CHAPTER SIX

"Welcome to our room...now the left side is the boys side while the right is ours, aunty Scarlet asked us to clean ours", said the cute Faith while prince Jordan looked around the room without beaming.

"How can people especially children live here?" He wondered.

But Scarlet came in interrupting his thoughts.

"And what is a stranger doing inside here?"

She asked the twins.

"Your boyfriend is lending a hand", they said as they ran to one of the windows with their duster and parker.

    "He is not m..."

But they were already far away doing their chores. He looked at her.

"Why are the rooms so insalubrious?" He asked.

"Because our compelling king doesn't want to look after this children talk more of the rooms or buildings, all he does is send toys to the children every Christmas while his children lives lavishly abroad...ow how i hate those royal brats", she spat while Jordan only nodded his head feeling a little guilty before the kids called on him to come help, which he didn't hesitate to do.

As he drew near the kids he decided to pull off his shirts so it won't get dirty, before taking the duster from Faith.

Scarlet couldn't take her eyes off his muscular body, those perfect abs and godly built muscles, he looked up and saw her looking making her to immediately look away, he only chuckled leaving a blush on her cheeks.

About 20(twenty) minutes of helping the children, prince Jordans phone vibrated in his pocket making him to stop and pick out the phone.

     "Ow shit....am late!!"

He said dropping the duster and running towards the door picking his shirt.

    "What's the rush!!?" Scarlet asked immediately he ran past her, making him to turn but he was still running.

"I...i...my boss just called i've an emergency at my work place....bye", he waved and turned. He got to were the car was parked, Flipp swiftly reversed and he entered.

                "Step on it."

And he drove off, prince Jordan altered into his royal clothing.

        Immediately the car drove into the castle compound, Flipp stopped at his normal position and prince Jordan alighted from the car but before he could enter the palace, the doors opened reveling the king, queen and the two princesses, making prince Jordan to stop, breathing out, on sighting the rince the king exclaimed,

"You are finally back i was about sending my men to come find you....how was the conference?"

"You know the normal talks, politics and all that."

     "Am glad you are gradually embracing your duties my son", said the king with a little gratified smile on his lips.

"You must be famished....the royal chef prepared an appetizing meal go to the dinning room and eat", said the queen.

"Thank you mother and i must say you and  Kimberly look quite alluring this afternoon", complemented prince Jordan leaving a blush on their cheeks while princess Lynette rolled her eyes annoyingly.

"If i may be excused", he said bowing and walked past them but his elder sister said,

"Why is your royal clothing rumpled?, and is that dust and a little spider web on your hair?"

But Prince Jordan hastened his footsteps saying, "Am famished sister, i don't have strength to play argue argue with you."

And he entered inside making the guards to close the door behind him.

Princess Lynette looked at her parents.

"I know what i saw mother there is cobwebs o....."

"A good leader doesn't bicker over inconsequential matters, do you understand?" The king asked.

       "Yes father."

"You have the quality of being a peerless leader and i know one day you will lead this outstanding kingdom the way a great leader would, now let's go", said the king making princess Lynette to smile sweetly.

          Prince Jordan entered the dinning room and the servants brought his food, he was indeed very famished, he couldn't stop smiling.

"For the first time in my life i successfully coned the king ha ha ha", he whispered to himself with a gratified smile.

"I can't believe he thought i went to that boring conference today."

Then he remembered those children and their rooms.

"I bet they would be delighted if i got them new mattresses and mattress covers", he said picking out his phone and made a brief phone call before dropping it on the table, just looking up he saw lady Morgan coming.

"Here we go again", he soliloquiesd, lady Morgan beamed.

   "May i join you my lord?"

He looked at her before looking down to his meal.

"Should i just ignore her and leave?, no i can't do that am so hungry."

He thought inwardly before saying,

       "If you so wish to."

And she delightfully sat down, the servants dished out food for her.

"Ow my.....that's enough i don't want to become overweight."

Making the servant to stop, bowed before leaving. She took her cutleries and dogged in.

"Eemmm this is quite scrumptious", she complement but he didn't say a word, he was only concentrating on his food but she didn't give up, she said, "I bet you remember how you feed me w..."

"That was before, before you did what you did."

"Am sorry Jordan, i really am so sorry."

      "Am not buying your lies anymore."

"Please Jordan am serious, i've changed i've really really changed...i regret everything."

                "Of course you should."

"Please forgive me i haven't been myself ever since....i was so stupid and selfish, please."

    "Here we go again, Morgan playing the victim again....shedding crocodile tears again....trying to deceive Jordan again but what she doesn't know is that Jordan has changed completely, Morgan stay clear of me or i will move you", threatened the prince a little irritated, lady Morgan dropped her cutleries and stood up.

"Please excuse me my lord." 

"Of course you're quite excused infact you're always excused from my presence."

And with teary eyes she bowed before running out of the dinning room.

"Wuss!" He cursed as he continued eating but was interrupted by princess Lynette.

"Jordan!!"
