Maven smiled and looked at him her dad had an ugly look on his face that would be right in this situation
"So I offer you a compromise-give Maven 3 years. 3 years to meet other mortals and decide, for herself, who she wants to marry. No more of this nonsense with makeup, or these stupid rules. Should you follow these instructions, you'll receive no more interference from me. In fact, I'll make myself scarce. However, you harm her in anyway and I WILL return-and abduct her from this palace, taking away the only heir you have."
she started to cry a little for her dad too think he was actually leaving in her mind she was reilefed that he wasn't actually leaving, her dad just laughed she new that she would tell her mom to do something to him she was very happy and after the hug she kissed him on the cheek and whispered
"Thank you.."
Maven was now 19 she went to school now and she had a lot of admires but she didn't pay any mind neither did she have friends her body definitely had developed more and that's where guys and boys come in, they always would try and tease her and different things but it never worked on hr she didn't like anyone in school and was super serious about everything there though she did hate getting stares and rumours went around a lot she didn't really mind tho since she was 19 she was happy that year for Asrian to come back so she was a bit more enthusiastic
Although Asrian had not revealed himself to her during those three years he had still been close by, performing his duties at night and checking on her during his days, making sure she was alright. He hated seeing people tease or be mean to her and he hated seeing her lonely, but he'd always try to comfort her whenever she was feeling upset, giving her his warmth and tranquility so she knew he was there.
