Chapter 17

AMY

He suddenly cut his gaze from the butler and looked at me.

“We are not done, young lady!” He said, and I swallowed hard. This time I am not sure why my heart skipped a beat as he spoke.

He has a bad intention, as his gaze was so devilish. No wonder I didn't just like him the moment I saw him.

His looks and everyone else were so disturbing that I couldn't help but think of what he is like.

His presence was giving me nothing but a disturbing ache in my heart. I hated it!

“Mr. Reed, you need to go already!” The butler said, and he finally broke his gaze away from me and walked away without saying anything more.

I don't know why and how he thinks, but I don't like him!

“Are you okay, Miss Amy?” She asked, and I sighed.

“No, I mean yes!” I said, stammering a little bit. I didn't know I was holding my breath for a while until he left the place.

“I will lead you to your room!” She said, and I nodded. Curiosity held my head as I followed her. I wanted to ask her so badly who that man was, but I didn't want to come off as a very curious one.

I slowly followed behind her till we got into the room. She turned around and sighed, looking at my face.

“Miss Amy! I will report this to the king; you have nothing to worry about! Mr. Reed will not disturb you again!” She said, and I nodded.

She turned around to leave, but my thoughts won't let me be! I just wanted to know who he was so badly.

“Who is he?” I asked, and she stopped in her tracks.

“I was waiting for the question, Miss Amy!” She said, and I sighed. I didn't want to come off so strong, but it turned out she was waiting on the question after all.

“Well, that was Mr. Reed, the most annoying of all noble people in this castle. He has been sent off, but I don't know why he came back this time around!” She said,

Her words were like parables, so I didn't understand what she meant. I could only wait for her to say everything she wanted to say in detail.

Well, what can a curious heart like mine do?

“He is the stepson of the former king.” She said it and looked at my face, and it was like I didn't understand the language she just said.

Everything looked so confusing to me, and I wondered what she meant by stepson. Her words were so foreign that I began to wonder if I still had my brain cells.

“So he is practically the stepbrother to the king! Reed is King Charles’ stepbrother.” She said it, and I was shocked.

What!

The so-called brother was this person! The man the king was planning to meet was that arrogant bastard who was full of himself.

No wonder I hated him just looking at him!

Now I can tell why he was agitated knowing I belonged to the king. I bet he is jealous and wants me for himself just to prove to the Alpha that he is more than enough.

What a loser.

What was his mission walking around like he owned the place?

He is just a lost man!

“What!” I exclaimed, and the butler sighed.

“That man!” I added, and she smiled. “I guess the Alpha must have told you about him!” She said, and I nodded.

“So to maintain peace, I will plead with the young miss to stay as far as possible from that man!” The butler advised.

“He is nothing but a psycho, and you won't want to have anything to do with him! Well, you shouldn't!” She added, and I nodded as she spoke.

“He is not a good person. I am not sure of what the Alpha told you, but he is not a good one! Not as a person, not even as a friend!” The butler hammered it into my ears.

“Well, I have heard you, but why was he sent out of the castle?” I asked, and she chuckled.

“He didn't tell you?” She asked, and I nodded as she spoke.

“Ohh, now I don't know if I should tell you!” She replied to me, and I frowned. Of course, she doesn't want to be in a tight spot between me and the Alpha, but at the same time, the Alpha was going to tell me about the man if not for the fact that Danford entered.

Even though I tell the butler that, she won't want to believe or tell me what was going on at all.

I almost gave up before she spoke.

Well, I can't give you the details, but he was sent out according to the traditions. He is not the king but the king's rival, and the king's rival gang stays in the same place with him.” The butler said,

Her words made sense to the lame man, but I didn't want to believe that, as I know that Charles won't just send them out just like that. 

There was more than meets the eye than what she is saying right now!

Well, I guess that is all she can tell me. I will either take it like that or leave it, and what can I do? Take it.

“Thank you for telling me!” I said, and she smiled.

“I am just doing my job, Miss Amy!” She replied and turned to leave.

“Take care, I will send some games and snacks your way!” The butler said before she walked out of the room.

I sighed and walked towards the window, and I could see the vast garden behind the castle. This is the most beautiful view ever. 

I didn't pay attention earlier because I was still strange to the environment, but this! I can't believe my eyes!

This is paradise! No wonder Reed wants to have it to himself! Arrogant and greedy young man!
