Darius nodded and asked then, "How much do you know about the King? "
"Umm.. Not much. Only what I told you. Honestly, I don't even want to know more about him. It's terrifying. " She said with a strange expression. Disdain clear on her face.
Darius could only look helplessly and thank heavens that he didn't reveal his real identity at their first meet, Or else, she would have kicked him to death already.
"So, Princess, why are you saying this things to me? Aren't you worried that I will say this to His Majesty? " He smirked and asked.
This time, Eiana had a evil smile on her face and she said, " Mr. Saviour, Do you think I will let you go? "
Darius frowned lightly and asked, " Milady, what do you mean? You are not going to kill and bury me some where here, now that I know your secret, right? " He laughed lightly.
Eiana fell in trance for sometime, when she saw him laugh. So handsome. Then she shook her self to senses and laughed.
" Ah.. Nothing like that. "
It's just that... You will need to accompany me, for some days!
You see, I really don't know too much about the town and other places, and I need to hide some where till the marriage between the two kingdom is cancelled, so that my father don't find me.
So.. You need to help me! "
Eiana said so simply as it was a Matter of fact.
Darius looked at her and said ," Um.. But why should I help you? "
Seeing him hesitating to help her. Eiana suddenly made a pitiful face and said, " Are you so heartless to see me getting married to a monster? Are you not worried that I will die ?"
And the next moment, she changed her tone and said, " Dont worry, after the marriage is cancelled. When I come back, I will ask father to promote you to a higher rank, okay. So... Please.... Help me! "
Seeing, Eiana try all hook and Crook to convince him, Darius chuckled and said ," Okay, as her highness wishes. "
Though he sounded as if he agreed reluctantly, he was actually gloating inside.
Ofcourse love, how can disagree. I did all these, for this thing only.
"Great!! So you will have to be with me and protect me okay?! " Eiana beamed.
" Ofcourse, you are my responsibility now, milady. I will protect you. " Forever. Darius smiled and replied.
So, this is how, our dear princess made the one stick to her, from whom she was running away.
Just like that, they started walking again. This time, Darius didn't show any of his Vampire's powers.
Come on, he is currently a goodie goodie human for her ,right now.
While they were walking, Eiana asked him, "By the way, what is your name? " She realized that she didn't ask for his name.
Darius looked at her for sometime then thought of taking a chance and said slowly, "Darius, my lady. "
Eiana nodded and pronounced his name, that rolled so naturally from her tongue. And Darius' heart almost leaped out.
