King and the princess
Once Damian was done with the documents he looked towards Irene who seemed to be thinking of something but smiled once she saw that Damian was done with the documents.
Both of them then lied down in their beds but suddenly a lacrima fit in a bracelet started blinking that was kept on Damian's side.
Seeing it blinking Damian sighed and looked towards Irene, "Irene just a minute please." and then got off the bed and took the bracelet and wore it in his hand and sent his own magic power to it as well.
Just as he did that a holographic screen appeared over the lacrima and images of two people appeared in it.
"Greetings your majesty and princess Stella."
"Raise your head mage head Ian." said the king.
Damian then looked up and saw the king looking at him with a smile while the princess was.... 'smiling' as well.
"The king stared at him for a while and then said, "It seems like you were about to sleep. Sorry about disturbing you at this hour."
"No need for that your majesty....infact I was thinking of contacting you soon....but it looks like you beat me to it."
"Hmm, you want to tell me something? Well, it's interesting since it has been a while since we had a casual conversation. So what is the thing that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Hmm.....well, how should I put it.....you might or might not know about it, I am thinking of getting married to the queen of Dragonof, Lady Irene." said Damian with a small smile on his face.
"Huh...."
"I OBJECT!!!!"
And immediately got two vastly different reactions from the two people on the screen.
"Overuled." said Damian while pointing his finger towards the princess and then turned towards the surprised king and said, "Your majesty..... I have fulfilled my part of the deal....so don't go back on yours."
The king who was surprised by the sudden news took some while to digest the information and gave a tired sigh and said, ".....Was this the thing that you told me about...?"
"Yup, this was my aim from the very beginning before I even met any of you." said Damian with a smile on his face.
"Hey don't ignore me!!"
"The threat of war with another kingdoms?"
"Took care of it."
"Alliance with Dragonof?"
"Of equal standing and successful."
"Hey don't ignore me!!!"
"...Looks like you really did the thing that I asked for.....well I wanted you to stay in my kingdom...but I am not going to go back on my word, you have my blessings to proceed with this marriage." said the king with a kind smile on his face while looking towards Damian.
"HEY!! STOP IGNORING ME ALREADY YOU TWO!!! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW I AM STILL AGAINST THIS MARRIAGE!!!" said the princess.
"Hmm princess Stella, it seems like you already knew about this even when his majesty did not.....then does that mean that you 'somehow' got the messages that I sent to the king from Dragonof...and 'forgot' to tell him about it." said Damian in a polite tone and a smile on his face.
Hearing that the king looked at Stella with a questioning gaze while Stella flinched making Damian sure that he hit the bullseye.
"...Now I know why you have been in a bad mood for quite a while.....Stella did you take those letters without permission.....once again."
"...Before you say anything to me.....I already related the necessary things to the prime minister so it's not like a huge trouble would be caused because of it."
"And what are the things that you didn't consider 'necessary'."
"... Everything sent from Dragonof which were hinting to getting Ian to be sent there for marriage purpose..." said the princess averting her eyes.
The king and Damian continued to stare at the princess and not only them but even Irene who was at the side but still heard their talk was looking towards them.
"*cough**cough* Keeping the small things aside, I am totally against this marriage Damian." said Stella folding her hand and looking towards Damian with a firm expression on her face.
But immediately she recieved a light slap on her head from the king and he said, "Those types of things are not small at all....now, I think there is something that I think that you have to say to Damian."
The princess looked at the king for a while and then nodded her head and then turned towards Damian and said, "Damian, I still object to this."
Hearing which both the king and Damian facepalmed and thought at the same time, 'Its getting nowhere talking to her.'
Suddenly Damian's hand was held by someone making him turn around only to see Irene standing beside her.
Seeing her Damian got slightly surprised and asked, "Are you sure?" to which Irene nodded her head and said, "Yes, I am." and then came in front of the screen as well making both the king and the princess shocked by her sudden appearance.
"Greetings to both of you, I am the queen of Dragonof, it's a pleasure to meet you both."
Hearing that the king immediately glanced towards Damian who just nodded his head.
"W-Wh-What are you doing in Damian's bedroom and in a sleepwear no less!!!! Are you trying to seduce him to make him agree!!!" shouted the princess while pointing her finger towards Irene seeing which the king got startled and immediately held her hand to put it down.
"I apologize for my daughter's attitude just now, please forgive her Lady Irene!" said the king while looking towards Stella as if she was an idiot.
Irene smiled and said, "It's fine, no need to apologise to me." She then looked towards Stella and said, "Princess Stella right? About you earlier statement....there is no need for me to use such methods to get him you know."
The princess crossed her hands and said, "And why is that?"
Irene smiled and said, "Why? It's because he is MY Damian." and looked towards Damian with a smile on her face who smiled back at her affectionately making an aura full of affection to be released from the two of them.
"DON'T YOU DARE FLIRT IN FRONT OF ME!!!" said the princess with a frown on her face not liking the imaginary pink aura that she saw just now in the slightest.
Seeing that Irene just smiled and apologized to her for doing something inappropriate in front of the two of them making the princess more pissed.
The king who was just beside the princess knew about how her daughter was and how she was currently feeling....which was not a good news in any way possible. He then glanced towards Damian and gestured him to do something.
Damian gave a fake cough and said, "Princess Stella, you need to understand that the one I love is Irene and the only reason I joined the Adroelian army was to get a high enough status for this purpose."
"Wait! You two have known each other for that long...." to which Irene nodded with a victorious smirk on her face. Making Stella's brows twitch as she thought, 'Damn, there she took what I had as my advantage from me!! What's left now, looks, nah we both are royalty because of which our looks are great, boobs and ass...no way in hell I have an advantage in that department.....what else....'
She looked at Irene and Damian standing side by side and even though she didn't want to admit it she knew that both of them were looking quite good together since both of them were happy in eachother's company.
"*sigh* No other way it seems, Damian do you know my feelings towards you...,"
"....yes..."
"...And still you will choose her...."
"...Yes, I apologize but I do love Irene." said Damian with a firm look on his face making Irene feel happy hearing those words, but she didn't show it on her face and instead looked towards the princess who was just rejected thinking that she would be sad or might even be crying at the sudden rejection.
But once they looked towards her both the king of Adroelia and the queen of Dragonof were shocked seeing that the princess was not sad in the slightest and instead was looking towards Damian without any expression on her face. Damian to was doing the same but after a while Damian smirked and said, "That was the 50th time I guess."
"43rd!!! Damn, when will you accept?!?!" said the princess with an annoyed look on her face and took out a notebook from her pocket and marked something in it.
She then looked towards Irene and said, "Just so you know, I still haven't given up on him yet. I will marry him." with a provoking look her face.
"Wait wait wait wait wait.....What the hell did happen just now!?!?!" asked the king with a surprised look on his face.
Damian shrugged and said, "It's just one of princess's usual confessions that she makes from time to time to me....It's already the 50th time that she got rejected as you can see."
"43, but anyway the one you told me about that you live turned out to be the queen of Dragonof....if I would have known that I would have made some excuse to prevent you from going there." said the princess with a smile on her face.
She stared at both of them for a while and sighed, "I don't like it but seems like Damian loves you so I will not say anything about it now...but don't take it that I have lost or given up." and looked towards Irene.
Irene hugged Damian's arms and said, "Sure~" with a huge 'smile' on her face.
Seeing her smile a vein popped up in the princess's forehead seeing which the king immediately sped through the conversation not wanting another argument to start. And once he knew all the info that he didn't get because of the Princess he gave his regards to Damian and Irene and cut the call.
But just as the lacrima was about to turn off, the screen appeared once again with princess's face close to the screen and she said, "I love you Damian~ Bye~"
"Bye princess. I will ask your etiquette teacher to drill some more discipline in you." said Damian with a smile.
"Wh-"
The princess tried to say something more but Damian cut the call and sighed.
"Let's just sleep now..." and then glanced towards Irene who was going towards the bed and thought, '...or maybe sleep can wait for a while.' and jumped on the bed and held Irene in his embrace after which he spent the time teasing her for how bold she was acting in front of the princess and the king.
