April left her siblings to their home before going to laurent's mansion. They wanted to come but she refused, she didn't want that laurent sees them especially Prisca.
She arrived at the mansion. She told to the two guards to wait for her in front of the gate.
Strangely no one stops her from entering not even the guards nor the butler , usually they will refuse that she should enter and asked so many questions but today it was different.
She climbed some stairs before entering inside the mansion, the big door was widely opened. She stop in the entering of the mansion when she heard someone speaking.
"I was waiting for you"
She turned where the voice came from. The voice came from the right, a door was opened, she could see that it was a living-room a personal living room. She walked there, entered.
The living room was big and extravagant , with beautiful chandeliers , two sofas and 4 couches , at the right was a big wooden beautiful cupboard with many books inside but what attracted more April's attention was the head of a dead bear on the wall of the chemine and two others dead head of elephants. It was an horror for her to see dead animals on the wall of a house , her that love animals.
"You have wasted time. I thought that you will come earlier" he added
She looked at the man who was sitting on a couche sipping tea.
"I have learned that you had been kidnapped ?" He asked.
"How have you learned it? " she asked back
"I'm aware of all in this kingdom " he replied
{ Nobody from the exterior was supposed to know it } she thought .
"Stop trying to have a conversation with me , we are not friends " she said
"You know why I'm here" she added.
The man smirked. He stood up.
"Guard!" He called.
One guard came.
"Yes my lord" he bowed
"Bring this young girl to her father" he said.
The guards stood up and April followed with him.
.
.
.
After some minutes, she was back .
Her father seemed well. They talked about basic things and as usual tears would appear. She told to her father that he would soon be out from this dirty cage , it's a question of time. She kissed the hands of her father then went.
.
.
.
"You can see that I'm treating your father as a prince" he said sarcastically .
April stayed silent.
She directed herself to the exit followed by laurent.
"I can't wait for you to be my wife" he said to provoke April.
"You will really wait for that" she said sternly without looking at him.
"You are left with less than a month dear. TIC TAC , TIC TAC " he said with a smile.
"Tsssss"
She arrived at the gate , she was to the point to climbed in the carriage when he called her.
"April" he called
She turned displeased.
"What?" She replied displeased
He approached the young girl bend at the level of her ear.
"It was a pleasure " he smirked.
She finally climbed into the carriage and then went.

April was sitting in her room reading a book 'the hand of miracle'.
When a maid knocked the door and told to April that Edward was calling for her.
As usual she would knocked 3 times before entering.
Inside, she saw food on the table . Her eyes immediately brighten up . She sat on the chair waiting for Edward who was in the bathroom.
He finally came out. He came out with a white towel wrapped on his hips leaving his torso.
April looked again at those tattoos .
{ So many tattoos on a body. Seeing someone with so many tattoos in this century is very rare. I'm certain that all these have a signification } she thought.
He sat on the opposite chair too. They both started eating, April eating like a gorilla with no education.
"I will not eat with a fork or knife, it waste too much time" She said
"Do as it pleased you" he said with a neutral voice.
The man wasn't eating. He was fixing April as if he was trying to read her thoughts. The young girl noticed it and asked
"Is there any problem?"
"Why are you asking?"
"You're not eating and you are fixing me" she replied.
He smiled, a fake smile. His dimples could be seen.
"There's no problem" he said
"What have you made during the journey ?" He asked.
"Well, nothing interesting as usual. After leaving my siblings I came back directly here" she replied
"Sure? , you went nowhere else?" He added.
She looked away.
"Yes , nowhere else" she said.
Edward knew that she was lying. Her heartbeat increased and the basic, every time she lied she always looked away.
"Well, eat and go sleep" he smiled
"Okay" she smiled back.

This morning April woke up with headache, she had a nightmare. Someone was following her trying to kill her, she couldn't see the face of the person.
Anabis opened the windows for sunlight to enters.
"Good morning your highness "
"Good morning Anabis " she said with a small voice stretching herself
"How was your night?" she asked
She hold her head. Frowning a little bit
"Bad. But it doesn't matter and yours ? " she asked
"Well your highness " she smiled .
April smiled back too.
Anabis was preparing a bath for her highness when she asked a question.
"Anabis have you ever seen a symbol of a snake biting his tail somewhere?" She asked
"Uhmmm" She was thinking.
She came out of the bathroom rubbing her hands on her uniform.
"Yes your highness " she added.
"Where?!" She said spontaneously , jumping from her bed.
"On prince Ronan arm " she replied
"Huh? "
April was surprised.
"He like to walk in the castle half naked and he would always be scolded by his wife" she said amused .
"It's the only tattoo that you saw on him?"
"No. He also has a head of a wolf on the top of his back and an eagle on his torso" Anabis said.
{ The same tattoos on two people I can understand but not the same tattoos on 3 people }
She walked to the bathroom. Removed her night dress.
{ Even if there are brothers, I don't think Edward and Alec would like to have the same tattoos }
She entered in the bathtub.
{ If prince Ronan , prince Alec And prince Edward have exactly the same tattoos it means that the rest of the brothers have it too}
{ I have to know the signification of all those tattoos.}
