Sitting down quietly on a brown wooden big chair which had a small table infront, Lily looked up to let Sebastian know she was going to listen to him.
"Do not move" Sebastian warned this time as if he knew she was going to stand up.
"I have never been the notorious one, not anywhere, so why are you that worried that I did leave" Lily asked with a straight face but then Sebastian look made her brows cease.
"we both know what is true and what is not true" Sebastian said finally opening the door and going in.
All because of the sentence Sebastian had made, her heart leaped, "what the hell did he mean?".
Lily sat still for the next two to three minutes, but somehow her instincts told her to stand which she did and then she started walking away to find the route where they had come through earlier.
On getting to a particular place, she saw two maids who walked together with mop sticks and buckets of water.
"can I ask where the exit is?" Lily bodly asked after the maids bowed to her.
"where to milady?, if I may ask" A maid asked and on looking closely, Lily knew she had passed beside the maid when she and Sebastian were going.
"for fresh air" she replied curtly.
"am in no place to take you out milady, The Lord should take you out, it is dangerous to be alone with no one with you" The maid said and they both bowed again before continuing with their walk.
"so messed up!" Lily screamed inside of her.
Sebastian entered into the King's bedroom, the people who were taking care of the king had just finished cleaning him( the king) and made him use his drugs.
They were on their way but coming across Sebastian, they bowed and walked out.
"My king" Sebastian greeted as he walked towards the King's bed.
"Sebastian?" The old man's shaking voice called out, "come here" his voice said as he stretched out his hands and Sebastian bent down on his kneel for the old man to touch his hair.
"I thought you died... the witch said so" The old man said and Sebastian was on the verge of laughing at the old man, the old man had always been the feared man, his words were mostly sarcastic, Sebastian wondered where else he could have gotten his behaviour from, if not his father.
"I did die" Sebastian said and the man smiled.
"you found your mate yet?" He asked and Sebastian expression changed.
"you need to get married or at least try looking for your mate" the old man said and Sebastian smiled.
"I shall do that, when I feel its necessary" Sebastian said and the King smiled.
"Stay safe and be careful of him" The king said, Sebastian was sure he had repeated this same words to his brother, that was how politics worked, it was the game of throne.
"I will your highness" Sebastian said with a smile and the King coughed slightly.
"you have brought in something... again, I hope it won't bring about your ruin" The king said and with a yawn he added, "go now for I want to rest" And Sebastian did just that.

walking back to where Sebastian had left her, she had an unfamiliar familiar female voice from behind.
"Lady...!" The female voice had called out and Lily looked back to see the lady from earlier walking towards her, not sure if it was her the lady was walking towards she pointed her fingers to herself and the lady nodded.
"what are you doing here all alone?, has Sebastian perhaps left you on your own? " The lady inquired but Lily said nothing.
"pardon my manners, I am Kiara, the princess of Aria" The lady introduced and Lily nodded.
"I am Lily" Lily introduced herself bluntly, " nice to meet you" she added and she could swear she saw a look of confusion from the princess.
"from which kingdom do you come?" the princess asked and Lily smiled probably wondering what she would say and why the lady was so interested in her.
"I am not from a place you know" Lily found a short answer and the lady's brows raised.
"Oh, you are a foreigner?, that makes sense, you could at least tell me where you came from, my governess had made sure to enlighten me on kingdoms that we have" The lady said and Lily was close to becoming annoyed.
"am from the earth" Lily said at last and the look on Kiara's face showed she figured out Lily was a fool.
"aren't I on earth too?" Kiara asked and Lily smiled.
"I see you two are getting along" Sebastian's voice said out and both Lily and kiara looked to see Sebastian coming.
"I was passing by and seem to see the lady, Lady Lily I mean and I thought why not get a new friend" Kiara said with a smile and Sebastian returned it with an insincere one.
"Lily isn't really good with friends and she prefers being by herself" Sebastian said.
"I see you are quite close to the lady who doesn't know her own kingdom or where she is from" Kiara said.
"Why do you say so? that I am quite close to her" Sebastian asked.
"you address her so informally" Kiara stated and Sebastian nodded.
"we are close but its been long we had met each other, quite long and she seems to have struggles in accepting that I am her lost friend" Sebastian said and Lily scoffed.
Little did she know it was true.
"we shall take our leave now, lady Kiara, say me well to your father and brother" Sebastian said and he then walked away and Lily followed leaving the Kiara lady alone in the passage.
"mori!" Kiara called out with a straight voice, her expression changed.
"milady" The lady she had called came out, it was her maid.
"Let the lady Sabina know I am around, I shall visit her tomorrow and also let my Father know I want to talk to him, I will be willing to get married" Kiara muttered the last part to herself.
"yes milady".

"milord, the general is here" A guard came telling the man who was seated in his office, going through scrolls.
"Let him in" The man ordered and the guard bowed before walking out, shortly after the general came in.
"milord" The general bowed.
"What a great honor for the great general to come, what do I owe the visit?" The man asked as he closed the scroll.
"milord, I have news" General Josef said and the man who was sitting smiled.
"I am all ears" He replied.
"milord, he is back... your brother" The general announced but there was no look of shock on the man's face, it looked as if he had expected it.
"how boring would it be if I have no competition, Josef you are a general, your motto is? " The man asked as he opened the next scroll.
"we fight till the end" Josef replied and the man laughed, a scary laugh.
"get me the kingdom plan for Itoni, for I will like to pay a visit to the king" The sitted man said and the general bowed as he got ready to take his leave.
"go to the mistress, tell her Oberan sends for a lady for the night" The sitted man said and Josef nodded before leaving.
After Josef had left, Oberan silently dropped the scroll in his hands on the floor.
'Sebastian had come back again, and this time around, he planned on taking care of things by himself, he had done that to the king and nothing was going to stop him from replacing his father and then replacing his brother'.
he thirsted and hungered for power and he was going to quench his thirst and eat till he was satisfied, every drop of it was going to be his.
