In Lianna's mind was a whirlpool of memories that she couldn't grasp a hold on it was both frightening and stressful, this was all happening while she laid on Damiens lap with her eyes closed in a deep sleep. If only she could get a grasp on a thought, just one single thought Lianna thought as she struggled..... and there she goes almost like falling down a rabbit hole she found a thought.
'It was a cold night, Lianna saw herself, in front of her? She wanted to say something but her mouth couldn't say a word it became nothing but a breath. The woman in front of her was herself, the same age but it still was her. Lianna was wearing an emerald green cloak that seemed to keep her warm, she seemed tired and week almost like she has been traveling for days.
Her skin was pale white and her lips became almost blue, she was in need of shelter when she saw a cabin hidden in the woods, and what looked like a light coming from the window. With the strength she had, she ran all the way to the door when she suddenly collapsed before being able to even knock on the door. When she woke she saw herself looking up at the wooden ceiling and a fire blazing right next to her, her cloak was now over her body warming her up.
Still, a little dizzy Lianna stood herself up, getting wobbly and ready to fall a stranger came up from behind her and grabbed her waist to settle her on his lap for support as he holds her up. Turning around to see the man her eyes widened at the sight she saw, this man in front of her was handsome the most handsome she has ever seen. The present Lianna could only gape at who that man was..it none other than Damien.
"I saw you on the ground outside you looked so blue I thought it was too late...um oh excuse me my name is Damien" he spoke softly
"Who are you? Where did you come from?" Lianna asked also gently, she seemed so caught up in this man's looks and his calming voice it was like she couldn't think. She just wanted to hold his face in her hand, trying to do so the man grabbed her wrist and caressed her face instead, but something didn't seem right with him ' why was she asking who I am does she not know?' is what Damien thought before answering.
"I am Damien from Liven"
"the empire?" Lianna asked
"yes" he stuttered
"what do you have to do with that place?"
'she really didn't know' Damien thought
"I am a prince- well more like the next air to the throne I am soon to be king"
Lianna was speechless she expected something like a traveling merchant or a doctor, but a king? She stared at him hoping for it to be a joke but that never came, this man was serious.
''what's your name?" Damien asked, trying to change the conversation. When Lianna came back into reality she answered.
"Lianna"
''That's a beautiful name, and where did you come from?"
"Not important at least not like you I am sorry for the intrusion by the way sir- I mean your majesty- ugh I should be going, look I'm sorry" Lianna tried to get up when she heard a pleasing giggle come from Damien, she turned around to see the man almost amused and smiling.
"Why are you sorry I brought you in here remember and theirs still a terrible blizzard out there it wouldn't be smart to leave yet" Damien grabbed her hand and brought her closer to his chest.
''And cut it out with all that majesty crap I don't wanna be king silly girl"
Lianna really couldn't believe it, why would anyone not wanna be king?
"oh why do you not wanna be king, if you don't mind me asking"
"not at all, my father has set up this arranged marriage with a leader from another kingdom, eh rival kingdom is more like it, he made a deal that if I marry his daughter they would not attack us"
"oh.. I am sorry, so how long are you staying here"
"hehe forever my dear, now enough about me, 'his face became hardened'. Do you need anything maybe some food or water?"
"oh yes thank you do you have tea?"
"what kind"
"mmm butterfly pea flower tea''
"well thats oddly specific, cause I do not have that, maybe at the castle back home but not here"
"what do you have?"
"what others do you like?" Damien asked patiently but his face looked saddened
"surprise me" Lianna smiled at him, which Damien could only respond with a wink as he stood up to make her something. When he got up he couldn't help but peek at her gorgeous frame before turning the other way towards the kitchen, in his mind he pictured what he just saw, he didn't notice it before but the women standing before him was absolutely gorgeous almost like an angel, she was curvy but delicate like a beautiful flower. When Damien thought of her like a flower the only one he came up with was a Lillie given her name and the way she talked.
