Confident kiss

Rowland's point of view
that scene was so beautiful, I just can't take my eyes off the scene, the way everything was displayed right in front of my eyes, it actually made me so overwhelmed with emotions.
I then noticed that Rowland was bringing his face closer to hers, they were almost about to kiss, then a set of troops came to the scene, disrupting thier heartwarming moments.
which made Dianne jolt's in fear , "Richard your presence in needed in the palace" the army chief commanded with a very hoarse tone, it made him alert before he stood up towards him.
" they never Wanted me in the palace, then why are they in need of me right now?" he asked, which him fold his hands , while looking at them with so much authority etched in his voice.
" I'll appreciate if you leave" he demanded, with a hint of anger attached to his voice.
" you can't be serious right, your presence is actually required in the palace your highness" he said, which made me curved my lips to a smile, I never knew that they could actually be this confident in whatever they are doing, especially the way Richard was looking the Poeple, his eyes was bloodshot red, it actually brought cold shivers down my spine .
even from his gaze, it shows that he was angry.
"if you don't come with us, we would be forced to take you forcefully" one of them said, I noticed the way Richard Stared at Dianne, it was clear enough that he wanted to say something, but he knew that the target was not him, But it was most likely her, he then curved his lips to a smile before he left.
the moment he started taking graceful strides to leave, she immediately stopped him from moving an inch, before she held his hand so firmly.
"please don't leave yet, please" she pleaded. The Richard stared at her with so much emotions, he he cupped her cheeks, giving her a soft kiss, not even minding about the people who were present there, it made her took a deep breath, trying as much to feel the passionate moments they were sharing together.
Richard then let go of her, before he went away with them, but before he left, he turned back to say ,"I love you Dianne, and I'll be coming back for you" .
when the troops heard this, they were amazed by his confidence, and the way the cold hearted man was being expensive of his emotions.
when they were going to through the portal, that will lead them out of coven, I can see even from Richards gaze, it was much evident enough that he was in so much pain, I can feel everything radiating from him.
I then turned back to see Dianne, who had engulfed herself in the ocean or tears, allowing the pain to paved it's way to her heart, she felt the intense pain, seeping through her body, which made everything clear enough.
I took a deep breath, while trying to see what she will do, I then noticed that she immediately stood up, before she stared at the water, almost like she was about to jump Inside the water, after sometime, she counted to three, then she closed her eyes, almost about to jump.
but unfortunately for her, her mum came in time, to stop her from doing a suicidal attempt..
"what are you doing honey, were you actually trying to kill yourself?" she said, while fear etched in her voice.
"yes mum, what's the use of being alive, since you can't be the one that your heart yearns for" she cried, it was clear enough that she was in so much pain, she took a deep before she stared at her mother.
"why does it hurt this bad...why" she cried, Mrs Allis stared at her daughter with a clear shock expression.
" did I just heard you correctly?" she asked.
"uh.."
"are you in love with the vampire?" she asked again.
"uhm...I"
"just tell me the truth Dianne, I know you, so tell me the truth ".
" okey...yes, I'm in love him" she blurted, which made Mrs Allis even more shocked.
" how could you fall for the enemy, you knew very well, they will kill us at any given opportunity they have "
"but Richard is not like that, he would do anything to protect us, rather he won't kill us" she said, which made me plaster a smile on my face, it was evident enough that now everything is becoming more clear and vivid.
because the way, Richard was taken away from his family, could it be that this was what turned him into the monster he,I can't really decipher, but what baffled me, was why was Richard showing me all these.
I took a deep breath, that's when I found myself in the palace, I noticed Richard was being taken to the king himself, while keeping his head low, and the king actually sprawled a smirk on his face, it was evident that he was amused.
"why did you leave the palace?"the king asked.
"then why did you want me dead" Richard retorted back with anger evident in his voice.
."you know I shouldn't be here, but I was here, because I don't want anything to happen to that innocent family, so if you don't tell me, why you had brought me here, I'll be really disappointed" he said with so much authority, like the great commander that he is.
" I like your confidence, but I'll like to make things clear enough that you will not be leaving this palace until the war between my kingdom and the Trite kingdom is completed" the king commanded.
I noticed how Richard had a smirk on his face before he Said, " I know how you feel at this moment, but I'll like to tell you something, it's more like an agreement " he said, which made him nod his head.
"yes I'll be ready to go with you, but only on one condition, which is you will have to give me my freedom after I'm done with the war" he said, then the King thought about it for a while before he said.
" I have thought about it, and your wish will be granted, as Long you did not rebel" he said, which made him plaster a smile on his face before he left the king's presence.
he then went to his room, before he released a heavy breath,it was evident enough that the poeple who were present at that moment, was a set of poeple who wanted him dead.
he leaned against the door, while thinking of how he was he was going to achieve his aims, immediately the lingering thought of how they met with her, made him plaster a smile on his face, when he thought of how he tasted her soft lips, it made him subconsciously touched his lips as well.
he found himself getting needy, by just the thought of her, he took a deep breath before he Went to the bed.
the next day, I noticed the way Richard immediately stood up, before he went towards the bathroom to have some shower, when he was done, he went towards the field where training was being held, when he noticed other warriors who were present there, he decided to ask for a challenge.
They started fighting while landing punches on each other, it was evident enough that they were already doing so well in what they are doing, which made him plaster a smirk on his face.
they stopped fighting to catch thier breath, before Richard noticed a young lady came to Richard before he bowed.
"here is some water, to relief you of the stress" she said, which made him plaster a smile on his face, before he collected the water from her.
he immediately gulped the whole content down his throat, it was evident enough that he was finding difficulty is asking her why he had done that for him.
" please you are?"
"Sandra"
"okey Sandra, thanks for the water" he said before he handed her the cup, then he turned back to his fellow man, already in fighting mode.
"so you still want to fight?"he asked, which made nod his head.
"yes...I want that"he continued aiming at him.
then the young man stopped what he was doing before he stared at him with a smile on his face.
"it's like the so called Sandra is into you" he said, which made him plaster a smile.
"even from her gaze, I know that, she can want me as much as she likes, but it'll like she's just wasting her time" he said, which made me come to realize, that Richard have definitely come in terms with everything, and he's ready to go to any extent to bring back the one that he loves.
I can't stop watching the scene that was unfolding right in front of me, everything was just s beautiful.
