Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

After the meeting, it was already a bit late so we were all supposed to stay back in the castle but Axle practically dragged me out of the Palace into the Carriage. "We are leaving Clarissa" Axle said coldly as he kept walking to the carriage leaving me to follow him "No" I replied firmly as I stood at the palace gate which made him halt "Did you just refuse my instructions?" He asked with a smirk. "Yes I did, I want to stay in the capital state of Athens" I insisted. Seeing my determination to stay there he could only comply, "How long" "At least 5 days" I replied "Okay then" he replied and got into the carriage "Yay" I squealed as I followed him in. "Thank you Crown Prince" I said and just like that we were on our way but I guess the excitement got to me and I could barely keep my eyes open and fell asleep.

"We're here" The chauffeur said. *Sigh* I looked out the window to see "The Serenities", a 5 star hotel, one of the best in the world and the best Rovenia. I then glanced at Clarissa who was fast asleep "Trouble maker" I muttered. I stared at her pretty features for a few seconds. 'Why her?' I asked myself 'She'll probably be the death of me' I thought before carrying her out of the carriage. "Get Lady Eliza" I calmly told the chauffeur.

The formalities didn't take too long. I booked 3 rooms for a week. With the princess in my hand, I went to her suite first when I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Greetings Crown Prince" "Greetings Lady Evie Leinz" I greeted in return. She looked at the unconscious Clarissa in my hands with a question filled gaze but didn't say anything "Enjoy your stay here" She said sweetly before leaving.

I got to Clarissa's room and dropped her on the bed before taking of her shoes and tucking her in waiting for the arrival of Eliza. A few hours later Eliza arrived. "Greetings Crown Prince" Eliza greeted. "Greeting Lady Eliza" I greeted in return. "Apologies for summoning you at this time", "We had a change of plans, we will be here for a week, take care of the princess" He said calmly and left.

When I woke up, it was already really bright. "Good morning Princess" Eliza greeted sweetly "Eliza?, what are you doing in the capital state?" I asked lazily "The crown prince summoned me informed me about the extension of your stay here, so here I am "She said playfully "That's nice" I said. "Well, I've prepared your bath" She said sweetly "Thanks" I replied

When we got into the bathroom, it was massive and beautiful "Wow" I muttered, "What do you expect Princess, it's a VIP suite" Eliza laughed "Cool" I said as I slipped out of my robe into the lukewarm water. After she was done, I slipped into a beautiful silk golden dress with my hair packed into a high ponytail and hurried off.

First thing first, I wanted to see Axle. "Greetings Princess Clarissa" She greeted "Greetings Lady Evie" I greeted in return. "Are you lost Princess?" She asked "A little" I replied "You are looking for the Crown Prince right?" She asked "Yes" I replied "He's this way" She said as she led me to another VIP suite. "This is his room" She said "Thanks" I said as she left.

I forgot to knock and I opened the door to see an extremely pretty lady with shiny long thick straight midnight black hair, pretty snow white skin, rosy pink cupid bow really seductive lips, a super curvy body with super long thick eyelashes. Her hands locked intimately around Axle's neck, casually sitting on his thighs with her head on chest. I felt my heart clench 'Of course, can't believe I expected so much from him, he's still a prince' I thought as I unnoticeably left. I was so distracted as the thoughts came flooding in that I didn't notice till I bumped into someone. "I am so sorry" I apologized as I looked up to see a really tall familiar looking guy, 'Sir Eiser?' I asked in my head. "Greetings Princess Clarissa" he greeted with a slight bow, "Hello" I beamed him a smile, "What are you looking for?" He asked, "The dining area, I guess" I said sweetly, "Oh well follow me then" He said leading me to the dining area.

It was designed in white and gold, the matching table cloth and the golden cutlery was breathtaking, "Wow, this is… beautiful" I complimented, "here, couples and business meetings can go on, ""Contractors say whenever thy converse here, it always pull through" he added. "Really?" I asked excitedly "yes" he replied before lightly chuckling, "what?", "oh nothing" he laughed lightly. "Mhmm the food here is so nice" I complimented impressed by the food. "Yeah it was made by some of the best chefs in the world" He added proudly.

"When are you going to show me your wife?" Ariadne whined as she laid seductively on Axle's bed as he straightened his clothes, "One she isn't my wife and two I won't" He replied calmly but firmly, "but….Axle?" She whined as she stood up and started massaging his chest from behind in a seductive way. He clenched his jaw before taking her hand off his body, "The answer is still no" He said as he left leaving Ariadne. "hmmph, meanie" Ariadne pouted as she sat down.

*knock knock* A knock was sounded but there was no answer. So Axle let himself in 'hmmm, empty' he thought. "Where's Clarissa?" Axle asked "I am so sorry, I don't know Crown prince" Eliza said apologetically. "I see, inform me when she returns" He said calmly and left

"Hahaha" I laughed at a joke Eiser had just made. "To be honest, I thought you would be so stuck up when I first met you" "Yeah, I get that a lot Eiser replied "I am not but only to my sister" he added "That makes sense" I said "Clarissa" A male voice thundered sending jolts down my spine, the atmosphere suddenly changed to something mystical and dangerous, I glanced at Eiser but he seemed really calm and composed 'Probably used to the crown prince by now' I thought. "Greetings Crown Prince" Eiser calmly greeted, "Please excuse us" The crown price said calmly and Eiser calmly obliged. "Yes Crown Prince" I said calmly and formally. "Where have you been?" He asked calmly with no hint of expressions in his lifeless mythical ash blue eyes, "Apparently, I've been here" I said calmly with a straight face. "With Sir Eiser?" He asked with raised a brow, "Well yes, any problem with that?" I asked. He locked eyes with me but didn't say anything "Someone requests to meet you" he said calmly. "Sorry I am not interested" I said calmly "If that's all you have to say, I will take my leave now Crown Prince" I said calmly and left him. I couldn't tell his expressions because I was now backing him but one thing was for sure, the aura in the air and definitely tripled. "How the h*** can someone's aura be so strong' I thought to myself.

My next stop was definitely the garden. It was even grander than I thought, it was huge with beautiful colored flowers, daises, roses and many more. There was a white bench with "Serenity" encrypted in beautiful gold writing at the bottom. I sat on it as I gazed at the beautiful garden with white tables and chairs designed with gold flakes and a golden table 'cloth, almost like the one in the dining area.

'It's already the 22nd hour of the day, we should close the hotel' I thought, 'now where did Eiser go?, I want to go home' I said to myself when I almost hit someone, "Oh sorry" I apologized as I looked up to see 'Prince Axle?' 'What was he doing here' I thought as I locked eyes with him. It was so cold, lifeless and distant which sent shiver down my spine. He looked as emotionless as usual but his aura was terrible, this wasn't the first time I felt this but this time it was different and I knew exactly what he was looking for. "Greetings" I greeted with a curtsey, "Do you know the whereabouts of the princess?" He asked calmly "I am afraid I don't" I replied as he walked past me sending more chills down my spine.
