Incest?!

"You are completely different from what I have heard about you, duchess." a soft chuckle woman could die for was heard near the door pausing Eve again. 

Just how many people had decided to come and irk her.

"Misunderstanding happens, your highness." she slightly bowed her head, ready to leave again when he laughed loudly.

"You are not at all humble, lady Alancaster. Any other person would have refused the praise." Was it praise? She had felt like he was trying to humiliate her.

But that was not the reason she wanted to leave. She had a sinking feeling that Damien left too suddenly. Even if he was angry with her decisions, he would not leave her alone like that. Especially when so much was happening around her.

She could feel so many eyes on her and it was not because of the curiosity they felt toward her. But something was there. The strange eeriness had captured her. Growing on her and she wanted to get rid of it.
