Chapter 317

I can feel how angry Blondie is.

"Where's my elder? is he in his room?", Reddy asked.

His words to someone who doesn't know him I caring, but his tone is far from caring.

It's more like he's asking about his elder for asking sake and not because he's truly in need of him.

"He was with the king when I left" elder Okwuonu answered.

He's with father?

As things kept unfolding, my hunch about something really going on between the to became stronger to the extent I can't take it anymore without knowing exactly what it is.

Are they just friends, or is there something romantically deeper between them? 

"Why couldn't you have stayed with them, why did you leave?", Blondie raised a brow at the elder.

"I was worried about you my prince, that's why I couldn't stay there for long", he answers.

"Worried about me?", you should have been more worried about yourself than I.

If am not safe with the prince, neither are you safe with the king. You should save yourself first before trying to do the same for me".

"You know the way back to your rooms right? ", I ask my mates.

" Why? are you going somewhere? ", Reddy raised a brow.

I nod, " I need to ask my Father something, am afraid it's too Important for me to keep delaying it".

" Is this another ploy of your kingdom? leave us all here and call on people to so away with us, that way you will swear innocent to touching our blood", he sneered at me.

" Compared to our elders, you're just a child", I glare at him, " why will your thoughts alone be filled with things like betrayal and ambush? ", I walk closer to him, " who's to say you're not the one planning an ambush on us? ".

" Prince Buchim, please don't be angry with him. He's old, and that fact alone is making him act and do things only seven years old does. Please don't take his words serious".

Blondie's use of my name and title made me look up at him in surprise.

Never have I heard him refer to me as any other thing but Blacky.

Noisy flesh eater

Reddy scoffs.

"Why are you always apologizing to them my prince?", the elder looked at Blondie in disapproval, " we're the more superior one among us, they should apologize to us and not the other way round", he looks as proud as a peacock.

Reddy smiles.

"Elder Okwuonu, you can go back to your room since it's obvious you don't know the limit to your welcome", Blondie glares at the elder, "I will appreciate it if you don't repeat what you did today again.

Don't forget we're guests here, and they're the hosts. Of what profit will it be if you anger out hosts? don't forget this is a friendly meeting".

" My prince.......", he starts but Blondie cut him off.

" I don't want to hear anymore words from you", he points to the door, " you can see yourself out".
