Become my knight

After Damian tucked Irene to sleep he went and took care of the paperwork. Once that was done as well he touched the unconscious Irene all over her body...to take her measurements and make some clothes for her.

Damian made several sets of clothes for Irene since he was not sure how long Maka would take to reach here to revert her back. He can revert her back to normal as well using clock work if he wants to....if he wants to that it.....there is no way he was going to let this chance slip by, having a younger Irene was fun in its own way and even though he was pretty pent up, he could wait for a few days for Irene to turn back to normal.

He then got on the bed as well and pulled Irene closer to him before drifting off to sleep.

The next morning when Damian woke up he found a small red head lying on top of his chest.

Seeing her he smiled and patted her head softly so ass to not wake her up.

He then got off the bed and let Irene sleep a bit more and decided to get some work done before she wakes up so he can keep her company.

Later that day around noon Irene woke up and rubbed her eyes.

"So you woke up....good morning Irene."

"Goo mowning." said Irene as she sat up and yawned.

Damian went to pick her up as she dozed off once again while she was being carried by Damian.

Damian just helplessly shook his head and then took her out of the tent to let her do her morning routine since she was still unfamiliar with the place and the equipment that they use here in the battlefield.

"I will be somewhere nearby, call me if you need help." said Damian as he sent Irene towards the make shift bathroom and then guarded the area.

After a while just as Damian expected the girl needed some help with the different facilities so he helped her with that.

--------------------

"...Mister Damian are you not going to join the battlefield today?" asked Irene as she bit some bread given to her by Damian.

"I already did my duty and came back soon so that you would not be lonely here." said Damian as he took a sip from his cup of coffee.

Irene nodded her head and resumed eating. She was still nervous that she was in an unfamiliar place and didn't know what to do. It was just that the man in front of her helped her a lot and took care of her that she felt safer with him and wanted to be close to him. She was happy that he finished his duties soon so that she was not left lonely there and just blushed.

"...Mr. Damian will you become my personal knight?" asked Irene with an excited look on her face.

Damian took a sip from his cup and then placed it on the table, he smiled at the little girl in front of him and said, "Sorry Irene there is already someone I vowed to protect so I cannot be your knight."

Irene was shocked, never in the various possibilities that came to her mind did she think that she would be rejected so easily.

Damian chuckled seeing the girls shocked expression and recorded that as well.

"W-What kind of person is that, whom you swore to protect?" asked Irene feeling slight anger towards the person whom Damian vowed to.

"Well that person is very beautiful and and is of great majesty.....she is a queen of a kingdom no less. She is also someone whom I swore to live my life with." said Damian with a smile.

"...I will become a queen as well you know and there is no way that her kingdom could be greater then mine. Wouldn't it be better if you became my knight instead." said the little girl boasting about herself trying to persuade Damian to join her side.

Damian chuckled at that and so did the nearby dragons who were on guard duty. He then said, "Sorry but you are 'still' not beautiful and convincing enough to let me leave that person.....she is very dear to me you know. Here look at her isn't she beautiful?" said Damian as he showed a picture of older Irene standing with him.

"Ugh" said Irene as she looked at the woman standing beside Damian. She didn't want to accept that but she could clearly see how beautiful the person Damian swore to protect was.

"... W-Wh-What if in the future I became as beautiful as her?!?! I even have red hair just like her!! I can promise that I will surely become as beautiful- no even more beautiful than her!!" said Irene using her last card she could use to win over Damian.

Damian chuckled and said, "There is no way you can become more beautiful than this person..... however let's go with this. The time when you become as beautiful as her, I will become your husband." as he took Irene's small hand and kissed it.

"Wha!! What was that?!?!" yelped Irene as she blushed intensely at the sudden kiss she received from Damian.

'Wha!! He said he will marry me? B-B-But isn't the age gap too big between us.'

"Since you are not refusing I am taking it as you accepted my proposal. Work hard if you don't want me to not become someone else's." said Damian as he let go of her hand.

Irene who heard that didn't know why but still felt hatred towards all the women around the earth. She nodded her head with a serious expression and didn't say anything.

Soon she realised what she did and blushed. She covered her face with her hands and crouched down feeling embarrased as she just accepted the proposal.

"It's fine Irene if you don't want to we won't mar-"

"No!!! I accepted it!!!.....Wha-" said Irene but soon blushed again.

Damian laughed and then picked her up and kissed her cheek and said, "If you keep acting like this them I will just take you far away with me and make you my wife you know."

"....Really?" asked Irene with some tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Do you want to?" asked Damian.

Irene didn't say anything but soon nodded her head.

"Then I don't mind as well...." said Damian as he took her back to the tent as he still had to go to the battlefield.
