Damon

Dahlia smiles at me as she slips her dress back on. I hop on one foot as I pull my pants up, grinning back at her like a fool. I can’t keep the smile off my face.

I’ve been dreaming of that for months now. Dreaming of her.

As much as I thought today would be difficult, and I didn’t really want to celebrate when our whole family is in turmoil, it feels so fucking good to be with Dahlia that I don’t care.

We toss out the tissues that we used to clean ourselves up with, and I wrap my arms around Dahlia’s waist again. Laying a soft kiss on her lips, I sigh. It feels incredible to have her in my arms. I didn’t know if I’d ever feel this again.

We make our way back to the wedding reception, where cocktails are already being served. Charlie sees us walk in, and his eyebrows shoot up a fraction of an inch.

Dahlia squeezes my arm. “I’d better go see Elle,” she says, her cheeks flushing pink again. “I’ll talk to you in a bit.”

“Don’t leave without saying goodbye.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Her eyes sparkle. She smiles at me, and then ducks away.

I make my way over to Charlie, who’s talking to his butler Neville. When I decided to go to medical school, I gave up my own personal butler. I figured if I’m giving up my royal life and living like a regular person, I needed to forego some of the royal privilege—including having staff. I don’t mind, though. When I needed to sneak out of the castle without being noticed, not having a gaggle of employees following me around everywhere makes it a lot easier.

Charlie is glancing at a piece of paper that Neville handed him.

“We haven’t been able to confirm that, sir,” Neville says. He turns to me and gives me a low bow. “Prince Damon.”

“Hey, Neville. What’s this about?”

Charlie lets out a heavy sigh. “We’re working through the evidence that we found on Mom’s murder. So far, we can definitely confirm that Father and his advisor were involved. Aunt Mal, though, is another story. She wasn’t in the country when Mom was murdered.”

“Malerie hated Mom.” I still remember the way my aunt looked at Dahlia, too, and I don’t trust her.

“We were kids. We don’t know that. And plus, even if she didn’t like her, it doesn’t mean she killed her.” Charlie shakes his head, sighing. “Listen, Nev, I can’t deal with this now. It’s my wedding day.”

“Sir, we’ve noticed that Lady Malerie seems to be making preparations to leave. If we don’t act tonight, we may not have another chance to question her.”

“I’ve already accused my father of murder, Nev. I don’t want to arrest her without solid proof. I’ve only been King for two weeks, and I don’t want to start my rule by making unlawful arrests.”

“We can detain her without arresting her.” Neville frowns. Even such a slight facial expression for him is a big deal. I can tell he wants Charlie to keep her in the country.
