CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: VILLAGE FESTIVAL 4
Finally the day of the village festival has arrived, though no preparation occured in the palace, everywhere seem same, quiet and boring ….Lord Mammon on the other hand seem to be more busy, with lord’s of different empire visiting and princess milia plan to return back to her kingdom.
” Milord?”
” Hmmm” Mammon answer, no smile on his face, just empty as he read throu-ghhis files and stamp on the ones that need stamping.
” You seem hungry milord ”
” Am definitely not ” he mumble calmly, his gaze still on the papers, sitting quietly in his study room I look around then exhale, after Alina incident, Lord Mammon have tried all his best to keep me out of the killing and sight of blood.
Isn’t that a sigh of love, if that’s not love then what is it, am pretty sure he loves me but won’t admit it ” will you be attending the village festival?”
” No ”
” But you promised me you would ”
” Change of mind lily ”
Standing up I move to stand where I can see his face properly and that way, he lift his face and his gaze finally met mine ” promise and fail is a sin”
A smile rise in the corner of his li-ps ” surely you do not think that am scared of going to the so called hell ”
” You should be ”
” Hell is not that bad lily ”
I frown at that ” I heard they is fire in there ”
” Those are lies ” mammon frown ” the only think frightening there is the lack of sun, the darkness but now, it’s not so dark ”
” You speak as if you have been there ”
” Am a sin lily ” he mumble ” that’s my home ”
” Home?”
He said nothing else and I sigh before moving back to the chair, I sat down then watch him work, the way his expression change ad he fli-p throu-ghthe pages.
How is he so handsome, he is definitely everything women is wishing for, what else could you ever want, well I do know he is good at hiding his emotions that could be the only horrible and stupid thing in his body.
The door open to reveal baron, who walk in, blood all over his body, their gaze meet and baron nod his head to which made Mammon smile.
No words where exchanged, after the smile, baron left and am still wondering what just happened ” when will you marry me milord ” mumbling whatever comes to my head, I frown and surprisingly he gave me a calm and quick response.
” Soon ”
” Wait ” moving back to where I can see him, I notice him smiling ” you will marry me?”
He relax back on his chair ” do you find it unbelievable”
” Yes milord ”
” And why is that ”
” Because you said you don’t love me ”
” Hmmm”
” Do you love me milord?”
” What is love lily?” His question took me off guard and I blink, watching how entertained he is ” when you love someone, what and what do you do lily”
” You care milord, you wish to see him or her always, you practically will die from pain if something is to happen to the other ”
” Do I seem that way to you lily?” He move his head to his left and watch me carefully” do I do all these things ”
” Yes milord ”
” Do you think I love you?”
I nod ” yes ”
” But then, I can just be fooling you, I might just be seeing you as a little sister ”
” You can kis-s your sister?”
” Haven’t you heard that blood is thicker and better than water ” he stand to his feet and I look up to catch his gaze ” my silly lily ” he touch my cheek ” I am obsessed with you, love has nothing to do with it ”
My eyes widen from that ” is that a good thing?”
” It’s bad lily ” princess milia step in looking normal which is surprising, I expect her to frown ” when he is obsessed with something he thinks they belong to him, their smiles, laugh, mo-ans…” She look at Mammon, my gaze move to him and notice his is still staring at me ” even time of their death belongs to him ”
” What brings you here milia ” mammon ask, his fingers gently touching my lower li-p.
” I wish to have a private audience with you before leaving ”
” And when are you planning to leave ”
” Today ”
” Am afraid I can’t fulfill that wish for you ” he lean close then kis-s my forehead ” I have someone to attend to ” he smile and I blus-h, the air emitting from princess milia became strong with anger, anyone can feel it
” With such display of affection, you put her in danger without realizing it ” princess milia mumble ” your new maid will be the death of her ” her words made me frown ” red is a deadly colour ” I wanted turning and asking but Mammon stop me with his gaze ” what’s her name? Regina she said ”
” You mean red?”
” You appear to have a pet name for her ” milia chuckle ” I can’t wait to see your death lily ” at that I turn around and catch her gaze of certainty ” it will be a nice news ” with that she turn around and left, the atmosphere in the study room already heated.
I thought that Regina already left.
” Are you scared ”
” I disliked her from beginning ” I gro-an looking at Mammon ” why must she stay here?”
” Who are you speaking about ”
” Regina ”
” Why do you fear her ” Mammon furrow his brows ” you can kill her easily if you wish to ”
” I do not wish to kill ” growling Mammon frown
” You’re just my concubine lily ” he frown ” don’t think you can order me around ”
” And if I can?” I step closer ” what will you do”
” Guts ” he smile” you have those because I care about you ”
” No milord ” I frown ” I know you’re lying because you love me …not obsession but love ” with that I left his study room to the servant quarters to watch Regina watching the dishes, the moment her gaze met mine she bow her head ” milady ”
” Prepare we leave for the festival soon ”
” We?” She lift her head up and I nod
” You will be my escort ” turning around I left not wishing to see more of her, I hate the fact that she is beautiful
My fear of Mammon being attra-cted to her keeps increasing, no…I don’t want to lose him, I don’t wish to lose him.
