Prince Logan sat on his throne with a cigar in his mouth, not minding the girl that knelt before him obviously begging for something they both knew. "My prince, you need to consider this, though as you said she owes you a lot, please let her live". The girl who looked eighteen said with tears in her eyes. She didn't know why her sister had something to do with the prince but it seemed as if he would not let her off like that .
Surprisingly, he scoffed." I should let her go because you begged me?",he soffed her once more. Then she blurted out, what she said made meaning and he was interested that he stopped focusing on his cigar.
"I'll do anything you want me to do , just let Amaya be". He needed a prey, a pawn and this woman just brought herself to be used.
"Celine, am I mistaken?". She shook her head."I'll let your little sister go if you do one little thing for me"
"What is it ,your highness?". She wanted this for the sake of her younger sister, the only person she had left in the world after the war between Xavier and Segovia.
The war took everything from her , she had watched her mother die before her eyes and her father die out of depression and a serious case of pneumonia leaving her five year old self and her three years old sister all alone in the world.
"The crown prince of Xavier is throwing a five day ball and I want you to attend. .."
"I can do that", she said cutting him off. He didn't admonish her because he knew what was coming after he had made his request, rather he went on." I want you to have an affair with him. What I mean is this; let him fall deeply in love with you, so in love that he can kill himself for you and then shatter his heart in a thousand pieces . Then I will do the rest ". Her eyes were so wide that he actually laughed.
"But...I'm just a... I can't do it". He smiled that wicked smile that everybody knew and dreaded. "Then I can let you tell your sister how much you'd miss her and_ " He looked at her to see her expression, then said,"_ don't forget to wish her safe journey to the after life". With these words said she bowed her head low to the ground in total submission. " I will do as you wish, your highness".
As she stood to take her leave he said "Don't forget to give me feedback on everything that happens". She nodded and left .
Crown prince Logan stared into space, he was doing the right thing, Xavier had destroyed everything he had called his own... . "Amaya", he said the name in an unstirring whisper that spoke nothing at all.
Celine could not believe her ears how possible could she make a prince who had never seen her before, a prince whose cold stares could shake mount everest into a thousand pieces. She had to try anyway ,for the sake of her dearest sister. But she still didn't know what she owed the crown prince. The ball was starting tonight and she had to get ready. The prince had personally given her clothes and jewelry with her personal make-up artist. She was indebted to him now. And somehow she felt that if she failed in this mission, he would hold her hostage. She had to do this for Amaya.
Amaya lay down on her back watching the ceiling , the Michael Angelo - sort of- design . Suddenly, crown prince Logan came in without knocking. "Your sister really loves you. She had agreed to my request". Amaya gritted her teeth."you..." Crown prince Logan smiled a smile that meant he was victorious." Just sit tight, your sister would save you". She watched him leave. This king was not merciful and knowing he would never be, she had entered his trap, the one he had made her walk right into. If she had power and influence, just if she had...
