Winter watched as the guard scanned the room and went out without any signs of catching someone. She had heard footsteps coming her way earlier no matter how the person tries to be quiet not wanting to alert the person in the room.
The room had dozens of hiding spots but they are all too obvious so she calmly look around and found gaps in the ceiling where she could hide. She was thankful the room lighting is dim singer shadow won't be noticable.
But a little thing on her mind is telling her that this is all wrong. Merpeople can detect life signals as a physical ability and not supernatural, the mer guard should have detected her but he didn't which is very suspicious!
Was the dimension rule affecting that too or was someone helping her. She dismissed the latter, it is very unlikely. The boys don't even know where she is even with Jude keeping an eyes on her.
A few minutes later after the guard went away another set of footsteps approached. The person must be quite confident enough hearing how loud and powerful it is. She stayed carefully in her gap watching the person walk in with some guards.
Judging from his shape..it's Prince!
'What is he doing here?'
Princess dismissed the guards following him. He went to one of the couch and sat down, his whole being surrounded in an elegant aura, his red eyes gleamed brightly in the dark room. He pulled up his lips and said to no one in particular.
"You can come down now, she's gone"
Winter's mouth twitched, he knew she is here and helped her hide from beauty. Now she knows why the guard didn't detect her earlier.
However that only made her more wary of him, Beauty magic didn't signify exactly who is in the room but he did and that concludes he can still use his magic in here?!
Or is he a merman?! Doesn't seem to have any qualities of one.
With a set of graceful moves she came down from the ceiling and sat down on the seat opposite his. Her eyes locked on firmly on his making the air slightly oppressive.
He had already asserted his dominance earlier by making her the weaker party. She can't let him use any phycological moves on her again.
"I am more than happy to show you how I got my red eyes" Prince teased playfully his tone laced with pure happiness.
His future wife is interested in him!
"No need" Winter refused decisively.
"What do you want?" She asked. He could have just left the place after helping her but he sat down here shows he has something to tell.
"It's a bit rude for someone to help you and you didn't even bother to say thank you, isn't it?" Prince said his eyes had a hint of danger to it as his voice got three notes deeper.
His future didn't even bother to thank him! He is aggrieved!
Winter felt the dangerous energy and calmed her instinct down first before replying.
"It's only cindered help if it's actually needed"
"That's right" Prince seem to have undergo a big change and smiled again.
'i have to discipline her in the future lest she be rude and impolite'
A group of guards entered followed by waiters holding trays of refreshment. They arranged the refreshments filling the large table to the brim.
Papillon dropped her tray of refreshment oder to Winter. She slipped a piece of paper to her hand before standing up.
"That man is not among the staff" Winter secretly read the paper.
Prince face changed and a low feeling surrounded the room. His eyes gleamed blood red in anger, he clenched his fist and breathed heavily.
The people in the room sensed the low feeling and stood transfixed in their spot. The shiver down their spine is so uncomfortable and dangerous. Their danger instinct told them to run quickly! But their body is very disobedient not even daring to breath too loudly.
"I remember you asked me for a name and address a few days ago" Prince said in a deep voice.
"Mm" she nodded. All she has to do now is stand her ground in this phycological battle.
"I have the man with me" Prince announced calmly dropping his glass of wine.
Winter trembled faintly and spoke up.
"So?"
Prince dismissed those in the room with a wave of his hand.
"He seem to have no intersection with you whatsoever and I couldn't help but be curious why you want to see him..so badly"
"None of your business"
Her eyes turned cold, all he has been doing since resulted in this.
He wants to keep an eye on her!
"It is very much part of my business if my..if you want to see him since he is in my hands" Prince said through gritted teeth.
'my future wife is so unfaithful and has to be taught a lesson!'
Winter picked up a juice and waved it close to her nose, she took a casual gulp and dropped it.
"It's true I have no intersection with him and that's what I want to ask him"
She had to find a way to get out of here now!
"I will take you to him and you can ask him then" Prince eyes softened and the threatening aura around him disappeared.
"No need" she refused.
"Be obedient" Prince said helplessly.
'my future wife is too stubborn'
Winter replied calmly" our relationship isn't that deep for either of us to meddle in personal business"
On the surface she is giving him respect but in reality she is saying he shouldnt speak in such an ambiguous tone.
Prince frowned he understood bwhat she meant and couldn't help the anger rising again. Their relationship is the closest between a man and a woman, she doesn't know it yet!
"I hope to be friends with you"
A call for truce.
"I thought we are already friends" Winter said" since I received benefits from you"
Another surface words, the meaning is, we will just use each other so the correct word is friends with benefits.
Prince stood up in a fit of rage, his energy pulsates throughout the room, the drinks shattered into millions of pieces flying everywhere, the table had huge cracks is running along and the sofa ripped.
For a long time he has been listening to his future wife unreasonable requests and words. This woman step on his pride as the male of the relationship and would be disciplined properly.
Winter stood up coolly and removed the glass bits in her arms, the red blood dropped and spread on the floor like blooming flowers.
"You apologize immediately and your sentence will be reduced" Prince ordered.
Winter looked at him indifferently and moved away. Her while being looks relaxed but her body is attack ready. Her calm eyes darted around the room for any advantages getting ready to escape.
Prince found her behavior infuriating and sent a powerful streak of orange beam at her!
Winter deftly doged and bolted towards the door.
Someone entered and the rest just happened in a blur.
A huge couch landed in someone with large amounts of blood gushing out. The person barely alive did a move to preserve herself and was assumed dead.
The remaining people left the room leaving a trail of little drops of blood dripping from a person been held in a guards arm.

Sorry for the late update.
