Damon's POV

Walking around the castle trying to find just one person can be a lot harder than you think. I've checked the kitchen, ballroom, throne room, her bedroom, and the sitting room. So I decide to go ask anybody if Caroline has a secret place that she likes to hide in. I finally find somebody that can help me. It just so happens to be the queen that I happen to find.

"Your majesty forgives me, but im trying to find her grace. She seemed upset while we were in the gardens and then ran off. I would just like to make sure she is okay. Is there any chance you know where she could be?"

"Ah yes she usually hides up in the library in the back left corner by the big window. Thank you Damon for making sure she's all right."

"Thank you your majesty" remembering to bow, I start to head over to the library. This castle really is huge. It takes me a while but finally with some helps by some maids, I find the library. Before I enter I knock, I ask myself what im going to do. She was going to pick that prick Nicklaus, but instead he decided to look at that girl Haley instead of the beautify angel that is Caroline. He's a fool to not be mesmerized by her beauty. I repeat the silent promise that I made to myself in the gardens. I will make her happy, but this time I add on to that promise. I promise that I will never hurt her. And with that promise I open the door.

Looking inside I realize that this would be the perfect place to hide. Remembering what her mother told me, I look to the back left corner. And there she was, just like her mother said. She was sitting on the window sail with her legs tucked in, and her head resting on top of her knees. I cautiously make my way over to where she's sitting. I was hoping that she would have raised her head by the time I sat down, but sadly she didn't.

I sat down next to her, waiting for her to look at me. Before I even realized it I reached up to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. But I couldn't stop stroking her hair made me calm down from the nerves that I didn't even know were present. After a while she raised her head and looked me straight in the eyes. Her eyes were red and puffy from what I can only guess is crying. My guessing is confirmed when I see her tear stained cheeks.

"Hello" is all I can manage to say

"Hi, how did you find me? Only a few people know I come here when I don't want to be found."

"I ran into your mum when I was looking for you. She told me this is where you go when your upset." I raise my hand to cup her cheek, wiping off a tear that escaped her beautiful eyes.

"Im sorry for running away like that." She apologised letting more tears fall.

"You don't need to apologise Caroline." I said Lowering my hand down to hold hers. "Caroline will you tell me what happened, I just want to understand" I realise that if im going to make her happy, I need to be able understand what happened. "You don't need to tell me but I would like to know"

The look on her face made me think that she wouldn't tell me, but she takes me by surprise when she starts to tell me her story.

"Well you know what happened in the beginning. I don't know what I felt but, from the moment I saw him at the greeting I was drawn to him. So when the children went off to ballroom I tried to get to know him. But when his eyes landed on that girl Hayley, and to see how his breathing quickened. I didn't know how I felt about him then, but when I saw how he reacted to the sight of her, I could feel my heart breaking." She looked up at me trying to look for any sign of hurt, or disgust. But she couldn't find any, so she continued her story. "So that night when I went to wish my parents goodnight, my mother sat me down to ask me who my choice was, when I told her that my choice was not going to happen. She then told me that she had been in contact with Tyler Lockwood's parents, and that they agreed that it would be a good idea that we should be wed. But you see from the moment I laid eyes on Tyler I was filled with disgust, im not sure if you meet him. I tried to convince my mum that Tyler was not who she thought he was, and that it was a horrible idea. So when I asked her if I could find someone else that was a suitable choice for a king, your name popped into my head and so I choose you."

To know that she was almost forced to marry Tyler Lockwood made me furious. Nobody should be forced to marry somebody they don't like. But I was also honored that she chooses me.

"Caroline I promise that you will never be hurt like that again." I couldn't take it I needed to hold her. Before I could stop myself, I engulf her in my arms. Making sure that she knows that I will always be there for her.
