Days passed and Diana was still in the palace. She was receiving a wonderful treatment like that of a princess.She couldn't get enough of it and also didn't want to feel comfortable with it.The king and Raymond; the second prince were absent as they were out for some days to investigate the killing of females in the land.Damon was absent too. Since the day Diana spilled water on him, he left the palace to somewhere unknown to them.Somewhere downtown, the old king and his second son were doing some investigations about the death of the females.The old king was pained because the killer killed his favorite female's sister. The king's research team was also with him and they were also telling the king about the little investigations they've carried out."Your Majesty, we've found out that the killer isn't a man." Raymond was shocked by this revelation. Was the killer an animal?Even the old king was clueless, he couldn't bring his finger to it."Go on!" The king ordered.The resea
"Mistress, the gardener is waiting outside," Sabre informed Diana with a disgusted look on her face.That look didn't escape Diana's eyes as she was curious to know why the maid stared at her in disgust. She was forced to ask. "Sabre, I've I done something wrong or offended you in any way?" This was unlike Diana as she was a fierce type but her father sees her as a naive person. She wasn't even supposed to ask that kind of question to a common maid.But looking at it, she wasn't a princess so she didn't need to behave like one.Sabre was about to say something when Aggy walked in.The maid called Aggy gave Diana a curtsey before going to inform her about the gardener. Until then, Sabre was chanced to spill out the beans but she didn't say a word to Diana, instead she walked out giving an unreasonable excuse."I need to answer the call of nature." Sabre bowed her head before leaving Diana.Aggy wasn't surprised by Sabre's act, because she already knew why the latter was behaving like
Still lying on the ground with an embarrassed look, Damon just gaze was at the woman that was lying on the ground but he couldn't see her.His eyes were tied and he was blind.He squatted and raised his hand. Diana saw his actions and gulped harder. "Is he trying to hit me or what?" She mumbled. Seeing that his hands were coming close to her hair...she shut her eyes tight and suddenly felt a warm touch on her head.His touch was gentle as he was massaging the scalp of her hair...Diana released the force which she used in shutting her eyes as she opt to savor her moment with his touch.Damon, on the other hand, removed his hands from her hair and leaned close to her to inhale her scent.After that, he knew who she was, his betrothed."It'll be a shame for you to die by the law because a common blind man like me rejected you! Such a pity!" Damon scoffed as his lips twitched.Diana felt the mockery in his tone as if she was begging him to get married to her.She never wanted to marry hi
"According to the map and according to what the research team said, the killer might be residing in the enchanted castle." Prince Raymond said to the audience; the ones present in the throne room."The enchanted castle?" Came a duke's question.None of them have ever heard about an enchanted castle, talk more of having it in the kingdom."It's located on the outskirts of the Kingdom."Only the king himself knows the story of the enchanted castle."We really don't know the killer in particular and I know some stories my father used to tell me about the enchanted castle. I don't think it matches any of our predicaments now." The old king said before exhaling."This is a serious case, Father," Klaus commented. He has really been a quiet listener and didn't know what to contribute to the matter arising."Should we hunt the castle?" A duchess suggested.The council members and the others gazed at the duchess.The duchess's suggestion made them speechless as all eyes were on her.She could
His sanity never fails him and he figured out the particular person that was in the garden.Damon crinkled his brows, her presence was not welcomed here.The latter on the other hand was in astonishment. She was short of words as she didn't know what to say about his intimidating presence and his manipulative aura.She stood up from where she was squatting and gazed at the man standing in front of her.Another encounter with him!"What are you doing here?" He raised a question again.Diana was confused. How did he know that she was there and how did he make his way here?She cleared her throat before she could spit out anything. "I...I...am...!" Diana shutters.His intimidating presence was too much for her to handle.'Com'on Diana, why are you stammering?' Diana cursed inwardly.Before she could wrap up her assertion, she saw the cold-looking prince crouching beside the growing tree and touching its leaves."This plant was given to me by the deceased queen." She heard Damon say.What
"I'm talking to you!" The king reminded the stiff-looking young chap whose hands were quivering in rage.Damon lowered his head evading the gaze of the furious king. "Father let him be. I think he gave her some water to drink." Klaus sobbed. He conceded the statement he just uttered as he immediately turned his head in little Damon's direction.He scowled sternly at him. "Wait....what....you poisoned the water you gave my mother!"Klaus's next action was unbelievable, but somehow little Damon overcame every little obstacle he faced and it even got worst when Raymond, found out about his mother's death. And also the day of the funeral.So that's why the King and his brothers despise him so much.They thought he was responsible for the queen's death but was he?The story wasn't clear to Diana as she could feel some other things affixed to the story.She was focused on settling the story she had just given attention to in her head making her a little startled when Damon finally spoke."
"Your father is on the verge of losing his mind!" Aggy lowered her gaze. Diana didn't understand what the maid was driving at but she gotta see her father for herself. "Where is he?" She asked worriedly. The maid didn't respond, she lowered her head to avoid Diana's worried gaze.The worried woman dashed downstairs, ignoring the crown prince's call.She got to the main entrance of the palace, only to see her father lying helplessly like a beggar on the ground.Klaus had followed the latter since she ignored his call, he wanted to know what she was up to, and here he was."Father!" Diana's eyes became heavy. What could have happened to her father?The man was looking tattered, lying helplessly on the ground and he couldn't stand or walk.Diana rushed to help him get up but his legs threatened to cut off."Father, what happened to you?" Diana couldn't hold back the tears and she let the salty water flow down her cheeks."More like who did it to him?" Klaus interceded.Diana didn't bot
"Father, what were you trying to tell me? please don't die on me!" Diana cried. "please, don't die on me!""He won't!" a familiar feminine voice spoke. Diana wiped the tears off her face. Her gaze met with that of her sister; Isobel. She was stunned, so surprised to see Isabel standing in front of her.She rubbed her eyes in disbelief."Diana, don't be a dummy! Do I look like an alien?" Isabel rolled her eyes as she sat beside her father and held his palm but Diana was too shocked to believe that Isabel was here and all these were taking place.She stood up immediately, causing Isabel to burst into a peak of hilarious laughter. "You're so funny!""Am I dreaming?" Diana carefully pinched her cheeks to know if she was dreaming or not.She was taken aback by her sister's next actions which caused her to flinch in pain. Isabel had just pinched the latter on her arm to bring her brain back to reality. "I'm real, you moron!"Even till death, she still sounds annoying. Diana hissed."But y
