“ …You can have some fun if you want but that’s as far as it goes . Remember , you are already engaged to someone else . “ said Daria .

“ ……Someone , I don’t know . “ said Damon .

Daria knew how much her brother hated the idea of a spell choosing the person he would have to spend the rest of his life with but she couldn’t let him pick anyone else either cause marrying the person the ritual chose would break the spell that kept their parents asleep .

“ Daria , don’t you dare touch her . “ said Damon with a scary look on his face .

An icy look that she hadn’t seen in a long time , that made her shiver despite her being a powerful vampire .

“ ….Then , don’t do anything that will make me . “ said Daria .

“ Daria ! “ said Damon .

“ I am not going to let anything that may put my parents awakening in danger . I have been waiting for so long for this ceremony to happen and for you to find your bride so that this damn curse can wake our parents . I won’t let your monetary interest screw things over for me . “ said Daria with a serious tone as she left the file on his desk .

As she held the door handle she looked at her brother again .

“ As I said , you can have your fun but that’s all there is to it . “ said Daria .

She closed the door and left Damon alone in his thoughts .

‘ It means I shouldn’t waste any minute there is to this .  ‘ thought Damon with a smirk , sitting back on his seat .

Meanwhile Daphne and Lion headed back inside where they saw Ana staring at her research in panic mode . Lion sighed as he knew how to deal with her in these type of situations and stepped in bravely , making Daphne laugh a little at their funny reactions .

“ How can this family have so much datas ?! “ said Ana panicked .

She looked at Daphne sitting and staring at her without working .

“ Seeing you not working when there’s actually work to be done is very weird . “ said Ana not used to the sight of Daphne just standing and doing nothing as she was a well known workaholic .

“ I finished my paper and file this afternoon . “ said Daphne .

Ana stared at her speechless with her jaw falling down . Both Lion and Daphne couldn’t keep themselves from laughing .

“ Don’t worry ! I will help you finish them . “ said Lion patting her shoulder .

“ Daphne , will you help me too ? “ asked Ana with a cute expression .

She saw the three thick books at her left and laughed a little .

“ Sure , I will . “ said Daphne with a smile .

Ana looked at the two of them relieved that they both would help her .  With their help she would be able to finish at least two of those three thick books filled with data but her plan was ruined by the professor .

“ Daphne , you have finished your assignments . Well done ! Now you can go and complete the duke’s request . “ said the professor .

“ But , I was going to…. “ said Daphne but he stopped her .

“ I overheard you guys .  I will give Ana more time to finish her assignment . Plus , our other broil ant student said that he would help her.  I don’t partially allow this but since you three are good friends , I am making an exception . “ said the professor with a smile as he took Daphne away from them in a hurry .

Lion and Ana looked at the professor’s behaviour dumbfounded .

“ I have never seen him so tolerant in the four years that we have studied under him . He even consented for you to help me without saying anything about it . “ said Ana amazed .

“ He must really want that position . “ said Lion .

“ Maybe he will treat us better for the remaining two years we have . Who knows , he might even allow us to graduate early . “ said Ana with a devilish smirk .

“ Pfft ! Indeed . Now , let’s get back to work . “ said Lion as he sat down and the two started their work .

After their left the library , the professor brought Daphne to the duke’s office . The guards standing on guard , opened the door for them , showing that they had been waiting for their arrival . When they opened the door , both the professor and Daphne were stunned at the sight of the golden Lion statues in his office and their red ruby eyes . The luxurious chandelier and the rich library with books that were one of a kind in the world and were only printed once .

“ I was waiting for you . “ said Damon .

“ Your highness ! “ said both Daphne and the professor respectfully .

Damon looked at Daphne slightly annoyed .

“ Did you enjoy your chocolate soufflé ? Oh , and , was the flower to your liking ? “ said Damon with a smile and a sarcastic tone .

Daphne looked at him confused wondering how he knew .

“ It was delicious . “ answered Daphne without much thought making him even more annoyed .

“ Is that so ?  Then , it  must mean you have the energy to get to work now that you have filled your stomach . Read all these books . You are dismissed now . “ said Damon leaving Daphne shocked at the mountain of books prepared .

Daria looked at Daphne annoyed and confused .

‘ Her sweet scent means she is either special and holds noble blood or is a pure human with a very sweet type of blood that is born only once every five hundred years . It must surely be the later . ‘ thought Daria to herself .

As she was walking through the corridor , she tripped and the mountain of books she was holding in her hands all fell on the ground along with Daphne . Daria looked at her dumbfounded .

‘ How can someone trip on a flat floor ?…. ‘ thought Daria looking at her dumbfounded .
