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
As Diana settled into the carriage, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. She had been enjoying their time at the castle and didn't want it to end so soon. She turned to Damon, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me we were leaving today?"Damon remained silent, which only added to Diana's frustration. She turned her attention to Sir Galahad and Sir Richard, who were sitting across from them. "How long will the journey take?" she asked.Sir Richard cleared his throat before replying, "It should take us about two days to reach the palace, my lady."Diana let out a sigh and leaned back against her seat. She gazed out the window at the passing countryside, which was filled with lush green fields and tall trees. "It's a shame we have to leave this beautiful place," she said wistfully.Sir Galahad nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it is. But duty calls, and we must answer."As they continued their journey, the environment around them changed. The lush g
Under the light of the full moon, a group of werewolves gathered in the forest. They were all pale-skinned, their eyes glowing in the darkness as they waited for their leader, Chaos, to arrive.As Chaos emerged from the shadows, the werewolves fell silent. He was a towering figure, with jet-black fur and piercing yellow eyes. He looked around at his followers, his expression cold and unreadable."Chaos, we were curious about the woman in the prophecy," one of the werewolves spoke up. "The celestial spirit told us that you need to be redeemed. Is it true that you have feelings for her?"Chaos snarled, his teeth bared. "That is none of your concern. The prophecy is just a means to an end. Our goal is to take revenge against the humans and gain dominion over the world."The werewolves murmured in agreement, but one of them spoke up. "But Chaos, if you are redeemed, won't that mean that we won't be able to achieve our goal? We need you to be coldhearted and ruthless."Chaos glared at the
Diana had been enjoying her stay at the lonely castle for the past few days. She had been exploring every nook and cranny of the castle, admiring the beautiful paintings and sculptures that adorned the walls and floors. She had also been spending a lot of time in the gardens, which were filled with colorful flowers and exotic plants.However, she had noticed that Damon had not been enjoying his stay as much as she had. Whenever Diana tried to make conversation with him, he would ignore her or give her short, monosyllabic answers.One day, after several failed attempts to engage Damon in a conversation, Diana finally managed to get him to talk to her. "So, Damon, what do you think of the costume party that's happening next week?" she asked, trying to sound casual.Damon sighed and looked up from his book. "I don't really care about the party, Diana," he replied, his voice flat.Diana was taken aback by his response. "But it's going to be so much fun! I've already made a costume for the
Damon felt the warmth of Diana's arms around him as he slowly opened his eyes. The room was dark, with only the soft glow of the moonlight filtering in through the curtains. As he gently slid out of bed, he could feel Diana's body stirring slightly, but he knew he had to leave.He carefully lifted Diana, cradling her in his arms, and carried her to her own bed. He gently laid her down, tucking her in and placing a soft kiss on her forehead before turning to leave.As he made his way to the window, he could feel the restlessness building within him. He had never slept before, his blindness making it impossible for him to fully rest. Instead, he had other duties to attend to at midnight.With a deep breath, Damon raised the window and leaped out into the cool night air. As soon as his feet hit the ground, his body began to shift and contort. Bones cracked and muscles stretched as he transformed into a magnificent wolf.The transformation was always exhilarating, and Damon relished the f
Prince Damon lay in his bed, the darkness of the room enveloping him. He heard footsteps approaching and a soft rustling as Diana, his new companion, settled into her own bed on the other side of the room."Goodnight, Prince Damon," Diana said softly."Goodnight, Diana," Damon replied, his voice cool and distant.There was a moment of silence before Diana spoke again. "I know this is an unusual arrangement, but I hope we can both make the best of it."Damon sighed. "Yes, it is certainly unusual. But I suppose we must make the best of it, as you say."Diana shifted in her bed. "Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable, Your Highness?"Damon frowned. "I am blind, Diana. I do not require comfort."Diana's voice was gentle. "I understand that, but I still want to make sure you are not feeling uneasy in any way."Damon was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Very well, if it will make you feel better, you may light a candle."Diana lit a candle on the nightstand betw
Damon and Diana rode in silence as they approached the castle. The journey had been long and exhausting, and Diana was feeling uneasy. She had heard rumors about the blind prince Damon, and his reputation for being cold and unapproachable made her nervous.As they arrived at the castle, the knights who had escorted them – Sir Richard and Sir Galahad – bid them farewell and rode off into the distance.Damon and Diana dismounted their horses and made their way into the castle. It was dark and drafty, and Diana shivered as they walked down the long, winding corridors.Finally, they came to a stop in front of a large wooden door. Damon pushed it open, and a musty smell wafted out."This will be our bedroom," he said, gesturing inside.Diana peered in, her eyes widening in shock. "This is...our bedroom?" she asked incredulously.The room was sparse and unfurnished, with just a single bed in the center. The walls were bare, and the windows were covered in thick curtains that blocked out al
Prince Raymond sat at the head of the table, his father, the old king, to his right. The large, ornate courtroom was filled with advisors and important figures from around the kingdom. The topic at hand was the recent attacks by a werewolf that had been terrorizing the kingdom, targeting young women and brutally murdering them."I propose that we increase the number of guards in the affected areas, Your Highness," said one of the advisors, a grizzled old man with a thick beard. "We need to ensure the safety of our citizens.""Agreed," said Raymond, nodding his head. "We will also offer a reward for any information leading to the capture of the werewolf. We need to bring an end to this before any more innocent lives are lost."The others around the table murmured their agreement, but Raymond couldn't help but notice that his younger brother, the Crown Prince Klaus, remained silent throughout the meeting. It was unusual for Klaus to not speak up during these types of discussions, and
Charles trudged his way back home, with grocery bags in his hands. The sun had set a while ago, casting the city into darkness. It was a quiet night, with the occasional sounds of passing cars and honking. As he walked, his thoughts drifted to the prince's offer. The crown prince wanted him by his side as an ally. Charles wondered about the benefits this alliance would bring and how it would further his goals. But he could not shake his apprehension about the prince's ulterior motives.Finally, he arrived home to find Elena serving dinner on the dining table. Charles couldn't help but feel exhausted as he sat down. Elena seemed to notice his fatigue and asked him about his day, and what he bought from the market. He told her in detail about his encounter with the prince, about his offer of an alliance, and how it could benefit them. Elena listened eagerly, her eyes shining with greed."That could help us a lot," Elena said with a sly look, and Charles realized that she was not con
Prince Klaus rode on his horse towards the main crowded market, the sun beating down on his skin. He had heard of a man called Charles, a fisherman who had supplied the fish for their royal feast. Klaus had heard rumors that Charles had connections throughout the kingdom and might just be the ally that Klaus had been searching for.As he rode through the busy marketplace, Klaus spotted Charles selling fish to the crowded customers. Klaus couldn't believe his luck, he had just stumbled upon the man he had been looking for.Klaus approached Charles slowly, making sure not to startle him. Charles, however, had already recognized Klaus and his intentions."What do you want with me, your royal highness?" asked Charles, eyeing Klaus with suspicion."I need your help. I'm on a mission to ascend the throne, and I want you to be my ally," replied Klaus earnestly, looking Charles straight in the eye.Charles paused for a moment, contemplating. "And why should I help you?"Klaus, not one to shy
