Threat

"The prince, don't you think that maybe there's something fishy going on here?"

Leen begun asking Raya as they were in the kitchen, she sat on the table as Raya was sitting on her chair next to Leen, Raya rolled her eyes as son as she heard that question

"what's fishy Leen?"

"Do you really think that the prince really took the girl to his room on his own?"

"And why are you asking that?"

"What if the girl was trying to escape and the prince held her, maybe.... she ...."

"So you're saying that the prince lied about taking her to his room?"

"That's not what I meant I promise!!"

"Then what did you meant Leen?"

"I don't even know what I meant but my mind...."

"Leen, sometimes you gotta stop listening to that brain of yours or else, it might get you killed one day, do you have any idea what would have happened if the prince's guards heard you? you'll be executed for good! "

Leen held her throat and said to her

" God why do I talk to much?!! "

"so maybe you should keep that trap of yours shut before you bluet out anything stupid again"

while they were talking, Alex came and said

"ladies!!!!!"

the two girls quickly stood and bow to him

"the prince wants you to go and take the trays in his room... don't be late, he's very punctual"

" Yes sir!!"

they answered, Alex turned and wanted to leave, but before he left. he turned and told them

"And please stop gossiping all the time, it's very rude to talk about his highness and his personal life with the girl"

then he turned back and left.

Raya gave a sharp eye at Leen, as Leen felt quite embarrassed to what happened and then, they also head to his highness's room.

in Reine's room. they were done eating.

they sat straight on their chairs as they faced each other.

"so you mean that I can do whatever I want?"

" only when your with me and that is if we are alone"

" As if only you and I? "

" Correct"

lunar looked at Reine, was he serious right now, why is he acting so polite to me, what the heck does he want?! is he acting nice to me just so that I'd give in? no, I'll never do that, I'll never give in tht easily. this.... this prince, will never trap me in his lies, he'll never get me, never

lunar said to herself as she looked at him with no emotion in her eyes. but Reine sigh and told her

"Am not seducing you Lunar, not are these my plans to get you agree to go to bed with me, so please stop thinking whatever you're thinking in that little brain of yours"

lunar was in shock, how did he come to know about what she was busy thinking in her little head, did she perhaps said it outloud, lunar thought as she couldn't believe that the prince answered her bad thoughts about him and even corrected them

"I wasn't planning anything your highness"

Reine smiled as he faced down and told her

"maybe"

then, they heard a knock. Reine stood from the chair, he moved from it and stood beside it

the two girls came in.

"Your highness"

"Just take them, and please escort her back to her room, we've talked more than enough for one night"

he said as he looked at her with a smile and then, he turned and head to his bathroom.

lunar was still surprised by the prince's act. but she stood and left with the two girls.

Reine took off his clothes and entered the bathtub. the hot water touched his body and felt it's warmth. then he laid there as he recalled what happened this evening when he was heading back to his chambers...

"Your highness!!"

Reine turned, to his surprise, it was lord Henry. lord Henry went to him and bow to him. then he raised his head and told him

"my lord, why are you here ?"

"This is his majesty's castle, who is my brother, so I think I can be here as well"

Reine looked at him with a bloody stare and then he turned as he wanted to leave, but the Lord stopped him on his way

"your highness, may I please talk to you about something?"

" Does it concern what happened yesterday? "His majesty, what he did was unfair, he knew I'd never win against you at the auction, and that's why he commanded a second auction"

" I'll take my leave then "

" they say blood is thicker than water, but I guess in this case, power is thicker than blood"

Reine looked at him. Henry raised her eyes and looked at him

" you might have taken her from my clutches, but that doesn't mean that am giving up on her "

Reine took a step closer to him

" what do you mean?"

"I still desire her, u still desire her beauty, her lips and her beautiful scarred body "

Reine clenched his fist as he heard him. saying such trap to him. the Lord saw it, he told him as he smiled

" now now your highness, there's no need to be so angry right? I mean you only bought the girl yesterday, so how can you be so possessive over her already? "

the Lord chuckled

" Come. to the point "

the Lord raised his head and told him

" the point is, I desire her your highness, and I'll do anything to have her in my clutches once again"

Reine's anger crossed all the boundaries now, he held the lord's neck as he wanted to strangle him to death, his icy eyes were sharp. as they stared at him, and now lord Henry was in fear, but he never allowed his fear to be seen by this little kid Infront of him.

" Touch her and I'll break your Bones"

"I will your.... highness ....... and..... I'll... make sure.... you'll.... be aware.... of it"
