Chapter 699
"You must be joking with me," Evelyn passed him an annoyed look, "You ask my help while you also tell me that I will be receiving an invitation about you getting married?"
"I think that is right . You and I know what kind of a man I am, and if you have known me well, you should know that I have made my decision and won't be changing it . I think you should move on from your feelings for me . It has been too long," Damien coaxed her with his voice turning quieter in her ears .
Evelyn finally threw the cigar down, not bothering to stamp on it and letting it burn until it wanted to, "Tell me something . What did you see in her that you have decided to marry her? There were plenty of women who were much better looking when it came to appearance or status that would equal to your position . Out of all of them, why her?" the vampiress didn't stoop so low to add the words 'Why not me' as she was too prideful . She had Damien had shared wonderful moments, at least that is what she and most of them had thought when it came to their moments but it appeared that the pureblooded vampire didn't share the same thoughts about it .
Damien let the silence sink and soak them, "I fell for her the moment I saw her . You are right . There are many better-looking women who have money and status but relationships are not built on them solely, are they? In the beginning, I wasn't sure why I was drawn to her . "
"It makes me wonder if I would have pursued her the same way without life putting us in different conditions . Sometimes you cannot tell why you are in love with the person, on what made you fall in love with and I would like to think it is because it is not one I think I love about her . Not just the smile or her eyes or the way she speaks but because I love everything about her that makes it hard to pick one single thing to be presented on the whys? Do you understand what I mean?" there was a small smile on his lips which turned wide as he said, "She is just she . "
"Lovesick," Evelyn rolled her eyes, not wanting to hear from the man she had affection for boast about another woman .
"I might be," he admitted it to her, "I am too sick in love to notice other women . What you feel for me is not love . You want me because you think I am the best out there, which undoubtedly I am," said the narcissist in him, "If you are lucky, you will find the person you would genuinely want to live with not because he matches your standards or brains but because you truly want to spend your time to be the companion they want . "
Evelyn sighed, already getting bored, "Did you come here to lecture me on my love life?"
"You were the one who asked with a why," Damien's smile then slowly slipped out of his lips where he said, "I meant it, Ev . Don't go after Penelope unless you think God can protect you from my wrath . You are stubborn but I believe you are a good person . I hope to find your assistance in the council . Have a goodnight . "
Back in the court where the council meeting was going on, Evelyn heard the question repeat from Damien's end for everyone to be able to hear it much more clearly on who were the ones who had been assigned to pick the location for the exam to take place .
Evelyn could feel the glare still being directed and she parted her lips to answer the question, "In the group of elder council, we usually rotate the task and the area to be picked on where the exam would be taking place . Last time it was me and some others who had set the tasks," she could feel everyone's eyes on her on where this was going .
"Are you telling you were the one to pick the location as you spoke about rotation in the elder council group?" Damien inquired loud enough for every person in the room to be able to hear it .
"A lot of work goes like that but no . We didn't have a rotation this time . "
��Why not?"
"Some of the elder council members were caught up with sight work . There was an issue in the land of Mythewald," answered Evelyn and she continued, "Councilman Krane, Councilwoman Ava, and Councilman Linguine were the ones in charge . "
