The Devil In Guise - Chapter 120

“What are we going to do mother ?” Lincoln asked. His heart was racing at an unknown speed. He feared if it’s stop , he might die.

“You two, made mistakes in the past and I always ignored them, this time, I am going to punish you and Stefan for this humiliation” queen mother Daria snapped.

She was looking for the perfect lie to tell the king of Red valley, should in Case, he asked about Stefan. Of course , he was going to ask.

After all he was his first and only son in law.

“Forgive me mother I did not planned for this to happen” he apologized to her.

“Send the guards, to go and bring Stefan back to the palace immediately” Queen mother Daria said, standing up from the seat. “I want to see him”.

“Mother did you know where he might be ? It’s late already” Lincoln asked.

“Foolish boy. If he is not with his friends, check at Angelina’s house. You will find him there” She yelled at him.

Without waiting for a reply, queen Mother Daria headed for the dinning hall. She was nervous. What if princess Amara tells her father everything? ‘No way, I won’t let that happen.’

Quickly, she entered the hall. The family members stood up when they saw her. The king’s face brightened, it seemed he was waiting for her.

“I was worried that you might not come to see. How are you and your household ?” The king stood up from his seat and walked to where she stood. Queen mother Daria stretched her hand forward.

“Welcome to Akkad , your highness.”

“You don’t look too well your majesty” He said , kissing her knuckles softly.

She tried to put on a smile but it’s failed. What a day! She sighed.

“How will I be well, when my son is not in Akkad” Queen mother Daria walked to a seat and sat down. She had a perfect lie finally!

“Which of your sons are you talking about ?” The king sat down.

“Your son in-law Stefan of course. I am so worry about him” She lied. The king was going to believe her. He just arrived Akkad.

“And you did not tell me about this Amara” he turned to his daughter who looked quite shocked. She was confused on what to say.

“No father. You did not ask about him” Princess Amara managed to say, drinking the wine in the cup. She hated this lie that queen mother Daria was making her to say.

If not for Stefan , she would have told her father the truth.

She was too afraid to lose him

“Prince Stefan went to deliver an important message for me. He will be back soon” Queen mother Daria said.

“A message? Is he not a prince? Why will you send your own son on such a journey ?”

“Of course he is my favorite son. But like I said earlier the message is important and only Stefan is trust worthy” She answered with confident.

The king was getting on nerves. She took a deep breathe and grabbed a cup of water.

Just when he was about to drink it, Lincoln came to the room. Her questioning eyes asked what he was still doing in the palace.

He came to where she sat and whispered “We can’t find Stefan mother. He is not at Angelina’s nor his Friends’ place.

**

Stefan could barely breathe when he was done. He kissed her tired body softly. She was the best thing that happened to him.

“You look tired Angelina. We should spend the night together” He said, biting her ears, gently.

She shrugged. “No , you are going home. I don’t want Queen mother Daria to be angry. You know every soon she is going to be my mother in law.”

“Wow! You are taking her side already. I know queen Annabelle will take mine instead” Stefan said.

“Who is queen Annabelle ?” She asked with jealousy in her eyes. He smiled when he saw that.

“She is my girlfriend. I love her do much. How about you? Do you have boyfriend?”

Angelina frowned. A girlfriend! Few minutes ago, this man was telling her how much he loved her.

Or was he trying to make her jealous?

Only the king’s wife was referred to as queen in Akkad The prince’s wife was a princess.

If the woman was a queen then she was Stefan’s sister in law.

“Don’t try to make me jealous Stefan. She is your sister in law” Angelina sat up. “I am going to dress up now. You should do the same.”

He did not want to leave the tent that night. Spending time with Angelina was the best thing that have ever happened to him. He stood up and started dressing too.

“I will do as you say my princess. I will do any thing you want.”

“Fine. I want you to go home to your mother. I am sure, you did not tell them where you were going to. They must be worried by now.”

“Maybe. They don’t really care about me. I am less important compare to Lincoln, my elder brother.”

“You shouldn’t say that” Angelina turned , while Stefan zipped her dress. He kissed her neck before letting go of the dress.

“Naughty prince. When are we going to see again?”

“When I am able to convince my mother. I want to marry you at all cause, Angelina” Stefan said, holding her hands. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Then go home immediately. Go and ask your mother for permission first” Angelina released her self from his hold.

She went out of the tent. He wasn’t going to gathered or carry any one the items home. Queen mother Daria might suspect that he went to see Angelina.

Losing the horse’s rope, that was tied to the tree, Stefan rode home to ask his mother if he could get marry Angelina. -the love of his life.
