Fanning flames

William pov contd.

I moved closer to the girl who was still hesitating. I was sure she had not done much, she was just bragging to get my attention. But if i got a chance to create a feud between the siblings, then it would be a good chance.

It would flare the empress too and she would proceed to her new trick. I was just getting tired of waiting and acting. I have become a wastrel giving her a chance to come and attack me yet all I got was sneak attacks.

I smiled as I held her hand and rubbed circles on her palm. It was taught to me by Lucas, for emergencies.

They all looked at me as if I was a very experienced person. But the fact was I was just trained. I didn't even get a chance to come closer to the woman I love. Love! No, I did not love anyone.

I shook my head in denial.

"What happened to your highness?" she asked me with a worried face.
