At the Third prince's chamber.....
"So, you went with the princess to the General's manor or did you not?" The prince questioned the innocent looking maid in his presence.
He was sitted with General Lucas in his chamber hall while they interrogated the servants individually. The prince interrogated the maids while General Lucas interrogated the guards.
"Sire, I'm sorry. I'll take all punishments" the maid cried out as she fell on her knees
"Why are you all so impossible? It's a very simple question! Did you or did you not come with my sister to the General's manor?"
"My prince, please forgive me"
"Haaaaa!" He grunted and pulled his hair
"Sire, please calm down"
General Lucas was getting furious, the guard in front of him wouldn't talk to him. He wanted to get the very important information and threaten him but the idiot didn't even dare look him in the eye.
He stood up and drew his sword at the neck of the guard. The guard fell to his knees immediately.
"Tell me what I want to hear" the General commanded. The guard looked at him and looked away immediately after
"Did you just look at me? No did you just look at me?" The guard remained motionless
"Look at me! I order you to look at me!"
The guard looked at him
"How dare you look at me?" He slapped the guard with the side of his sword right across the face
"My most sincere apologies, My Lord"
Andrey and Derrick were watching the two as they interrogated the servants one after the other. They were giggling as they made comments about them.
"Somehow, General Lucas is just funny" Derrick crossed his arms and leaned against the wall
Andrey was still trying to suppress the laugh that was threatening to escape his lips "Is it just me or General Lucas just told that guard to look at him just so he could slap him"
Derrick bursted out into laughter which triggered Andrey's laughter too. They saw everyone looking at them. At that moment, they realized what they just did. They weren't even supposed to be there in the first place and General Lucas had left Andrey at the house at noon.
"What are you doing here?" General Lucas and the prince said simultaneously then looked at each other then at the duo again.
"You should be home resting. Go back at once" they both said in unison
"I can't stay home alone. I need company" Derrick and Andrey said in unison
"OMG, that was so cool" they both said in unison again
"Boss, we were meant to be in this together. I believe we have a special bond"
"Now, don't make it all weird, Derrick. The prince seems like a faithful man. Let's just stay like this and hope we get through this alive"
"They do look really angry"
"What are you discussing about? I'm talking to you" General Lucas had already appeared in front of Andrey and the prince as well in front of Derrick
"And I'm listening" Andrey replied with his eyes rolled to the side
"I told you to stay at home"
"Your home is packed with soldiers. None of them would talk to me and they're all so handsome. Imagine being a gay guy and getting rejected by the man of your dreams, no men, men of your dreams. How would you feel?..... Exactly what I thought"
"Are you admiring my soldiers?"
"Yes, I was"
"So you're saying I'm not handsome enough for you to admire" General Lucas tilted his head to the side with his arms crossed. He looked so gorgeous
Andrey was nervous, didn't know what to do or say. He could feel the General getting furious. Maybe this was the end for him
"Of course you're the most admirable. That's why I'm here to admire you"
"I won't trust you to go back home so you can stay until I'm ready to leave. You can go around the palace for a while"
"Can Derrick come with, please? We're equally bored"
"I don't care" General Lucas said and went back to his interrogations. "I'm telling you, I'll have your head if you don't answer me, where do you buy the fluffy dolls?"
"My Lord, I won't dare lie to you, I didn't buy any dolls for anyone. I don't even know what those are" The kneeling guard said with a shaking voice
"Luke, that's not what we're to be asking"
"What should we be asking? I'm just here, I have no idea"
"Where are the guards that escorted my sister to your house?"
"Oh right"
General Lucas turned back to the guard and asked "Where are the guards that escorted my sister, ahem, that's not right. Where are the guards that escorted The princess to my house earlier?"
"Probably at the Princess's chamber"
"We didn't think of that before. Lets go pay my sister a visit" the prince said and everyone went their own ways
WHILSTWHILSTWHILSTWHILSTWHILSTWHIL
"You should be home resting. Go back at once" the prince ordered
"Hmph, you're not the boss of me. And I thought we talked about you bossing me around. You wanted me, I wanted independence. It's a very simple trade"
"I just don't want to going around the palace, it's dangerous. Please go back to my rooms"
"No! The guards are not fun to talk to and it's extremely boring there without you. I want to walk around a little"
"What if someone else picks interest in you?" The prince took Derrick's hands
"So you're jealous I'll get bored of you? Don't worry, I won't"
"And maybe later we can have some hard workout together"
"You got it, princey"
The prince went on his way
"What have you done?" Andrey questioned
"What?" Asked confused Derrick
"First you turned the prince gay"
"You did the same to General Lucas so I'm not the only one who've done some turning in the past few days"
"Uh whatever. Second, you've corrupted his mind. What's that hard workout all about?"
"Don't pretend as if you don't know, boss. What about baby Luca?"
"Oh she's doing fine. I was surprised when General Lucas brought her home"
"Right! Also you have to start calling General Lucas by name. Show some superiority so that he doesn't step on you anyhow"
"But he's the General?"
"Oh cut the crap. You don't care you just don't wanna get beheaded and stuff"
"True! I'll try being more... doing that"
"Great! Now let's go break some rules before our boyfriends get back"
"You'll get us both killed"
