The arrival of the princess

It was dusk when the two of them returned from the boutique and headed back to the palace.

Really took them a long time to choose a dress that suited the girl. They got off the carriage, Ophelia's face was sullen and she intended to return to her room immediately without waiting for the king first.

Cassius immediately stopped her steps and grabbed her hand "are you still mad at me?"

His gaze turned to puppy-like. Completely different from the one he usually put up on a daily basis. The gaze he only showed for the people he cared about.

There were various things that annoyed her.

The first was when they were both in the dressing room.

Her corset fell to the floor because he took off her clothes so easily. Actually Ophelia was annoyed why she couldn't take off the dress but when the king did it, the fabric unwrapped her body easily.

"I'm just helping you. I see you're having trouble taking this dress off"

That was the answer when Ophelia called him a pervert.

He had already seen her body before the girl covered it. Her full and plump breasts made he want to taste them.

How his gaze to her chest was caught red-handed by the girl who immediately turned around.

Cassius turned her body back "Hey, it's okay"

How could that be? She was really embarrassed now.

He brushed his thumb over her chest, Ophelia shuddered "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Cassius was really holding back his desire now. The strapless bra completely blocked the beautiful view in front of him.

Her breasts seems so snug in his palms that Cassius was tempted to do what was on his mind right now.

They can do it here. Quickly.

"Your Majesty, please come out. I want to change my clothes."

Cassius shook his head. He pushed her away and pressed her against the nearest wall. He shadow her body with his.

"no?"

"You haven't given me your answer yet."

"What answer, Your Majesty?" she looks clueless.

Had she really forgotten that?

Cassius was really lustful for her right now. He was afraid he couldn't help but look at her innocently blinking eyes and slightly parted lips.

"what did i say in your room"

Ophelia recalled the king's statement that day and she shrank against the wall. Unfortunately, now she can't run anywhere.

Because the king's hands on the right and left of her shoulders and his tall body overshadowed her.

Ophelia avoided eye contact with those inhuman amethyst irises.

She found it difficult to breathe under the king's intense gaze and only wore a bra.

"I .... It's possible to love Your majesty"

"look into my eyes when you speak"

"I can't" Ophelia shook her head.

"You've made me want you for the umpteenth time"

Those words struck Ophelia like lightning. Her heart pumped blood faster as she felt the sensation of butterflies flying in her stomach.

The blush on her cheeks was so pretty. Cassius had never seen a beauty like hers.

So far was always surrounded by the frigid beauty of the vampire ladies.

Despite sucking blood, vampires' hue was never as warm as that of humans.

They always appear cold. Like polished porcelain under the moonlight. It's nice to see someone look so alive like her.

Ophelia looked at the king timidly. Afraid that this is a trap.

That sentence is dangerous. The king should say that to a queen, or a princess or a noble lady. Not to a humman commoner such as her.

but after all she has past the age to know what that sentence meant.

"Come on, answer me"

"Do you love me too?" he is really desperate to hear a 'yes' answer from her.

Ophelia bit her tongue. Denying her feeling is painful. But she has no guts to imagine the danger that would lurk if she answered yes. The king would probably let her go if she answered no.

Ophelia had not had time to shake her head when he tilted her chin and kissed her lips. Slowly and gentle. Unlike what he was doing in his room that night.

When he pulled his face, she realized that she wanted his lips on hers as well.

Now, she knows that she has gone too far for the vampire king.

Cassius' hand moved to her waist.

Then spoiling the mood, loud knocks and Ruth's voice sounded worried.

"Miss do you need any help? You are taking too long. Is His Majesty in there?"

******

Second, what annoyed Ophelia to her was that this evening when they returned from the boutique, it wasn't just the two of them in the carriage that was moving towards the palace.

But there's another wagon filled with new dresses that will fill Ophelia's closet moving towards the palace.

"Most of your clothes are too small. You need them all" he said stubbornly when Ophelia refused all the clothes.

She felt it was all too much. And expensive. Even though she didn't spend any money, she knew the amount of coins to pay for all of that was not small.

"don't reject it"

"Very well, Your Majesty"

Cassius held the girl's palm and looked at her warm eyes "my son's birthday party will be held the day after tomorrow. You must come"

Ophelia nodded "of course I will come"

He will take advantage of this moment. He couldn't wait for that day. Celebrating his son's party with this girl. Cassius will start introducing her to the people, his friends.

This needs to be done if they want take their relationship to the next level. Ophelia needs to know their world and he will prepare for it.

"Come on in, it's cold here" He took her into the palace.

Not letting go of his hand possessively embracing her waist. Cassius really didn't care about the dozens of pairs of eyes watching them.

They entered the doorway when two women appeared there.

"Oh, Case! You're finally home, I was looking for you everywhere" Gwyneth smiled cheerfully to him "Look who's come for tomorrow's Averio party!"

The princess took the other woman's arm.

Ophelia held her breath for a moment. Cassius just gave a cold look, he tightened his arms around her waist.

The woman who was with Gwyneth stepped right in front of Cassius, he pulled Ophelia closer to him.

Seeing that, the woman put a smile as gentle and as cold as snow on her lips "Your Majesty, it's been a long time we haven't seen each other"

Her voice was like the sigh of an icy wind in the mountains.

"Princess Belladonna of the Rosever kingdom has arrived, Case" Gwyneth smiled happily.
