Chapter 119

~ Damen ( POV) ~

“She didn’t come?” I looked at Emres and asked as Helica gave Demir to me. As I took Demir into my arms, he giggled and wrapped his little arms around my neck cutely. Fuck! This boy is really cute. Why did I think that boys are not cute?

“No, she stayed there telling that she cannot leave her people.” My heart clenched hearing what he said. Why is she so fucking stubborn? Didn’t I ask her to come here? I sighed and hugged Demir tightly against my chest. I needed to come here because I just simply didn’t want to fight or get hurt.

“Tonight the war is happening. As the queen said, she would fight and won’t let her people die. She just simply said as the queen she cannot leave her people and escape for her life.” Helica said as she looked at Demir who was in my arms. What the hell should I do now? Asteria staying there means that Kalon can simply get her with his tricks.

This was the fucking reason why I wanted her here. Why this woman is so stupid? She is the queen and she should be there for her people but before every fucking thing she has to save her life. Letting out a complicated sigh, I looked at Logan. Pressing his lips together, he shook his head before walking towards me.

“You need me to go there and check on her?” he asked me. Looking at him, I shook my head. If someone is going to check her it will always be me. I should be the one who should be responsible.

“There’s no need.” I said as I walked out of the throne hall and walked towards my room with Demir who was playing with my hair. He’s playing with my short hair because he used to play with Asteria’s hair. Patting his little back, I took him towards the room but I suddenly stopped and looked at Demir.

He was biting his little lips and tears filled in his eyes. My heart skipped a beat with horror, why is he crying? I didn’t do anything right? Did I hurt him by patting? I caressed his back and kissed his forehead. Then he suddenly pulled my hair making me groan. What the hell? Is he angry? Damn... how the hell am I going to deal with this kid without his mommy?

“He’s hungry! Can’t you see it?” hearing Karina’s voice, I looked at her. She was looking at me as if I was an idiot. I really don’t like this woman. Fucking savage. I rolled my eyes and looked away as I turned to enter the room ignoring her but she came towards me and grabbed me from my arm.

“Give him to me. I’ll feed” she said, raising her arms. I watched her face for a while and lowered my head as I looked at Demir. Should I give him to her or not? Clenching my jaws, I sighed before giving him to her. I trusted her. She had no deep intentions and she just stayed. And I just simply believe Logan so I knew she would never harm my son. She took Demir to her hand and smiled at him as she cuddled him.

Then she looked at me and simply walked away. Watching her leaving, I saw Logan was also coming. He stopped and looked at her with shocked eyes then looked at me before coming towards me with a forceful smile on his face.

“Your woman took my son away. Hope that everything will be fine now I’m ripping your head apart” I said as he chuckled looking at me. Then I walked into my room and let out a deep sigh not knowing what to do. I couldn’t leave now with my men preparing for a war and at the same time, I need to be with Asteria. I can’t let her do everything alone.

No matter what, I was the king of Solasta. I had the responsibility to rule the kingdom and protect people but instead of doing it, I came here and fought for this kingdom. Rubbing my forehead with annoyance, I walked towards the bed and sat on it as I looked at Logan’s serious face. What the hell should I do now? I planned everything smoothly but Asteria’s one action made everything fucked up. She’s really something.

“You’re thinking about going there?” he asked me. How am I supposed to do it at this point? Even if I wanted to go there and I couldn’t because of the situation here. They needed my instructions for everything. They needed my plans to prepare for the war so I couldn’t leave here.

“I’m not leaving Logan. She will survive” I muttered as he lowered his head and sighed. I knew he was worried about Lora too. It’s been one and a half years since he hasn't seen his twin sister. He was worried and he always thought about her. He just simply didn’t want anything to happen to her. He had to separate with her twin sister because of me. He followed me here while Lora followed Asteria.

“Don’t be upset Logan. I know you’re worried about Lora just the same way I worried about Asteria but at this point we have nothing to do. You know the situation here so it’s just so fucking hard for us to leave here now” I spoke as he nodded at me with an understanding gaze. Then he just let out a deep sigh and rubbed his forehead before looking at me.

“Let Karina take care of the prince while we do our things.” he said looking at me. I nodded at him, I can’t be with Demir all the time with the work I had so the only option I had was to give him to Karina and she’s the only one I can trust when it comes to Demir. She will not harm him. Waiting for a while, I got up from the bed and walked out of the room with Logan following me.

Then I just simply stopped at the balcony as I looked down at the training field. So many young men were training. And at the same time some of them were using weapons to fight. Seeing my army, I let out a sigh. They will do everything better with the strength they have. They are just simply amazing when it comes to fights.

“We shouldn’t be worried. They are so fucking great” I heard Logan’s voice and I chuckled. Of course they are fucking great. After I came here this was the second thing I did after wiping out unwanted bastards who were controlling this kingdom.

No wonder why everyone said that Solasta was the best kingdom. It was because Eilish was covered with ignorant rulers, useless things. This kingdom has the best army and this kingdom has the men with fucking unbelievable strength. Solasta can’t even compare to here when it comes to armies. But the thing was, no one knew how powerful this kingdom was. And no one never paid attention because of the bastard king who ruled here.

“Ask Emres to come and meet me” I said as Logan waited for a while and nodded at me before walking away. Then I watched my people and I was really satisfied with their performances. I was just simply happy. They are powerful and fucking strong.

Watching them training for a while, I remembered nothing but Asteria. My heart was beating fast with fear of losing her. I don’t know what will happen tonight. I don’t know if she would ever be able to fight with her delicate body. Taking a deep breath, I sighed and rubbed my forehead. This is not the only problem I had, the most annoying problem I had was that bloody Ermic. It’s been a month since I’ve last seen him.

I have no idea where the fuck he took that fucking princess instead of coming here. He was just simply arrogant. He saw her and the next day he took her with him. Maybe, he had reasons for that which no one would ever be able to understand. Who knew that he fell in love with her at the first sight?

I sighed and looked back as I heard footsteps. Then I saw Emres who was looking at me and Logan was also there. Watching their faces for a while I shook my head and spoke.
