Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 THE ESCAPE (2)

(Rayal palace of Hansonia)

Two maid were attending Alex. He had to get ready for his coming if age which was today. He also had some plans to execute. The maids who were attending the crown prince of Hansonia, couldn't help but marvel at their prince's body. They had blushing face as they helped Alex put in his royal attire.

Alex could feel the maids touch him every now and then, he doubted that it was accidental. The maids intentionally took a lot of time in dressing Alex. They wanted to marvel at his body some more. How they wish they could be his crown princess. Noticing that the maids were taken too long, Alex dismissed them saying he could take it from where they had left of. Reluctantly, the maids exited the prince's room. Alex continued to button his dress, until someone entered his room without knocking. Even though Alex was facing the window, he still knew that it was only John who could enter his room without knocking.

Alex looked at John, who was already suited up and sighed. John came closer to Alrx and started helping him out with his buttons. Some of the buttons were out of Alex's reach ao he had to be aided in closing those ones.

"Why didn't you call for the maids?" John asked.

"I sent them away. They were too touchy."

Johnnjust shook his head when he heard the reason why Alex dismissed the maids.

"How is everything going?" Alex asked. He wanted everything to go as smooth as possible. He was allowing no mishaps in his flawless plan.

"All my men are at their positions, ready for any order given to them."

Alex nodded in satisfaction. If his plan goes well, he would be temporarily free from his imprisonment.

After Alex was done dressing, he and John both headed to the main hall, where his coming of age ceremony was going to be held. On their way, Alex noticed two maids who were staring at him. Being the kind and beloved prince of Hansonia, Alex gave them a charming smile. The maids of course were fluttered, it wasn't every day that they got the chance to receive a smile from their prince.

"Did you see that! The prince smiled at me." said one maid.

"Nonsense. Do you think he would even notice an insect like you when I, a. beauty, is here. He definitely was smiling at me not you." said another.

The maid was furious, does she think she is that pretty. Out of anger, the first made shoved the other maid. "I hope you have learnt your lesson.Next time know better than stealing people's smile"

So just like that Alex had caused an argument between two best friends. Alex continued to walk, oblivious to the fact that his smile just started a fight. When he reached the hall, he saw his father and mother sitting on their thrones. His mother sat on the kings left whiles his throne was on the right side of his father's throne.

Slowly, guest started to arrive one by one. Noblemen and women came with their luxurious carriages that displayed their wealth. After an hour, the hall was already filled with guest.

"Happy birthday your highness." wished Nobleman Luke. He also greeted the king and queen. He and the king spoke about official business for a while before he said,"Please meet my daughter Eva."

A beautiful maiden with long blonde hair was introduced. She had smooth fair skin. Her beauty was enough for men to look at her twice. "Happy birthday my prince" Eva also wished the prince.

"Thank you." Alex said nonchalantly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" Eva again said. She bowed down a bit too low so her cleavage was being exposed. Eva did it intentionally. She wanted the prince to see what she had to offer, but unfortunately, Alex averted his gaze.

"Why don't you take Eva to the royal garden. You two should get to know each other" Proposed the king.

Eva was happy, this was her chance. She would make sure that the prince falls in love with her. She was already imagining how it would feel to sit on those thrones. On the other hand, Alex was unwilling to take Eva out. He had eacaping to do. He looked at his mother, pleasing with her to help him out, but Queen Monica just looked away as if she did not notice her son's desperate call for help. She too wanted Alex to court Eva. The girl looked beautiful, Seemed to be polite and was also the daughter of a nobleman, so what was wrong with Alex marring her.

The unwilling Alex held Eva's hand and led her to the royal garden. The other guests who noticed that the prince was leading Eva outside were happy, but that could not be said for those who had daughters that were suitable of marrying the prince

Alex gestured Eva to sit by him. Outside was unusually cold. That was because Alex was angry. In his way here he saw John. He was expecting John to help him out, but to his dismay, John only winked at him and said the words,'Good luck.'

Eva was delighted. She was sitting with the prince. She couldn't wait to get home so she could tell her friend about her encounter with the prince. Eva could already picture her friend puking blood due to sheer jealousy.

The unlucky fathers felt like crying. Theh had one chance to secure their positions as future royals and they blew it. Nobleman like walked around the place like a boss. He had his chin up high as he looked at his competitors like they were puny insects that did not deserve his time.

Nobleman like:(*^*)

Competitors: (:T_T:)

"Alex you have some important matters to attend to." John said and left. He did not even give a glance to the lady sitting by the prince. Taking that as his que, Alex quickly excuse him self and caught up with John. He glared at John for not coming sooner,"Why didn't you come sooner?" Alex asked.

John shrugged his shoulders before saying," I thought you needed sometime alone."

Following the plan, Alex went to his room and closed all doors and windows. He order the maids not to bother him as he was really exhausted with all the things that went on. Alex went to the window were he was to escape from. He saw a rope that led down. Without using the rope Alex jumped down from the Tall palace. If it was in modern times, the place would have been as tall as a five storey building.

Swiftly landing on his feet, Alex dusted himself. The impact at which he landed caused the air to become dusty.

'Freedom!" internally yeld.
