Edward blinked. His eyes shot towards his father upon hearing him say that. He held his breath. Did his father really mean that? Did he intend to play matchmaker, or something or other, in order to help Edward somehow? Edward was very much confused. 

He did not know what to make of it. 





Emily blinked. She was confused as well. She frowned. Was the vampire king playing matchmaker or something other?

The king blinked. He cleared his throat. 
"Perhaps. I intend to secure the safety of my kingdom and its' people. The marriage would ensure a strong political alliance. The suitor must be of noble blood, yes. Perhaps your Edward may he a suitable match, if proven to be so."
