"Commander Aylin, what is your opinion about marriage?" 

Silence filled the hall again and this time, it was more deafening than how it had been the previous time. All pairs of eyes were fixed on her and Aylin gave them a blank look, not knowing why Azimir was asking her this question out of the blue.

'Does he want to marry me?' She wondered and shook the thought out of her mind the next instant. 'It cannot be. We have only known for a few days and the feelings we have for each other is yet to turn to love. He could not be thinking of marriage this quickly. What is his motive in asking me such a question in front of an audience?'

Aylin scowled, not liking the inquisitive gazes on her and she threw a cold look at Azimir, who only tilted his head innocently while his teasing smile and amusement-filled eyes said otherwise. She had the sudden urge to kill him for putting her in a spot and diverting everyone's attention on her.

"May I ask why you are asking me this question, Alpha Azimir?" Aylin did not falter and she returned with a question of her own, demanding Azimir to answer her indirectly.

"I was wondering what kind of a man would end up being your husband, Commander." Azimir's reply was instant. "You are are formidable woman, Commander and the man you marry must be capable himself. I was just curious to know what kind of a man you prefer."

Aylin gritted her teeth in irritation, Azimir's mysterious smile was annoying. 'Why did I not know he was this infuriating before? How was he able to hide his true self from me?' She wondered and gave him a knowing look.

Azimir grinned at her and raised his brows at her playfully. He had already deduced what was running in her mind. 'If not for you trying to shut me out of your life, I would not have changed this way, Aylin. I cannot continue to be my previous self if I wish to have you back in my life.' He answered her in his mind. 'Since my changed self can make you forget your dreadful memories and bring out other emotions in you other than your grief, I will stay this way forever.'

"I have not thought about it, Alpha. I have my priorities right now and marriage is not one of them. Let us see about it in the future." Aylin gave a perfunctory reply, one which pleased Azimir contrary to her expectations.

"Very well, I will wish that you get together with the perfect man in the world."

Aylin's lips twitched at his words and she silently scolded him for calling himself perfect. His shamelessness shocked her to no extent and she was at her wit's ends as she dealt with him.

Satisfied that the message has been conveyed, he nodded to himself and returned his attention to the royal family who was staring at him dumbly. Other than Dorothy who had a meaningful smile on her face, everyone else stared at him in confusion. He pressed his forehead, his jovial mood now ruined after watching their foolish expressions.

Other than Dorothy, the other three members of the royal family had complicated expressions on their faces and Azimir could not help but feel how unfortunate they were to have a king like Myron.

'Fortunately, his son might not become the next Alpha King. Otherwise, the world would be drowning in foolishness.' He condemned them strongly.

Unbeknownst to his thoughts, Josephine took this opportunity to approach the charming man beside her. "What is your opinion of marriage, Alpha Azimir?"

Dorothy's smile vanished and her face scrunched up at her daughter's boldness. This was the second time she was being displeased due to her children and she pursed her lips, unable to tolerate it anymore.

"Princess Josephine, please be mindful of your words." She warned her sternly and her daughter lost her complacent look. Baffled, she looked at her mother, complaining to her for calling her out in front of everyone even when she was not at fault.

Azimir understood what the Queen was trying to do. They were the royal family and even though he was beneath them, he was still a king. Any conversation about marriages had to be initiated by the elders to give the other person respect. In his case, neither he nor Aylin had any elder in the family and it did not matter who brought up the topic of marriage in between them.

But Josephine had her parents and without their consent, she had spoken her mind, losing all her manners and forgetting her etiquettes. But Azimir did not mind her impudence for once. He had initiated the topic for a reason and was waiting for someone to take the bait and amusingly, Josephine had taken it.

"Do not scare the child, Dorothy." Myron stopped his wife before she could scold his daughter more in front of outsiders. "Let us too find out what the ALpha of Ideni has in mind about marriage."

Myron had perceived what his daughter was trying to do and he too joined her to make Azimir like her. Since had already decided to retain the power and the throne with his family and make either his son or his son-in-law the next Alpha King, he had to start with his preparations. Azimir was a formidable man and the entire world approved of his abilities. He had to make him a member of his family before someone else did and this was a perfect time to take the first step.

"I had not thought about marriage previously. It was only recently that I started to think about it and now I am considering it seriously." Azimir's words hit Aylin's heart directly and she shivered. His meaning was clear, he intended to marry her. Even if she was unwilling and forcing him out of his life, he would still not give up on her.

"That is wonderful, Alpha." Dorothy smiled and she guessed what the young man was doing here. He was taking this chance to woo Aylin and since she had a favorable impression of both of them, she decided to give him a helping hand. "Do you have someone you like?"

As soon as the question escaped her lips, Azimir felt Josephine's probing gaze on him and he scoffed in his mind. 

"Yes, I do and I am thinking of proposing a marriage to her." He answered honestly, much to Aylin's disbelief and her eyes widened in horror. She could not understand what the man was trying to do. Though was exhilarated to find out his intentions of marrying her, she was still wary of the masked man who had his eyes on her. She did not know who it was and even if even he was here right now. 

Azimir's blatant display of affection, albeit indirectly scared her and she pleaded with him through her eyes to stop whatever he was doing.

Azimir understood her and his gaze softened. He knew what was concerning her for he had heard every word the unknown man had told her the previous night. The man had his eyes on her all the time, though he did not know how he was doing it. But considering his powers, he did not doubt him and in order to not put any more lives at risk, he gave up being mischievous. He had anyway obtained what he wanted for the day.

Aylin had not shown any traces of sadness or self-loathe and that was enough of an improvement for him. He was glad that she had decided to leave her manor and return to her position.. At least this way, she could forget about her misery for some time.
