Closing the door calmly behind her, she tip toed to the bed in the room and carefully and silently carried the bag on the bed and opened it.
If this young Prince thinks he got senses, then he is severely mistaken.
Just as she reach out for the bag on the bed, her shoe mistakenly stepped on a rope tied to the back of the mirror and immediately it was stepped on, the mirror started glowing.
Diane stare at it with a smirk gradually coming upon her face.
She knew it! That Samuel is a fake!
I don't know how this happened but all I know is that Prince that he calls himself is planning something that he might regret at the later end and he don't even know!
I quickly walk to the side of the bed so that I will be able to see the mirror properly but whatever or whoever shows as the reflection of the mirror won't see me.
"What is it, Samuel?"
What the....
Is... Is that a woman? And why is she this huge?
The figure of a woman with a dark outfit appears on the mirror and I can't help but gawk. Who is she, and how does she know Samuel?
Who is this Prince anyway?
"Samuel?" she calls again but her reply is silence.
"I will teach you to never play pranks on me, ever again!" she yells and the mirror returns to the normal glancing material that it is.
I... I can't believe it... Who is this Prince and this woman?
Sure looks like someone who rules with him.
Is... Does he have the intention of having two wives?
Let me quickly get out of there before anyone notice me.
I quickly tiptoe out of the room and closed the door gently when I step out of it. I rush down the hallway towards my room and stand opposite the door of my room.
This... This... Who is that woman and Wh-What does she have to do with Samuel?
I knew that Prince is a fake! Not a fake Prince but a fake that wants me to be dragged into the mud of irresponsibility!
And men is his face captivating, but at the same time, he is planning something. Something with that woman that I can't quite get.
"Who are you"
"Prince Samuel, your highness"
Who... He heard me!
I turn to my left side to see Samuel beside me.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
Samuel smile awkwardly as he make his way to me.
"I came here to see the hurt Princess that I think I hurt so much"
You idiot. No wonder that woman yelled after not seeing the person that summoned her through that mirror, cause she already know how careless and stupid you are!
"I don't need any apology. Since it's coming from-"
"You know, I hate it when people talk to me the way you do. It gets me infuriated" he says as he take the last step towards me.
We are so close that if I stare directly straight forward, my forehead will surely rest on his chest.
"And the worst part of it all is when the Princess that I love is the person that does it"
Ha! Love my foot!
I raise my foot and step squarely on his.
"Argh!" he tried to massage it and cure the pain.
Poser!
"Love me now, hate me later!" I yell and run into my room, banging the door in his face and locking it up.
Even if I don't lock it, he can't enter. That's the good news.
So... In all the men that are here, Mr Ryan is only person that my heart is at peace with?
He is not a Prince nor King. That's the worst part.
I let out a deep sigh and pounce on my bed. Laying flatly on my back.
Why? Why did you leave us to enjoy with the heavenly father?
Why are you making things hard for me than it is for others? Why are you making me feel hatred from those who I don't know, I know and people that are forcing themselves on me?
Why Mother?
Why?
Ephesus strode to his room with his men behind him. He have been unusually quiet and his head is bowed. Every now and then, he will release a deep breath like he's going for an audition or something, and his eyes aren't stabled on his path.
When they got to door of their room, the footsteps of someone coming from the left hand side makes them to hesitate.
Ephesus got his identity covered.
"Yeah, the food they served are hot and kinda satisfying. How come the... " Miles stops talking when footsteps are heard and in the gloomy hallway, Samuel appeared with a red and hot face, walking to the throne room.
"Your Majesty?" Ephesus call and Samuel turn to face him in anger.
"Your face is kinda rough"
"That... That Princess... Who does she thinks she is?!" Samuel nearly yell or yells because how he said it is more like a shout than a yell.
"She... She... "
"She's pain herself. Sent to me for some kind of agenda! I souldn't be here right now if not for my mother!"
Ephesus squints his eyes a little and look at his men behind him.
What does he mean by his mother?
He turns to Samuel again and listened attentively.
"What... What happened, Your Majesty?"
"My Mother sent me here to marry her so that she'll get more power and... " Samuel sobs.
This is no joke.
He is actually expressing his life experiences because of the act he got from Diane.
And his Mother sent him here to get Diane for more power?
The sudden pain he feels because of the death of his Father is overtaking his spirit, soul and body and his mother's cruelty is making him sick.
He finally lifts his watery eyes to meet the eyes of Ephesus and they all stare at him as his eyes grow with water in them.
"I don't have any intention of marrying that Princess, Ryan. But my mother's is both cruel and caring"
Ephesus eyes widen.
"Sometimes, I feel my answers go unanswered whenever I ask the skies... "
Ephesus squints his eyes a little.
"Why Mother?"
This Prince is just like him.
Back in the dining room, King Luke and his four children are busy cracking the veins of their brains trying to find out what is wrong with Diane.
Her food is still there. She didn't even eat anything.
"I can't help but wonder why she acts this way" King Luke says.
"She have been like this ever since Mum died" Roy say and everyone sadly look at each other.
"She's just like your mother" Luke says with sympathy and Xelilah sighs.
Thaddeus breathes silently seeing the odd and sad scene and turn to face the window widely open in the room.
His eyes catches a sight quite surprising.
But can it be compared to the sight ahead?
