Chapter 208: Demon Frost
With glittering eyes he watched as his wife appeared on the screen in front of him, smiling as she looked down into the camera. Of course he knew that she was not looking into the camera but rather at the dog that Dora had taken to her, however, he could not help himself.
With a quick movement, he paused the video, his thirsty eyes taking in her face. Today was the first time he was seeing her since that fateful night. Seeing her like this, her smile even more restrained than it used to be made his heart ache. She’d never been too plump to begin with but now she seemed to have lost more weight. What kind of karma had she accumulated in the past that all her blood relatives seemed to be against her.
His back ached as he hunched over the screen, unable to take his eyes off her vulnerable face. As he stared at the frozen image on the screen, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of helplessness. He needed to work on helping her get back her memory or else... the plans that the Queen had, would put her in even more danger.
Switching back to the live screen, Demetri closed his eyes and heard the words carefully. So the rumors about Prince Augustus were indeed true. He smirked when Dora insisted that she would go with them and Nora tried to refuse...
Did his little kitten want to spend time with that Prince? With a smirk on his face, he moved back in his seat and listened to the little girl criticize the Prince freely while Nora agreed. At least she had not lost her judgement along with her memories. And for now, he did not need to worry about Nora going out with the preening man. Dora would not let go so easily.
He’d finally had confirmation that his Kitten was indeed here and seemed to have lost her memories. Now the first thing he needed to do was establish contact with Nora and probe her memories. What had exactly happened that her memories had vanished?
As far as he knew, she had received no injury from those people who had brought her here. But between the time she had been separated from him to coming here, something had transpired to make her like this.

Prince Augustus made a face as he watched his date lift up the little sleeping princess from the car and carefully carry her into the room. He’d planned a beautiful day of picnic and shopping to woo her, hoping to end the day with Nora in his bed.
But it had been ruined by that little girl and her messy dog. The Queen insisted that he needed to marry Eleanora at the soonest but then she sent those two demons to torture him! All day long, he’d felt like he’d ended uo doing babysitting instead of a date.
And that dog! Even the dog seemed to have some sort of princess complex, insisting that she be carried all the time. Each time he succeeded in having that kid distracted and tried to slip closed to Eleanora, the dog would butt in. If they had been back home, he would have had the little pup beheaded about a hundred times by now.
The dog seemed to sense his emotions and growled at him. Narrowing his eyes in anger, he lifted his leg to kick the thing when suddenly the dog ran away from him. He cursed under his breath but the next moment he almost fell back as a person walked out of the shadows.
