Celine hadn't seen crown prince Alexandro after the incident at the garden and was hoping to see him. He was probably doing a court meeting with those officials. Lady Gwen had to stay in the palace for some days, which she was sure was very pleasing to her.
"She should thank me", she muttered.
"Who should thank you?". A masculine voice said and she turned with such great energy. "Your highness", she said. Her eyes were wide. What the hell was crown prince Logan doing here.
Crown prince Logan laughed. "What were you expecting to see? The spirits of those you had murdered?", He scoffed. This made Celine roll her eyes. "I don't believe in ghosts. It's so absurd", she said and he nodded.
" So what are you doing here?. I thought the security was tight", Celine asked. Crown prince Logan didn't say a thing at first. "I know you miss me already, right?" She asked and he smirked. "Like I know you ". Celine smiled and made to tap his shoulder then thought better not to. She let her hand drop.
"You know my sister, so apparently you know me. And I'm like your spy or should I say pawn?" She scoffed.
Celine suddenly realized that he was in her room, but was dressed in his princely clothes.
How the hell did this moron come here?
"Don't make me start believing in ghosts, your highness ", she said and he laughed. It wasn't as if he did like laughing, but, he loved hearing his own voice. He worshipped it.
" I sneaked in to see you", he said and she smiled feeling satisfied. "I told you, you missed me". He rolled his eyes. " I was hoping you weren't doing things without my consent. And you seem to be doing a good job".
"My sister is my priority. I'll do anything for her", she said and he nodded slowly, his face full of mock amazement. " She's fine and you don't need to worry". Celine felt all the more worried with those reassuring words. This prince could be such a nuisance. Then, she remembered something. Something crown prince Alexandro had said about sedatives.
Celine looked at crown prince Logan straight in the eye. She was good at those kind of smothering intensity with the eyes, but that thick scary amber coloured eyes made her look away.
"The crown prince Alexandro said someone added sedatives to our drinks that night of the party", she said searching his face for a weak expression but got non.
"Really? Someone must have the same motive as I ", he said thoughtfully. Celine almost believed this man, but God bless her gangster brain coupled with that Scorpio traits, she didn't believe him and so she pressed further.
" I remember you saying that you had eyes and ears everywhere. Maybe they..." He cut her short by raising his right hand. " They always do what I tell them", he said and she nodded still not believing him. This prince was cunning as a fox. And those smile that held secrets... How in the world would she believe such a person even if he were the prince.
The crown prince Logan shrugged. "It certainly won't hurt if I told you, I did it myself". Now this was so absurd. " But..."
"My life isn't a bed a of roses and so how I do these things shouldn't be questioned", he said and she had no other choice but to keep shut.
The crown prince Logan looked around the room, it was neat and spacious . The walls were strong . The war didn't really affect them that much. He caressed the wall then using his nails scarred it. This made Celine shiver." I like the texture", he said smiling. That all the more sent shivers racing down her spine.
To change the subject, she asked what her sister did to him. After all she deserved to know the story. He smiled and said," I'm in no mood to say that now, but it was like a blessing in disguise"
What the fuck?
He, crown prince Logan walked to her and patted her head, "Do your duty and you can take your sister". Immediately he said that, the door knob turned and a maid came in to announce something. Celine turned, but didn't see him again. She nodded to the maid to leave and shut the door.
"She's gone", she said and he came out. "I should leave", he said and left though the door.
"Won't you be caught?", She asked in a whisper. But, something assured her that he wouldn't be caught.

It was dark and Celine Still hadn't seen the crown prince Alexandro . Where the hell was he? She thought. Who cared anyway, she had her own life to worry about. Why would she care about some lousy prince who never showed any feeling. She called a maid and requested for alcohol. "Miss, this is your second bottle", the fine maid protested. She deserved a third bottle, her whole life was a mess. "Just this bottle and I would go in".
She downed cup after cup until she was drunk like the drunken master,just that she wasn't in her normal state of mind.
The crown prince Alexandro came in to see her drinking. He looked at the maids and they rushed to her, but he stopped them. "I'll take her in myself", he said. What kind of evil spirit made him do that?
" Stand, you're drunk", he said to her and she didn't budge. He picked her up with his arms to carry her in. When they had reached her room, she pushed him away. "I can stand on my own", she said and he let her be. She pointed at him.
" I'm not like you whose life is so miserable". The maids gasped, but he did nothing. " You can't even rule your own people. What a shame", she said and he made to protest but she shut him up placing her hand on his lips.
"Shhhh. Your life is a mess that you can't fix it". She wanted to belch but held herself. " You know what? Your life is like poop". And with that she vomited on him. It came as a surprise for him, he liked at her and at his clothes. Now that evil spirit that led him was working full time.
"Take her in". He told the maids and left. He didn't think much about the vomit, but what she had said. It had struck a chord in his heart.
This woman... .
