Chapter 170: Burn With Her
"Would this be all?" Damon signed the last papers and a seal was ready of his name. Duke Histoire used it on the papers, confirmed it and then nodded.
Then he watched Damon as if he was looking at him for the first time.
"Your father never spoke good about you." he started. Damon looked at him with a vored glance. He did not need someone to mock him and insult him. He needed to return before Olivia would entertain another foolish idea.
"But I knew he had been wrong and you would prove it one day." this was not the reply Damon was expecting. Though duke Heistorie and his father were competitors. There was no animosity between both families.
Everyone had supported his face and now they were supporting him because they did not have any choice. They have to bow their head in front of the new power. But no one ever mentioned the past.
He nodded in acceptance but the duke kept staring at him.
"My daughter Amber will marry Prince Elio soon. When the time comes, we will support your marriage with Olivia." he added when Damon did not show any emotion. "You can have that girl without worry, Damon. We are backing you."
".... because you were afraid that she would be a competition for your daughter if she would marry the second prince, duke Heistoire?" Damon raised a brow. His eyes are colder than the dark knight.
The duke had not expected Damon to rub the truth on his face. He laughed softly.
"You are overestimating the girl, Damon. Though she had good skills when it comes to seducing men. She did not have what it takes to be a queen." The voice full of haughtiness felt like a challenge to Damon.
"Suddenly I want Olivia to marry the prince as planned to show you what she is worth, Duke Histoire." he watched as the man;s eyes widened with shock and reveled in it. "But it would not be worth it when she could show you more than that while staying as a duchess." he smirked and under the shocked gaze of the duke, he picked the seal and formal decree before leaving the room.
