Chapter 24 - A Trouble

Cough… Cough…

"Erik, what the fuck are you doing?" coughing hard Esma shrieked.

She looked around when she got no reply. Breathing became hard for her in the room that's filled with smoke. Covering her nose with her hat she ran towards the windows and opened the glasses.

Esma's breathing returned to normal after fifteen minutes but that felt like an eternity to her. She was out of breath, wiping sweat from her forehead, she put on the lights.

"Erik, where are you?" Esma called out loud searching for him.

Unable to find him in the whole room, she walked towards the restroom and banged on the bathroom door until Erik opened it.

"Erik, I know you are here. I can smell the smoke. Open the door" Esma yelled banging the door.

After a few minutes, the door was opened ajar. Esma was shocked to see Erik standing naked smoking a joint, looking inside she found a naked woman lying on the washbasin, her face is deeply into the washbasin.

"Erik.. what have you done?" Esma shrieked looking at the naked woman's back.

Esma rushed inside the bathroom and pulled the naked woman back. Leaning her onto the bathtub she threw water onto her face.

"Erik, what shit have you done? How many times should I warn you? How can you do it? Why did you cut her body? Why are you an animal?" Esma yelled trying to wake up the naked girl.

Erik sat on the chair beside the bathroom smoking his joint and losing himself in it.

"Do you even understand the situation outside? The whole family is assembled. Your Brother is here, and so does the family of Princess of Wesley. How can you behave so irresponsible even after I reprimanded you? Who is this woman? How can you be such an animal? What made you pounce on her? " Esma yelled trying to wake up the naked girl lying unconscious having cut all over her body.

"That bitch Hazel is here?" Erik groaned.

"Erik, mind your language. She's going to be the daughter-in-law of this house," Esma warned.

"Oh shut up, that bitch will be mine and I'll show her what I am so will I show my greatest brother who is a real Prince" Erik kicked the table opposite to him resulting in breaking it down.

"Erik, stop it. Stop this madness and stupidity. We have enough problems around us and if your father arrives everything will be done and you will be ousted out of this house" Esma warned.

"Ohh shut up, no one has the right to expel me from the mansion. I am a Prince just like that Victor, a much better contender than him. He will pay the price, that Bitch Hazel will pay the price everyone will pay the price. I will make sure to introduce them what I am for real" Erik groaned.

"First do something. Make a call, she should be immediately treated by doctor or else she couldn't make it back to life" Esma feared.

"So what? She is just a prick, let her die who even wants anything?"Erik shrugged rolling one more joint for himself.

"Asshole, if you continue behaving like this we can achieve nothing. This is the reason that Victor keeps scoring over you. Get your senses right Erik, if you want the throne at least be a human first" Esma chided.

Pushing away Erik, Esma walked to make a call. Dialing a number with trembling fingers she briefed the situation on the call.

"Erik, for heaven's sake put on something and gulp down something that can bring you to senses. The Queen ordered everyone to be at lunch and we barely have time and you are intoxicated here. Get your senses idiot" Esma chided him.

"How does that Bitch Hazel look? Is she happy? Is she smiling?" Erik gritted his teeth.

"For Suck's sake go and open the goddamn door, you have done shit. At least let us do the patchwork," Esma shrieked.

Erik didn't move an inch from the place and leaned back on the chair rolling his joint.

"No one in this universe can ever change you asshole" Esma yelled.

Wrapping a shawl around the naked woman's frame, Esma rushed to open the door.

"What's going on here?" Freddie yelled stepping inside the room.

"His as usual shit" Esma replied worried.

"Doesn't this man ever change? What the hell is that? How can be he so shitty knowing the situations prevailing?" Freddie freaked out.

"That's not we should be worrying right now, did you bring the servants?" Esma quizzed Freddie who is eyeing Erik with disgust.

"Yeah, I did get them. But why did you order me to get them? Did he do something more shitty than ever?" Freddie shrieked.

"No Buddy, I did what I am famous for" Erik slipped on to the couch and inhaled the smoke his joint is releasing.

"Take her with you and sneak out from the back door. Get her done, bury her in someplace away and safe. Zip their family's mouth with money and if they don't listen to the first thing. Let's use our second trait on it. Go" Esma ordered the staff.

"Mam, this is…" the servant trembled.

"If you don't get this shit done; someone will have to deal with both you and her. Go" Esma ordered.

The six members Freddie brought immediately jumped to their respective work. Living in the same mansion they have their benefits working for Erik, though they feared the consequences of getting caught they were more afraid of going against Erik.

"Finally… " Esma sighed with relief when they took the naked woman's body.

"Don't get relieved so early. If anyone catches this before she is buried or her family turns against we are done and one more important news is The Crown is impressed with Victor's new policies. The Queen was very happy about his changed behaviour and now she is eager to announce the next Prince all credits to Hazel" Freddie stared into the eyes of Erik all the time saying that.
