Chapter 86: I Am Doomed
Damon was sure about one thing. Olivia lacks self awareness. The more he stared at her huddled figure sleeping on the other seat of the carriage without a care, the more he was sure that she did not care about a thing in the world when it comes to her sleep.
She had forgotten that he was annoyed. She had forgotten that he was a man and she was a woman. She had even forgotten her plunging neckline.
He took another deep breath to control himself and look away. But his eyes fell on her again. She had folded her legs so she could dress and ride up. He could see her bare knees. that pair of long and slender legs kept creeping its way back into his sight.
To distract himself Damon opened the file and started working on it. It was the report he had to submit about the war. The attacks and defence and how much he had spent on it. The lives and properties suffered and the overall budget of the war.
It is for getting a refund for the knights and for the future record. Each line written in it would be checked not only by the ducal family but by the royal family. It was an important document.
Surely, he would not be distracted if he would work on it, right? In the start, he read the line carefully, but as the time passed the number of times his eyes kept drifting towards Olivia’s thighs quickly increased.
After the tenth or eleventh time that his gaze fell on her thighs, he shook his head and started writing the next paragraph in the file.
Though the thin walls the incessant chattering of his knight continued to fall in his ears. They were talking about the resources of the royal palace. While he visited his majesty, the knights were taken to the royal training grounds. They must have been impressed by their resources. They were discussing those resources. However, he didn’t have the mental capacity to pay attention to what they were saying.
Their resources! Olivia was good at collecting resources. He did not know she could recognize herbs and make incense sticks.
