Adrianna turned back sharply to face him. She stared into those black eyes that were now burning with anger as all her words left her. Her heart felt heavy.
"Tell me your answer," he said menacingly. She felt as though she was stuck inside an iceberg, frozen, all life leaving her body. She stumbled back a little and pointed a shaky finger towards him.
"Don't you have anything to say? I asked you to marry me. So tell me, what are you thinking?" he demanded.
But her mind was blank. Her eyes were wide as she stared at him in horror. She thought, "What has he done? This is against the treaty."
His eyes desperately searched hers, waiting…
She said, "I have to tell Grandfather!"
He narrowed his eyes and replied coldly, "Sure, then I will just have to finish him off."
