The Hybrid King

"The Hybrid King, his piercing blue eyes locking onto the Human King's emerald gaze, clarified, "Let me be clear: this is simply a power struggle." He pleaded with the human ruler without directly asking for objection, knowing the stakes were high – his subjects' lives were at play. "But the child isn't even born yet, we don't even know its gender, whether it's a boy or, God forbid, a girl," retorted the Human King, disapproving of the Hybrid's audacious proposal. The Hybrid King, maintaining a genuine smile, reassured King Leonardo, "I didn't imply it has to be this child, Your Majesty, King Leonardo." Yet, the Human King lashed out, "But you're compelling me to make a deal with my own offspring, King Niklaus." In a calculated move, Leonardo replied, "I'm not forcing you, King. I offer you a choice. If I wed your child, your kingdom is secure. Refuse, and you must接纳我们进入你的领土, alongside your people, until our creatures triumph over all." King Leonardo's expression betrayed his satisfaction, and that was enough for Niklaus. He reluctantly agreed, "If my daughter grows up to be a woman, she will marry you." Nodding, the Hybrid expressed gratitude, "It's been a pleasure, King Leonardo."
