"what plan". a familiar voice asks from behind leaving the two rooted to the spot.
"did he overhear our conversation". Kayla thought as sweat popped up on her forehead, she felt like killing him but no,he was their only hope to find the precious jewel.
"your highness". Lucas said walking towards him.
"I'm prince Lucas, Kayla's cousin it's so nice to meet you". he smiles.
"same here, are you visiting our kingdom". Henry asks.
"not really, I'm here to see my cousin and her newly wedded husband". he winked.
"oh I see! why don't you stay in the palace for a few days". Henry says.
"sure I'll love to but I need to go now I'll be back soon". Lucas waved and walked away leaving Kayla and Henry alone.
"can we leave know". he asks snapping her out of her daze.
"sure". she says and climbs on the horse as well as Henry as they road down town back to the palace.
Henry and Kayla both arrived at palace and headed to the room. Henry shut the door from behind.
"your cousin right". he says.
"what do you mean". Kayla asks.
"I mean is he really your cousin, I knew you had a cousin but never a male cousin". he says seating on the bed.
"it's a secret". she said and went out of the main chamber to her room shutting the door tight.
Kayla sat on the bed and with the help of her maid, she took of the heavy robe and jewelleries.
"so any news or anything suspicious". she asks.
"my lady, the maids are quite secretive". the maid replies.
"really how". she says.
"I asked questions about any forbidden rooms or locked rooms but none responded except a young maid, I made some investigation and it was said she was the prince's former maid". she says.
"wow! great news I need to see that maid before the end of today". Kayla demanded and sent the maid off.

"I can see that you and your wife are getting along pretty well". the king smirks twirling the wine glass.
"what do you mean by that father". Henry asks.
"don't play dumb with me, what were you doing outside the palace with the princess". he questions.
"father you have no right to question me about what I do with my time". Henry snaps.
"how dare you talk to me in that manner". the king growls.
"listen to me Henry, I don't want you messing with my plans okay". the king says and gulps down the wine.
"to hell with your plan father, I don't care". Henry says and leaves the room
"this boy will never learn".
"hey you". he pointed to a guard. "keep an eye on him". he commanded.
