Chapter 101
The entire ballroom was abuzz as the ball went well into the night. Kamilla leaned more of her weight onto Charming as her heels started to win the battle against her desire to look smoking hot.
“Yeah, I’m done with these shoes,” she murmured.
“You look beautiful though,” Charming murmured back, his volde sounding dazed.
Kamilla glanced at him with a pout. “Yeah, but, I don’t prefer swollen feet over looking beautiful.” She tilted her head at him. “Are you alright?”
Charming looked blankly at her. “Where’s Damon? When can we go home?”
Kamilla felt a tug at her heart and tightened her grip on his arm. “I’m so sorry, you must be tired. We’ll leave in a little while promise. Once I see Damon and give him the signal, we’re out of here.” She nudged his arm. “You’re the King, no one’s going to ask you why you’re leaving.”
Charming didn’t respond, only turned his gaze back to the floor
Kamilla was about to ask him again if he was alright when two pairs of feet came to a stop before them.
She looked up and felt her heart thump at the surprise. “Rogan,” she said before turning her gaze to the woman on his arm. “And Rena.” Kamilla tilted her head. “Are you allowed to be here?”
Rena’s eyes were pleading with Kamilla even as she lowered her gaze.
Rogan’s gaze was fixated only on Charming. “Th
for the King to decide, is it not?” he said mildly.
Kamilla bit the inside of her cheek as she waited for Charming to respond. When he didn’t, Kamilla glanced up at him and\ was stunned to see his gaze saddened and lowered to the ground.
Turning her frightened eyes to Rogan, she discreetly nudged Charming’s arm. What was he doing?! Rogan was standing right in front of them. There was no way Viktor would ever lower his gaze from Rogan’s, much less look so unbearably sad in front of him!
Kamilla’s heart took off in a gallop faster than Hunter’s as Rogan inclined his head to look at Charming’s downcast face. “Is there something wrong with the King?” he questioned, his voice void of any concern, but filled to the brim with suspicion and curiosity.
“Nothing at all!” Kamilla said quickly, nudging Charming again. “He’s perfectly alright. Right, my King?” she asked, glancing up at Charming with a plea in her eyes.
Rogan’s mouth curved in a wicked smile and with his eyes still on Charming, he leaned over toward Rena. “Now,” he said
to her.
Rena’s frightened gaze lifted and locked on Kamilla’s.
Kamilla frowned. “Now what? What have you got planned?”

Rogan’s jaw clenched. “Now Renal Look closely. What do you see in him? Is this person the King of Onyx?”
Kamilla’s heart nearly exploded with panic, but just as she stepped forward to do something, anything to take their attention away from Charming, his grip tightened on her hand and he jerked her back to his side,
“Kamilla gasped and looked back at Charming as he slowly lifted his head. Kamilla watched in shock as his gaze zeroed in
on Rogan and darkened.
“Who the hell are you expecting me to be… if not the King of Chyx?”
The question was so dark and so threatening and so Viktor that Kamilla could do nothing more than gape at him like a fish out of water.
Every muscle in his face, the look in every inch of his eye, the slightest curve of his lips was so Viktor.
She couldn’t believe it. Kamilla bit her bottom lip when it trembled.
How dare he? How dare he wake up after an entire week?
