.... Asher's POV....
"I want you to work for me." He said with a stern face.
"Work for you! I won't. Tell me if there's anything else or I'm leaving." I say with a frustrated expression.
"What are you doing, Asher!? You were the who didn't wanted to work in the castle, right? Now what happened?" Adena says annoyed by me.
'Why isn't she understanding!?' I think.
"Answer me, Asher!" She says and glares at me like she'll eat me alive.
The guy keeps standing at his position with his usual serious and unreadable face. I don't know why but I wanna scratch his pretty face. I turn towards that guy and say "I don't care who you are, but why the hell are you offering me a job!?" I say with my jaws clenched.
"As a compensation for your punch..." He says as a matter- of -fact.
" What is that job?" I say after thinking for a while.
Before he could answer a man dressed as a guard comes towards us and bows his head. "Your majesty.."
He turns towards him and asks, "what..?"
"Your majesty, here's the list for the people who'll give the interview for the royal advisor." He hands him a folded paper.
"Huh! So, you disturbed me just for this? Do you want to lose your tongue that much?" He says with a stern face and threatening voice. The guard steps back looking down and says, "I'm sorry, your majesty."
'How could he? Is he a king or something? Even if he is, he has no right to say anything like that! ' I was engrossed in my world of thoughts, when I realized that he is directly looking in my eyes with his soul piercing grey eyes.
"What job were you going to apply for in the castle?" He says and turns towards Adena who is standing near me quietly.
I open my mouth to say something but before the words come out of my mouth Adena speaks. " Uh ... Royal Advisor."
' She never uses her brain!' I think annoyed by her weird habit of speaking truth, I know it's not a bad thing but she's too innocent for this world and it's not a good thing too.
"I think we should leave now." I say and hold Adena's hand as we turn to leave .
... Boy's POV.....
They leave, this guy is interesting. I just offered him a job cuz he'll make a good soldier, but he seems .... foolish,q more than I thought.
"Do you need any changes in the list, your majesty?" My guard asks taking me out of the world of my thoughts.
" There will be a competition too, other than the interview." I say after thinking a while.
"But...." The guard bows his head .
"I'm the future king ! And I'll be the one who selects the future royal advisor! I don't want anyone weak to be my advisor." I turn to him . " If you ever tried to question my decision again, it won't take a single second for me to kill you!" I say with stern face, I turn to leave and then turn back and say, " don't follow me! I don't want anyone to know my real Identity yet!" I say in commanding tone and disappear in air.
'I'm in an old mansion when I open my eyes, this is a secret place where I usually come whenever I want to hide from this world and my responsibilities.' I laugh at myself. 'Yes I, Shayan Shah! The most dangerous person in this world also has to hide. Others know me as a strong, stern and arrogant prince. But no one ever tried to see the real me'
