Eiana pursed her lips, 'Oh no , where are my manners? '
She then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you so much, Mr.Saviour. If not for you I would have died already. You are an angel, really. "
She was really very grateful to him, for saving her life. Or else, only God knows what kind of paste her body would make if she fell from that cliff.
" Now can you answer me? Why are you here? And... Are you really from the Court? " she asked.
Darius looked at her and smiled. Then he walked towards where Eiana had spread her food and sat there. She followed him and also sat beside him.
Then she heard him say, " Yes. I am from the Royal Court. "
Eiana was surprised again. " Really! How come, I never noticed you before?! " she exclaimed.
Tsk.. Tsk.. How sinful! How can I not notice such a handsome man...
Darius laughed a little and said, "Hm... You didn't notice me, your highness. But I always did. "
Eiana's face turned red when she heard it. Suddenly she felt so shy.
Darius continued, " Actually... I was just passing by.. when I saw you. I thought you looked like the princess, so I came closer to see properly, but who would have thought that she is the princess and also in such grave trouble. "
Hearing his explanation, Eiana nodded. Oh, so that is what happened. Hm.. Sounds reasonable.
Well.. Yes, of course, it does sound reasonable, but only to those who don't know better than this sly man is the one who is responsible for her safe elopement!
"So your highness, what are you doing here in the wild, all alone?" Darius asked bitting his lower lip to stop smirking.
Eiana who had started eating already stopped and looked at him. She stared at his face for some time, thinking.
Should I join him with me? After all, it's so boring to be alone...
And I can't even let him go! What if he goes back and tells father. No.. No..
Eiana was still comprehending whether to take him in her plan or not... When she heard him say, " Are you not going to be the bride of the King of Veleris soon? Why are you here now? "
Eiana was shaken. "!!??!! " Oh, he too knows it already?! Seems like, I have to join him with me, no option.
Then she dragged her butt near him some more and whispered, though they were both alone there.
" Okay, let me share you my secret!
Listen very carefully, okay.
So... I am running away from the marriage.."
Darius widened his eyes, pretending to be shocked. " Really? Why! "
Eiana licked her lips and dusted her hands and said, "Why not? Have you not heard, that my soon to be possible husband is a Vampire? "
Darius raised his eyebrows and nodded, " I have. "
"That's why!!! I can't marry a vampire, you know! They are so scary... " She exclaimed.
"You think they are scary?. Why? I think.. They are quite good looking, especially their king. " He said while also trying to sound convincing.
I am quite handsome, I guess. You were clearly drooling over me a few minutes ago.
But alas, the princess, looked at him like he was a pitiful child, "Oh my... You don't even know? That's Vampires we are talking about! How can that be good looking?! "
This man knows nothing about them.
" Okay let me tell you. You have a completely wrong impression of Vampires.
They are not some sweet, caring, loving, and gentle creatures. They are fierce, dangerous, and wild.
Do you know that they live by sucking human blood? So how can their king be any less! He must be more dangerous!
Oh my... What if he drains all the blood from my body on the first day itself?!
And I have even heard that he is extremely... Ugly..
Like, I won't do justice to my kids, if their father is so ugly and they too are born like him.
So tell me, how do you expect me to marry such a creature?!! "
Hearing her words, Darius' lips twitched. Who has filled her brains with so much nonsense!!
" So that's why you are running away? " He smiles slightly and asked.
" Uhm Hm, that's right! " she smiled. Seems like, he is getting my point!
