Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 112

112 Chapter 52

"Do you have any siblings Roshan?" Rasmus asked as they took a walk in the castle.

"No," Roshan replied.

"Then you probably don't know how I feel."

"How do you feel?" Roshan asked even though he already knew since he could read his thoughts.

"My sisters are all I have. I have raised them, educated them, protected them, provided for them and in return, they gave me a reason to live. Now, both of them are leaving." He paused.

Rasmus had a difficult time letting go of his sisters.

"I want them to be in good hands. Yes, being a king and ruling over big lands feels good but I would leave it all for my sisters. So if anyone ever hurts them, I'll look for them whatever they hide." He continued.

Roshan nodded.

"Klara is not as tough as she looks. Her toughness is only a shield. She has been through a lot and seen a lot that she shouldn't have seen. She keeps it all inside and hides it with her tough attitude but on the inside, she is a kind soul. Someone who can't sleep in peace if she has done something bad. She even escaped home just to help those she thought she had wronged." He chuckled. " She is very stubborn."

Roshan already knew all this. "She is." He agreed. "She agreed to marry me with one condition."

Rasmus came to a halt. "What is the condition?" _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

"To visit you once every month."

Rasmus was shocked. When a woman left her family she never came back home. That was a disgrace to her husband's family.

"I can't believe it. I'll speak to her." He said.

"No need. I already agreed to her condition."

Now Rasmus seemed even more surprised. "Why?"

"Why not? Who made those stupid rules anyway? If people can make rules they can break them as well and create some new ones more suitable for them. I don't follow rules I don't like." Roshan said.

Rasmus nodded impressed. He was thinking of doing the same thing. He was a king after all so he should abandon rules he didn't like set new ones. Ones that society would slowly accept and changes would take place eventually.

"This is Klara's quarters. Here is the dining room. I'll let you two have dinner alone while I accompany your father. I am sure you want to discuss a few things with each other."

Rasmus motioned for him to go inside. Roshan had to admit that Klara's brother was openminded. He liked that about him. Helping him as a king would not be a bad idea.

Roshan got seated at the table and waited for Klara once Rasmus left. A few servants were setting the table when Klara arrived.

They still had to pretend like they didn't know each other since servants were present and they could spread gossip.

They had already spoken earlier but only for a very short while, and about the one condition, it was all a lie. He knew she would want to meet her brother at least once every month so he lied about it.

"So My Lady. Tell me about yourself. I am very curious." He said picking up a fork and a knife.

"Well as you can see, if you are not blind of course. I am extremely beautiful, charming, smart and…isn't that enough?" She asked straightening her shoulders.

He knew she was playing with him but he could see the servant struggling to keep a straight face at her comments. They probably thought that she was shallow.

Roshan manipulated the servent to forget what they heard, leave and close the door after behind them.

Klara was about to pick a carrot with her fork when the servants suddenly began to move. Why were they leaving? As they left they closed the door to the dining room leaving her locked inside, alone with Roshan.

She turned to him to ask if he manipulated them but he was not sitting on his seat. She looked around wondering where he disappeared when she suddenly felt warm strong hands on her shoulders.

"What did you think of my surprise?" He asked standing behind her.

Klara tried to think straight despite his hands slowly crawling to her neck. "I liked it. But you should have told me. Don't you know how flustered I was?"

"I know. " He said removing the hair away from her neck. Leaning down he pressed his lips to her neck making all the feelings from last night come alive. Suddenly she imagined him scooping her up in his arms and taking her to bed. She abandoned the thought quickly.
