He was about to enter the room when he heard Alora's voice, he lean on the wall beside the door and listen to the conversation.
"Forget it, you don't have to say sorry."
"I'm ashamed to go near at you, I apologize."
"It's fine, please excuse me."
"Lady Alora."
He was about to leave and he was shocked when he heard Frederick's confession.
"Lady Alora I... I've always liked you. No, I l-love you!"
"Eh?" there was a long silence and when he heard Alora say sorry, he immediately hide and watch Alora's back.
"For you to eavesdrop..." Shocked he look at Damien he composed himself and cleared his throat before greeting him.
"I just accidentally heard them."
"Yeah sure." Damien lean on the wall and stared at the floor.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
"Wait I'm still not done." He stops and faced Damien; he looks straight into his amber eyes. 'If I were him...'
"What is it?"
"Tell me do you like Alora?" shocked he froze for a second and avert his eyes.
"N-No. Why would I? No."
"You're lying, since when did you develop those feelings?"
"I said I do not like her."
"Liar I can see it in your eyes, I always saw you stealing glances on her, smiling whenever you saw her, your eyes always gleamed whenever you saw her smile." He clenches his fists and Damien smirk.
"I said I-" he stop when his eyes landed on the Damien's finger, now that he had already seen the ring he was satisfied. He watches him as he shakes his head still not wanting to admit it.
"Then don't ever go near her for she is already mine."
"She's not yours."
"Hm, why are you getting angry huh? Forget that damn feeling for her for she won't be yours."
"I know, damn it!"
"I'm glad you know your place." Damien was about to leave him there when he say something for the last time.
"I know I don't have a chance and I don't have the guts to tell that I do 'Love' her. But if I could turn back the time to do things right. I just can't forget her..."
"Damn, she will be disgusted if she heard that so I hope she won't hear this. There are still plenty of noble ladies who want to be with you so... forget her now Sir Hayes. I'm warning you." Damien left first while Hayes remained there for minutes thinking deeply.
"If I just have the courage to confess..."

ALORA EMBRY
"Damien, do you love me?" he look at me with a serious face and smiled.
"Yes, I do, I do love to kill you." my face crumpled and automatically hit him.
"Nice answer Sir Damien." I rolled my eyes and he laugh the caught my hand and bring it to his lips. He smirks at me after she kisses the back of my hand. "Let me smack you once again."
"What's wrong with my answer?" I rolled my eyes and snatch my hand.
"Don't talk to me."
"Why, just what happened yesterday?" I closed the book and with a serious face, I told him what happened.
"Yesterday Frederick said that he liked- love me." he stared at me for a moment.
"What?"
"I said yesterday Frederick said the word I love you; he even gave me the red chrysanthemum but I gave it back."
"Ah, I thought I heard it wrong." and suddenly he burst out laughing. "That's impossible!"
"What's wrong with you?" I glared at him and hit his arm. "I'm telling the truth, and do I like I would make up a story?"
"Yeah, yeah! What did you say after he confesses that he loves you?"
"I told him I'm sorry and I leave after that."
"That hurts."
"Why?"
"Well, if someone does it to me, I would be hurt. Imagine you confess that you love me and all I say was thank you I'm hundred and one percent sure you'll cry."
"In your dreams." I was annoyed when he laugh really hard.
"I'm serious now, it's also your fault for being beautiful."
"Yeah, but I don't feel bad for saying that."
"By the way, I just received a letter from my mother that they will attend."
"That's good." the anniversary are three days from now and the dress that I order already came this morning. The class is still going but you can feel their excitement.
"The Eyrons already arrived this morning and were staying in the hotel."
"They're sure early, what about Capell?"
"I don't know, but I think they still have not arrived at the capital."
"It's good that they're still not here, I meet the first son of Lorenzo in the forest when father told me to lead the hunt, I'm sure he'll recognize me. Haa let's don't mind them from now, Leah gave me this interesting book so keep quiet and I will continue reading it."
"'Kay Ma'am."
He stayed silent for minutes, then sat beside me and look at what I was reading, and when he got bored, he leave my room and back after one hour.
"Still not done?" I shake my head and he sat beside me and his hands immediately wrapped around my waist.
"Where did you go?"
"Just strolling in the garden and after that, I go to the dining hall and look at the menu there so I can have a light lunch."
"Then take a rest now." I rest my head on his shoulder and continue reading. I don't know if his also reading it because his quiet the whole time.
"You know I meet someone today."
"Who is it?"
"The Imperial knight, he was His Majesty's royal guard Sir Aldean."
"So, what did you two talk about?"
"He asks me if he can send a portrait of her sister." I remained my eyes on the book and nodded.
"Let me guess."
"Huh? Okay."
"You, said yes, right? After you marry me, you'd marry again. If you do that, I will burn you alive or feed you to my pets, and your second wife I will torture her." Then my head started to bounce when he laugh, I ignore him and continue reading but he continues to pester me.
"Woah your imagination, I don't have plans on having two wives." he wiggled his eyebrows and playfully kiss me on the cheeks.
"Remember what I said."
"Yes, wife."
"Hah. I will not forgive you if you do that, Hellios Capell and Lorenzo Eyron didn't think what their first wife would feel."
"I know, I'm loyal Alora. I only had my eyes for you."
"I hate you..." I stared at him and he lean closer.
"I hate you too." then we share to a sweet kiss and ended up in my room locking ourselves, enjoying each other's warmth until everything gets dark.
"Haa."
"Ahh."
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yes." he caresses my face and kisses my tears away.
"I love you, Alora."
"I love you too."
"Hoo."
"Aren't you hungry?" I asked him and he brushed my hair and hug me. I just woke up and my body was aching.
"A little bit..."
"Then get up I want to eat now."
"Are you torturing me?"
"Haha, what are you saying?"
"I can't get up, just want to stay here."
"No, I won't do it again. I'm tired."
"Hmm." He buried his face in my neck and continue to smell me. "Alora..."
"Damn you!" he laugh evilly and we ended up doing again. We continue to spend our free hours locking up in my room not wanting to waste a damn second, just to feel each other. It was such a blissful moment; it was still not enough. Where are still craving for each other...
