Chapter 10

As they came into the courtyard they were greeted by a picture of busy people who run from the one end to the other. But suddenly every movement stopped and everyone was looking at the door that leaded into the Big Hall.

There she was standing, the Irish princess, in all her glory. She was wearing a dark green velvet dress that reached the floor. A silver belt was loosely tied around her hips and her hair was flooding down her shoulders till it reached her waist.

She had her arms crossed in front of her and looked directly into Lex's deep blue eyes. Beside her stood Siobhan dressed similar but her dress had the colour of a dark blue and she looked into Lucas' soulful green eyes.

Chloe saw how Siobhan looked at the man with the dark blond hair who stood beside Sir Luthor. In the instant, as her red-haired friend blushed as the man gave her a soft smile, Chloe knew that Siobhan and this man would be a very happy couple and that knowledge let her mood sunk.

Don't get Chloe wrong she was happy for her friend and knew that Siobhan deserved everything she wished for and if this man was her wish then so be it. But at the same time she felt something other…something like sadness because Chloe knew that she would never have something like that.

She had heard the rumours about Lex dumping every woman after he had slept with them once and she didn't want to become one of them. When he looked at her, with his eyes roaming over her body she got the feeling that he was slowly undressing her with his eyes.

She became hot, wishing for his hands to touch her and for his lips to kiss her when ever she thought of him. But she could never let this happen because if she slept with him once she would be bound to him and if he didn't love her or she him then she would lose all her power and couldn't safe her people.

She also knew that if these rumours were true that he had changed since then because as she looked into his eyes she saw the love and the admiration he felt for her. But she didn't know if this was just for the moment and her body or because he really loved her as a person what couldn't be because they hadn't met before.

Chloe took her time to go down the steps and towards Lex with Siobhan right behind her. His eyes never leaving hers not even as all the people cheered for their princess and soon-to-be-prince.

A soft smile was playing on her lips as she heard how happy all the people were. Then she asked them to go back to work and turned her eyes back to Lex, Lucas and Clark.

"I'm sorry that I'm just now greeting you personally but it is nice to finally meet you."

Clark and Lucas were bowing while Lex just stared at her but then he bowed too.

"It's nice to meet you too. I hope you are feeling better Mylady?"

As Chloe nodded Lex relaxed although he didn't know that he was tense in the first place.

"I'm feeling better Sir Luthor and I'm sorry that I made such a bad first-expression! Siobhan had told me that you all helped to take care of the hurt people. Thank you!"

All three shock their heads as if to say "it was nothing". Chloe laughed and then invited them into the hall.

"We can eat and drink while we get to know each other" she explained and then took Lex outstretched hand and went with him into the said room.
