Chapter 27 - You are one of them

The corners of those lips only got further lifted.

"Who are you and what do you want to talk about?" he asked already feeling offended that he got dragged into the water most embarrassingly by a red-haired beauty who looked as delicate as a flower.

Forget her snakes did it not for her doing it personally but she trained them and that was still a defeat on his part. He wanted to get out of there at that moment.

"I saw something. I had made up my mind not to talk to you about it but I could not take away the fact that I discovered a huge secret about the prince everyone claims is so powerless," she replied to him as her shoulders slowly lifted out of the water.

When his gaze fell on that slender shoulder with droplets of water making him feel curious to see what it looks like inches and inches below what he saw but she stopped and met his gaze.

He cleared his throat remembering she just said something about him not being powerless. "What do you mean?" he asked her with a frown that he forced his face to look as serious as he could.

"Monsters have been banned from the kingdom. Many were killed others were thrown out of the wall and they would most likely not survive it.

"Were-men suffered the worst fate as all of them were brutally burnt to death in a mass grave. My brother was one of them. That is why I live here with my snakes.

"Among all the troubles and pain, I have come to discover that the prince is a monster. Could this get any crazier? I wonder what the council and the emperor will have to say about that," she narrated thoughtfully.

His frown deepened, this time he did not take note of the upper part of her chest that she exposed as he sensed a threat in her words. His lips pressed together to form a thin line and he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"You are making jokes and I have no intention of listening to it," he told her and began walking to the shallow part of the water body.

"I will let my snakes use their heads. I have no reason to keep living so I would not mind killing you first and dying for a cause," she threatened him dangerously as she moved close to him.

"If you have a problem with the royal family, take it up with them," he blurted angrily.

"You must have forgotten that you are a member of the royal family and I am taking it up with you," she snapped.

"Oh, I must have forgotten because I do not have magic and from what I know, I would not be able to identify with them if I do not have magic," he verified his earlier statement.

"Well, that was what I believed until I saw you today. I knew you were passing by and contemplated giving you a snake bath but I felt it would simply be an act of bullying the weak.

"I found something very funny out today and I decided to kill you as you would be just as ruthless as your father when you are no different from the many who got killed including my brother. You are a monster."

"I think you saw wrong. I have no extra powers. I am as human as you could ever imagine," he told her without turning to face her as he continued forward.

"Are you trying to deceive me or do you believe that you are without powers?" she asked him as she caught his wrist under the water.

The difference between the warmth of her touch and that of her snakes had a huge contrast. "Do you want to kill me?" he asked her as he flung her grip off.

"Yes, I sincerely want to but what if you could bring an end to the death of those like you and help those outside the wall?" she asked him hoping to resonate in her soft clear voice.

Her request for help had him turning. "Those like me? I doubt that but what reward will I get from helping those like your brother?" he asked and could only clench his fist in the water when he regretted his words almost immediately.

"My life?" she mumbled. "But I cannot trust you if you don't believe that you are what you are. Some were-men are unaware of what they are until magic sniffs them out," she informed him seriously now.

"I believe I am purely human and that will not change because of your claims and threats," he said and continued out of the water.

"No! You are not human," she hissed as her wrist caught his wrist again. "I saw you in the pool. I saw you transform in the pool. You are neither a shapeshifter nor anything I have ever seen and I will love to know more about what you are because I have never heard about it before."

He laughed at the inconsistency of her words. He stopped and turned to face her as his eyes glanced away from her bosom completely exposed to him in its fullness.

"You are very confused. One second you want me dead and the next, you want to know more about me?" he asked with his eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What do you want? Are you looking for a way to get close to me?"

He was hoping she backs off as he expected most of the women in this world to be reserved and very shy as he had taken note from the dozens of women, he had made contact with since he got to this world.

She was taken aback and blushed slightly but that was it as she got closer to him exposing more as her body left the water showing more with every step she took.

Now it was his turn to be taken aback. "I will do anything I can to prove to you that you are not what you think you are because, at this point, it seems you strongly believe you are a simple human.

"I heard about how you killed those assassins and I was opportune to see some of their corpses and I strongly believe that was not done by a simple human.

"I mean when you combine it all. Look at the mirror when next you fight your assassins. I hope they send some to you soon enough." With those words said, she stopped and began walking back into the water but he stopped her with his hand holding her wrist.

He looked into her eyes the darkness did not allow him to know its color. She blinked and swallowed.

This body was not as fine as his past body but he was still confident in his appearance after all he was yet to see anyone who looked better than this prince who had the best skin he has ever seen with a guy of his age. As a matter of fact, it made him jealous.

His hands moved before he could stop them. One pulled her closer and the other went to the back of her neck in a soft hold and tilted her head up.
