Chapter 91
Kamilla’s hand slowly wrapped around Charming’s and squeezed. She bit the inside of her cheek as she stared up at Rogan, praying to all things holy that he wouldn’t notice anything strange about Viktor,
Charming held her hand tightly and Kamilla glanced up at him. The constriction around her heart eased when she saw the dark frown that drew his brows together, his mouth curled with derision in an expression so damn identical to Viktor, Kamilla wouldn’t have known the difference if she hadn’t know it was Charming.

His gaze didn’t waver from Rogan’s as Charming played his role to perfection. “Get her out of my sight,” he said darkly to Rogan.
Kamilla looked at Rogan and saw his eyes darken, hardening with something far scarier than mere hatred.
“Of course, my King,” he muttered in response. Rogan lowered his arm and took Rena’s hand in his. He glanced down at her. “Come, Rena.”
With a final glare at who he thought was Viktor, Rogan turned and led Rena away from them, taking her out of the large boutique.
Once they were gone, Kamilla went weak with relief and collapsed against Charming, dabbing at her forehead. “Geez, that was so close!” she whispered.
Charming nodded as he helped her upright. “Yeah. That fellow looked ready to cut me to pieces.”
“That’s exactly what he wants to do…” Kamilla tip–toed over to the end of the tall rack to make sure they were gone. She sighed as she looked out at the empty store. She turned back to Charming. “Thank goodness you took off those ridiculous props before Rogan arrived. There’s no way he’d believe that Viktor would ever put that ridiculous yellow hat on his precious royal head.”
“Viktor?! There you are!” Sasha came bouncing out of nowhere and Kamilla looked at her with narrowed eyes. Sasha smiled at them. “Shall we leave? I’ve got everything I needed.”
Kamilla’s jaw clenched and she took one step forward before Charming’s hand clamped down on her shoulder and held her
back.
“Kamilla and I will make our own way home,” he told Sasha before turning to look at Kamilla with eyes of unhidden lust. “We need to attend to something… urgent.”
Sasha’s smile turned into a mask of horror and Kamilla just barely managed to hide her smirk.
She glanced at Charming and wiggled her brows. “Shall we?”
With a nod, Charming took her hand and led her away from a fuming Sasha.
“You did what?!” yelled Damon so loud, Kamilla thought the shelves in Viktor’s library would collapse. “Are you two crazy?!”
“You need not worry so much, my good man,” said Charming as he sat upright, brushing at the collar of his suit. He looked up at Damon with a smile as he loomed over the two of them. “Kamilla and I are amazing actors. Like, who…? Ah, Oscar.

What a good chap.”
Damon scoffed so hard his whole body shook and Kamilla miserably failed to hold back her laughter at what Charming was saying. When Damon’s sharp gaze moved from Charming to her she quickly slapped a hand over her mouth. Damon closed his eyes tight and clutched at his hair with both hands.
“What is wrong with you two?! This isn’t a joke! If Rogan had even slightly suspected anything, Viktor would have…”
Damon trailed off, his voice trembling with a mix of anger and panic. Kamilla lowered her gaze, feeling guilty for making
Damon so upset.
She pushed up the long sleeve of her jumper to reveal her hand and tugged at Damon’s hand. “Okay, please calm down, Damon.” She glanced at Charming. “We’re sorry we went out without telling you. It was stupid and irresponsible and we will not do it again. Right?”
Charming nodded. “Yes, absolutely. We have the matter with Viktor at hand, we cannot be creating more problems for ourselves.”
Damon sighed as Kamilla tugged him down to sit. “So… when do you think he could wake up?”
Charming pursed his lips. “I’m not sure at all.”
“But he will wake up, right?” Damon asked, resting his chin against his fist.
Charming nodded. “Yes. He has to. I think once he’s back, you can fight Rogan. With the help of that sad enchantress. Poor thing.”
Damon blinked. “What? What sad enchantress?”
Kamilla nodded and raised a hand. “I’ll explain. We actually encountered Rena before Rogan appeared. She’s the reason he was there in the first place.”
Damon’s expression went from confused, to shocked, to disbelieving to euphoric at various points of Kamilla’s explanation.
“Well, if it’s true…” he stated, standing to pace excitedly. “If it’s really true, Viktor has gained himself a very po One who’s betraying Rogan, no less!”
