Chapter 99 {Damian pov}

I sat on the roof of Asmodeus Castle, I decided to clear my head. I heard footsteps from behind. "What are you doing here all by yourself?" Diamond asked. "I just want to be alone" I said. "What's wrong? Is it about last night?" Diamond asked.

"I lost control last night... I almost killed her" I said. "But you didn't right?" Diamond said. "Yes... My inner demon is taking control over my body everyday... I don't want to hurt Lilith" I said. "I have no idea why the potion isn't taking effect... Should I tell her the reason for last night?" Diamond asked.

"No... Its best if you don't tell her. She probably hates me" I said. "She would never hate you, she just need time to herself" Diamond said. "Anyway what about Silver?" I asked. "I don't know" Diamond replied, she was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. "Speaking of which you have a visitor" Diamond said.

"Who could that be?" I asked. "It's Malcolm" Diamond said. "What does he want?" I asked. "Why don't you ask him" Diamond said. I sighed. "Let him join me" I said. "As you wish" Diamond said. She left, I was so lost in thoughts. The event from last night came flooding through my mind.

I can't believe I almost killed Lilith last night "What bothers you, Your Majesty" Malcolm asked. "Nothing" I replied as I snapped back into reality. "What brings you here?" I asked. "Well I'm here to inform you that the quests for Crowned Prince Nathaniel's wedding has arrived" Malcolm said. "So soon? Why the rush?" I asked.

"I have no idea but from what King Benjamin says it's best people arrive ahead of the wedding" Malcolm said. "Why is he so desperate?" I asked myself. I cleared my throat. "How's the preparation going?" I asked. "Everything has been set Your Majesty.... There would be a feast upon your arrival" Malcolm said.

"Feast? Why are we having a feast?" I asked. "King Benjamin would like Prince Nathaniel to spend some time with Harriett... So they would get to know each other" He said. "Hmm... Very well" I said. "And Nathaniel?" I asked. "Nathaniel is in the Castle as well speak" Malcolm said. "That's good" I said.

"So what troubles you Your Majesty?" Malcolm asked. "Nothing" I replied. I saw Lilith playing with Benjamin and that little girl called Taytum. "Hmm... I seem to understand the reason" Malcolm said. I looked at Malcolm. "Don't fret Your Majesty... She'd understand what ever happened" Malcolm said.

I looked at Malcolm in confusion, I can't believe what he just said. I can't get angry at him cause he has always been there for me. I consider him family. "I understand the minds of females. It's very easy, you shower them with lots of attentions and then you'd win their hearts" Malcolm said.

I couldn't reply, I just sat down quietly. "I'd take my leave now, Your Majesty" Malcolm said. He left eventually, I sat down still admiring Lilith. Wait if Nathaniel's already in the Castle, what would Lilith do? I don't want anything to happen to Lilith.

I left the roof, I went to meet Diamond. "Diamond... Inform Lilith that we would be leaving tomorrow" I said. "What? So soon?"Diamond asked. "Wasn't that what you've always wanted?" I asked. "I know... But I'm starting to like it here" Diamond said.

"Every good thing has to come to an end some day... So inform Lilith" I said. "Why don't you tell her yourself?" Diamond asked. "I have my reasons" I said.

"Argh... Please don't give me that excuse. Tell her yourself so you could reconcile with her. I don't like this sad side of you.... It's too cheesy" Diamond said. "You're disobeying a King" I said. "You forget that I'm a Queen so we're in the same category" Diamond said.

I looked at Diamond. "Don't be stubborn okay?" Diamond said as she slowly tap my cheeks. I can't believe I'm getting ordered by a Witch. I had no other choice, I went to Lilith's room. I knocked on her door. Benjamin opened the door, the minute he saw me, he glared at me.

He was about to close the door but I used my foot to keep it open. "Benjamin who is it?" Lilith asked. Benjamin rolled his eyes at me before leaving. I felt like killing him at the spot but I couldn't for the sake of Lilith. Lilith opened the door, she froze when she saw me.

"What brings you here Your Majesty?" Lilith asked. "Your Majesty?" I asked in confusion. "Um... Can I help you with something?" Lilith asked. "I'd like to have a word with you" I said. "I'm a bit busy at the moment maybe when I'm done" Lilith said.

"I want you now" I said. Lilith stared at me. She closed the door from behind her. "Um... What's the emergency?" She asked. "We would be leaving tomorrow" I said. Lilith was silent, her face was blank.

"So soon?" She asked calmly. "Harriett's husband has arrived so we need to return as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements for the wedding" I said. "Alright... Thank you for informing me" Lilith said. She was about to leave, I held her back.

"What's the problem?" Lilith asked. "About last night... I was wondering.... I mean I hope I didn't hurt you?" I asked. "No, I'm fine" Lilith said. "Look I... I wasn't the one talking last night" I said. "Who was it then?" She asked.

"It's complicated" I said. "Are you trying to apologize?" Lilith asked. "No... I mean yes" I said. "You're doing a terrible job" Lilith said. I took a deep breath, I looked at Lilith I noticed marks on her neck. I was about to touch her neck, she quickly stepped back. It hurt me deep down.

"I didn't mean to hurt you" I said. "It's fine... I have to go" Lilith said. I tried to touch her. "Don't touch me" Lilith said. I withdrew my hand. "I'll be on my way.... Take care of yourself" I said as I left.
