SAVE ME

As Alexa walked back into the realm, her thought wandered back to Faren.

“What?”she’d asked.

“Marry me”Faren said once more.

Alexa looked from Faren to the ring. He was definitely planning something.

He had this all figured out and she wasn’t going to walk into his trap.

“Why?”

“Do you need a reason for us to get married?”

Alexa nodded her head”Yes. From what I’ve heard of you so far, you are a pervert and-”

Faren angrily shut the ring close as he boiled in rage but he tried to suppress it.”Think about it Alexa and you really shouldn’t judge me by what you’ve heard about me.”

With that said, Faren had turned around and left.

Alexa sighed. She really shouldn’t be thinking about Faren now.

Josty was yet to wake up. Alexa suddenly felt her head bump against someone.

She looked up and saw Eren.

“Oh, you are still here?”Alexa asked looking around scanning for the others”Mikasa and Jerrie?”

“They left. I was actually waiting for you”Eren held Alexa’s shoulders”Are you okay? Warren was quite harsh, wasn’t he?”

Alexa looked at her shoulders before slowly removing herself from his grasp”It’s okay. I understand he was worried. Is Josty up yet?”

Eren nodded his head” Yes, she is”

Alexa sighed in relief”That’s a relief. It’s getting late, I think you should-”

“Alexa, you have a visitor”Geraldine said sighing”You seem to be having alot of guests this night. Nana won’t be pleased”

“Who is it?”

Amelia appeared from behind Geraldine.”Greetings”

“Who are you?”

“Forgive me. I’m Lady Gezelle’s servant”Amelia stretched out the envelope to Alexa”My lady ordered me to deliver this to you”

Alexa took the envelope as Amelia bowed her head as she left.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Alexa stared at the envelope in awe. A letter from the queen? But why?

Eren turned to face Alexa”What is it? open it quicky, I’m curious”

“You” Geraldine said pointing to Eren”visiting hours over”

“I’ll leave after i-”

Geraldine dragged Eren out by his ears.”Come back tomorrow”

“Ouch, that hurts! Geraldine!”

As their voices slowly faded away, Alexa walked into her room.

“Alexa, Josty is fine. She was just pretend-“Karina said but stopped as she saw her expression.

“Is something wrong?”Celine asked noticing her expressions too.

“Guys”Alexa dragged out”Prepare my grave”

“What?”

She raised up the envelope”The Queen sent me a message”

Karina smiled widely”The Queen mother?”

“Queen mother”is who they referred to as the mother of all angels.

“No, Queen Gezelle!”Alexa shouted in frustration.

Celine’s eyes widened in fear”Why?”

“What do you think? She obviously found out about Lord Damien and I “Alexa pulled out her hair”I still can’t believe he was married all along. He’s worse than Lord Faren!”

Josty rushed to Alexa and held her hand”If you are too scared to check it, I’ll help you”

Alexa smiled as she squeezed Josty’s hand”Thank you Josty. By the way, I would like my coffin white”

Josty took the envelope as she slowly opened it.

Her eyes scanned the content of the letter as she looked up at Alexa”Alexa”

“What is it?”

“The Queen wants to have tea with you tomorrow morning”

Alexa blinked her eyes in confusion”Tea? Why?”

Josty shrugged”That’s all it says”

Celine took the letter from her hand”Give me that”

She read it slowly, line by line and word by word but didn’t get any new information from what Josty had said.

Alexa fell flat down on her bed”She knows”

A knock was heard on their door.

“Come in”Karina called out as Geraldine opened the door.

“Alexa, you have a guest”

Alexa sighed”Whosoever it is, tell them I’ve died”

“Then come back to life because you and I need to talk”a deep voice said making Alexa get up from her bed.

She turned around to see herself face to face with Damien.

Seeing him made Alexa weak but she wasn’t going to easily give in to him.

He’d used her and what’s worse he’s soon to be married.

Alexa folded her arms stubbornly”You are going against the rules of this realm; no one receives a visitor after curfew”

Damien smirked. He hadn’t expected her to listen to him immediately.

He knew just how stubborn she was.

Damien walked till he was Infront of Alexa”I own this realm and I’m king over this entire land. I’m above all rules”

He was above all rules but yet he’d politely said to Alexa”Please, we need to talk”

Karina slightly pushed Alexa forward towards Damien”Go with him”

“Yes, go. The longer he stays here, the worse your punishment.”Celine said.

Alexa sighed as she followed him to the roof.

“What is it you want to say?”

“Are you and Faren getting married?”

Alexa scoffed”Is that why you are here? You don’t need to bother yourself with me , your highness. Remember what you said? You used me so stop bothering me and focus on your marriage”

Alexa turned around to leave but Damien held her back.

She turned to face him”Let go off me ”

“Listen to me. I only said that what I said that day to get Faren to stop targeting you. Look, if you don’t want to ever see me again , that’s fine but don’t marry Faren. He’s only trying to use you”

Alexa removed her hand from Damien’s grip.”I guess there’s no big difference between you and him then”

“There is. I never used you. Not one minute!”

Alexa’s eyes widened in shock”What?”

“I never used you. I actually fell for you the first time I saw you in front of the vampire’s realm. It was so obvious that someone like you wouldn’t want to be with someone like me so I pretended the love potion spell worked just to get close to you”

“Stop!” Alexa cried as tears rolled down her cheeks”Saying all these changes nothing. You are still married”

“I’m not married, I’m engaged. An engagement that was decided by both our fathers when we were still kids”Damien held Alexa’s hands”And engagements break”

“What I said doesn’t change anything but what you will say will change everything, Alexa”

Damien squeezed her hands”So what would it be?”
