Chapter 69 {Silver pov}

{Silver pov}

We all returned to our Kingdom the next morning. "It's good to have you back your highness" Hart my personal guard said. "It's good to be back" I replied. "How was your trip?" Hart asked. "It was good" I replied. "I hope you were able to rescue Queen Diamond?" He asked.

"Yes" I replied. "Hmm" "What?" I asked. "I am aware you must be excited to have her back" Hart said. "Words can't express how I feel right now.... Anyway let's get down to business" I said. "Princess Demetria asked after you" Hart said. "Why?"

"She sent an invitation for you" Hart said "An invitation? For what?" I asked. "She would like you to join her dinner" Hart replied. "What did you say to her?" I asked. "You weren't available at the moment" He replied. "Very nice, " I said.

"Your presence is needed in the throne room" Hart said. "Why?" I asked. "His Majesty request you join him in the throne room" Hart said. "Do you have any idea why?" I asked. "I guess he would like to discuss the issue concerning the welfare of his people" Hart said.

I went to the throne room, we all stood up the moment my brother Damian walked in. He sat down and we joined him afterwards. "What's the issue?" Damian asked. "It's concerning the welfare of our people" Queen Eloise said.

"What about them?" I asked. "The people are suffering, there's no water, no food, and everyone is ill" King Morley said. "How is that possible?" Damian asked. "Ever since you left, the Kingdom has been going through a lot of difficulties" Queen Eloise said. "Why wasn't I informed?" Damain asked.

"You were too busy taking care of Queen Diamond's issue" King Douglas said. "What do you suggest we do?" Silver asked. "Diamond?" Damian asked. "I'd have to look into the matter first" Diamond said. Damian gave us the look of approval, the door flew wide open. Lilith walked into the room.

"There you are honey" Lilith said. "Honey?" Ivy asked. "I've been waiting in our room for hours, when would you join me?" Lilith asked. Honey? Since when did Damian become Lilith's honey? In their room? Since when did they share a room?. "Soon, I have something to take care of, you go back and I'd be with you shortly" Damian replied. "Alright cheese cakes, I'd wait see you in the room. Don't be late" She said.

Cheese cakes? Hmm, this meeting just got interesting. Lilith left immediately while everyone stared at Damian in shock. personal I wanted to laugh my heart out but I think it would be best if I pipe down. Damian cleared his throat. "Well if that is all then you may all return to your rooms" Damian said. Everyone left the throne room but I refused to leave. I decided to tease Damian.

"Hello cheese cakes" I said. Damian gave me a death stare. "Wasn't that what she called you?" I asked. "I don't even want to talk about it" Damian said. I walked closer to the throne. "Please do cause I'm interested".I said. "Ever since Lilith woke up she's been acting strange, like really strange" Damian said.

"How strange?" I asked. "Um... Unusually strange, she.... She" Damian said but he suddenly paused. "She what?" I asked. "Never mind, you just want to gossip and I am not in the mood" Damian said. "I have this magnetism for gossip" I said. "I'm aware" Damian said. "Come on bro, what's the matter?" I asked.

Damian sigh . "Last night, something weird happened" Damian said. "What happened?" I asked. "Lilith seduced me" Damian said. "Huh?" I asked. "I mean I was this close to falling for it, I... I..." Damian said. "Did you?" I asked. "No... No, I couldn't do it" Damian said. "Why?" I asked. "I... She isn't all that strong and I couldn't bare the thought of hurting her myself" Damian replied.

"So wait when she said our room, what did she mean?" I asked. "She thinks we are.... In a relationship" Damian said. "Whoa, that's good news, you've always wanted to protect and keep her all to yourself so now you have the opportunity..... Trust me bro no matter what happens don't let her go" I said.

"I had no idea you could be this reasonable" Damian said. "I'd take that as a compliment, besides I have my moments" I said as I made my way to the door. "Damian, she needs you now more than ever, so please don't screw this up... Bye, bye Cheese cakes" I said as I left the throne room.

I returned to my room, Hart informed me that my brother has gone for a picnic with Lilith. I went to the court yard, I saw Diamond walking in circle. What is she up to? I went to meet her.

"Hey, Diamond what's up?" I asked but she totally ignored me. "Are you alright?" I asked. "I'm fine" She replied in an angry tone. "Are you sure?" I asked. "YES!!" She yelled. "I'm sorry I just wanted to know what's bothering you.... You've been acting weird the minute Lilith woke up" I said.

Diamond took a deep breath. "I didn't mean to yell at you... I'm just thinking" She replied. "About what?" I asked. "I can't tell you" Diamond said. "You have to.... I'm not leaving you until you tell me what's bothering you" I said. "I can't tell you here, we need to go to a place that's quiet" Diamond said.

"I know the perfect place" I said. I took Diamond to a Tavern. A Tavern is like a casino, where people come to drink and gamble. I must confess this is my favorite place. "Silver when I said quiet I meant quiet" Diamond said. "You wanted to go to a place where no one would eavesdrop on our conversation right? This is the perfect place, besides this is my quiet zone" I said.

"Really? This is your quiet zone? Never mind let's just go straight to the p, the reason why I'm troubled is that....." Diamond said but we were interrupted by Sylvester. "Fancy meeting you guys here" Sylvester said. "Sylvester? What are you doing here?" Diamond asked. "Oh, I came here to clear my head.... This is my quiet zone" Sylvester said.

"Huh? This is your quiet zone too?.... How is this quiet?" Diamond asked. "Let's forget about that" I said. "Hold on a sec, Silver why did you bring Diamond here? Aren't you aware she's now a Queen? I mean if you wanted to take her out on a date why in heavens name would you pick the Tavern?" Silver asked.

"We're not on a date... We're here because somethings bothering Diamond and I want to know why" I said. Diamond looks at me, then Sylvester. We both both looked at Sylvester again before looking at each other. "Can we trust him?" I asked. "I not sure... What if he tells Damian?" Diamond asked. "He wouldn't... If he does then I'd kill him myself" I said.

"Um.... Since, what ever you guys are about to discuss involves me being killed then count me out" Sylvester said. "That's impossible, since you are here then you're part of us. So I suggest you seat down" I said. "No, no, no, what ever it is you want to discuss, leave me out of it" Sylvester said.

"Seat down now" I said with authority. Sylvester sat down without hesitation. "Now continue" I said to Diamond.
