Now Crystal becomes very busy in preparing the food for Damien. She becomes very nervous as well as very excited at the same time.
'Will he like it?' she thought to herself.
After about ten minutes lady Aerona enters the kitchen and told her that she needs to go to her state urgently. Some emergency has come there so she and her husband along with the queen mother have to go there. City Aerilon needs their presence. And also they have already told Damien about their departure and he already approved them to go to their state. So in this castle only Crystal and Damien are going to stay along with Christopher, Mrs Auris and other castle maids.
Crystal feels very sad but she also understand the situation very well because she is also a princess of a kingdom. So she only said alright and be careful to her. And also prayed for their safety. Then lady Aerona exit the kitchen.
Now again she puts her full concentration on the food she is preparing for Damien. Normally it takes whole thirty minutes to cook the dish. But because it's her first time to making any type of food so it took her around ninety minutes to cook the food.
The time has already come when the lord is about to return from the council. So after preparing food for him she set it on the dining table and went to her room to get fresh. After taking a shower she wore a white coloured simple but at the same time very beautiful night gown then does a braid but didn't do any makeup because it's the night time. So after getting ready she comes down to the dining area and waits for him. After sometimes she hears some foot steps coming towards the hallway. She already knew that who was it. Before reaching him she saw that Mrs Auris has already reached him and asked if everything is ok or not. Till now Damien didn't saw her. But Crystal can able to see him very clearly and from his expression she can guess that something really bad had happened to him. He is emitting a dark aura around him. He looks like he can kill now anyone who will come to his path.
Crystal becomes very terrified watching his expression and didn't dare to show herself in front of him. But she decided to watch him from afar.
On the other side Mrs Auris already knew that something has happened in the council that's why he has a very bad mood today. So she didn't ask him many questions. She only asked him,
"Damien my dear, is everything alright. You didn't seem to look good."
Damien respected Mrs Auris very much, that's why it's ok for him that she is calling him by directly taking his name. If any other one dares to do it then he or she may never able see the next day of their lives.
"Yes, something really bad has happened Mrs Auris. and now I'm not in a good mood. So please don't ask me any further questions. I'm now going to my room for some rest. Tell everyone that no one should disturb me at this hour." With this saying he stepped towards his room but suddenly someone blocked his path.
When Crystal hears those talks she thought, 'Is he not gonna eat anything today? What has happened with him. Whatever the reason may be but I can't let him rest in an empty stomach and moreover I have prepared food especially for him. So how can I let him go? No this is not gonna happen.' So she decided to block his path.
"What the....!" Damien roared very angrily. When he saw that who the person that dared to block his path his eyes get more darkened.
"Get away from my path Miss Crystal !" He told her in a calm but in a very threatening tone.
She becomes more terrified but didn't change her decision and tried to told him in a very determined tone,
"No, I'm not going anywhere untill you listen to me. You can't go to your room in an empty stomach."
"Are you forgetting to whom you are talking with Miss Crystal? I'm the lord here so it's my choice what I'm doing. You can't tell me what to do or what not to do. So get away from my path" he told her in the same dengerous tone, then roared directly on her face,
"NOW...!!!"
She startled a bit and slightly step backwards. She becomes more terrified and panicked and he can clearly see that on her face.
"Bu...but....." She tried to form a sentence but unable to do it and terrified more and more by looking at his very dark and angry face. But finally she said,
"Bu...but I have made your favourite dish today and I... I'm sure your mood will be getting better aft...after eating that. Ple... please calm down, I...I don't know why today your mood is worsen...but beli...believe me you will feel better milord..." she told him in a very frightened voice as if she will gonna senseless anytime soon. She is not used to this type of tone from anyone so the more Damien stared at her very threateningly the more she gets terrified by him.
"I said get away Miss Crystal. Don't try to anger me more and more. I have already told you that I'm not in the mood of eating anything. I think you took me as a fool. If I have showed you my soft side to you, then don't get any type of wrong idea from that behaviour of me and also don't think that you are someone special for me. You are my healer and it will be the only relationship between you and me, so it's my duty to treat you well or else who knew that what might you will feed me saying that it is a medicine, and another thing Miss Crystal there is no need to cook any food for me...you are here as a healer not as a maid or a chef. So it will be better if you only keep focusing on your work." He told her very coldly without showing any expression on his face, and then suddenly started smirking very menacingly and told her in the same threatening voice, "and do you know the most important thing, I know you are not a vampire, but I have not having any proof against you. It seems like you are hiding your identity very well but remember the day I got to know about you completely, I swear I will not spare you even for a second so it will be better for you to get away from my path..."
Now Crystal was completely terrified by his behaviour. 'What has gotten into him? Why is he acting like this today and moreover is he already knew that I'm not a vampire? and what if he will soon get the proof against me and then knows about me completely...god what should I do?' she thought to herself. But within this time she has already cleared his path subconsciously and Damien didn't waste his time anymore in front of her by looking at her terrified and panicked face and directly headed towards his room.
Crystal didn't expect this from him...she doesn't know when she already started crying so hard. In between her cries she hears something falls on the ground. when she looked around she saw the white pearls are falling non stop on the ground. Then only she realised that she is crying so hard and her tears are falling on the ground on the form of white shiny pearls so without wasting any more time she ran towards her room and keep on crying. Her whole room is covered with white shining pearls but she didn't cared a bit. She didn't get this much badly hurt by any one's word in her whole life. His words were like a sharp needle which directly get pierced through her heart and reached to the core of it.
Did she expect so much from him? why is his words are hurting her so much? Why did he acted towards her this way? Did he really find out about her real identity or there is something else that leads him to behave this way to her...!
