"You have both of their approvals?" Lilith asked with a surprised expression on her face.
Damien looked into his mother's eyes and smiled. "I know that Ariel also feels the same way about me. And as for the Prince, I had expressed my wish to marry Ariel. He didn't kick me in the gut or tried to keep me away from Ariel. So, I assumed that he was okay if I pursued Ariel."
Lilith laughed all of a sudden while patting Damien's head. "That's my boy," she praised him. She leaned down and kissed Damien on his forehead. She looked into his beautiful grey eyes and said, "I am happy for you, my son."
Damien was happy to see that beautiful smile on his mother's face. He was, however, surprised at how readily she approved of his feelings for Ariel. "So, you aren't going to ask me anything regarding how I fell for her or why or something like that?"
