Chapter 0149 Yes , I replied instantly , a thrill of anticipation sparking through me .
She looked around the room , her voice dropping to a whisper .
I mean it , Ella absolute secrecy .
If this gets out , Ill know it was you .
No one else can know .
Alright , you have my word , I assured her , my heart pounding a little faster , sensing something big .
Elizabeth took a deep breath , then leaned in , her voice barely audible .
Ive been dating Damien Rose , she whispered , her tone carrying both a hint of exhilaration and fear .
My mouth fell open , a shock jolting through me .
Id heard rumors that Damian had been sending Elizabeth flowers and gifts , but I hadnt realized they were actually dating Thats so exciting ! I said , genuinely happy for her .
But why keep it secret ? She let out a small sigh , glancing away .
Because Im the daughter of the king , she said quietly , a hint of sadness In her voice .
If people knew … thered be so much scrutiny .
And if things dont work out , it would be a huge scandal .
I like him , and I love spending time with him , but just want to take things slow .
If weve got people following us , shouting questions , scrutinizing every little thing … She trailed off , and I nodded , understanding completely .
I got enough scrutiny over my relationships , and I was only an Alphas daughter .
For Elizabeth , it would be a hundred times worse .
So , tell me , I asked , trying to lighten the mood .
Whats he like ? Elizabeths face softened , a smile spreading across her lips .
Hes incredible .
Kind , patient … and he plays the guitar .
I nudged her playfully .
Sounds perfect for you .
Im really happy for you .
Ill even forgive you for blowing me off to hang out with your boyfriend .
Oh , youre one to talk , she shot back with a smirk .
Youve been spending all your time with your fiancé .
I shrugged , unable to suppress a smile .
What can I say ? I like being around him .
Elizabeths gaze softened .
You dont have to justify it to me .
When you find someone who makes you feel at home its hard to leave their side .
I hated how right she was .
Thinking of Alexander , I realized how comfortable I always felt around him , Or at least , I did when I wasnt fighting against my attraction to him .
Just the thought of him made me drift into a daze .
Getting lost in thoughts of him already ? Elizabeth teased , snapping me back to the present .
Actually , I said , seizing the opportunity to change the subject , Ive been thinking about getting Alexander a gift .
Hes always buying things for me , and Id like to surprise him with something thoughtful .
I just have no idea what hed like .
Maybe you could help me think of something ? A gift for Alexander Black ? Elizabeth raised her eyebrows thoughtfully .
