After dealing with Princess Lucinda's antics earlier that day, Prince Juval stayed away from Juri for reasons he couldn't explain. He just wanted to get away from women and the drama they brought to his life.
Hanging with the guys was a rare opportunity and the bonding time left him feeling calmer and more levelheaded. They had been playing poker for quite a while and night fell by time he returned to his bedroom.
He headed straight to the bathroom and turned on the tap. A cold shower was just what he needed, he allowed it to work its magic, pelting down around him. In spite of what he said to Derrick, he hadn't really dealt with the betrayal back then.
Juval had just avoided that aspect of his past but confronting Lucinda today made him feel free of the shackles he didn't know still bind him. Now his mind would no longer be hampered by images of a naked Princess Lucinda wrapped around Prince Leon.
