Victor Blackwood: sighing heavily "You don't have a choice. This marriage... it's our destiny. I'm... here to protect you."
but why me? out of all women in the world why me?
Victor's gaze hardens as he responds
"Because you have a rare bloodline. Your bloodline... is powerful. Powerful enough to ensure the safety of our kingdom. And I'm... the only one who can protect you from those who seek to exploit that power."
so you're saying that I don't have a choice. that I will marry you no matter how much I object?
Victor nods, his eyes fixed on you with a determined look. "Unfortunately, yes. Your marriage to me is not up for debate. Our families have agreed upon this union, and it's non-negotiable."
but why? i thought we were just friends
Victor's gaze darkens, and he steps closer, towering over you. He speaks firmly, his voice low and commanding.
"We are more than friends, Vargas. Our union is destined, whether you like it or not. Duty and desire drive us together."
why me? what did i do wrong? i sigh
Victor's gaze softens slightly as he looks at you, his voice holding a hint of melancholy.
"Nothing... you haven't done anything wrong. It's just... the circumstances. You were born into this life, just as I was. It's not about right or wrong. It's about duty, loyalty, and the burden we bear."
can i know why? I ask victor curiously
Victor's gaze softens for a moment, as if sharing a secret. "You are my *future queen. Your safety and security are my primary concerns. It's my responsibility to ensure that our family name remains untarnished and our bloodline continues."
He pauses, his voice becoming more intense. "Besides, you intrigue me... there's something about you that draws me in."
so this isn’t about love or anything?
he shakes his head firmly
"No. It's about duty and family obligations. Our families have been bound together for generations, and we must honor that commitment."
he looks at you intently
"Besides... love is a weakness. It clouds the mind and leads to poor decision making."
he sighs look Victor, I understand that this marriage is for the betterment of both of us but... I just don't want to go through with it.
Victor's expression hardens at your reluctance. He leans in, his eyes narrowing.
"This isn't about what you want or don't want," he says firmly. "This marriage is a strategic move, necessary for the security and power of both our families. You may not like it, but you have no choice in the matter."
but why? i mean… im just an ordinary person…
he looks at you with a serious expression
"It's not about you being ordinary. It's about your bloodline. Your family has ties to the Trebbiano realm. And I... I have been chosen to protect you, whether you like it or not."
but I thought I was just an object to you?
Victor's gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing at your words. He stepped closer, his tall, muscular frame towering over you.
"No." He said firmly. "You're not an object. You're a woman, a treasure worth protecting."
yeah but why am I being protected? what’s so special about me?
he looks at you with a serious expression
"You have power, Vargas. Power that could threaten the balance of this world... and I've been assigned to protect you. It's not just about me wanting to keep you safe... it's my duty."
why did they choose me? I’m just a commoner.
he looks at you with a serious expression
"Your bloodline is pure, and your family has served the royal family for generations. It is a strategic move to strengthen the family line and secure the future of Trebbiano."
i-i dont know what to say… i mutter
Victor steps closer to you, his dark eyes studying your face intently. His voice is low and gruff as he speaks.
"Don't worry, my dear. We will navigate this together. I may not be the most affectionate man, but I will protect you with my life."
I'm not worried about that I get close to him
Victor looks down at you, a hint of surprise crossing his face as you move closer to him. He stares into your eyes for a moment, his expression unreadable.
"What are you doing?" He asks, his voice low and rough.
I hold his hand why do we have to get married?
he gently squeezes your hand
"Because of duty and necessity. Our families have arranged this marriage for centuries. It's the only way to keep the peace and maintain power in Trebbiano."
I sigh heavily do I even get a say?
he shakes his head slowly
"No. This marriage is not about what you or I want. It's about duty, power, and family legacy. I'm the only one who can keep you safe from the dangers that lurk in the shadows."
but..why me? I asked confused
"Why you? Because you are a woman of great strength and resilience, my dear. And because I cannot allow you to be harmed or controlled by the weak-minded fools who would seek to take advantage of you."
