YOKEL KINGDOM
Prince Logan watched his guard prepare as well for the journey; later on, he carried his eyes to the drink in a cup in front of him.
He stood up with it and walked out slowly, ignoring the greetings from different angles.
He climbed so many stairs before getting to his destination.
With no knock, he squeaked the door open to see his father and Queen Delia in bed, making love.
"Zander!" King Villatoro cliched with a shocked expression, and Queen Delia dragged the duvet to her body quickly to cover up her nakedness.
Prince Logan, nevertheless, tardily took his steps towards them.
"You can't just barge in like that, Zander; have some manners and respect," Queen Delia shouted angrily.
"I'm in my father's chamber; you have no say," he responded while standing before his father, who said no word.
Probably, flabbergasted.
"What do you want?" King Villaotoro was really pissed off, but still, his voice was resonant.
"I came to drop this, Prince Logan replied richly. He stretched forth the drink to his father, whom King Villatoro never failed to gaze upon before looking at his son.
"What's in there?" That made Prince Logan scorn his father when he asked that question.
You're fucking serious; you think I would drug you." Practically, King Villatoro doesn't trust him one bit.
When it comes to Prince Logan, you should be cautious. He can be foxy.
He always does things unexpectedly.
"You should know the answer," King Villatoro answered instead, but Prince Logan only placed the cup in King Villatoro's hand.
"It's just a drink as an expression of appreciation." He started smirking inwardly.
"Your Lordship, you can't drink it; you know how Zander is." Queen Delia feared more.
Prince Logan sighed, annoyed with the way Queen Delia was acting.
He itches his ear with a reply of...
Delia, cut the crap; I will never try to poison my father; I ain't like you," Prince Logan fired back.
King Villatoro waffles to take it, but first he smells it, which doesn't give him a bad aroma, so without thinking much, he drinks it up in one go.
Prince Logan sternly kept an eye on his father with rapt attention.
"Are you good now?" King Villatoro handed him the cup, which he took with deep scorn.
"So sated," he snorted. "You two may continue," he added, turning to the door, then squandering his time towards it.
It wasn't too long before he heard the whimpers from his father, which earned him a little crackle.
"Are you alright, my king?" Queen Delia panicked, caressing his chest.
King Villatoro couldn't speak up as he was getting so hard to breathe. He held onto his neck as if it could help him breathe.
"What did you do to your father, Zander?" she yelled in tears, patting his back.
Prince Logan faced them with a stern expression.
"Not to fret, he won't die; withal, I don't want him dead since he's my father... It's just a brew that will make him not breathe fine, and he'll be just feeble at the moment. Worry less; my guards will bring the antidote." With that, he uttered a sigh.
The longest speech for him.
He turned to leave, but on second thought, he stopped and started... "And oh, now we're even; my body is weak and so is yours," he said before he walked out completely.
"Zander!!" She yelled, throwing a pillow at his back, but he was already out before it could touch him.
Prince Logan scoffed, amused by the little show.
His father dared to brew a potion to seize his powers, but what made him more snaky was that every time he tried to use them, he'd always be affected by them.

EARTH
When Brigitta reached the school premises, she was welcomed by her fellow schoolmates, who surrounded her.
She poked her temple with a click of her tongue.
"Is there a problem?" she asked, making sure her irritation was brought out.
"Did you just ask about my problem?" Cara, one of the school hotties, gritted her teeth while pushing her.
"Don't try me, Cara; I'm not in the mood for your tantrums." As stated, Brigitta pushed Cara's dogs (the girls) aside and walked past them.
Cara's parents are also investors in the school, which gives Cara the right to bully anyone she wants but not Brigitta and her friends.
She's the rude and sassy girl that most girls adore.
Apparently, from the looks of things, both parties don't like each other.
They would always quarrel, almost every time.
"Are you okay, best?" Shota asked, noticing Brigitta's face.
"That pesky Cara had to bar my way; she's so annoying," she growled, going to take a seat beside her friends. "I can't tell why she'd always be on your neck." Shota shook her head, frowning.
"She's acting like the Queen, and I hate that." "Talk of hate; I saw Leo." Brigitta growled more.
"Why mention his name?" "C'mon, you should use him to your advantage," Alma smirked while blinking her eyes.
Not too long after, Cara and her two friends entered. "What do you mean by that?"
"What we're trying to say is this: Leo is Cara's ex, and that's the main reason she detests you for thinking you stole Leo," Alma worded, sitting down on the desk.
"You know that's not the main point, babe; we have this unreasonable hatred for each other, apart from Leo," Brigitta remarked.
"Still girl, go for him; make Cara go crazy."
Shota bit her lip, smiling at the crazy idea.
Brigitta saw him enter, but she wasn't surprised when Leo approached her; unfortunately, Cara barred his way.
Brigitta busted out laughing almost out loud.
"See? It seems Cara isn't over; it's your chance."
Okay, fine," she surrendered as Alma pushed her forward.
Alma and Shota gave each other a high five with a deep smirk.
"What do you want?" Cara stood in her way. "I ain't talking to you; instead, I'm here for Leo, and with all due respect, he was coming my way." At that, Cara fumed, "You back off!" Brigitta was almost hit by Cara if only Leo hadn't stopped her by standing in between them.
"Stop, stop being this way." You're going to take her side now?" the more angry she was.
"We've broken up. Remember, why can't you get that? "That's for you and not for me," She yelled and stormed away.
All the while, Brigitta smiled silently.
She enjoyed the whole show.
It was hilarious to her.
Leo turned to Brigitta, who hid her laughter.
"I'm sorry about that." She gave out a soft smile, which he admitted to loving.
"Don't be Leo and Withal; I understand her; she still loves you".
"That girl" came out with a low chuckle.
"I'm not sure," he added.
Anyways, I'm here to congratulate you on winning." That got him smiling at her.
"Thanks, Brigitta" She nodded and replied...
"Chat later." She waved and walked back to her seat the minute the teacher entered.
"What? You two are becoming close?" Shota arranged her hair. "Really? I'm only doing this to upset Cara and nothing else," She puffed out.
"Alright girls, I might hate studying, but still, I need good grades not to be scolded at home," Alma said, giving her attention to the teacher.
Brigitta and Shota laughed lowly before listening to the teacher as well.

YOKEL KINGDOM
Princess Docia and Prince Logan arrived at their mansion. He stared around; it's been a long time since he last visited this place, and he kind of missed it.
"If you want, we can go to another house." Nah, it's cool," he says as he sits on the bed. In his room.
"I heard Prince Aleksei will be here."
"He's here already, actually." "How did you know?" she asked in a surprised tone.
Prince Logan only replied with no reply; he stood up and walked out, and Docia followed suit as well.
"I've arranged your school stuff; you should get ready tomorrow." "Why can't I skip school? May I remind you I'm done with school?" he groaned, still not stopping in his tracks.
"You've no choice, little brother." She patted him with a satisfied smile and walked to her room.
Prince Logan Googled around as the memories of his late mother flushed in.
He clasped his lips shut as his head throbbed so much.
He internally shook his head; bad, painful memories couldn't leave him be.
He staggered to the kitchen to get a glass of water hastily, and at once he gulped it down. He breathed out laboriously when it changed him.
Prince Logan had been trying to forget the painful memories, but it seems they were too stubborn to leave.
She was his world, his hope, his life, and his strength, but now...
He fisted his hand angrily; he had the urge to burn down the whole house, but he couldn't use it.
"Damn!" he gritted, crouching the glass on the floor.
That sound made Princess Docia rush down to him immediately; her eyes flickered to the glass that had been broken.
"What's wrong, Logan? she worriedly asked, placing her palm on his shoulder.
He could only glance at her and then step out.
"Lo..." she trailed off, sighing. She bent down to pick them up.
I wonder what would have occurred or triggered his brain to behave that way.
Yes, he's always angry at every little thing, but just now he was alright; why did he flare up all of a sudden?
She couldn't tell whether he was having problems.
