Chapter 36
Kamilla blinked. Oh, no. That girl was the freaking princess of that Kingdom? Demetrius hadn’t mentioned that part! Damn this was all her fault! She shouldn’t have left Charming by himself.
Damon looked like he’d aged a few hundred years as he sunk into an armchair.
Kamilla looked at Viktor. He was staring at Damon with a very blank look on his face.
“I did… what?!” Viktor demanded. Kamilla resisted the urge to crawl under the bed.
Damon jerked up. “What do you mean? Demetrius told me all about it! You told those two you’d let them get married under you authority and that you’d even bless their damn wedding!”
Kamilla frowned.
Viktor’s mouth opened and closed wordlessly. “I… Damon, I… what?”
“Damon, it’s not Viktor’s fault. So stop giving him a hard time, okay. He’s been through enough!” Kamilla said with narrowed eyes. She understood that this was a shit show, but it wasn’t Viktor’s fault!
The man she was defending turned to her with narrowed eyes. “What do you know about this?”
Kamilla blinked. “Huh?”
“I had no hand in this disaster, Kamilla. If this was your doing, I suggest you come clean right now!”
Wait. Was he accusing her right now? After she defended him?!
Kamilla huffed and crossed her arms. “I… no! I mean, it was you, but… it wasn’t you! I didn’t…” She sighed and bit her bottom lip in frustration.
Damn, this was hard to explain.
Damon took a step forward. “Kamilla.”
She looked at him and he raised his brows for an explanation.
Kamilla pursed her lips. “Damon. It wasn’t… Viktor,” she said, trying to convey the secret message. Her heart eased when Damon’s face lit up with realization. Then he cursed.
“Fuck. How do we fix this?
“What the hell is going on here?” Viktor demanded. He turned to Kamilla. “Why did you give permission for such
an insane thing? Do you know what you’ve done?!”
Kamilla’s jaw dropped open. “I…” Trailing off, she silently shook her head. “You don’t understand. You were asleep

Chapter 36
“And you couldn’t wake me?!” Viktor demanded with narrowed eyes. Did you do it on purpose? To fuck me over?”
Kamilla froze, staring at him with an open mouth. Was he serious right now?
“Viktor stop,” said Damon. “Before you say something you can’t take back.” He looked at Kamilla with apologetic eyes but she ignored him. Lowering her dark glare to the floor.
Great. Charming makes a mess and she has to take the blame.
“Make arrangements, Damon,” said Viktor, his sharp gaze on Kamilla. “We’re going to Cassius.”
With that, he threw off the covers as he got out of bed and stalked out of the room.
Kamilla’s glare followed him till he left. The moment he was gone, she grabbed her shoe from the foot of the bed and flung it at the empty doorway.
“That jerk!”
Damon hurried over to her. “Damn, I am so sorry-”
“Like hell! You know very well that I didn’t give the King’s word on that damn marriage! Charming did it, why should I take the blame?!”
Damon held out his palms in a placating manner. “Calm down, Kamilla. Think about this. This might be our only chance to avoid a war. Also, if Viktor thinks you did it, he won’t find out about Charming.”
Kamilla shoved her thumb and forefinger before Damon’s face. “I am this close! This close to telling him everything. All he has to do is talk to me like that one more goddamn time-”
“Damon!” Demetrius appeared at the door. He looked at Kamilla and did a little nervous bow. “Good morning, Kamilla. Uh, Damon… the elders are here.”
Damon tensed. “Shit.”
“Yeah. They’re pissed and they’re looking for an explanation as to why Cassius is declaring war.”
