The successor : warrior of north

Chapter 10

DELLA

I couldn't even sleep a wink last night. It was more like a dream , spending time with a young handsome king , wearing a dress handpicked by him.... What are the chances? I can't believe myself. Alice gave me an invitation to me which his guard left for me. It was an invitation for a ball party. This Ball party was famous as it is held near to dark valley and most of the dark valley people participate in it. Anyone without an invitation can enjoy the party. This party was a gratitude towards the dark valley people by a rich count. Once his little girl was missing and found out that she was kept a hostage in the neighbouring country. The previous king of dark valley himself saved the girl. Apparently she's the only one who saw him. Since that day onwards there was a ball party conducted for every one in dark valley , once a year. Now it's more like a tradition.
                     This invitation came with a box which contained  a simple dress and pair of shoes. Clearly it was not expensive, Even though, I waited for him by wearing it. A guard arrived to pick me and he stopped before the place arrived. I was terrified. He already once told me that so many people want him dead. What if the guard is one of them? I had no weapon with me. He opened the carriage and I saw Zander. I can't explain the amount of relief I felt at that moment. The carriage left us alone as I got out of it. That's when I noticed him, he was not wearing anything black. But white shirt and brown pants which was something common among people. And his hair was not brushed, his shirt partly show offs his well built chest and it was also a lose fit. He looked amazing. He looked like a perfect sculpture in the blue light of night, it felt like the whole world just stopped. He snapped his fingers, I was dazed for a moment. He took my hands and walked. As far as I notice , no one knows about the dark valley king. That means he wants to show up there as a commoner. That's why he sent me a regular dress. But I have a question , what if the people from the palace who attended the conference saw him? ..... He looked at me like he just heard something that I asked in my mind. " No one will find out who I am. I will make sure that. So relax " as he said that I felt a little embarrassed because what if he thinks that I don't trust him? .... When I'm with him I feel safe and happy. I don't wanna leave him. But it makes me anxious. Everything comes with a price.
                     We reached at the party. As we entered I knew no one there. I can do whatever I want. His guards were no where to be found. We drank wine, we danced and had so much fun. At the end of the party, they played a slow music that everyone could dance with their partner. We danced as the song played, it was amazing to be held by him. His eyes looking into mine, suddenly I felt a shivering all over my body. He leaned so close to me and smelled my left side of the neck. I could only close my eyes and grab onto him. He whispered, " little bunny you smell nice ". Even his voice is giving me an orgasam. He again looked into my eyes and asked me whether I had my first kiss. I said no. I guess he took it as a permission. He kissed me gently on my lips. How come a man's lips softer than mine? He bited on my lower lips & made me open my mouth to insert his tongue. It felt like I was melting alive. I couldn't open my eyes out of pleasure.  He tighten the grip against my waist. His one hand was on  my cheeks for adjusting my head to his comfort. He  slowly released me as the music stopped. Right now if I had one wish I would wish for him to be with me forever.
                     I reached home alone in the carriage as he had some urgent work. I was dreaming of meeting him again and again. When I entered the home I could see Alice looking at me like she just met a ghost. Suddenly I noticed my father sitting on a chair and watching me. I was speechless. Also I was curious. Father had a habit of bursting out his anger wherever he was. But today he was quiet. He walked to me and said that he cancelled the marriage with the Enoch's. Then he said something that I can't believe in this lifetime. He already knew I was close to the dark valley king. He said that the king killed my aunt and uncle years back when I was just ten years old. I still remember staying with them. They were the nicest people to me and was rich and lived in a mansion. They were killed and dismembered. I don't remember much. But I was there when they were killed. The vague memory of them filled my mind. I was found by my father near the forest and brought back home. Sybil was just 5 year old then. So she doesn't know about this incident. Selene and Adonis Fairley, one of the best count and countess of Arrdiva who had a close relationship with the queen. So , now my father is saying that I'm falling for the cold blooded murderer of my beloved aunt and uncle. I can't accept this. I walked straight to my room. Dad left there as it is not appropriate for him to stay with us. I felt like he just made me remember everything that I ever wanna forget. I witnessed the murder. There were two men who tied and kept them hostage and a man in black coat swinged his sword towards them. He killed them brutally. I just wanna give Selene aunt a surprise by hiding at the storage space of their carriage. But they surprised me instead. It was an unforgettable day which I wish I never witnessed.
