The royal family, Halifax

Kurai was surprised to see that Mark brought home the unconscious woman, he wasn't expecting him to hit her. "What the hell, Mark?! I thought I told you to ask her, not knock her out cold and bring her here!" Kurai immediately carried Skylar to his room and laid her on his bed. "I'm sorry, siré. But Miss Ironbound didn't even listen to what I'm saying, and she even tried to slash me with a knife." Mark explained to Kurai although he was feeling sorry for his actions. Since hitting a woman from behind, is indeed unmanly.

"You know what, it's fine. Let it be a chance for her to rest. Tell Daire to help her clean up when she wakes up." Kurai ordered.

"Ughhhh, my head...." Skylar wakes up but she doesn't remember what happened. She opened her eyes to see that she is in some kind of luxury room, and a girl was standing right next to her. "Gahhhh!!!!" Skylar was shocked to see someone beside her and she couldn't control herself to yelped. The girl beside her immediately help her up and proceeded to introduce herself. "Good day to you, Miss Ironbound, I'm Daire. His Highness has ordered me to help you get ready." Skylar is completely dumbfound. "His Highness? I don't know a "His Highness". Are you sure that he got the right person?" Daire was also confused at first, but she quickly tell Skylar about her job. "I'm sorry, Miss Ironbound. But the orders I've received is just to help you." Skylar continue looking at her with confusion, but stood up and walk to the bathroom to get cleaned. But she stopped when she saw Daire is following her. "Ummm.....how am I supposed to clean up if you are going to follow me?" Daire stopped in her tracks, "But...I have to help you?" Skylar blink in surprise, "No, there's no need to. I can do it on my own. But...can you tell me more about 'His Highness'?"

Skylar really didn't know what she had got into. "So you're saying that 'His Highness', is the demon prince, also known as Kurai Halifax? But I thought Kurai was just some rich guy that lives in some kind of mansion." Daire was terrified when she heard Skylar say out his name so casually. "Miss Ironbound, please try not to call His Highness's name so casually in this place, you might get punished." "Oh ok then."

"Are you sure I'm supposed to wear this? It's...too fancy." Skylar wore a white silk dress, her hair braided up with some flower headbands. Daire gawked at her beauty, "You look beautiful, Miss Ironbound. You definitely have to wear it." Skylar blushed from embarrassment. "I....." "She's right, Skylar. Wear the dress, you are beautiful." Kurai's voice suddenly appeared causing Skylar to trip with surprise. Kurai immediately went up to her and caught her before she fell. "Be careful, Skylar. We wouldn't want you getting hurt now, would we?" Skylar blushed so hard that her face was so red. After Kurai notice how close they were, he too, blushed. "My apologies. I didn't mean to." Skylar smiled, "I-Its fine. Wait a minute, why the hell am I in your house?" Skylar suddenly realised that she had been in his house the whole time. "Ohhhhhh, about that....." Kurai laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry about my friend, he may or may not have knock you out cold and brought you here....." "Huh?"

Kurai regain his composure and said, "Why don't we have a talk about this with my mother?"
