“What do you mean that my family was attacked and I cannot go home, it will take me less than two hours to reach the palace with a good horse?” Prince Chandler asked.
“The king and the Queen mother specifically instructed me to tell you that you are ordered to remain here and to leave under no circumstances.” The herald said as Chandler's face even went darker than it already was. The herald gulped loudly, never had he seen the prince in this kind of rage.
Then again, never had the palace, the empire symbol of power, being brutally attacked the way it was yesterday night.
“You are to remain here…” The herald started again only for the prince to clear the table of the study he was given in a display of anger.
“I should be home with them.” Chandler stated firmly as the herald shook his head. “I should be home with my family if my younger sister was almost kidnapped. I should be with my father, raging and doing everything in my power to find the bastard wh

She was coming back from the market, following a busy pathway that cuts closer to her home than the main pathway. She was late because she had dallied too much in spending time with Syma, her mother would not be happy with her. She was in so much haste that she was not aware that she was being followed until it was too late.“Hello there Penn.” Dinos said close to Penn's ear as Penn let out a little scream and turned around quickly to see who was behind her.“You scared me.” Penn placed a hand on her beating chest, in a bid to calm herself down.“Why did your father allow you to walk at night?” Dinos barked and Penn narrowed her eyes in anger.“My father doesn’t allow me to do anything, I control everything about myself.” Penn clipped out.“Then why don’t you want to be mine?” Dinos asked as he trailed his hand down her cheek to her neck and down h

How would someone explain the feeling of guilt? Is it that something heavy is crushing your chest? Or you feel uncomfortable in your skin, so much so that you cannot sit still, think about the situation and not feel overwhelmed when you realized what your actions had caused? In Prince Chandler's case it was the second one.‘Were people really given the liberty to rape others because of the law he had passed because the Queen's mother wanted him to?’Chandler paced the length of his room, feeling mightily uncomfortable in his skin. No Penn must have been wrong.The lad was just drunk and saying things. There was no way his edits would have caused those things.After managing to convince himself of those lies, he could finally feel something other than guilt.Rage, hot and blazing. ‘How dare Penn try to blame other actions on him when he did no wrong?’ He needed to talk to Penn, apparently, his weird fascination with the boy le

Penn found Stanley and Rima in the Orchard that was behind the compound. Stanley turned to see who was approaching and when he saw it was Penn his eyes narrowed.“I am sorry?” Penn started uncertainly, unsure of how she would be received, Dinos didn’t have his way with her then but Stanley was helpless in the hands of his captors for more than a day.“You don’t get to throw that incident back in my face. Nobody has the right to, no one! Especially you.” Stanley Stated as Penn cringed and her eyes grew wet. The thought she has been trying to block out for six months slammed into her head with the force of a sledge hammer.‘It was all my fault’“I am sorry.” Penn's voice was full with remorse this time.“What are you sorry about?” Stanley asked. “The fact that you just threw that incident back in my face or the fact that you are responsible for it.”Penn stumbled back at Stanley’s word like he had physically punched him.

Chandler slept horribly that night, he had thought that maybe a night with a lady would remove Penn and his nasty words from his head but it didn’t work that way. He felt even more burdened and he felt like Penn's words were true, he was being superficial and whether he likes it or not, his actions just proved Penn right.”Your highness.” A sleepy voice sounded beside him as a creamy hand appeared on his chest, softly caressing it but Chandler didn’t want to feel even bigger guilt because every action of his since last two nights had just kept stacking the guilt.“Thank you for your time Janise but you are no longer needed.” Chandler mumbled as he got up from the bed and went around getting dressed.“So will I be getting an invitation for later? And my name is Cherise but you were very close my prince.” Cherise looked at the prince with coy eyes.The prince shuddered at the thought of actually being hers. “No Cherise, our liaison e

“What?” Vallas asked, his voice had lost all trace of laughter in it.“Crown Prince Chandler.” Penn repeated.“It can’t be.” Vallas said in confusion. “You hate him.”“I know! I do hate it.” Penn spat out as fire seemed to flare up in her eyes.“Ah.” Vallas relaxed back in his seat.“What?” Penn asked.“You really like him” Vallas corrected.“You just mentioned that I hate him and now I like him, how does any of what you are saying make sense?” Penn rubbed her head which was banging furiously.“You hate him because of the way he can get under your nerves and make you angry with everything he does even when it does not warrant your vexation. You do make it look like you have a feud with him.”“Whose side are you on?” Penn asked with a glare as Vallas smiled.“Your side, always your side, it doesn’t matter what side you are on or if I support what you believe but

Penn's look of astonishment slowly faded and was replaced with anger.“Is this a joke to you?” Penn asked.“No, I…” Chandler startled at Penn attack couldn’t even find words to help defend himself.“You cannot make an absurd offer like that and expect me to take it and all will be well between us. It never works that way.” Penn got into Chandler's face which was hard for her to do because of height difference but she managed to do it standing on her toes and Chandler didn’t comment on it not when he could see the flames of fury in Penn's eyes.What even made him give that offer to someone like Penn, his mind couldn’t even fathom the reason behind it. Was he that lonely for real attention and friendship that he was ready to stake spending a month plus in close contact with someone who hates his guts?“I am not hoping to buy your forgiveness, I was hoping that you will spend some time with me to give you a change of view about

“You are not going, are you?” The Prince sighed when he saw Penn without a load or any possession with her.“No, I am not. What gave you the idea that I will say yes?” Penn rolled her eyes.The prince felt angrier than he had ever been. This annoying little nobody thought he was so special and amazing to have a prince want his company and he had the power to refuse the prince. “Nothing, in fact I am glad that you said no. you complain so much about me when if you are in my shoes, you will not be half as good as I am when it comes to implementing edicts and laws which my people need.”“And pray tell me.” Penn moved close to the prince with mock anticipation on her face. She knew better than to goad him but every time the prince's mouth opens, he manages to make a blunder that makes her want to kill him. He normally did that unknowingly before but she knew that the prince was well aware this time. He was being annoying on purpose. “I would not b

“What were you thinking, saying those words to the Prince? You have officially lost it.” Rima stressed about as Stanley and one other male carried Penn to her room and dropped her on her bed, the person left while Stanley and Rima remained behind.“I am not that heavy for you to drag me that way.” Penn complains, a smile still on her face and her eyes burned with a fire that made Stanley and Rima think if they should start applying restraints on their friend who was looking more like Lord Vallas does during a killing spree.At least lord Vallas had an excuse to have that look in his eyes, they all knew to expect the unexpected from the man but Penn was another scenario. He was the one who normally kept a level head and this Penn was very far from that one.“Oh, stop looking at me like I have gone crazy, I can assure you that I am very much in control of my wits.” Penn adds as Rima and Stanley still looked unc
