chapter 5

(Lillian pov)

I wake up hearing Evelyn crying which causes me quickly to make her turn to face me, I see her with puffy eyes like shes been crying all night long.

" Evelyn what's wrong are you hurting" I ask and look her body over thinking I hurt her last night. When she sees me worried she starts crying even more and buries her head had into the pillow, I slowly rub on her back trying to get her to calm down to tell me whats wrong.

" I'm going to get issy to bring us breakfast" I said then got up from bed and I see Evelyn raise up from the pillow.

" who is issy" Evelyn asks while she pulls on a pj top and lays down on her back, I walk over sitting on the edge of the bed.

" Issy is a new maid I accidentally kept beating up, she's actually a fairy" I said then raise up walking over to the bedroom door and find issy standing by the door waiting.

I giggle when I see her wings lightly flutter and I pat her on the head and felt daggers in my back coming from her mate whose feeling insecure right now.

" issy will you please bring us breakfast to my room, Evelyn isn't feeling good this morning" I said to her and she quickly bows, when she was about to leave she stops then slowly turns to me.

" you didnt kill her, I heard the poor girl scre-" my tail quickly comes out smacking her on top of her head. I close the door returning to Evelyn's side and I see her watching my tail.

" well I think its gotten use to staying out, so tell me what's wrong" I said glancing at my tail as it seems to have a mind of its own lately from all the stress since her father came clean about a prophesy and the things Maximus is doing and will do worse if he gets the throne.

I climb beside her wrapping my arms around her and pull her closer to me, I do a light healing spell on her eyes then quickly peck her lips, issy knocks on the door.

" come on in" I said then raise up to help pull a table closer to Evelyn to place the food down. I nod at issy to thank her, I see a wide smile and then she wiggles her eyebrows. I quickly push her the rest of the way out and close the door. I walk over to the plated food noticing a ham and cheese omelet, toast and fruit salad, I hand Evelyn her plate.

We quickly finished our food and done our personal hygiene routine, we walk out into the garden and sit down next to my Koi pond to feed the monsters.

" my black and silver little boy loves Evelyn, but today he is acting shy with her and she's unusually quiet

" ok you need to talk to me, you don't show up for over two days and last night...well last night was great, but now your acting like the living dead" I said while interlacing our fingers together and kiss her knuckles.

I hear her sigh, she is really starting to worry me and I don't like the distance she is putting between us.

I raise to my feet to go into the house to grab a present I bought for her, I go to my wardrobe pulling out a small box that has a black diamond ring inside that I had especially made for Evelyn with a spell that cast pictures above it of us.

I quickly make my way outside to her, I signal her to turn around with my tail.

" I have a surprise for you, now turn around and close your eyes" I said then make sure shes not peeking at me.

" ok turn around and open your eyes Love" I said on a bended knee.

At first she smiled from ear to ear, but slowly turns to a frown, I get really concerned right now.

" Evelyn what's wrong with you, please talk to me I just proposed to you and now you act like I killed your familiar" I hissed at her and grab her hand slipping on the ring, I mutter a spell to where she can't take the ring off for twenty years.

" Lillian I'm sorry I can't marry you right now, I didn't know you were going to propose to me right now and I guess I need to tell you why. ok you know about the other Kitsune kingdom, if I don't marry him and I told you everything we discussed before so their wont be no physical romance between us and he has a way to produce the heirs through formations" Evelyn said then reaches out for my hand, I'm still in shock and I feel her cheek against my knuckles.

I jerk my hand away from her, I'm not able to look at her and she could have been honest with me from the beginning. I slowly walk away then see issy standing by the door, so I stop in front of her.

" call a wagon to take her home, let her fetch her things as she pleases and I'll be in the library I do not want anyone to disturb me" I said coldly leaving them both behind.
