She stared at the drunk prince,
"How on earth did she find herself in this dilemma?" ,she thought inwardly. She was feeling very uncomfortable at their closeness, "What in heaven's name was he looking for in my room at this time of the night?!!", She thought, stamping her left foot in frustration.
"My prince, I think you've to rest, you're a little drunk", she said, facing her head down
"Are you ordering me?!"he roared, sounding angry, even in his drunk state, there was still a tint of disgust in his voice.
"No, My Prince", she replied. She felt his breath on her cheek and looked up immediately. Her heartbeat became faster, "What have I done to deserve such ill luck?", she lamented.
"What will people say, that she's a desperate maiden, she threw herself on the prince on her first night??!!! No, that's scandalous" , she thought alarmed and lifted her head to face him, "I've got to do something", she said within her.
"I'm sorry my prince", she said and kicked him in his groin as hard as she could, and quickly turned around to lock the door.
A rip sound was heard in the silent room. Angel was on her bed breathing heavily, her night gown was gone, ripped into unrecognizable pieces laying on the floor of her room.
The prince laughed inwardly at her silly attempt, almost like he felt nothing, in his attempt to grab the girl, he caught her dress instead of her arm, and flung her on the bed, causing the light fabric to tear.
He got on top of her immediately and laughed, pinning her hands above her head.
"What were you trying to do little pink?", he said, staring at her with a grin across his face. Angel stared back at him, she was exhausted already, tears started to surface, as she felt the prince's lips on her neck.
The next morning, the king woke up on the good side of his bed. For some unknown reasons, he felt really uneasy, but he waved it off. He got up from the bed and had his bath.
"Breakfast is ready, your highness", the butler said bowing
"I'll eat later", came the king's reply as he got up and left the room. He walked to the throne room as the servants bowed at the sight of him. He entered the throne room and sat on the throne, earning bows from the court men and women who had been waiting for him. It was about ten o'clock, in the morning.
"Greetings milord", they all chorused, and sat.
"Your majesty", a woman called, holding a map and laying it on the table, "There have been recent killings, around this area",she paused, pointing to three part of the map, which were already marked by red ink, "it happened in these three villages, more than hundreds has been killed, and it was recently reported that some citizens were missing", she looked up and stared at the king, "We caught one of their men, he's currently in the dungeon, and he refuses to speak or say anything about it"
"The person plotting this killings is sending a message to the Royal family", the king said
"Why do you say so my King, no one related to the Royal family has been killed", the woman said
"If I do your job for you, what will be your use?", He replied calmly, the woman took her seat in silence and stared at the map seriously.
"A spy was caught today", another person said this time a man, he represented some paperwork to the king, "those are letters he has been writing to the person that sent him, they're keeping log of everything that goes on in the palace", the man said
"Meaning there's a spy among us", the King said, staring at the letters,
"Some unknown faces were spotted in Bonlake", the skinny man with glasses resting on his nose, it was none other than courtman samuel. "According to the report,they don't seem to be human, they've qualities of people of icylake kingdom", he said.
The king stared hard, wondering what the people of Icy Lake were looking for in this part of the land. He harbored strong hatred for them.
"Keep watch on them", he said coldly.
