"What do you mean by you shouldn't have spoken?" I asked
"I will tell you everything, although your mother told me not to tell you anything!" He said
"Okay, speak up!" I said
"So ... you are a beast yourself! , the queen, I mean your mother is a beast as well, and your father is a normal human! Your mother married the king, I have no idea why he strictly kept her out of the palace but I know for a fact it has to do with Harionago either wanting to ruin the kings life or she holds grudges against your mom "He said
"Then why wasn't I banned with my mother!" I asked
"I am sorry your majesty but I don't know" He said
"well how can I like the king if he wants harm for me and my mother he separated us!" I said and then added"....He didn't even bother helping me with self defence classes and I know when I just woke up from a coma all of this happened but at least before the coma I would know how to fight right?" I asked
Salvino stood in front of me with nothing to say because he seems confused too and concerned
" And you know what is funny? My so-called father didn't bat an eye when Harionago made the guards go after me to try to kill me...I really wanted to believe that the king is a good man but he isn't" I said
Salvino looked raging mad
"You didn't know that the royal guards were trying to kill me?" I asked
"Calix royal guards have badges that got a specific pattern on it " Salvino said
"Oh so they were just Harionago's men huh!" I said and then added "If you learn the whole truth, you would be more angry shall I continue?" I asked
"THERE IS MORE? I'm sorry for being rude. Please continue, " He said
"Well, Achanda made a deal with me. If I help him slay beasts, he will not tell anyone that I am a prince. I thought he was helping me out, but he was actually just making me kill my kind?, " I said
"Oh, prince, I knew that already in those two years I knew everything that happened in that village. I was keeping my eyes on you the whole time!" He said
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you stop the whole slaying the beast thing, hmmm? And why did you act, so clueless, huh?" I asked
"I didn't know how to stop him. The only thing I did is tell the beasts to stop attacking the village, some of them listened, and some of them didn't, " He said
He ignored my question about why he acted clueless
"Oh... that is why they were decreasing in number, " I said
"Well, it is improper for a prince to lay on the floor, isn't it?" He asked
I stood up and laughed
I dashed and tried to attack him, but he dodged every move
"HOW...How are you dodging every move?" I asked
He looked at me with a smug face
"STOP THAT!" I said
He laughed at me
"Well I wasn't always this good" He said
He is probably lying
He made me train until sun down, and I didn't feel any change. I wanted more
He told me, "DO NOT CONTINUE TRAINING... Okay? I know you are a workaholic, but you will injure yourself at this rate, so R.E.L.A.X"
But I don't care, and I continued my training
Marina was standing at the door watching, but I didn't notice her
"Aren't you supposed to R.E.L.A.X?" She asked
"OH GOSH THAT SCARED ME!"I said
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" She said sincerely
Then she added
"Maybe the first impression of each other wasn't that great, so I apologize!" She said
" I apologize, too," I said
I noticed she had a basket in her hand, and her hands were full of blisters
" I baked some cookies for you. Hopefully, you enjoy them!" She said
She handed me the basket, and she was about to leave
"Hey, don't go! Who will eat all these cookies with me?" I said with a serious face
She looked at me, shocked, then laughed
" Wow, you are so nice!" She said
" I mean, it would be rude not to share, am I right?" I asked
"You are right! Ahem so who are you and what is your story and what is your relationship with my brother?" She asked
"Oh, Salvino didn't tell you?" I asked
" Well, I am not close to my brother he come of as cold... I guess. He doesn't tell me anything at all! Maybe... maybe he hates me, " she said with a hurt voice
" Oh, I don't think he hates you! Who hates their sister?" I asked Then added "I am the prince of this country. I am a beast as well, so don't feel threatened by me, Your brother wants to help me become a king, and I don't know what he wants from me as payment for helping me , but I am grateful for him! He is my saviour after all So I will trust him."
" Hmmm, the prince, huh? I thought the prince died. I read in the newspaper that the prince had beautiful blue eyes and brown hair they said he was an eye candy, too bad he died, and they aren't wrong... They described you perfectly!" She said
" You think I am good-looking?" I said with confidence
" No, just telling you what the article said," She said
" Yeah... yeah, sure, " I said
I looked inside the basket and saw well-made baked cookies, and they smelled good
I ate a cookie and gave another to her
I ate it, and it smelled like how it tasted... The cookies crunched, and when you bite into it, the chocolate malted in your mouth!
"WOW AMAZING COOKIES, ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL?" I asked
" Oh no, It is just a hobby," she said, embarrassed
"Well, you got to open a bakery!" I said
" My mother won't allow it. She wants me to marry a noble man and stay with him and not move a finger, " She said with a sad tone
"Well when I become king I will build you a bakery because I will come to buy from you every day! Or even make you my royal pastry chef" I said
"REALLY! WOW THANK...thank you" she said
We talked all night until each one of us separated and went to bed
