112 A Kiss from the Princess (2/2)
If Don was indeed the one they are searching for, Darlene was sure that they would honor the deal they made and she could even ask for their help in defending Korrinth but what if he wasn't? Or what if they wanted more time to confirm their suspicion.
When they mentioned the core disciple selection, Darlene made the deal with them without any second thoughts. At that moment, she didn't think that the Agorians would actually declare war with them and make an enemy out of Darlene who had the chance to be an inner disciple of Cold Moon Palace.
However, something made King Garreth do the exact opposite of what she had thought and what was more surprising was she never imagined that Emir's army would be so weak to get destroyed overnight which led to this dire situation.
Even though Darlene saw Don's face when he said this, she could see in his eyes that he's lying and she guessed he had something that could help them. At the moment Darlene's options were to wait for the mysterious person to help her with the war or since she knew Don was lying she could make him help her defend the kingdom and the last option, escape the kingdom and came back to Korrinth as an inner disciple and demand King Garreth to give up her Kingdom back.
In all the three options, the first one and third one had so many variables but the second option had no major drawbacks or variables. If Don had something that could help her, she would use him. And then after the war, she would either kill him or do whatever she thinks at the moment.
”Lying is not your strong suit, Don”
She could read his expression like a book as she thought.
”Yes you can King Don, I will do anything if you help me”
As she said, she leaned closer to Don and he could feel her warm breath closer to his chest while her rose fragrance entered through his nostrils and sent a bolt to his brain.
Arrora had a nauseous feeling when she saw the Princess trying to seduce Don as the Princess wrapped her hands around Don's neck.
”Pri...”
And before DOn could open his mouth, Darlene put her finger on his lips as she stood up on her toes to reach Don's cheek and kissed him on the cheek which made Arrora's eyes almost bulge out of the sockets as she wanted to punch the Princess in the face so hard.
”Tell me, will you be my knight in shining armor?”
Arrora could barely hear Darlene's husky voice and saw Don nodding his head like an obedient child.
”Don't worry Princess, I won't let anything happens to you or this kingdom ”
When Darlene took a step back from Don, her face turned into rosy red and quickly walked away from the room without looking back leaving Don and Arrora.
”There's a”
Arrora was pointing at him at making some signs in the air with a frown on her face
”What?”
”You have something on your face”
She was still frowning while pointing at Don's face as he touched the cheek Darlene kissed.
Taking his hand from his cheek, Don saw the red stains on it and realized that Arrora was pointing at the lips mark on his face
”Hmm, that's how it feels when a princess kisses you huh?”
”What did you say? What the hell Don”
Arrora became even more furious when she saw Don's reaction like he actually enjoyed the kiss
”What? It felt good”
He said and started to walk towards the door and while he was walking, Don knew it would annoy the hell out of Arrora what just he said.
And what Don said for kidding really did make Arrora furious as she wanted to punch him in the face instead.
