A Wicket Plan 3

Flashback [Fifteen days before kidnaping]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Benjamin paced to and fro in his room, his face held anger and a hint of fear. Ranting a hand through his peppery hair, he took a deep breath and tried not to over think. His eyes fell in the big picture in front of him, The very familiar blue eye that he has hated all his life, stared back at him. Chalking him to do something lethal.

"Sir, his majesty has asked for your presence. He need you to visit him urgenty." Nilson, his adviser opened the down and said after bowing to him.

Benjamin face turned from angry and fear to confusion. He turned toward Bison and asked,"Why so suddenly, is he fine?"

Nilson nodded and said, "He wants to talk something very important with you it seems."

"Tell him that I will be there in an hour." Nilson nodded and bowed slightly before walking away.

Benjamin turned and then slowly walked toward the large window overlooking the garden. He has always got everything he wanted , except the thing that he has desired the most, the throne. The anger that has secretly burning since God know how many eyes was visible in his eyes.

His hand in the glass of water tighten before he turned and throwing it on the picture the hung on the wall. The glass smashed against the picture before falling and breaking down into pieces.

Benjamin walked towards the garden area where apparently his father was planting tree.

Even though they have gardener and all the stuff who would maintain the big garden,bit his father always loved to go and water the plants and take care of it.

If only he could have taken care of him the same way, he though and scoffed. Entering the garden area, which was situated in the east side of Winschest palace, he found his old father telling some stuff and garden to plant new Lilly's as he watered orchids.

"Father." He called him as he walked in two long stride. He bowed and smile at him, but the burn was very much alive in his chest.

"Ah ,my son! You are here? Good, now please help me water these plants." With that, he placed the water pipe in his hand and turned to get another.

Benjamin clenched his jaw and held the pie tightly, looking at it as if it was some filthy thing that he shouldn't have touched.

"Whatbare you waiting for,son? Water these lovely plants." The old smile smile and the wrinkle around his eyes and cheeks became more prominent.

Finding no other option ,he slowly water the plants infront of him. His father is a very cleaver man, he must have some solid and strong reason to call him, he wouldn't just ask for him just to water some stupid plant. He thought as he watered the plants.

"You know, son.? Plants can always listen to what one think. Be it anger, resentment or something else that someone has been hiding for long." Benjamin stilled as he heard his father's word. He gulped and slowly turned to look at the old man.

He was smiling as he watered the flowers in front of him, but the mysterious smile has a story of it own. Benjamin gulped again in nervousness. King Philips turned toward him , his eyes shone mischievously.

"What are you talking about father?"

"I am talking about, how far we have come. From being the king to know in few day–" He left the sentence hanging.

"Father, of you don't mind, why did you called me?" He asked and turned toward the flowers in front of him, not meeting his father's eyes.

"Oh nothing much. Just wanted to tell you that, Leonardo will be visiting us and I want you to be present with your family." Benjamin's jaw clenched as he heard his father.

Giving one curt nod, he bowed. "I will take your leave than." With that he walked way.

"Stop cribbing like a bloody Child, Benjamin! I know what I am doing! Just have some patience." Nicolas said as he sat alone in his study. Phone was pressed in his eyes while his eyes scared the documents in front of him.

"I don't care what your mysterious plan is, but just do something!" Benjamin's voice slowly started to annoy him.

"I will. For now go and do what you father is asking you to!" With that he hang up the call, without even bother to listen to his reply.

Going through every picture, nothing caught his eyes until one video of a girl. She walked like she owned the place as she dragged her trolly basket. A bit and a girl next to her, silently following her. He fast forwarded the video. And the next part shocked him to the core.

The girl tackle one guy and punched him in the face again and again.

"She is the perfect one." The same deep husky voice whispered from the darkness.

"She is not! Absolutely not. She just punched a freaking man, do you think this would be easy? No!"Nicolas rubbed his forehead and skipped the video.

"She is the perfect one, we need a princess of Winschest bloodline. And she has to have feisty nature. And why are you working so much, wave some money in front of her face and she will do everything." The same deep husky voice said , and Nicolas nodded thoughtfully.

"I didn't knew you were so interested in this." Nicolas smirked and turned toward the dark shadow.

"I have not interest in answering your question. But I want to follow her and check on her personally before going with it." He suggest and Nicolas nodded.

"We need a princess just remember that always."

"Just because she punched one guys doesn't mean that she is a fight." The dark voice chuckled.

While Nicolas zoomed her picture and then to the information in the file.
