It was unlike him not to pay the temple a visit at least twice in one week.She approached him with a angry look on her face and before she could even say the words she had planned to say, Keith gave her his reply.“Do you realise….”“As long as you keep your end of the bargain. I don't get to see them get married. You get me into the palace and out without coming across them..” Ellinor was shocked, she wasn't expecting him to take this offer! She had expected him to say no and then turn against him..“You are going to go with me? Why? I thought you said you wouldn't? Why did you change your mind?” “I never said I wouldn't, I said I need time to think about it. Didn't you hear me?” Ellinor was glad that he had a change of heart but she really wanted to know what his plan was now.The last thing she wanted was for him to hit her with a surpris

Ellinor was drunk out of her mind! It was so hard to help her to navigate her way around the palace without her stumbling forward.Tge more Keith try to help her stand straight on her feet, the more she pushed him away, screaming at him to stop touching her!“Do you really think it's in my intention to help you out? I'm trying to make sure you don't end up falling into a ditch here! I don't know where you kept the drawing but we need it when we get to the mansion!” Keith reminded.“Is that really all you care about? The drawing the drawing is safe! That's all you need to know!” She said at the top of her voice.She could barely walk straight on her own.

Hana was somewhat worried, she had no idea what was going on.Why on earth did Keith show up uninvited? It was almost like he had this in plan..She could barely sit straight, shaking in fear and wondering what on earth he was up to now.She couldn't shake the feeling that he was there for a reason and that she was most likely his target.He could have picked any day to come and visit her! Any bloody day in the week but he chose the day she was to introduce herself as a Crown Prince’s fiance?! Something was definitely up!Even though he had a mask over his face, she could tell that it was him without a second glance.Maybe she needs to inform her mother about this. Maybe they really need to find what exactly was going through his head.She doesn't think her mother will take anything she say seriously.When she told Rebecca that she was worried about getting married to the prince, she didn't take any of her words seriously..She must have thought thatHana was being paranoid for absolu

“Did I hear you correctly? Someone tried to kill my son?! How could you let this happen?!” Amanda snapped.Danfus just one job, one job! Which was to keep the prince safe but here he was telling her that someone tried to kill her son!“I didnt know that something like this would happen, my queen.”“Tell me you caught the bastard who try to do this! Tell me that he is behind bars so I can end his life myself!”Danfus knew that he could only offer more bad news so he decided not to answer.“My apologies, my queen. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself again.” “You couldn't catch him. Someone tried to kill my son and you couldn't even catch the person?!” I was afraid that the person wasn't alone and if I leave the prince by himself they might try to attack him while I'm not there, I should have gone with reinforcement. I am really sorry, my queen.” This is utterly unbelievable. Why would anyone want to kill my son? Why would anyone want him dead? “We are searching for e

If there was one thing that Keoth was sure of, it would be the fact that he wouldn't be able to face Ellinor anytime soon!After he dropped her off at the mansion, he wasn't sure what route led to the Jade temple anymore!It was like he's entire sense of reasoning had shutdown and no matter how much he tries to put himself together, it felt too difficult!He lost count of the number of times he had made a turn down the woods, trying to find his way to the Jade temple again.He was a perfect definition of a confused man, barely knowing his way around anymore.He had least expected for that kiss with Ellinor to happen! And the fact that it felt so familiar made him even feel worse..How could he forget the woman he had kissed at the party the other night?

Edward was furious. He just woke up and he found out that Danfus had been relieved of his duties..He had thought that Danfus decided to go on vacation without telling him but when he learned that this was nothing but the handy work of his mother, he was even more upset!Why did she think she had the right to tell his staff when and when to work?! Why would she relieve Danfus of his duties without informing him first?!Edward got ready, took his bath and head straight to his mother's room.She had better have a good explanation about what the meaning of all this rubbish was! Unless he wasn't going to take things lightly with her! Even though he agreed with Amanda a few days back concerning the fact that she has to remain the Regent, he had not agreed that she dismissed his staff!The moment he had a robe over his shoulders, Edward walked out of the room, heading straight for his mother's quarters.Without even waiting for the Maids to announce his presence, Edward barged into his m

This is a huge responsibility! I don't think that I am…” “You are very vast in politics. You are kind hearted, I have tested you a thousand times in the past few months, and you have not failed one. You are just the right person for that seat..” Kelvin was visually surprised and a little bit doubtful..“I heard that the court wanted you to become king. Your father was King. It is only reasonable for you to ascend as one too..” Keith smiled. There's somethin

“Your highness you can't make such drastic decisions! The King has just been laid to rest and we need the two Princes to complete the events! Then we can ordain our new king..” Amanda was sitting on the throne, facing the court members after hours had passed.Arthur was laid in his room and his funeral will be happening the next day. She didn't waste any more time to get things started.“I understand your fears but prince Keith is nowhere to be found. The guards have searched everywhere for him but no one can find him. He seem to have dropped from the surface of the earth. We can't and I repeat we can't leave the throne empty. We need to do what is right and needful at this minute.” “What are you suggesting that we do then? We just have to keep looking for the Prince and hope that he returns one day.” A member of the court replied.“How long do we hope to wait? Eternity? The young man has just lost his father. A man he met a few days back. I don't think that he will be in the right f

It is to show everyone that he is truly his father's son. He was also given the gifts bestowed to the royal family hy the Creator.Keith glances at Edward who was more than confident in his own abilities. He had seen what Edward looks like when he isn't full control of himself , he was nothing short of a monster…Keith was worried, chances are that Edward would go out of hand as a result of this so-call display..“The events has been going smoothly and we have come to the very last one. You would have to show everyone that you are truly your father's son and this is as a result of your absence…” “We believe that the two of you have remarkable abilities, you will be forced to put you both in a combat only then can we tell the strongest..” Edward smirks at this, it was almost like he had seen it coming from a million miles away..His exc

Keith stepped out briefly a smile on his face. He felt so alive and radiant with energy..The discussion he had with Ellinor was a beautiful one that yielded results! He had expected that talk to be a direct opposite of what eventually happened! He assured her that she was safe and her that secret was safe with him..Keith decided to walk around that early morning, trying to get as much sunlight soon as possible..‘You didn't win the competition yesterday.”He turned to see Hana, someone he least expected to see at the moment!She seems to be out for the sun as well but a rather disturbed look was on her face..“And why does matter if I win or not?” Keith asked in irritation.He decided to drop the act of playing nice, it was time for her to know that she was in the wrong..“But you seemed happy. Llike you won. am sure that you want to be king as much as Edward wants it too.” She pointed out.Keith tilts his head to the side, wondering where this conversation was going to lead to..H

Keith had a smile on his face, he won this round and his points seems to be looking up really good.The most important thing was the fact that Ellinor told him his family were safe like she promised.Nothing could make him anymore happier than that. To know that his family was safe and sound in the Jade temple.Ellinor was right next to him. She notice the radiant smile on his face, making her wonder if he wanted to go meet his family…“Are you going to stop by and say hello to them? Your mother, Agnes, asked of you and I told that that you were doing fine..”Keith was quiet, he didn't think about going to visit Agnes, neither did he expect her to ask about him.Agnes and Williams are every right to blame Emma's death on him. It was his duty to protect his sister but he failed horribly..To make matters worse, the person who had caused them pain happens to be someone related to him by blood!“As long as they are safe in the temple, I am fine. There's no need for me to go and visit them

Amanda stormed into the room in anger. She couldn't believe the audacity of that boy to speak to her in such a disrespectful manner! How dare he?!She walked into a room and slam the door shut in anger.Only then, was she able to scream out loud her frustrations. Her voice echoed through the walls of the quarters. “How dare he speak to me like that? Who does he think he is? I want him dead! I want him dead by all means necessary!” Amanda shoves a glass of rice wine, trying to suppress her anger somewhere down.Richard walked into the room and bowed his head in courtesy.“My Lord, I just received an information concerning Keith's parents. We found them..” “You found them?” She asked and Richard nodded his head.“Yes, my queen. I was able to find them. What would you like us to do now?” Richard asked.Amanda was excited, smiling. She had no idea where to start but seeing that she had an upper hand, only made her even more excited.“Call me that boy. He is currently celebrating his wi
