I want you

"Princess" I called out to her as I saw her leaving Earl George standing on his own, his reaction told me good things

"Deimos.., I mean Emporer Deimos" Deimos, she called me Deimos, I am not crazy she called me Deimos, but in the end, she corrected herself

"Deimos is fine, as long as it is you calling it," I said to her and smiled, my heart was begging her to call me Deimos, I was desperate

"What is it that you want Emporer Deimos?" she asked, what had changed?

"It's Deimos, call me Deimos and I will answer," I told her, hearing her call me Emporer pissed me off very much

" You really are something Emporer Deimos," she said and smiled a little, was she teasing me?

"So are you Princess Abato," I said knowing how much she hated being addressed as Abato

"It is Rosa" she corrected as she glared at me, how cute, she was driving me crazy, but I liked this crazy

"I know, but I seem to enjoy calling you Princess Abato, the same way you enjoy calling me Emporer Deimos," I teased her and she just looked at me

"Okay Deimos, what is it that you want?" she asked me. Fuck that name coming out of her name was everything and more, it got me having wild thoughts

"There we go, how about we go somewhere private to talk about such matters Princess Rosa" I said to her as I suggested going to a place I wanted to go with her since I first met her

"Lead the way Deimos," Athena said and we started walking

We walked until we got inside a cafe which had no one inside it which I had arranged

Being the gentleman I am, I pulled out the chair for her and sat next to her

"Seems like you already planned to bring me here," she said looking around the cafe with wondering eyes

"You are correct, I would like to formally ask for your hand in marriage" The last words just came out by themselves, I was planning to ask her after eating something, but they simply came out, what was happening to me?

"Are you not engaged to my sister?" she asked me and I hated those very much, why did they have to come out of her mouth? If I were to ever find the person who spread those rumours I would kill them

"No, I am not, I am to choose whoever I would like to marry," I said to her truthfully

"Then why ask for a hand in marriage when you can demand one from me?" she asked me with this twinkle of happiness in her eyes, she was actually happy about it

"That is simply because I wish to respect the princess," I said to her

"And if I say no?" Athena asked which made me very scared, what if she did say no, what then?

"Then I shall pretend to let you be, go home and send someone to kill you," I said the next best thing that came to mind which was stupid if you think about it and smiled

"Why not choose another bride?" Athena asked which ached my heart, how could she bear to see me with another woman when the thought of her being with another man killed my whole inside

"Because what I want is you and no one else," I said as I looked at her

"You sure have a way with your words Deimos", she said and smiled, that perfect smile

"I try", I said

"Let's say I marry you, what will I gain out of this marriage?" Athena asked, seemed like I was having a breakthrough

"You get to come to the North with me and rule over it, you get power", I said to her

"And if I wish to use that power to kill my father, will I be able to?" She asked, which surprised me a lot, she looked so innocent, but who knew she had thoughts of killing her blood, this made me more curious about my future wife

"You can and I as your husband will support you without any questions asked", I told her truthfully

"And what will be my wifely duties?" She asked

"Love me, let me love you, never leave me, interact with me, be happy and let me rely upon you, that is all I ask for" I said without thinking at all and the look that she gave me left me wondering whether I had said something wrong
