Chapter 9 If you forcefully marked Princess Angelina
***-Oliver's POV-***
It was a gloomy day, and my mood was as bad as the dark clouds.
The Alpha King summoned me, especially in the morning, and he told me that today Princess Angelina would go to a regular university.
"Why not a royal university? The ordinary university is not safe for a royal princess."
The Alpha King said: "I thought so too, but Angelina insisted on going to an ordinary university. As her grandfather, I owe her a lot. I will meet any request she makes as much as possible."
"But the security issue..."
"I have found two boys to protect her secretly." Alpha King said after a pause, "Actually, there's another thing I came to you to say..."
"Oliver, you know, I've always admired you. And you saved my granddaughter, I simply don't know how to reward you. I wish you and Angelina would get married, it couldn't be more perfect..."
I had butterflies in my stomach, and my lips were dry. I was too nervous to say a word and could only look up at the king sitting on his throne.
"However, I proposed to Angelina about a month ago to get engaged to you, and unfortunately Angelina did not agree. You know, as I said before, I owe her a lot. I was a failed grandfather and I let her suffer for so many years out there. So I won't push her, I will meet all her requests and respect all her decisions."
She refused the engagement proposal. My heart is bleeding, but I have to accept that.
I made a tough sound, "I understand. I will also respect all the decisions of the princess."
"Oh no, Oliver, you missed my point. I summoned you and told you this, not to make you give up, but to make you fight. I will not force my granddaughter to marry someone she doesn't like, but I do hope that the man she likes is someone as outstanding as you are, and preferably the one she likes is you."
I dropped to one knee and pressed my palm to my heart, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty."
The Alpha King: "Don't thank me in advance yet. My appreciation is not the same as Angelina's. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what type of man Angelina likes. I have four candidates for heir, and you are all excellent alphas whom I have handpicked. I have watched you all grow up and I know your personalities and qualities. I would be very happy if Angelina liked any one of the four of you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
So I have four competitors, not just for the throne, but for the love of Princess Angelina.
The Alpha King: "One more thing, since your task of training new Alpha Warriors is not yet complete, I had to send Prince Adam and Prince Alex to school to protect Angelina. They have enrolled in school half a month ago."
Adam and Alex! It's them, the twin heirs, damn it!
"Don't be nervous. Relax, I didn't tell Angelina their real identities. Angelina thought they were bodyguards and didn't know they were one of the heirs. So, your chances are the best. I admit that I am biased in favor of you. I didn't tell the three of them about this, I only told you. When your training mission is over, I will arrange for you to enter that university."
" Enter the university to study?"
" Enter the university to be a teacher."
Ever since the Alpha King talked to me, my heart could not be at peace for a moment. Every second was a long wait and torture for me.
Adam and Alex were at Princess Angelina's side, they were together every day, and if the princess liked one of them, the king would surely agree to their marriage.
I had to ask my subordinates to inquire how the princess was doing at college, and, as a result, they brought me even worse news.
Princess Angelina seemed fascinated with a man named Matthew on the first day of college. They had lunch together, and I heard that Matthew even invited the princess to dinner in public.
The only relief for me was that the princess seemed to have declined Matthew's invitation. But I still couldn't be relieved because they would see each other again tomorrow even if they didn't meet tonight.
When I thought of Princess Angelina, my mind was filled with that unexpected kiss and her soft lips.
The wolf in my head kept growling, "If you forcefully marked Princess Angelina while you were in the medical room, she would have belonged only to you."
"Shut up! I can't do something so bastardly."
"Yo, who pissed off Prince Oliver today? What's with the stinky face?"
Hearing Prince Jerry's voice, I gave him a cold glare: "Leave me alone. Go fuck yourself."
What a lousy day! Annoying people appeared one by one. First, it was Adam and Alex, then Matthew, and finally Jerry.
Jerry is my crony, and I am happy to see him, except for today as the Alpha King let me know he also wanted to marry Princess Angelina to Jerry.
Jerry: "So grumpy fellow, what's going on? Let me guess, I heard that King Alpha came to you today, did he reprimand you? Is it because of that whore who came to you for money last time?"
I remained silent with a grim face, while Jerry seemed to misunderstand something; he covered his mouth but still made a wow sound.
"Geez, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't think it was true. Oh brother, tell me if you don't have money, I'll give you. Next time you go whoring swipe my card. Wait, with your handsome appearance, you don't need to spend money to sleep with hookers. I bet there are a thousand hotties willing to pay to sleep with you if you want."
"That's enough Jerry. no whores, not hookers. Stop kidding around, I'm not in the mood."
"Okay, my bad. I was just curious. A solemn guy like you, who spends his days with guns and weapons, suddenly has a scandal with a woman, and everyone thinks it's a novelty. Don't worry, every one of us trusts you. All of us can explain to the king if you need to. We vouch that you're not one of those bastards who don't pay for whores."
