You are so careless

In the morning of the banquet, the palace workers were running about to perfect the preparations.

Isaiah was well guarded and wasn't allowed to even set a step outside the huge room.

For some mysterious unknown reason the number of guards guarding him seemed to have raised.

Around the late morning hours, Lily came to visit Isaiah which the king probably didn't know about as he wasn't there with the boy.

Isaiah heard the sound of someone arguing so he opened the door.

The guards didn't dare chase away the spoiled neice of their scary king. They could only let her do what she wanted.

The king wouldn't get angry at his niece was what they assumed.

The girl barged in and paused as she stared in bewilderment at what she saw.

The young boy was covered with marks which appear after making love.

Knowing where her gaze lingered, Isaiah felt self conscious and covered himself with the half torn cloth.

With teary eyes, Lily reluctantly approached the boy,"Is it uncle's doing?.. do you love him?"

Isaiah was in a dilemma, he didn't want to hurt Lily even though he knew that he has already done that.

She would get hurt with either reply so to make things less painful for Lily, Isaiah rigidly nodded.

With tearful eyes she ran away leaving the room back to its original silent state.

Two maids came inside the room and handed over a robe made of highest quality silky with minute and delicate designs on it.

It was stunning.

A Maid with chestnut hair said,"His Majesty told us to inform the humble guest to get ready for the banquet as it will start soon"

Isaiah nodded in acknowledgment.

The maid then placed a mini cup with transparent sticky sap.

Isaiah recognised the thing in the cup and blushed after it striked him why the maid placed it on the table, indirectly urging him to use it.

The chestnut hair colour maid turned on her heels as the other maid followed.

After a long bath, the boy wore the robe which was sent by Dexter. It was very soft and comfortable to wear.

His eyes landed on the cup. It's the sap secreted from a low level magical plant which hides scars and the like.

As to why it was handed to him.. Isaiah knew after just a single glance on his thighs and other visible body parts of his.

Dexter read the message written in the crumbled paper many times over and over.

The content was vague, he knew someone sent it to Isaiah which means that there is a hidden spy in the palace.

With a flick of the fingers, Dexter can make everyone who worked for Isaiah disappear forever but the king wanted to know who the mastermind was.

With that view, he just increased the number of guards around the boy to protect Isaiah.

Dexter came to the conclusion that the pink haired boy is planning something and the king only found it intriguing.

He was really curious as to what "job" in the note referred to and made him wonder if the boy is being threatened.

'If you are planning something behind my back you should at least be careful, just how simple and careless are you baby?' Dexter dryly chuckled.
