"Second Prince Maverick Norma"
Naturally, this was the name of second son of King Alfred Norma. The legitimate one at that.
King Alfred was still healthy and well right now, but many nobles speculated that after the haste declaration of his eldest son, Amaris Norma as the Crown Prince, the king was preparing to step down or his health was deteriorating. They knew there time had come to choose the right side as soon as possible because in matter of 10 or even less years the new King would be coronated.

Anyway, In the carriage Travis was done thinking for his next steps when Tatiana yelled "You little rat, are you ignoring me? Just you wait for a while. I know you must be pleased with yourself after cultivating a little and enlisting in army. But you are just pathetic fool, if you think that you have chance of survival in Drakerol, going in that forest is just suicidal. I can't wait to get the news of your death, haha" she was happy after venting her frustrations but then...
The temperature in the carriage suddenly turned cold and she felt something on her neck? She looked up and was shocked to see, Travis was there holding a dagger just inches away from her neck. She felt terrified knowing that if this Tier 3 dagger just closed in even an inch, it would cut her neck.
She said holding her breath "Tr-travis calm down, I am your sister you know that right. You can't do this" She was so nervous that her mind couldn't come up with a better excuse.
Travis chuckled and said "Sister? Do you mean the one who poisoned me? Then isn't this an expected outcome"
Tatiana Sean first time in her life was this scared, Not even that 'person' had this cold blue eyes, which was saying 'You are just an ant in my eyes, I am just waiting for you to move and the game will be over'
She had tears in her eyes, She was trembling from feeling the pressure excluded by Travis. She said "I didn't intended to do that, B-but I was ordered. If it was success I would then become the queen"
Travis stared at her for a while and then "HAHAHA" He didn't like to bully girls but this one had literally poisoned him and for what?, he said "So, You are saying that, you would poison your own brother and be the queen. Is that right?"
Although she was scared, she didn't wavered from speaking the truth. She was ambitious women and she knew the risks involved. She nodded firmly in the face of a 10 year psycho who was pointing Tier 3 dagger at her.
Travis was mildly surprised by her honesty and in truth little charmed. He traced the dagger from her neck to her lips and small cut was inflicted on it.
Tatiana was scared and when she felt the cut on her lips, She thought 'It's over'
However, A soft lips was planted on her's luscious red lips. The blood was licked away. She opened her eyes in surprise. She said "What do you th-"
Before she could say anything he placed his hand on her mouth and said "Did Maverick Norma gave you any proof that you will be the official queen and his first wife?" in his mind he was enjoying this moment. He licked his lips and felt the sweet taste of Tatiana.
She looked dazed when she saw him doing this, her cheeks were painted red and she said "No, he didn't. And what do you think you are doing to me? We are siblings for fuck's sake"
Travis had mischievous smile on him, he asked "Was this your first kiss?" Tatiana didn't knew but this was the question on which her life was depended. She shook her head immediately saying "I'm not an idiot, I didn't let him touch an hair on my body unless he announced our marriage"
Travis said "Good. From now on don't meet him okay" He flashed his dagger and said "I haven't got my revenge yet. So you better be careful. Not even Maverick can save you" he had a psychotic smile saying this.
Out of nowhere and sound was heard in Travis' consciousness "Hey kiddo, Don't overdo it. She admitted her mistakes, you know. It's better to be gentle if you want to make her yours, haha" Travis was surprised hearing her but said "Oh and what gives you the right to decide that. I haven't dealt with you yet. So shut up and sleep there bitch"
Purple was stunned hearing this, never in her life someone had called her that vile words. She fumed and started cursing him in his head.
Travis ignored her and watched Tatiana attentively, She just blinked her big blue eyes and nodded in daze. For some reason she liked seeing the always reserved and troublemaker little brother of her suddenly being so dominant and ordering her.
Travis watched her nodding with that cute expression and couldn't stop himself, he leaned in and kissed her again. This time he invaded her mouth and tasted her completely. Tatiana didn't stop him seeing his burning gaze. She was little embarassed after noticing his little brother fondling with her boobs.
She stopped his hands which were squeezing her boobs with flushed face and said "Enough!! you shameless bastard, aren't you ashamed doing something like this to your big sister?"
Travis licked his lips and looked in her eyes and said without answering her question "Tatiana, From this moment on. You will not even see Maverick in his eyes. Not till I am done with you for your past favours to me"
Tatiana again blushed knowing what he meant by not done with you. She was about to reprimand him when she felt him again hugging her. his body was really warm right now, unlike his cold gaze from before.
He was about to grab her ass when the carriage suddenly stopped. Travis withdrew his hands and took the tissues from the package and gave one to Tatiana.
She looked puzzled and asked "What are you doing? " She sounded little disappointed?
Travis gave her a knowing smile and said in a innocent voice "I would continue the service big sister, But it seems some ugly bastard has come to disturb us, I think you were waiting for him? Your time for opting has come. You can choose to spill the beans or not have any contact with him ever again"
Tatiana realised something, And was about to say something when she felt that cold glare of Travis. He said "Needless to say you can't choose both. If you choose me over him, remember never to betray me. I am a worst friend to have betrayed, then an enemy to make" he gave her the tissue after finished saying his word.
She took the tissue fearfully then wiped off the saliva from her mouth and chin. She suddenly thought 'This vile creature is very ferocious'

The door opened, Cameron entered and closed door tightly fearing the conversation would be heard by someone else and said "We are at the border of the territory young master. But it seems that a royal carriage has blocked the road. What should we do?" One can clearly see Cameron was little embarassed for some reason.
Tatiana blushed when she saw his face and glared venomously at Travis. Travis just smiled and acted as if he was stabbed in his heart and said "Ahh, Don't look at me like that enchantress. I feel like hundreds of daggers has pierced my heart" he laughed.
But the room went completely silent. He again cleared his throat and said "Ahm, Anyways there's nothing to be worried about. Cameron take young miss back to House Sean's main mansion" he looked at Cameron embarassed face and again said "Tatiana go out, I have something to say to him"
Tatiana was more than happy to go away from this shameless fellow. Once she left, Travis took out a scroll and gave him. he said "I know you are stuck at the last stage of second realm. Practice this cultivation method and break through to core formation realm" he paused and said "Also take care of Candace and Tatiana once you return"
Cameron was more than happy to oblige. He took the scroll and said " Young Master can move freely and don't worry about things in the Sean Dukedom. Unless an higher realm fighter came, I would protect them with my life"
Travis smiled hearing this, he further explained "Wheather is really cold nowadays, Duke is soon going to be sick, So be careful"
Cameron widened his eyes in shock knowing exactly what it meant coming out of his young master's mouth. he instantly got down to his one knee and bowed saying "Young Duke of House Sean, Travis Sean. Your wish is my command"
Travis smirked at this cheeky old man. He knew when to grab a opportunity. Travis nodded and left the carriage.
He looked at Tatiana and winked before heading towards the other carriage. She trembled where she stood. Seeing Travis' departing figure towards the royal carriage she again blushed touching her lips where he kissed her. she thought 'Hmph, Do you think I am afraid of you. Next time... Just you wait' She entered the Sean family carriage and left the scene.
Travis smiled when he noticed the carriage leaving. it essentially meant that Tatiana had gave up on pursuing the throne, For now atleast.
