Shadows Inside The Abyss |𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗗|

Chapter Eight

He was indeed a prince charming that everyone adores. He is a man not full of lust yet he is full of wonder. He's one in a million as his mind was not full of greed and envy, he was nor prideful. He was not like the other men.

We are now inside the drawing room wherein he bought me flowers. My favorite blue roses were present as we had biscuits and tea. I was wearing my tiara and having tea with a fine gentleman.

I am not new to this but knowing it is him that I am with, it makes me feel butterflies. No, not only butterflies but the whole zoo. Father did not seem to mind so I figured that he already had everything in mind knowing we can come in the wolfeinian territory when I marry this king.

I shrug of that thought and continued to love spending time with the king of the west. He was drinking his tea quietly while looking at me like I was the precious gem he would never risk losing.

"What might interest the princess of the vampires? I would like to know." he asked

Which surprised me. Men who used to have tea with me did not care about what I liked, instead they cared about what they liked and never asked for my opinion. I cannot say anything since father did not want me to create any ruckus.

"You seem surprised? Have your suitors never asked you that question before?" his brows furrowed.

I smiled sadly.

"They do not care about us women. Usually they will just boast about their achievements on tea time." I answered honestly and bit my biscuit, he scoffed.

"They were not raised right. It is important to please and know the lady before they marry. Ladies are not trophies for display, they are beings that needs to be taken care off. How petty can other men be these days." he uttered and finished his tea.

I smiled secretly hearing his remarks. He was a true man indeed. While other men try to dominate women, this man, loves the idea of taking care of women. He thinks differently and states things differently. He was raised right.

"You seem to not care about men's pride.." I stated.

He looked at me and rolled his eyes.

"Men's pride are useless if you lose your loved one because of it." he then brought out his sketch book which surprised me.

"Do not move, I want to sketch such beauty in the afternoon." he added,

I chuckled.

"Why are you this sweet your highness?" I asked him.

He froze and looked at me with disbelief.

"Is it not obvious?" he asked.

Umiling ako. It was not obvious. I do not know what he's doing at all. Why was he doing all these things for me? Does he want to shag me? Why didn't he ask for it? I will clearly agree.

He sighed.

"After all this time.." pagmamaktol niya.

I chuckled once more.

"I am courting you, milady."

My heart just missed a beat.

He was courting me?

Nililigawan niya ako?

"Nililigawan moko?" tanong ko upang masigurado na tama ba ang aking pagkakarinig.

Now it was his time to chuckle.

"You look good with your cheeks tinted red. To answer your question, yes, I am indeed courting you." he said, astonished.

I held my cheeks and they were indeed hot. This man. I pouted as I wanted my cheeks to stop blushing but it still continued. He knew what I was doing which was the reason why his laughter enveloped the room.

"Why are you courting me? Do you want to be inside me?" I asked him seriously.

Which stopped his laughter. He looked seriously as his golden eyes met mine.

"What did men do to make women think like this?" he uttered to himself and shook his head.

"Milady, if I said I want to court you, it is because I want you. All of you. Not your body, not your face, but your soul. I want your soul bound to mine." he said.

I was taken aback.

He didn't want those things men usually asked for.

He wanted to be half of my soul.

Not my body.

Not me as a trophy.

He shook his head once more.

"Now, tell me what the things you may like." he commanded.

I chuckled.

"Hmm.. no one's ever asked me that. What would you like to know?" I asked him.

He then, flashed the brightest smile that I have ever seen. It was so pure.

"You look great while smiling. I want to know everything, yet right now I want to know how to make you smile often." he said.

I unconsciously looked at myself in the mirror and yes, I was indeed smiling like an idiot.

"What do you mean? I always smile." I stated. Mentioning the fake smiles that I always give the people.

He scoffed,

"You can fool every-single-person in the room with that fake smile, but not me."

I bit my lowerlip. He knows. He pays attention.

"What else do you know then?" I asked him.

Hiding my embarrassment, I barked back.

He chuckled.

"I know that you like to dip your biscuit in your tea. You only use two cups of sugar, and that you love blue roses."

Yeahp. He pays attention to me and my likings, such a sweet man.

Suddenly a song played, I glanced at the door and saw Yippie smiling at me genuinely as she closed the door. This man never failed to make my heart race every time he comes. He is such a magnificent piece.

Can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me,
Fell inlove with science and eclairs,
It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.

"A fairytale indeed." I said as he smiled at me.

He took my hand and kissed my knuckles.

"You are the magic in my life milady." he said.

I bit my lowerlip.

'Today was a fairytale.'
