Kael's p o v
"Why are we here kael," seraph detatched herself from the hug and asked me with a frown on her face. "Seraph, we were not safe at the bermuda. Salem soldiers had already started to draw closer to where we were" i looked outside the window towards the mountains i will have to go and address them soon i thought to myself as i saw my people from the bermuda by the mountain sides.
"Why did have to be here, is it not this same king who regularly attacked you back in salem?.. how can you still trust him with our lives and the lives of all those people" seraph continued again.
"Arid, would not dare to attack me. First, he signed a treaty with me before already.".....
"That treaty was signed when you were still in Salem, does that not mean the treaty is between Salem and Argard" seraph cut me off, i do not like being cut off mid sentence but i will let this one slide.
"You are being paranoid and it is not good for you, you are pregnant. And if it will make you feel better, the treaty clearly states that it is between king Arid and I. Not between Argard and salem. I said and gave her the paper on which the agreement was written. And walked out, i really need to blow off some steam, that got me slightly annoyed. I am trying everything i can to keep her, my child and those people safe why can't she freaking see that.
"Prince, kael." Princess katerina, i have highly sensitive ears, so i can distinguish voices perfectly well, "princess," i greeted with a nod. "Why are you all alone, my brother set up a party, why don't you join us" she said walking closer to me smiling.
Hmm i am in a bad mood now, maybe that will help i thought to myself. "Lead the way" i gestured forward with my hand.
Not long we arrived at the very spacious hall where the king's party was being held, filled with richly dressed men and half naked women dancing around, i was highly uninterested in things like this but i had no other choice.
"Come, my prince, grant me the pleasure of allowing me dance for you" katerina said to me wait.. when did she change her outfit. Now she was dressed in a slightly body revealing dress most of her thigh was out open. Normally at the sight of a beautiful woman dressed like this, my insides would have started to burn with desire but i strangely now i felt nothing like that. Couls it be cos of seraphine? Doesn't matter anyway.
When i raised my head, i noticed all the men in the hall were already gawking at her with wide mouths. "I think it will be best to take this somewhere more private? It's not good to have so many men staring at their princess like that" i said truly innocently, why is she blushing so much i wondered
"Sure, there is a private room just up ahead a little.. let me lead the way" we walked a few steps further again, it was then i noticed king Arid's rage filled eyes looking violently at me. I just shrugged and continued walking, it was his sister who invited me afterall i did not force my way here.
"Come in, my prince" katerina said opening the door, i walked in quietly and sat on the long chair that stood close to the bed. Music from the main hall where the party was ongoing could still be heard from here. Princess katerina began to dance swaying her hips around. Truthfully she looked perfect as she danced gracefully and majestically, but unfortunately it had little or no effect on me. She then came upon me and continued to dance seductively while sitted on my leg. My demon wanted sex, he was always a sex addict but now he was completely dormant unlike whenever i am with seraph. I proceeded to kiss her maybe that will get him arose, but still yet nothing, she rubbed her big breast on me and took my hand and placed on her big ass. But still nothing, i was already feeling exhausted.
"Princess, pardon me but i have to go now" i can't do this to her, i know she likes me but i am a married man and she deserves better. " Why, because of your wife?" I did not answer " kael, i love you, why can't you see that, i don't mind becoming your second wife, i just want to be with you, please kael" she said with tears. " Now you think you want me, soon you will meet the one who will really love you and you will love him back, sorry but i feel nothing for you so i cannot take you as a second wife, i can not love you and no woman deserves such a life…. Take care of yourself, my lady" i kissed the back of her hand and walked out of the room. "Fredric, please make sure the princess returns to her chambers.
PRINCESS KATERINA'S P O V
I sat on the floor crying my heart out, i never knew rejection hurt so much. I have never loved anyone before but i always loved prince kael ever since i first met him during the war between my father the late king and his father. They initially ambushed my carriage to kill me after my father had burned down most of their villages but prince kael saved me from death and for the first time in forever, a man looked at me without that lust flashing through his eyes. Even though our kingdoms were enemies i felt drawn to his darkness....
"My lady, i have come to escort you back to your room, please come with me" a slightly rough, calm and soothing voice said from the door i looked up and saw a handsome young man almost as handsome as prince kael, he had neat short brown hair, a broad chest and shoulder, my breath hitched a little, maybe because i was crying. "And who are you?" I asked standing up from where i was sitting and wiped off my tears "Fredric, my lady. My name is Fredric, prince kael asked me to ensure you safely return to your room tonight" his voice made my heart beat a little wildly just like when i first met kael. "Can you… uhm.." before i could complete what i wanted to say, he brought me a coat covered me with it and scooped me up in his strong arms. A shy smile displayed itself on my face. "Relax, princess you have cried enough for one night" his deep voice calmed my every nerve, i hardly feel the pain of being rejected by kael now.
I placed my head on his chest i could hear the steady rhythm of his beating heart, slightly fast. I raised my eyes to look at his face up close, well sculpted nose and mouth, perfect jawline, light brown eyes, in all he was stunning. Not as unearthly beautiful like kael but he was close. The second most handsome man i have met and now that i noticed, he also has those mysterious look in his eyes just like kael.
"We are here," The maid who walked with us announced. I felt a pang of hurt in my heart, i was just getting comfortable in his arms no i can't fall in love with anyone now, one rejection is enough for me i said to myself in my head. "Thank you for carrying me all the way here" i said after he dropped me down. He just bowed and turned to leave " will you have lunch with me tomorrow?...." I don't know when the words came out from my mouth "just to thank you for tonight" i quickly added to back myself up. "Okay, i will try and make time for that". "Have a good night rest my lady" he bowed again and walked away elegantly. If i didn't know better i would have said he was a prince.
SERAPHINE P. O .V
After kael left me with the paper for the treaty, i started to feel bad, i know he is only trying to protect me, why did i even have to nag at him.
I quickly walked out of the room to look for him and apologize. I don't even know where to start looking. I kept wandering about when i stumbled upon some maids standing by a window looking inside "who is that handsome man with the princess" i heard one of them say "i think he is the king's guest that came earlier today" another one answered. 'guest that came earlier today? Handsome? Could it be kael' to clear my curiousity, i walked quietly and stood beside them and peeped inside, my eyes widened at what i saw. The half dressed princess leading kael to a room. I heart squeezed painfully breathing became a difficult task, i feel suffocated…..
