107 What about a duel? (1/2)
”Is that King Don?”
Lord Clemo was talking with Princess Darlene while Don entered the gardens and surprisingly Darlene couldn't see Adria who's supposed to be Don's personal guard.
”Yes, Lord Clemo. You should meet him, here let me introduce you to him”
Seeing Darlene waving her hand, Don sighed inside and walked towards her
”Lord Clemo meet King Don and Don meet Lord Clemo, ambassador from Agoria”
”It's an honor to meet you, King Don”
Don was surprised to see Clemo genuinely smiling and reaching out his hand as Don thought the whole annulling marriage thing would make the ambassador furious and make him leave the kingdom at the first light.
”Likewise, Lord Clemo”
Don shook Clemo's hand and let go as Lord Clemo stared at Don like he's studying him
”King Don, have we met before?”
”No Lord Clemo, I don't think we met before”
”Hmm” Lord Clemo rubbed his chin as he said
” I could have sworn that I have met you somewhere, but I guess I'm wrong”
”Well Lord Clemo, I have to say that you seem like taken all this marriage thing pretty cool ”
Lord Clemo laughed hearing Don as his plump cheeks moved up and down
”I'm indeed shocked King Don, but I must remain calm since my healer said stress could kill me so I've learned to take everything very cool, however...”
The smile on Clemo's face slowly faded away and replaced by a gloomy expression
”To be honest, his majesty Garren wouldn't be so happy when he hear about this King Don”
”I'm the one to blame for this Lord Cleme but I assure you that we will compensate King Garren as best as we can”
Darlene said as Lord Clemo sighed and nodded while Lord Clemo's one of the guards entered the garden
”Lord Clemo, you carriage has arrived”
”Its seems I have to bid farewell to you both”
”Safe journey, Lord Clemo”
Darlene said and Don nodded his head without saying anything as Lord Clemo followed the guard and left the garden leaving Don and Darlene alone.
”So Princess Darlene, I assume the access key will arrive today ”
”Jeez King Don, even when you are alone with a beautiful girl as me, you are talking about the business, you're no fun”
If Darlene was with another man, she would have definitely raised his heartbeat with her smile and pouting however Don didn't show a single emotion on his face as he stood cool and calm like always which made Darlene roll her eyes and answer Don's question
”I will give it to you when I get it, King Don but my father doesn't need to know about this”
”Of course”
”Where is Adria? isn't she supposed to be with you all the time? where is she?”
”I've sent her to buy some personal things, she will be back soon”
Hearing Don, Darlene imagined many things in her mind but since it was none of her business what Don do with Arrora, she nodded her head
”And about what my after asked”
”I will play along, Princess. I hope it won't bring any troubles to my doorstep after you leave the kingdom to the Cold Moon Palace”
”What a coward”
Darlene thought but didn't show what she's thinking on her face
”Don't worry King Don, I will make sure that you won't get any troubles when I'm done with you”
As she said Darlene turned back and left the gardens while Don remained calm even though he found Darlene's last words ominous.
”Honey, did Don say anything about what your father asked?”
After leaving the garden, Darlene saw Queen Bella on her way to meet her father, King Harold.
”Don't worry mother, he agreed to it”
Queen Bella sighed and let out a small smile when she heard Darlene
”Then come on let's go see your father”
As thinking Harold would be happy to hear this news Queen Bella rushed to the throne hall with her daughter.
”You seem happy, Bella”
