Birth mark

<>

The Royal family were all sitting around the large long table at the center of the palace.

Everyone, except Xander.

The king stopped eating to turn to look at their faces.

" Why aren't you all eating?" He asked.

" Xander is not here" Aurora mumbled, resting her face on her cheeks.

" We don't want his usual problems. So let's quietly wait for his return" Erica said.

" It seems you guys want to wait till the end of century before you think sensibly and eat!" He scoffed.

Everyone picked up their spoons to dig in to their food, but Queen Lisa had left her food untouched.

" Aren't you going to eat?" The king asked her.

" Not until my son comes in to join us" She said without giving him a glance and the king shook his head pitifully.

Not less than a minute, Xander broke in.

He halted in his track when he found them all eating.

" Why would you guys eat in my absence?!" He yelled.

Everyone quickly dropped their soon but the king didn't and it grew him more upset.

Xander walked forward and picked up the table cloth, drawing it out and all the plates and drinks clashed and fell messily on to the floor

The royal family stood up in shock and the maids around were bewildered.

" Like I said, there's won't be peace but chaos in this Palace if no one explains to me why I haven't seen the signs of being a crowned Prince!" He thundered.

" You don't even deserve to be the crown Prince or even the heir!" Shaman scoffed and Xander rage hit volume.

He picked the kitchen knife in his fist and Xora's eyes widened instantly.

" Wait!!." Lisa walked forward, holding his wrist. " Please, don't do this!" She begged.

" Stay away, woman!!"

" Please, xander. Please, I beg on behalf of my womb I used to bore you!!" She begged and he made a cut at her right wrist instantly without a single thought.

" Awh!!!" She screamed and fell to the floor.

" F*ck your womb!" He scoffed.

He took the bloody knife and tried to aim it at shaman but he immediately dodged it.

Hani was standing behind him and the knife came towards her instead, luckily it fell on the floor before it could reach her.

She slowly unshielded her hands from her face and Xander realised who she was.

His eyes thinned as he slowly matched towards her like an hungry beast, seeking for revenge.

" So it's you again!" He thundered and Vivian gasped in fear, the spoon in her hand dropping.

Hani immediately picked up the knife that had fell, stretching it with her small chubby hands.

" Don't come close!!" She warned, shaking like a little struggling fish.

Xander throated a chuckle, still moving closer.

" You want to be behave courageous like you always did around me, huh?" He smirked

" I'll stab you if you touch me!. I swear, I'll stab you!" She said sobbing and tears were already leaving her eyes down her cheeks.

" Awwn. You're crying. But I haven't touched you yet, pretty" He smiled and without her notice, He grabbed the knife from her.

He used his other hand to grab her face along with her chin, pulling her up with it.

" I feel like squeezing out the little life left in you, hani. I feel like..." He cut off his words and smiled at her.

" Meet me at my chamber tonight. I'll spear you if you go along with my orders" He said and turned around, leaving them there.

" Wicked Pervert!!." Hani yelled with her tiny voice.

👥 Gasp !!

|/XANDER BEDROOM\|

The door to Xander room got opened and he looked up from his sofa. Instead of seeing hani, Aurora walked in instead.

" Prince xander" She smiled, her hair packed into a bun and beautified with beads.

" Crown Prince.. " He corrected.

" Sorry, crowned prince Xander" She sighed.

" If you are not the answers to my problem, just turn around and take the door quietly" He ordered, pointing towards the door.

" Have you forgotten we use to be paddies and talk more often at night when we were younger?" She smiled and Xander glared at her.

" I forgot we were siblings. Ew" He scoffed and she sat on his bed, facing him.

" Well, I noticed something off lately with Ian. This morning, something actually happened between us and out of anger, he threw me to the floor"

" So?. What were you expecting?. For him to pick a trash?" He asked.

" He threw me without touching me. It was like a force I felt inside my system. I'd wanted to tell father cos I was worried but i decided to ask you first" She said further.

Xander sat up and looked at her.

" And what am I supposed to do about that?. Do I look like a solution to the problem." He spat.

" I swear, it was real. I'm not lying a bit. Ian is the only one who could do such thing. What if he has the mark. What if, there's a story behind why you haven't seen your powers. What if Ian is really the___

" What if you shut your trap and drive to hell!. What are you trying to spit. That because Ian performed spiritism, he's now the crown Prince, huh?." He spat.

" But I'm very serious"

" I don't believe anything you say, and I'll continue to live in that perspective!"

" Fine, I'm leaving. Don't say I didn't tell you!" She said before bragging out angrily.

Xander knotted his fingers as he smirked.

" I'll just keep my finger crossed and watch his every move." He said.

Hani stopped in her track when she met salome coming forward. She quickly turned around and started to take another direction.

" Wait, Hani!" Salome called and hani stopped in her track until she got to her.

" What is it that you want?" Hani spat.

" Look, I'm really sorry. What I did was wrong, very wrong. I know you're very upset, but friends make up for eachother's wrong right?. I apologise on my act"

" And what if the king had punished I and Ian severely, do you think I'd stand here to take your apology!" Hani yelled.

" But I'm sorry, I swear!" She yelled. " Please hani, you're the only friend I have around here, I promise not to act fishy ever again. I promise to remain faithful, I won't do it ever again. I promise" She begged and hani took in a sigh.

" Fine" She scoffed.

" I'm forgiven?" Salome asked with brightened eyes.

" It's okay. I'll pardon you for just this once" She said.

" Awn. Thank you so much!" She said and hugged her, letting hold of her in the next minute.

" Where are you heading to now?" Salome asked.

" I'm going to the palace"

" Oh, I'm going to the farm to finish up my duties so I'll see you later"

" Okay, Bye!" Hani waved.

" Bye" She smiled back and watched her retreating back.

" Such a fool. She's already taken me back as a friend so quickly. It would've been too late when she realise who i am. I'd always deal with whoever choose to mess with my man, xander" She scoffed inwardly before walking away.

NEXT MORNING""

Ian had walked out with the other Knight in order to take his bath and prepare for the day.

Prince xander had come out earlier that day to watch them. He was watching from a distance as he paid attention to Ian.

Ian loosened up the ropes from his forehead and began to untie his robe quickly and his chest came in view.

The Prince saw the birth mark bold on his right chest, and his eyes widened at the view.

" The scar birth mark?" He gasped, his volcano ripples boiling up inside him.

He stared to rage.

" Aurora was right?. But...What????!"
