Dimitrix was short of words,he looked perplex by such boldness, the way she called his name sounded so familiar to him."What's your name,lady?".
"What the heck do you want?".She asked,sounding irritated.
Dimitrix didn't understand why he didn't strangle her for her disrespectful behavior yet he enjoyed her scolding which gave him a feeling of nostalgia.
He cleared his throat. "I heard you are Eleanor's friend-".
"Roommate".She corrected.
"Is that so?Then what lies did you fill in her head?,Even if what you told her is the pure truth,you have no right to speak of me like you actually know me when you don't. Don't go around spitting nonsense unless you'll find your f**king head on a silver plate!".He threatened,sending daggers glares at Delia causing her to shiver in fright but she dare not show it.
"Good".He mumbled and brush past her but his steps halted when he heard her say.
"What if I say I know you just like Aurelia and Aurora do-".
"Don't speak of their name like that,I warn you!".
Delia cracked a smile."Yes,Dimi".She replied and walked away.
Dimitrix entire body went rigid by her words. 'Dimi' was the word his father used to call him and only few important people knew.'so how did she actually knows that'
He ran in search of her but she was long gone.
Aurora was prepared to go to bed,she applied her face skin cream than took off her robe and climb onto her bed when she suddenly heard a knock."Go away,I didn't ask for anything!!".She shouted.
"It's i".
Without being told Aurora knew who it was,the man that set her heart on fire.
"Dimitrix".She called,sounding seductively which any man would fall for but Dimitrix was not just any man.
The door opens as Dimitrix made his presence known.
"Dimitrix,what are you doing here at this hour?".She intentionally tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I came to talk about something important,Princess Aurora".The formalities he used brought a frown to her beautiful face."Sit".She offered and he obeyed."What is it,Lord Dimitrix?".
"It's about a maiden named Delia which you kept in the dungeon".Aurora frown deepens. "So?".She prods further.
"The young lady seems a little weird as if she knows me,is that actually how she is?".
Aurora laughs nervously. "Of course,she's really crazy but she does her work well,anything bothering you?".Dimitrix shook his head but was still confused.
"But she doesn't look crazy to me,she reminded me of someone-".
"DIMITRIX!!!!".This was the first time Aurora raised his voice at him and that made him dumbfounded. "This is my bedtime, so please leave".She uses her head to gesture to the door."Please".
He nods and left.
Sensing he was finally gone,Aurora spoke. "Come out Lucian I know you're here?".
Immediately Lucian who was lurking in the dark shadow came out with a grimace expression. "What does that dirty Lord wants?".The disdain in his voice didn't go unnoticed to her.
"What grudges do you have against Dimitrix!".
"Why did he come into your room by this hour?".He asked,sounding possessive.
Aurora broke into laughter. "Then what are you doing here too?".She question between laughter.
Lucian frowns."What did he say!!!".He questioned again,his eyes turning red with anger.
"Delia is causing a lot of trouble for us all,it wouldn't take long before she goes for Eleanor too,what should I do?".
"Keep her closer,Aurora".And he vanished.
The Next day.
Eleanor prepared for her work,she only wished not to see his face.
'Gosh!how could she open her mouth and blurt all she heard,now she felt embarrassed to face him'.
"You look worried".Delia interrupts her from her thought.
Eleanor nervously laughs. "A..am not".
Delia brows rose in question. "Am not a fool,Eleanor, what did Dimitrix do to you?".Delia still couldn't understand why Dimitrix will come to her to only warn her from telling Eleanor about the monster he is.Why?She felt jealous.
Eleanor shook her head."I...I..accidentally spill out what you told me and I feel so embarrassed,Gosh!".She covered her face with her hand.
Delia stood silently observing Eleanor.
Dimitrix looked at his pocket watch,anxiously awaiting for Eleanor arrival.
A knock was heard on his door,he quickly composed himself."Cough,cough...come in".The door cracked open as Aurelia entered.
She watched as his shoulder slouch in disappointment.
Aurelia smiled."Expecting someone else,is it Aurora".She cocked her brows.
"Get lost".He scowl.
"Whatever,i'll will be going to the town".She informs him.
"For what reason".She heard Dimitrix asked,bringing a frown to her face.
"Don't tell me you don't remember!What is going on?".
"Have remembered,no need to nag,you're not my father!".He retorts back.
"Don't fall for anyone other than Aurora, you know what led our father to leave his throne?cause of falling for those muggles-".
"You don't need to remind me,Aurelia maybe I should rather be telling you that".
She scoffed."Am just as cold as mother but you are just exactly like dad,hard out but soft inside.See you later,My Lord".She bow and walked away.
Dimitrix sigh."Too late Aurelia,am actually in love now".He turn cold feet as Eleanor walked in,looking pretty as ever.
He stood up and gingerly pad his feet to her then halts before her.
"Eleanor,last night,I didn't sleep around,I went to bed by the middle night after looking through some documents,I woke up and waited for you.L...Look I..I also cleaned up so you wouldn't have to work yourself out.Yes,i admit i do sleep with other maiden but after you came to my kingdom i stopped,believe me".He said,acting bashful.
Eleanor wondered why he was reporting all this to her but it made her a little happy."Ca...cause you've captured my-".Dimitrix was about to blurt it out when he was interrupted by the loud growl from her stomach.
A low laugh escape from his lips as he stood up."Let's feed that thing,shall we? ".And he strode out with Eleanor at his tail.
Meanwhile,in Aurora's Chamber.
Madam Nora and Delia stood before Aurora who was laying on her sofa,popping strawberry into her mouth.
"You called for me,Princess Aurora".Nora stated.
"Hum".She said in reply."As you can see I have no Personal maid".
"Cause you said you didn't want one,Princess Aurora".
"Am a human can't my mind be changed".She grinned."And have chosen someone, My dear Delia".
"Yes,yes,yes...,when can she start?".Nora quickly say.
"Now of course".Aurora stood up."Delia lets go to the dinning area,My. Dimitrix .Is.Awaiting. Me,His.Betrothed".Aurora gave her an emphatic comment,directing looking at Delia.
By the time Dimitrix reached the dinning chamber,food was already served and Aurora was already sitting watching Delia who was serving her."No I don't want this...put more of it....are you stupid?...Why you putting a lot of pepper?....do you want me dead??".Aurora kept on ranting nonstop.
Once she sighted Dimitrix,her mouth lift up into a delightful smile.
"Lord Dimitrix".And she gave him a bow as the other lowly does the same.
"Rise".He ordered and they all rise. Dimitrix eyes rested on Delia for a while before he went over to his seat.
"Should I serve you,My Lord?".Aurora offers.
"The servants can do it".He refuses."Am your soon to be finance, of course I have to fulfill my wifey duties now before the future".She grinned and picked up an empty plate and put his favourite meal on it.
"Here".She dropped it before him,Dimitrix lowered his gaze to the pile of food before him."This isn't what I want".
"B..but ..but you used to love it".Aurora said,feeling a little embarrassed.
"You said it yourself,'I used to love it' and I don't anymore-".
"Dimitrix".Aurora reached out to hold his hand."But...".She frozed as Dimitrix fury eyes rested on hers.
"Er....Er....Lady Aurora, Sir.Dimitrix doesn't like close contact with woman....".Eleanor was silenced by her Aurora blazing gaze.
Judging from the angry scowl on her face,they all knew she was angry.
"Shut up,Eleanor. ...I myself know that!I even know what made him not to have contact with women so shut your trap!".She fires back and reluctantly let go of Dimitrix.
"Delia serve me breakfast".His statement made everyone gasp in shock."W..w...what...what???".Aurora stammered. "Delia??".
Dimitrix didn't say a word again but his subconscious gaze on Delia which was uncomfortable made her quickly obey and she placed it before him.
Dimitrix stroke his chin while staring at the food.'How did she know this was his exact favourite food'.He was confused and he needed answers.
"Thank you".He mouthed and she smiled coyly.
Eleanor didn't know why but she felt an unfamiliar feeling that run down her body just by seeing how Dimitrix and Delia went along with each other.
Dimitrix draw out a chair beside him and sat."Sit".He ordered.
Delia heart became warm with his kind gesture.
Padding her barefoot to his direction, she heard him say."What?".He lifted his lashes to look at Eleanor. "Do you want an invitation for you to sit?".Delia step stopped and so did her heart.
"M..me?".Eleanor heard herself say.Dimitrix rested his chin on his palm and looked at Eleanor with a genuine smile no one hardly sees.
"Who else am i talking to,Princess".And he resume into cutting his meal.Eleanor gingerly lowered herself on the sit.
'She had thought he was talking to Delia who would've known it was her'.She looked away hiding her shy smile.
Dimitrix stabbed the piece of meat he cut and brought it up to her lips."Here".Eleanor was left perplexed by his gesture and so did others."Open wide,princess...say ahh".
Subconsciously she open her mouth and ate it.
Dimitrix scooped a full spoon of cooked oyster and brought it to her mouth again.
