Chapter 156: You Did Not Refuse!

Chapter 156: You Did Not Refuse!

"What are you wearing?" her eyes twitched and it took all in her to not growl at him. Damon looked ignorantly at his tattered old stable’s boy uniform and then at her with such naivety that she laughed.

"Was it not your idea to wear such clothes for the night market?" as if he had finally noticed that she was exasperated.

"I am a commoner! You are a duke!" she pointed at herself and then looked at him. "If you go to the royal palace dressed like this. They will make fun of you." she glared at him but he just smiled making her fume. Did she look funny? "You can not wear this, Damon."

"And why does it irritate you?" he raised a brow, amused. But his eyes had a look that burnt her cheeks. "You are not a commoner, Olivia. Not that it matters, but you are daughter of a baron and sister of a duchess. Why do you care about me, your enemy?"

"I..." she inhaled a deep breath, "I do not care about you but the Aykroyd family. It is about Abi and Leo’s future." hearing her righteous tone, his eyes narrowed.

"Why did my clothing have to do with the family or your nephew, olivia. Why does it have to do with you? Why does it matter if I celebrate my birthday or not? Or if I have an untreated wound at my feet. Or why did it matter if I won the war against barbarians or not? If my knights were fed or not? All these things... Was it just because you care about Abi and leo?" He walked closer to her and she took a step back until her back hit the pillar.

He was so close. He had enveloped her in his presence. She could not move, she could not breath and she could not think. His dark eyes arrested her.

"You care for me. But you do not want to accept it." he announced as a matter of fact as he touched her cheeks. "Your body shivers whenever I touch you." his touch scalded her skin. But it also brought her back to her senses.

She pushed him away. The touch did not require much force, but he was prepared for it. He looked at her astonished when she glared at him.

"You are getting married to the princess. And i.. I am getting married to the prince." her eyes stung now. He was so cruel.

Damon looks unfazed.

"And why did it matter?" looking at the relaxed smile, she frowned. But he just shrugged and walked toward the carriage as if nothing had conspired between them.

Olivia was dumbfounded as she watched his fading figure. These days, it felt like she was swimming on the high waves. At one moment, she was high in the sky full of thrill and in the next moment, she was falling and struggling to save her life. And next moment, the sea was completely calm and in control

"Were you just teasing me then? You are so cruel!" she gritted her teeth. Her hands clenched into a fist!

No, Olivia. You could not fall for his tricks. She reminded herself as she followed him. When she sat opposite him, she reminded himself that his previous actions did not matter. Yet, she could not hide the scowl appearing on her face.

Damon looked completely calm in that old faded dress. He had some papers to read and he was so immersed in it. Only when he worked hard did he look like a human. But who would have thought such an old dress could even suit someone. Did he think it was a good disguise? Did he have no idea that silver hair and such silver gray eyes were hard to find in this empire?

Not to forget this broad chest and strong shoulders. He would attract attention wherever he would go!

"Olivia, you are embarrassing me now." he raised his head and looked at her teasingly, "if you would kiss me i will not mind!"

".... cough cough." she rubbed her chest while coughing hard. Damon looked amused as he took out the pitcher of water and passed it to her. But she pushed it away. This man! He must have bumped his head from the wall or tree while fighting with other knights.

He had gone senile.

"What is with that shy look!" as if she was a pervert here! She refused the water and inhaled to control her breath.

"Do not touch me." she pushed his approaching hand and looked out of the window once she felt better.

"It is alright. I understand." he smiled again. He understands nothing! She ignored him.

Even when he hummed the song or took off his robe, she did not turn to look at him yet her face burnt for some reason. As if the whole carriage was suddenly full of his masculine smell. Something was wrong with him! And it was affecting her!

She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead until they reached the royal palace. When the carriage stopped and she opened her eyes, he was staring at her with a knowing smile. Her skin heated again but she ignored him.

"It would not be appropriate for you to go in. wait here, i will bring the guests with me." he blocked her way and requested. His eyes on her were heated. As if she was standing there naked for him. Her hands itched to cover herself, but she ignored it.

"Next time, I will take you inside when you wear that red dress." Olivia bit her lips and stared at his clothes again. He was the one who did not look appropriate. But she did not want to argue with this man anymore.

She sat again and he smiled as he closed the door again. Olivia closed her eyes.

"Get a grip, Oli! We do not know what he was planning. We do not know where sister it. He must be playing with your mind to trap you." she pinched her skin strongly. "You can not fall for it."
