Lucilda could see that all eyes were on her, they all wanted to see what would happen, they were waiting on her reaction, Damien gestured for a guard to being another seat closer to the table and the guard moved went to a corner to pick an extra chair, lucilda waited for the chair to be brought and she thanked the guard, all eyes were still on her as she went to the side of the king, she motioned for him to sit down before her and everyone there thought she was trying to follow tradition.

Damien sat down and couldn't ever believe what happened next, lucilda walked up to him and plopped herself down on him, the uproar was instant, Imelda stood up instantly, her eyes red with determination to get the other woman off Damien's lap. Damien raised his hands signaling everyone to quiet down and eat.

Truth be told he was more than surprised by her actions but he didn't feel like putting her down, if anything, he was a little bit happy that she was beginning to do things to get his attention, although he knew something must have triggered this change in her cause he was also smart enough to know that she wasn't someome to bow down easily to one's whims. He was going to c***k that brain of hers out one day to find out how it works and also what makes her tick but right now he was going to have a little bit of fun with the attention she had on him.

lucilda was enjoying the annoyed looks they were carrying on their faces. She knew that Damien would never refuse her advances, the guy was already smitten by her. As she sat down on his lap she tried to act the role of the innocent little girl who didn't understand the annoyed looks she was receiving for misbehaving. she turned and faced the king and offered him a bite of her food, Damien was more than happy to receive food from her hands and he didn't care whatever her intentions were.

Damien adjusted himself in his seat and shifted her a little so she could be well seated directly above him. lucilda was begining to get annoyed at how the king was acting, she could tell he was on to her ploy and was trying so hard to make things extra difficult for her but she couldn't blame him, he was a male in his prime and this was normal for him and his beast but not her, her people didn't behave like this, they were more in tuned with culture and a whole lot of traditions and then she was the one who brought herself into his clutches, she was about to give him a piece of her mind when she felt his hands on her hip sliding towards her waist and that was enough to make her snap out of her day dreaming.

She stood up so fast one would think a match was lit under her butt. Damien smirked at her reaction and the whole table turned to look at her. She furrowed her brows and when she realized everyone was looking at her, she relaxed her face and smiled down at him.

"if you'll excuse me your highness I'd like to go attend to some things".

"you're excused". Damien smirked at her.

" she knew for sure then that he was doing everything intentionally, she gave him a look saying I'm going to get you back for it and then she walked out.
