KING LIGHTNING: RAIDEN
HALI'S POV
The depths of my eyes were possessing thousands of questions for Seraphina Hale, The Princess Of The Peaceful Weapon. Funny. I did not even identify her. This was why I needed to read the book of the Elemental Kingdom, taking it more seriously.
I recklessly sat on my swivel chair, ignoring Sera's presence on the bed when suddenly I felt bad for her. She looked awful with her so sad face as if announcing to be married to me was hell.
"We met, I saved you, we have an agreement. I should fuck you." Like what I was doing to Zarya, but in any aspect, I could not do that to her. Zarya was a satisfaction to my cock, that was the truth. "Why didn't you tell me that you are a princess? Is that fucking hard for you to trust the man who saves your ass off?"
"I just want to live in peace, King Water."
I rolled my eyes, folded my arms, and rotated my swivel chair, playing with it to cool myself. I must not shut at the princess. "Peace? You are a royal. There's no peace in there, even your blood shouting for chaos." I let out a sigh. I should be at this time filled with lust due to a woman in my bed, but nothing.
Am I abnormal? It was not usual for me to do none to a beautiful woman like Sra. Every time I tried, Zarya's face came out in my head. That Poor Little Thing bewitched me and my cock.
"I don't want to be royal." She was looking down, playing with her fingers.
"So do I." I shook my head. My father was really assured that I would take Seraphina tonight, so the wedding would be certain. He did not look after me; he knew I loved taking women, fucking them. Not in the mood tonight. Well, always.
"I want to be a human."
I froze and examined if she was sincere in her words. "Undoubtedly? Then, why?"
Silence filled my chamber. I observed her action; she was just lowering her head as if not telling me would save her.
"I am the Alpha King Of Water and I command you to say what's in your mind. Now!" The authority was in my voice, making sure she would be scared of me.
She moved her head up, gazed directly into my eyes, and said. "I like to be with Froy."

When I faced my back, my system was filled with shock, but I did not let the person in front of me noticed it. "Hey, Raiden."
His eyes narrowed, studying my features. I had no idea why when it came to him, he could control everything, even me. All of our brothers were listening to him, not just because of his clever mind and practical thinking, he had also the authority to make us all follow him.
"What did you do?" Four words, just damn four words, and I felt like bursting out the crime did! This was absurd!
"Just… walk around." I managed to lie on him, but his eyes turned small as if he was reading the depths of my soul. A moment had passed and he was still staring at me, waiting for me to confess. "Fine! Fucker!" I was full with annoyance when I continued speaking. "I carried Princess Seraphina to Human World."
His mouth moved open as his tantalizing eyes widened. At times, i did not want to look at him. He was so perfect! I hate him so bad!
"Are you out of your mind?" He gestured for me to follow him in his chamber. So I did. I had no option, if I did not, he would probably let his lightning touched my porcelain mascuaine body, specially my handsome face.
"You didn't think. Why would you do that?" He stayed calm even though he liked to should at my face until he ruined my ears in loudness.
"She wants to be with Froy. they love each other, I saw it." I folded my arms under my chest. Why the hell when I am with him, I felt so small? I felt like I was just a follower. I would not wonder if father appoint him as the Higher King one day.
"That's not the logical reason. You should ask for my opinion."
"That's it? Always consulting with you! Haven't you noticed? You are controlling all of us!" I shouted at him as I recklessly climbed on his bed and lay there comfortably.
"I'm not controlling you. I'm thinking of the other right option before decision. It's not all about what you want, King Water."
"Whatever!" I stood up rudely. I was about to walk at the door when he blocked me.
His eyes were directly into me when he spoke. "If something bad happened to her, you are responsible and if… the Elemental Kingdom summoned for trial, that's your fault." He moved closer to me. "Your problem is, you don't know how to listen."
"Wow." The sarcasm was in my tone. "Can't you understand! Sera wants to be with Froy! They love each other! How can I marry the woman whose heart belongs to my best friend!" I came closer to him. "Froy is my best friend and I will do everything to make him happy." I turned my back on him. "Friends are my priority because, at the end of the day, I have nothing… but them."
I was about to rotate the doorknob when he talked. "Is that just your intention? Or you are protecting every woman involved in you from your mother? You don't want the history to repeat itself when Kastrid died."
My feet were unable to step forward. I opened my mouth and bravely talked. "What do you know? You know nothing about me."
"Perhaps…" He walked toward me and tapped my shoulder. "I understand the fear, but think twice… Sera should be here. She is a princess who has a duty, just like us." He paused and tapped my shoulder twice for the second time. "You wish she has the freedom to choose, but she has never given."
I was about to open my mouth to say a word when he continued. "You either. You can't select Zarya over the kingdom because you… are the king. Most of your part will be offered to the Elemental Kingdom."
I faced him with my frozen emotion. "Everything is easy for you. How can you do that? I wish I were you." I turned my back to him for the second time. Again, I paused when I heard him.
"You haven't heard my story yet. I'll tell you some time…"
"I would love to hear it." I rotated the doorknob and left him with a heavy heart.
