TAKE CARE OF ME

Alexander felt her new behavior to be the best option to get her out of his head...he because preoccupied with more work... keeping the forces of the kingdom stable and attending different meetings..

"Bring more ink and pen..." He ordered as he began to fill in more work..

"General...Lord Elliot is here..." Sebastian told him

"What's he doing here...? I didn't invite him?" He raised his brows in annoyance

"He actually came to see the princess..." Sebastian replied with a low voice... facing the door

"What...? What does he want with her?" He got more angry as he spoke

"Didn't you heard... she's picking out a suitor. She even has a list" Sebastian gossiped even more thinking of what his master will do about another man being with the princess

After releasing a long sigh...he finally let it out

"Let them be..." Their distance was for the best...any other string would cause an unimaginable problem.

"Besides...the queen sent you delicious cakes..." Sebastian lick his lips while staring at the box of cake

"Dispose of it" he harshly replied without looking at it... Sebastian's hope was dashed out..he took it out and planned to eat it...

"If you die... I'll chop your body and feed it to wild beast" he advised coldly without blinking...he immediately took the cake and threw it away.

*******

Isabella is serious bored to death sitting with Lord Elliot...his personality is okay but meeting with him was not what she expected.

They only talked about politics which she was just starting to learn about...she was so clueless compared to this well knowledge man... and in he eyes he's only oppressing her with his knowledge

"Let's call it a day shall we...!!? It's nice meeting you Lord Elliot" she smiled at him hoping to hide her pale and bored expression

"The pleasure is all mine..." He smiled back and kissed her knuckles.

Seeing his back turned to her and walking towards the palace gate she felt relived...

"Oh heavens...this is pointless. "

Right at dinner...her mother brought up the issue and she swallowed hard..

"He is so boring... I don't like him at all. Besides he is more knowledgeable than I am and it's quite oppressing. " She chewed her shrimp more hardly when she remembered that he said he hates women who read love stories..that they are always delusional..

"What else...? Because you look like you want to blow up..." Her mother mocked her while laughing at her pathetic face

" Mother... it's not fair. He said he hates women who read love stories...that they are delusional " she pouted like a baby

" Really... your book shelves is full of them... and if I remember you ask me to stock more for you " her mother laughed even harder... Alexander only raised his brows more hardly

' This annoying girl do read that erotic nonsense. No wonder she was wild... and she didn't even bother to listen to him to stop reading such books'

"Mother...cut it out..." She cried

"Really...even the latest book on seduction is out.. want to?" She winked at her...

" Come on...cut it out. Get me the book" she replied and Alexander was suprised...' Seduction ' what is she thinking reading something like that...no wonder she wants to be exposed to love making and didn't stop him when they made out

He is indeed a big fool... satisfying his niece's curiosity

" It's not proper for a worthy princess to read such books. How about helping in the court and doing something meaningful? " His words cut her deep

"You refuse to let me help!" She pointed back

" Even if I did... isn't there something else a reasonable princess would do rather than read books on love making, man's body and taste, and seduction. Are you seriously encouraging this your highness?" Like mother like daughter so to say....

"I...I..." She couldn't find the right word to say...she has indeed been reading those books

" How did you know I read all that...?" She accused rather in a childish way

" I was curious to know what a soon to be wife spends her time doing aside form eating and wearing dress..." He sip his wine gently...

"Isabella... you are going too far...no more reading. What if you are eager to lose your dignity to an unknown man because of your irrelevance curiosity....no more books " her mother angrily shouted...

Alexander scoffed.. both of them are the same...the only difference is that he approached her first and she didn't resist. She's a soft petal on his soul and he can't get enough of her but the truth be told..those books are not having a positive impact on her mental and emotional state of health.

"Hummm....Alex... it's not like that. I don't encourage such nonsense. Am as suprised as you. Am only aware of the love stories which I don't see anything bad in it.. please don't get it wrong..." She seems to be trying to redeem herself but he already saw a side of her that won't make him believe her no matter what.

He couldn't take it anymore...he left the dinner table and Isabella watched his back drifting slowly farther away from her.

She clenched her fist tightly...how dare him do this to her....

She stood up and took the other route to cross him and give him a piece of her mind

" How dare you...what were you thinking talking to my mother about my business...what ever I do is non of your concern...? "

" It's my concern... because you are my brother's daughter.. it's my duty to take care of you..." He only pointed out the reasonable options

" Oh really...even in bed as well...?" He immediately covered her mouth with his palm...

" Let me go..."

" You should learn to shut up...." He warned slightly

" Oh so you can be nervous...guess what will happen if my mother finds out" she laughed devilishly

" She'll get angry...but the court will have me marry you and punish you for being so cheap to give yourself to your uncle. It has been the rules and you know I am a strict person of rules " his bomb hit her nerves directly.. when he saw that she went calm he let go of the mouth

" I accepted it's my fault...but I don't want you to make the same mistake outside and get hurt. I already have the guilt inside me already if you get cheated on by men all because you chose to live in a fantasy of love stories... I'll hate myself for not stopping you...

Good night!" He said going inside with a straight and clear face..she only stood there imagining the level of punishment the rules will ask him to give her. She never thought of it and even threatened him in bed when he wanted to restrain himself...

She's indeed cheap....
