Hello! I'm sorry for this loooong wait! I know you guys asked me to be fast and I truly appreciate that so here it is, but I've been abroad so it has been hard for me :s

Our kiss took a long while between tongues and desperate ways to feel more, but we couldn't, I couldn't, not until... And then something flashed on my mind. I wasn't really doing this for my father or my brother, I was doing this for me, I was doing this because I love him, I realized I do love him, and if I heartily desire to be his queen, it is for one and only reason. I love him.

"Wait my king, I-" I was cut by another kiss, this time a lot more gentle than it was before. His hands were cupping my face ever so gently and I could feel a mix of warm and cold in his lips. I grabbed his hands with mine and broke our kiss to stare at him for a while, before going back to reality.

"I cannot do this, not until you and Katherine are divorced. I do not want to be the second choice." He frowned and took his hands away from mine. He turned his back on me he placed a hand for support on the tree behind us, staring at it.

"You are not the second choice. In fact I wish I just could have met you my whole life, but you see, the church and all these problems I-" I interrupted him, he did not need to say anything.

"You are the king of England Damon, there is nothing you cannot do, they can't control you, this church think they have it all figured out, we owe to you as much respect, but what do we exactly owe to them? Nothing, for I have my faith in my lord, I do not need the church to make me believe in hope, hope for us, for us to be together." I put a hand on his back gently, caressing the fabric, of his royal cover. He then turns around to face me.

"You are right lady Elena, but I DEMAND YOU TO RESPECT THE CHURCH FOR IT'S MY SECOND HOME, do not talk about it again." It was so bitter, so loud so vengeful that a tear swept away from my face, as I quickly caressed it away, as I watched him walk passing away from me. I looked for support on the tree. Why did he had to be like this?

"So?" John faced me blankly. I waited for his response and shut my eyes to prevent myself from lashing out.

"Your majesty, the pope said he couldn't give you the permission to this divorce you claimed, his words not mine."

I looked away for a second. "Did he say why?" I looked again to him.

"No your majesty." My hands were now on the table, and I smirked.

"Did the words completely escape you?" He stared at me, and has I waited for an answer that wouldn't come, I demanded him to leave.

"Yes your majesty." After a while the door opened again for one of my guards.

"Your majesty, Queen Katherine wants to have a word with you, she has come with her two ladies." I thought about it for a second, two ladies huh? Could it be one of them Elena?

"Which ones?" I got up from my chair, and stood there.

"Lady Meredith and lady Elena." I smirked again, and gestured for him to let them in.

Katherine came first, smiling at me though I only stared at her, along with the two ladies that came behind, vowing to me. I could feel Elena's eyes upon me in a different way, she looked disappointed. I looked at her and she just looked away.

"Katherine, come here." I ordered her to sit on my lap, as I moved to my chair. After all Elena wouldn't mind would she? I smirked at her. "What is it darling?" She smiled at me, and then looked at Elena. Elena stood there attentively.

"I, well I wish you could let me go to your bed tonight." I smirked at her, and kissed her there. She responded feverishly. I could feel Elena looking away.

"Is it all?" She took it as a yes, and left with both of them. I ran after the two ladies who were behind Katherine and took Elena's arm in my hand pushing her to a corner.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She looked at me, those eyes didn't feel the same as yesterday.

"What is wrong?" I asked her, as if I didn't knew what I done yesterday, I just hope she would forgive me without begging her.

"What is wrong? What you mean? You were really obvious about what you feel for me yesterday, and kissing Katherine in front of me? Sorry your majesty, I'm not a whore." I now realize I should have not done that.

"I, I'm sorry please forgive me my lady, I meant what I said tomorrow, that I still chose you." She looked a bit relaxed now.

"Well you still promised Katherine to sleep with her tonight, it won't change anything." I smirked at her.

"Now, now Elena, I love your jealousy." She made her serious face and I quickly became serious as well." Elena do you honestly believe I'll do something with her tonight other than sleep?"

"Still it does not make me feel better." She left me there looking at her as she left, Elena even looked behind but continued walking away from me.

"Didn't expect to see you already here, Katherine." I looked at her in my bed as I came in to the room holding a glass of wine while she stared at my unbuttoned shirt.

"I wished to make a surprise." She giggled while I rolled my eyes and placed the glass on the table in front of the bed.

"Yes well, do I feel like I want any surprises tonight?" I said it bitterly not even bothering her reaction, I was too drunk and too mad to handle Katherine's wishes .

"Damon you said I could come to your bed tonight, I just thought-" I glanced at her and moved forward to the bed.

"You thought incorrectly, my wish is to sleep." I got inside the sheets and turned my back on her. I could hear her lay on the bed trying to put an arm around my waist as I quickly shoved it away.

Elena's POV

"You are not making it easy on us Elena." My dad kept his finger pointed out to me while I looked away. I mean couldn't he understand that those reasons are not reasons anymore? Not to me at least.

"Father, I will not take my word or much less show I am anywhere to be weak, I was fairly determinate to marry king Damon as and only if he divorced Katherine, it is not my fault that the pope and all of these people do not agree with that." My father glanced at me and started to move around the room in slow paces.

"What if we found a way to consider Katherine and king Damon's marriage null?" I got up from the bed and placed my hands on my hips furrowing my eyebrows.

"How could that be father?"

"Last time I had a talk with the king he asked me to find a way to stain somehow Katherine's name, what if I could easily find a way to prove their marriage was null because, perhaps Katherine's marriage with Klaus Salvatore, Damon's brother wasn't consider null therefore so it is Katherine and Damon's." He smiled wickedly, his idea was for sure pretty impressive, I could never get to that point but I remember hearing from the court that indeed Katherine and Klaus never got on terms to the divorce, of course she will deny but I find it just the perfect reason to break their marriage.

I smiled at my father and he quickly came to me taking my hands in his.

"I can assure you, in a few days you will be the queen of England and you will deliver the king a son, so awaited."

"There is nothing more I wish." I gripped his hands firmly to assure him how confident I was.

Damons POV

I woke up early today. I had to figure out how to "destroy" mine and Katherine's marriage besides I couldn't stand any longer in that bed along with her. I do respect Katherine more than anything and everyone in the court does respect her as well which I consider to be a problem. They would not accept another queen, other than Katherine for sure much less Elena who does not find any point in church which for our people is the most important thing. I had to make Elena understand how catholic church was important to me and to people around the court.

I found myself thoughtful, drawing patterns on an old book when the door once again as many times this week opens.

"Sir John, what do I owe you the pleasure to visit me?" I smirked at him standing now to greet him.

"I bring good news my king." I smiled at him and headed to my sit.

"Please sit." He followed back with some papers that he placed on the table. I gestured him to start talking and so he did.

"Yesterday I remembered something that can be totally crucial to your kings marriage with Katherine of Pierce. " King Damon raised an eyebrow and gestured with his finger so he could continue, caressing his chin. "You see, I've been informed that Katherine once was married to king Klaus of France your beloved brother, and I also was informed that they never indeed divorced, making your marriage null, and with this new information I figured we could use it in our benefits and open the popes eyes." John smiled wickedly and Damon smiled back.

"Oh dear friend I see we've established a very important part in our relationship and I guess I could promote you to be one of my personal guides, I wish this new information to be sent to the pope urgently, I will leave It to you in charge."

what can I say katherine's days of queen are ending ^^ hope you did enjoy I'll try to be fast :D
