CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE.

After the urgent meeting, Dimitrix excused himself.

Heading to the balcony, he lits up his cigar and walk over to the balcony only to meet Delia sitting on the railing silently and quietly watching the stars.

Deciding not to disturb her, he took a u-turn but it was already too late for she had notice his unforgettable presence.

"Isn't it beautiful?" He heard her say.

"Huh??" He asked, looking puzzled.

"Stop moping around and come over here!!" She snapped.

For some unsure reason, Dimitrix found himself entertained by her strictness and he was reminded of someone he couldn't remember.

"How do you know I was there?" He asked, walking to where she sat.

"I know a lot, Dimi.This stars bring back memories right," Her lips broke into a depressed smile."Late Lord Zaki told us about the stars while we sat in the meadow looking up the bright stars but now....now the stars are vanishing and so are everyone that brought about those pleasant memories."

Dimitrix was growing skeptical about the fact she was just common maid, she was definitely something more.

"What is your true identity, Delia??"

"In time you will figure it out but in the meantime stay with me for a while."

"You sound distant, what's the problem??"

"If I tell, will you give me what I want so desperately??"

Dimitrix quickly reply without hesisting. "Anything."

Delia chuckled. "Those are the words that made the Real Eleanor do what she did," She whispered to herself. "Then can you give me your heart??"

Her unexpected question made him choke.

"See?" She cracked a somber smile."You can't and won't solve my problem. Don't promise what you know you can never give," She warns him."I love you,Dimitrix,"

Her confession made his eyes to widen in shock.

"Yes!!am inlove with you but I can't have you cause you're already taken.....so in order to make you and Eleanor happy, i will leave Arystarr and please don't try to stop me."

Leaving no room for argument she strode off.

~~~Weeks Later~~~.

Within the weeks that past, Delia had indeed gone for good although Eleanor felt a little sad, she still felt glad to have Dimitrix all for herself even when it sounded selfish.

Eleanor was also pampered by Dimitrix and she was convinced that he indeed loves her while on the other hand Aurora decided to find ways to get Dimitrix back.

Hiro and Aurelia hardly get to talk or play around like before and Aurelia wished to bring back those wonderful moments back but it was too late.

In Aurelia's Private dining room, Aurelia hardly touched her food instead kept her burning gaze on Hiro, forcefully making him to turn meeting her gaze.

"When are you going to talk to me??" She asked again, for the fifth time today.

"On a normal basis a mere Knight doesn't have such guts to talk to a Princess,"

She sneered and angrily forked her steak."Am sorry alright!!!" She growl.

"You don't need to, Princess....you and I were never quarreling-"

"Then why do you keep ignoring me and spending more time with that Servant.Vik!!!!" She rant as a hint of jealousy could be heard in her voice.

Hiro chuckled incredulously."Don't tell me y....you are jealous?"

"What if I say I am?" She throw him another question.

She was tired of hiding her feelings for him.

'Yes!!she has a crush on him and she wants him for herself even if he is just a mere Knight'

She got to her foot and match towards him, drawing him closer by his collar. "I am jealous, how you gonna take responsible??"

Heat creeps to Hiro's cheek as he quickly looked away."Aurelia please.....t....to close,"

"So am Aurelia now huh??" She said, sounding so seductively.

"I never knew Hiro could be this shy," She teased."So how you going to take responsible??"

"I...it's not my fault you are jealous, I...I...I..mean there is definitely no reason-"

"There is....okay," She stressed out."Cause I like you a lot."

Just that simple word made his heart beat rhythmically to hers."And i want to you for myself, am not someone who shares someone she likes with other and I want to court you. Is that a good reason,??" She lean in and peck him on the lips and ran out of the room, giggling and squealing like a school girl in love.

Demon Lucian sat on Aurora's window railing, staring down at Dimitrix and Eleanor having a small dinner outside at the seashore while Aurora was reckoning on what to do.

"Looks like Dimitrix and Eleanor are having a good time of there life.Ow!Dimitrix just fed her with the same spoon he used.Indirect kiss?isn't that what you human calls it, hm--"

"SHUT UP!!!!".Aurora grunts."I won't let that bitch who just came out from God's nowhere to steal my man!!"

Lucian frowns on seeing a sly smile

across her lips.

He quickly move away from the window and made his way to her.

"What are you thinking in that brain of yours!!" He growl,demanding for some answers.

"Is it so wrong to ask for what you own back?"

And she ended it with a devilish smile as Lucian frown deepens.

Five days left before winter season and also the winter ball.

Wizard Agnes decided to pay Eleanor a visit.

Reaching to the gigantic royal gate of the Arystarr castle, he raised his hand to knock but the gate was suddenly pushed open by a royal guard.

Seeing his dressing, his strange eyes and hair, no one needs to be told that he was a wizard.

"Say, what is a Wizard doing here?leaving his land to come to a faraway land????" The guard questioned.

"I came to seek for a certain person, Princess Eleanor from the kingdom of Esmeralda--"

"Ow!Lord Dimitrix new wife to be?" He blurts out.

"Huh?" Agnes asked, looking puzzled.

"I said I would have to inform Lord Dimitrix of your arrival and if he permits i will let you in"

And the guard shut the door at his face.

Erik and Eleanor who was just coming back from a stroll around the town on Dimitrix's instruction since Eleanor has been a little distance after Delia had left arrived at the gate to only bump into a wizard.

"Who are you????" Erik fierce voice echo through the night as he came down from his ride and drew out his sword.

Eleanor who was so used to Erik calmness was shocked to witness this side of him.

Eleanor follow Erik and stood beside him, to hear the intruder speak.

"I come in peace so don't harm me, am looking for Princess Eleanor of Esmeralda Kingdom."

Erik and Eleanor exchanged similar glance before looking back at the intruder.

"Take off your cloak!" She ordered.

"Have you forgotten me so soon," The intruder says."My fiancee."

And he took off his cloak revealing his large violet eyes and his dull white hair.

"Agnes!!" Eleanor squeal in excitement and spring into his arm.

Dimitrix remove his gaze from the pile of document and watched as Erik walked in.

With a warm smile he asked.

"How did the stroll go?Did Eleanor feel somehow good?" He was eager to know the result.

Erik sadly shook his head."She looked just the same but she did change once we reached the royal gate--"

Happiness and joy rides in his bright eyes."Really?Was she that happy to see me??"

" I doubt that, she was actually happy to meet her fiance, Wizard Agnes."

Erik watch in horror as his Master smile and happiness dies off into a grave look.

"Where are they now?Take me to them?" He ordered.

"This way, Lord Dimitrix." And Erik led the way.

Eleanor was very happy to see Agnes and she just couldn't believe her eyes.

"Stop clinging onto me, Kaitlyn.You act as if you have known me for long--"

She met his comment with a lazy shrug of the shoulder. "It feels as if i do, What brings you here?"

"I came to see if you've been killed or not."

Eleanor laughs. "I sent you a letter but that bastard Dimitrix tore it and forbid me from sending to you--"

"With the way you talk about him you sound so fond of him, Kaitlyn--"

"Who are you calling Kaitlyn?Her name is Eleanor!"

Irritation was clearly written all over Dimitrix's face and it was so obvious to see that Dimitrix despise him already.

"Ow, Lord of Arystarr Empire, an honor to meet you," Agnes stood and so did Eleanor still clinging onto him.

Jealousness spread through his body on seeing how Eleanor looked cheerful clinging onto her fiance and that made him wonder if she was ever happy in his palace.

"Senior Wizard Agnes!" Aurora's voice rang through the room. "Welcome to our palace and to Arystarr of course.You must have missed your bride to be."

One could clearly see that Aurora was beaming with joy to see Agnes here and also the frown on Dimitrix's face.

'Serves him right for making her poor heart ache'. She huffs.

"Aurora, my pleasure to meet you-"

"You must be starving after the journey, come let me take you to the dinning chamber. Follow me." And she made her way to the door as Agnes followed but stops before Dimitrix.

"You must be vexed to see me.I don't know whether it is because we are enemies cause of the coming war or maybe...." He lean closer and whisper in his ear."Rivals cause you admire my fiancee, i advise you to keep your eyes off her."

He patted his shoulder regardless of the spite expression on Dimitrix's face and he hurried his pace to catch up with Aurora.

Dimitrix deadly gaze shifted to Eleanor and without saying a word, he strode off with Eleanor and Erik trailing after him.

Dimitrix didn't blame her for her Fiance suddenly appearance but what angered him was the fact that she acted like she indeed felt at home and happy with him.

When it was all just pretence.
