DRIVEN

Chapter 35

Damien was distraught, he knew Imelda had feelings for him but he didn't expect her to act on them this way.

Now he could confirm to Killian his doubts about why she had been rejecting suitors, the princess was still in love with him and thought she could have him.

In the past Killian was the warning bell in his head telling him go not enter into any affair of any sort most especially with someone like Imelda cause he knew that when the time came for him to end it it won't be an easy thing, Imelda wouldn't understand, it would be really hard to give him up and that's why he rejected her advances in the first place and now, the girl was back and according to her, still in love with him.

He had alot of things on his plate now and he didn't feel like adding Imelda to the list although the way things were moving it won't be long before she added herself to the list.

He had been thinking alot about last night, the kiss and everything that had happened till now.

It was time for breakfast and he was expected to dine with Imelda and her father. he was getting ready for breakfast when he heard a knock at the door.

He gave go ahead for the door to be opened and a guard walked inside. He recognized him as Bruno lucilda's chief guard.

The urgency in which the guard moved made him scared Damien as he immediately turned all attention to him.

"my Lord". Bruno bowed.

" speak to me, what is it?"

Bruno seemed a little but confused about how to start .

"Uhmmm....the vampire princess your highness she requests your presence with immediate effect".

Damien becomes worried.

"is everything okay Bruno, talk to me".

"I can't say my Lord, I think it'd be best if you come see her"

"Alright let's go"

on his way he met with the maids who were on their way to inform him about breakfast and he told them he'll be joining them in a minute.

He got to her room and once the door was opened he was knocked speechless. He had never doubted tales of her beauty, he has always admired her beauty and wished that conditions were different, damn he'd have flaunted her till the end of time, but seeing her dressing in the most attractive shade of red his eyes had ever witnessed on a person. and her hair piled high above her head in a bun with a few loose tendrils left to frame her face Damien was hooked and he knew it. he entered into her room proper and walked up to her. he stood in front of her trying to act composed but kept on failing miserable at it.

"princess you asked to see me?".

"my Lord". she gave him a bright smile".

Damien was uneasy about how cheerful she seemed.

" well?". Damien was trying to act busy.

" I wanted to ask if I could join you at the formal dinning room to have my food from now on, I get a little bit bored if I'm left alone.

"and how sure am I that you'll be on a good behavior throughout you can't expect me to just accept".

please my king, I'm getting bored in here

"

Damien thought again of everything that could go wrong.

" fine, you're to accompany me".

Lucilda was brimming with joy, she was extra happy, her making sure Damien didn't loose interest in her is the key.

Now she knows the king had a soft spot for her and she plans to use it well
