The party was underway, the grand hall was filled up with people of the highest status from both Demegra and Badok.

The people of Badok were fairies, although not the typical fairies depicted in tales. These fairies were normal sized like the rest of the creatures in the kingdom, they were exquisite creature blessed with an ethereal glow.

They were blessed with a little bit of magic and as such used it to their advantage, their magic makes them strong but that doesn't mean they aren't smart enough to understand true power when they see it. They know that they shouldn't try to drag power with us lycans. They may have the magic but we're stronger than them and they know that.

Their king Leonard is one who has seen many winters, he is a loyal and wise king and has ruled the kingdom for many years now, he is getting old and has only one child, his lovely daughter Imelda.

Imelda was beautiful, kind, strong, smart and wise. She would be a good queen one day and as it was she was on the hunt for a potential suitor, one who would be able to lead along with her to ensure her people were well cared for.

Imelda was a beauty with her blonde locks and dimples, she turned heads wherever she went but sadly up till now she still hadn't gotten a suitor not that he knew though.

He stood at a corner and observed everyone's interactions along with his second in command Killian.

Killian had earlier brought a report that lucilda wanted to be allowed to her window balcony to enjoy some fresh air so she had requested the commander to ask Famine on her behalf, she claimed she'll run mad if she wasn't allowed to go out that so Damien trying to avoid her drama especially when he had important guests around gave her permission to go to the balcony with a guard around at all times to not only protect her but also make sure she didn't do anything unspeakable.

They were still standing at their spot when the Fairy princess Imelda came over to speak to the king.

"my Lord if I may, can I have a word with you?".

" yes of course princess".

he stretched his hand forward and she put her dainty hand in his and began leading her to a More quiet corner of the castle.

"your kingdom is exquisite king Damien".

"oh flatter me not princess, the real beauty lies in the Fairy land, it seemed like the goddess cursed the other lands to forever look in envy at the gifts she bestowed not only on your land but people too princess, truly the goddess had been most unfair in this case if I may add.

Imelda chuckled and gave Damien a half smirk

"but you truly must believe me, I have seen many beautiful lands with as much of the most beautiful ornaments there is and I must still insist that demegra is a beautiful sight to behold ".

Now that they finally stopped at the entrance to the gardens. Damien could look at the princess clearly. Some years past they almost had a fling but thank the goddess he was rescued on time by Killian who did well to remind the king that that fairies were tricky and that a fling with the princess would last forever, due to that warning he had been down mostly for awhile so he tried to forcee himself but t it didn't work.

He ended things on a bad note with her so standing here now he stared at the princess unsure of what to do .

Imelda still had feelings for the lycan king, she had been following him for years now and she feels it's time to solidify their relationship.

"I wanted to talk to you about something Damien".

"My father feels it's time I take a groom and I'm head over heels in love with you. so I think you should be the one I end up with".

" I'm sorry princess I don't think that would be possible"

" what do oh mean by that, please don't do this damien, I'm not going to accept this".

"why can't you choose someone else?," she stood up and faced him.

" because there can't ever be anyone like you and that's why I love you"

Before Damien could process what was happening she captured his lips with hers and held on.

He pushed her off off him and he was really mad at her. What kind of game is this, please I would like it if you don't attempt this next time.

"Shall we go back?"

he stretched his hand out once more but she just marched out of the place.

He stared at the exit she just took and continued moving to catch up with her.

Unbeknownst to them, lucilda had an excellent view of that part of the garden from her balcony and she witnessed everything including the kiss.

She had never met the princess so she assumed that maybe they were dating. And now he locked her up in this castle with literally no way to leave claiming she was his mate while he had a pretty girlfriend at the corner, oh boy was she going to show them the stuff she's made off.
