    Eve sighed softly as she smoothed out the sleeve on her coat jacket. She was supposed to be meeting her father at the main estate they had to discuss something that would effect her future. The brunette could only assume it involved the king and the rumors of him finally agreeing with his advisors to settle down, marry and secure his line by having a son. Of course Eve wanted nothing to do with it because she had ready enough history books to know well that usually ended but when wealth and power was involved in Bat Country any lord and duke would do anything to gain it. She sat, feet crossed in front of her in her father's study when she heard her father's voice with an unfamiliar one. They were discussing business which made her frown. She hated being stuck listening in on such boring matters but since she was the only offspring her mother and father had produced she would be forced to so she could learn. Eve watched as the door opened, her eyes widening when she saw her father and the king himself standing together. She was shocked, unsure why Matt was here and what her father was doing but it made her extremely uneasy.

    Matt smiled at Mr. Kingsley, shaking his hand before he looked over at Evelyn. It wasn't like he randomly strolled up and picked her to marry him out of nowhere. A lot of thought and business went into this. He could have married anyone he wanted, but he chose Evelyn because their families together would have a strong foundation to support all of them. Plus, the girl was beautiful, and he knew her father would agree without a second thought. He walked over to the young lady, outstretching his hand towards her. "Hello," he greeted kindly.

    Eve quickly stood up and curtsied the best she could in her form fitting dress. She looked over at her father with questioning eyes, only seeing him grinning as if he had won the lottery or something. "Hello your majesty," she greeted Matt, knowing if she didn't greet him properly she would be punished later. Eve's father offered Matt the seat his daughter had just been seated in and lightly shoved her onto the ottoman next to it. "Evelyn darling the king and I have wonderful news for you," he beamed. "He has chosen you to be his bride." Eve's body went tense as she listened to her father. She didn't want to be used as a pawn for power by her father or as some eye candy by the king. She wanted to marry someone she loved but now she knew she would have no choice or say in the matter.

    Matt looked at her father and tilted his head to the side. "I can handle myself, Mr. Kingsley," he said, looking back at Evelyn. "Please, call me Matthew." He gently scooped her hand into his and pulled her back to her feet, pulling her hand up and kissing the back of it. "Pleasure to meet you." He was completely mesmerized by her bright blue eyes, and the way they shined in the light. "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" He didn't mean to be a complete kiss-ass, that wasn't his goal here, and he wasn't trying to make her fall for him either, he was being honest.

    Eve waited until her father left the room to slowly pull her hand out of Matt's grasp. She stood up, looking away from the king and walked over to the small bar, deciding she needed some whiskey to clear her head. She poured herself some of the amber liquid, gulping it all down before she looked in his direction again. "I know your reputation with women your majesty," she stated. "I know all I'll end up being is a trophy wife that occasionally pushes out children to keep your position on the throne secure." She licked over her chapped lip, leaning against the bar as she found the courage to say what she wanted to next. "I may not have any choice in my life because of who my father is but to be very honest the reasons you are marrying me make me sick to my stomach and makes me wish I was living in the poor house instead."

    Matt raised an eyebrow as he watched her. "So, me marrying you because I'm interested in your personality and I find you very beautiful makes you sick to your stomach?" he questioned. "What kind of man do you want to marry, Evelyn?" He chuckled softly and shook his head. "Your family just happens to have money. I could have married anyone I wanted to, but I chose you. You should feel honored."

    "You treat women like whores behind closed doors," Eve stated. "Who is to say that our marriage wouldn't just be simply a facade while you sleep around behind my back?" She sat down, facing Matt and studied his body to see how he would react to her words. "I don't trust any kings or any men in power no matter what country they're from. Power corrupts any who grasp it." She held her head high as she spoke, thinking of a way to answer his question. "I want to marry for love not because my father sees me as an opportunity to rise to more power and I know you probably only see me as more power to add to your own."

    Matt smiled at her. "You have me all wrong, Evelyn," he said. "I don't treat women like whores. I've only ever slept with three women. I shouldn't have to tell you that, but since you're so sure I'm a terrible man, I'll have to explain myself to you. I've been in power for years and I'm exactly the same as I was before my parents passed away. I see you as a beautiful young woman who I would love to get to know. I'm not sure how you see me, but whatever you were thinking, I can disprove it."

    "I've never even met you before and you claim you know my personality," She stated. "I assume you've either heard lies about me from my father who would do anything to marry me off or perhaps one of your lords spied on me for a little while." She stood up, grabbing herself another drink and sipped from the glass before she spoke again. "You know as soon as the rumors of you looking for a bride reached my father's ears I couldn't be around Johnny or Zacky anymore," she mumbled. "My father assumed if I associated with men I'd be called a whore." She looked over at the king as she took another drink. "What do you think? A lady alone with two men, laughing and drinking until they all pass out. Does that make her a whore?"

    "I never claimed to know your personality," Matt corrected her. "I said you seem like you have a lovely personality. And I would like to get to know you." He walked over to the bar and took a seat across from hr. "I'm sorry you couldn't be around your friends. I don't think that makes you a whore. Maybe if you'd like, we could have them over for dinner this week. Any friend of yours is welcome in my home."

    "What happens if we get married and you find out I'm not worth the trouble," Eve asked. "Would you keep us in an unhappy marriage or would you divorce me?" She wanted to know if she ended up agreeing to marrying him that she always had a way that involved staying alive. Eve knew enough about other countries and Matt's father own reign and how disposable some queens were.

    "If you were ever unhappy, I would let you go," Matt told her. "I would miss you dearly. And I would like to hope that you would give me a chance before you decide you don't like it in the castle. But I think you will like it. You have everything you could ever want."

    "When did you and my father decide we are to be married," Eve asked. She was curious as to how long he assumed it would take to earn her affections or if he had planned for her to learn to love him after they were married.

    "Within the next two or three months," Matt said. "I didn't want to make it so soon, but if I don't marry someone soon, I might lose my place as king. But I promise that doesn't mean I'm simply marrying you to save my name. I chose you for a reason. I could have picked anyone I wanted."

    "Why did you pick me," Eve asked. "I'm probably the least qualified lady in your realm to marry."

    "I already told you," Matt said. "Because I've heard about you, good things. I think you're the best woman I could have picked."

    Eve looked over at Matthew, trying to see if be was lying to her or not. It appeared that he was being genuine and decided to let her guard down. "Would it bother you if I've had sex with men before," she asked. "I know one of your father's old bride to be's ended up a head shorter after he heard she wasn't a virgin."

    Matt shook his head. "My father was superficial to say the least," he said. "He liked his women a certain way and if they weren't, then it wasn't good enough for him. But I like to think of myself as more open-minded."

    "So let's say hypothetically I've been sexually adventurous," Eve spoke. "Like two men and me in a bedroom. Would you still keep an open mind with that?" Of course none of what she was saying was true. The brunette was a virgin but at this point she wanted to see if the king was a genuinely nice person or if he was his father's child and had a temper.
