and even if she trusted John a lot she couldn't stop being worried about her or disliking that woman. She spent so much time with John and had known him for years while Roselyn just knew him for few months.

"Why you asked her to help?" Roselyn couldn't stop herself from asking that question, but after all, it was a plausible question.

"Because she is very powerful." He replied with the most obvious reason yet Roselyn felt slightly annoyed and a part of her was motivated to become stronger than her just so that for the next occasion John didn't feel the need to ask her help.

"So now if everything goes according to the plans, we should have Victor's help and her help too, we may have some chances then." Ethan said, receiving a nod from John, "yes we could."

"We should have faith," John replied sharing an understanding gaze with Roselyn.

Then John pushed his brother into the near room to chat with him more privately, Ethan looked at him quietly puzzled until John spoke, "I have to ask you a favor."

Ethan nodded curiously to hear what he would want from him, "if the situation gets bad save Roselyn before me."

"W-w-what?" Ethan said he couldn't believe his brother would ask him such a thing, did he lose his mind?

"If you ever had to choose, save her instead of me. Please, this is the only favor I ask you." John insisted on seeing his brother's facial expression becoming more and more shocked.

"You can't ask me to do such a thing," Ethan replied before a brief consideration and realizing he didn't know what to do. Should he do what he was asked to do?

"She had already risked her life many times for me, I guess it's my turn," John said glancing at Roselyn just to travel back his gaze toward his brother who limited himself to take a long breath and nod giving up to his will.

"I will try my best to keep all three of us safe but if the situation gets critical, I will do it. I promise." Ethan sighed and John smiled stretching his hand, his brother hesitated few seconds before shaking his hand and return John's smile.

They turned in the hall and Roselyn was gazing at John with a questioning gaze like if she was wondering what they were discussing privately but John shook his head as if he wanted to tell her that was nothing important.

Roselyn then followed John toward his room, and just after entering John turned around and giggled at her, probably to prevent her from asking what he talked to his brother about he changed the matter as soon as it was brought up.

"I like when you're jealous." He said but Roselyn knitted her eyebrows and folded her arms, "I am not jealous."

That was probably the most common lie that every man can hear from her woman and it was clear Roselyn was for the way she replied to that woman and the way she looked at her.

"Oh, you're not?" John asked suffocating another laugh and tilting his head to stare at Roselyn's facial muscles tensed up at his provocation.

"I don't know what you do but there's always someone who wants to ste..."

Roselyn soon paused her saying as soon as she understood what was escaping from her lips. "Who wants to have you." She changed her approach but John's eyebrow was already knitted up and his lips pursed, "What were you saying?" He whispered with an idiot smile on her face making Roselyn regret not to think at least ten times before letting her words split out her tongue.

They both giggled and hugged and Roselyn decided to focus on more important things than a woman who is hanging from John's lips.
