Appointed By Her

" Good Morning, Your Highness!" Emily bowed her head to both of them and I mimicked her action by bowing my head. His voice and words are still swirling in my head making me clench my teeth in annoyance. I haven't raised my head and looked at them yet.

" Hmmm, Did my dress complete?" She asked with a firm voice.

" Yes, Your highness! I just need to do the last touches and it will be ready." Emily answered.

" Okay, I hope it is good and fits me. I don't want any problems tomorrow so by the end of the day get the dress here I will try it." She ordered, her voice feels so annoying to my ears. Her every word comes out so arrogantly. They both are the same and they both deserve each other. It's been a short time since I am in this place but I can easily read people and it didn't take any genius to read these people.

" Yes, Your highness!" I am already bored by this meeting and why does she want me here if she is talking about her dress and I am not the seamstress? I have a lot of work back in the garden and I need to collect the things I need to make the products.

" And you!" She suddenly called out making me jump in fear. I was so lost in my thoughts that I don't know that she was calling me.

"Y…Yes, Your highness!" My eyes were glued to her chin not wanting to offend the queen. My body was trying so hard to make me see him whose eyes are burning holes in me but the stubbornness in me is not making me look at him.

I don't want to give him the satisfaction that he affects me.

" I have heard that you make beauty products and all with natural resources. Is that true?" The word here travels faster than anything.

" Yes, Your Highness," I answered.

" Great then I want you to make something for my skin so I can glow tomorrow and get it by the evening and put it on my face and you have to do my makeup tomorrow." She ordered in one breath and I held my breath till she completes her sentence.

Wow, I don't even want to be in the same place as her, and she wants me to get her ready for her big day tomorrow! My life can be better than this! I groaned internally at my luck.

" Darling! Are you sure about that? If you want I can get a professional for you." His words were full of mocking and sarcasm. What does he think he is? Does he think I am not good at what I do? I am going to show him how good I can be.

" I can do that, Your highness." I gave a small smile and met her eyes for a fraction of a second before bowing my head.

" It's okay Quen baby! I am bored of the same professions and I want to try something new." I cringed at her baby voice but didn't dare to show it on my face.

" Okay, Baby! Do as you wish!" From the chair scraping, I think he stood up from it. I heard the noise of lips smacking and scrunched my nose in disgust.

" I am going to go, I have a lot of things to do." He said, and I heard footsteps nearing me. My heart started beating faster and my breathing picked up its pace making me take a big gulp of air. I don't know what is happening to me, why are my body and heart behaving like this.

My nose was hit by the familiar scent which made my knees weak, the scent of forest and rain but his scent is mixed with a sweet smell making me gag. Both their scents are mixed which made my heart clench in pain.

He is nothing to me! I don't care how he smells and I defiantly don't care if he is nearing me. I started repeating these mantras in my head trying to distract myself from the nerves which are going to get me in trouble.

My body was engulfed by the warmth and the scent making me sigh in bliss. I don't have any control over my body right now. He is inches away from me and I am behaving like a dog in heat.

I closed my eyes to block out everything and just ignore his presence. He doesn't deserve even to look at him. My head was down the entire time he stood there burning holes in my head but I didn't budge, why does he want me to look at him when he clearly ordered me to stay away from him and not look at him again and ever?

My body and heart are aching for him and these all feelings and emotions are confusing me and making me angry. I don't know what is happening when it comes to this demon king who is by the way so beautiful that it hurts to look at him.

I don't want to seem weak in front of him by looking at him like a lost puppy. I don't want to give him something which he can use against me. I don't want to be vulnerable in front of him.


Quentin's Pov:

I was standing like a fool looking at her to look at me even for a second but she is standing there looking so beautiful and innocent stubbornly fighting against her body and heart.

Seeing her standing there makes me want to do things I was suppressing for a long time, She is bringing the dark in me and I am loving it.

As I promised I am going to get her to my bed and make her my mistress even if I have to fight against everyone.

I am going to enjoy playing with her and I want to see her break in front of me and I will enjoy every second of it.

With that thought, I pushed past her making sure that my body touched her and I don't care if Veronica or the other ones noticed that. I hear a gasp from her once my body touches her and a big satisfying smirk forms on my lips. I know that as much as she is affecting me, I am also having an effect on her and that will be going to be my weapon to break her resolve.

Life was so boring and routine for the past centuries but for the first time I have got a muse which is going to be hella a lot of entertainment for me.
