"That's enough, take your seat Arthur." King Rutherford ordered and Prince Arthur obeyed his father after paying his respects to him, he took his seat a bit far away from the other brothers.
"I called you all here today to be certain that we are all on the same page here. Prince Nolan already told me at the party last night that he has no problem with the competition but I didn't get a chance to ask the rest of you so that is why we are here." The king began and every single one of the princes listened with rapt attention.
"Now, is every single one of you in agreement with this competition?" He asked and Prince Victor was the first to speak up.
"Father, I have no problem at all with it or doubt your decision about it but I do not wish to participate in the competition. I have no interest at all in becoming the crown prince and would like to support my brother instead."
"And why do you think you're not worthy of becoming the crown prince?" The king probed further.
"I am still very young, father and I have so many plans for myself already. I honestly believe my brother is the best person for this position." Prince Victor insisted so the king had no choice than to agree with him.
Prince William, Owen and Lucas all agreed that they also had no interest in participating in the competition so everything was narrowed down to three princes.
"I am very much interested in the competition , your majesty and I look forward to becoming the crown prince." Prince Arthur spoke up so confidently even without being asked.
Everyone turned to look at him, surprised at how confident he sounded. Prince Frederick scoffed inwardly at him while Prince Nolan simply shot him a glare.
"It is settled then, Prince Nolan, Prince Frederick and Prince Arthur will be the ones participating in the competition and whoever wins becomes the crown prince. I will ensure the competition is fair and everyone stands a chance so you should all give it your best." The king declared.
As soon as that was settled, Princess Anya escorted her father out of the room while the princes all headed out but Prince Arthur remained behind, Prince Nolan noticed him and waited right outside the door for him.
"You were joking about participating in the competition right?" Prince Nolan, who was leaning against the wall and waiting for Prince Arthur to step out, said as soon as he did.
Prince Arthur had expected to piss him off but he didn't expect to be so openly confronted that quickly.
"And what makes you think I was?" Prince Arthur asked with a raised brow.
"You don't stand a chance at all and you know that, you should spare us all the wasted effort by just voluntarily dropping out like the rest." He responded spitefully before he pushed himself off the wall and walked away.
Prince Nolan retreated to his mother's room and wasn't surprised to find his brothers already there, informing the Queen of everything that had happened at the meeting.
"I heard the bastard wants to compete." Queen Marina scoffed out loud, "he should know better than that. His mother was nothing more than a foot maid that somehow managed to seduce the king, he has no one at all to back him up in the court and he doesn't even stand a chance against you." She added.
"You should have heard and seen just how confident he was, mother, one would have thought he was already the crown prince." Prince Owen snickered and the others chuckled.
"He must have forgotten his place. He should be grateful that I even let him stay in the palace," Queen Marina joined in, "becoming the crown prince," she scoffed, "in his wildest dreams."
"The bastard son wants to be the crown prince." Prince Williams and Lucas mocked as they burst out laughing while Prince Nolan remained silent. Queen Marina noticed he had not said a word since he stepped in and got worried.
"Are you alright? You haven't said anything since you walked in?" She asked, her tone laced with worry as she reached out to touch him.
Prince Nolan sighed heavily before he opened his mouth to speak,
"It troubles me, mother."
"What troubles you?"
"Prince Arthur." He replied and she frowned lightly.
"Don't let him get to you son, he is nothing compared to you. You're the future king and the Crown Prince of the kingdom of Wales. He has always been strong headed and a delinquent so you should know he is just desperate to get some attention with this, nothing more."
"Exactly mother, that is exactly why I am worried. He is arrogant and strong willed, he has never gone down easily before, not even when everyone bullied him in the palace, he still stood his ground so what makes us so sure that he won't do the same with the competition? Something about the way he sounded just doesn't sit well with me, mother and I think we should keep an eye on him, just to be sure. It's not like he stands a chance against me but I wouldn't be taking any chances with this, I must and will win this competition." Prince Nolan suggested and the Queen agreed.
"That won't be a problem at all, just promise me you will take good care of yourself and focus on only yourself. No one should have the ability to make my son worry," she reached out to stroke his hair lovingly and he smiled at her even though his mind was still not at ease.
The Queen sent for a guard almost immediately and her trusted bodyguard walked into the room with his head bowed.
"Your majesty, you sent for me?"
"Yes, James, I want you to keep a very close eye on Prince Arthur, everything he does and whoever he meets with. I want you to tell me every single thing he does for the next couple of days until the competition is over, is that clear?" She instructed and James nodded.
"Of course, your majesty."
Prince Nolan excused himself to get some rest while his brothers continued to play around with their mother. He returned to his room and a few minutes after he walked in, a soft knock came from behind the door, just before his own personal bodyguard, Reece, walked in.
"Your highness, she is ready." Reece said with his head bowed and Prince Nolan smiled, his eyes sparking with some sort of darkness in them.
"Do I need to remind you about what you must do?" Prince Nolan asked and Jeremy shook his head.
"No your highness, I will ensure no one finds out and whatever happens never leaves the room." He responded and Prince Nolan smiled devilishly.
"Perfect, now lead the way." He commanded and Reece turned around and walked out of the room. Prince Nolan followed closely behind him.
Reece led the prince to an entirely different part of the palace that was rarely used due to how enormous the mansion was. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a key then he proceeded to unlock a room and stepped aside for the prince to walk in.
The room was mostly except for a giant bed and the sight of a young girl tied to the bed, she was blindfolded and gagged in a very extreme manner.
The prince grunted his approval as Reece shut the door and waited outside the door while maintaining a little distance from it.
The girl tied to the bed began to thrash around the moment she realized someone was in the room. She struggled against the strong ropes that were used to tie her down but it was of no use.
She was helpless, just the way he liked it.
"Fighting it only makes this so much fun for me." He said excitedly, a maniacal glint in his eyes..
She froze when she heard his voice and by the time she recovered from it, her entire body was shaking in fear and her heart was pounding against her chest without control.
Prince Nolan climbed on top of her with a smile on his face, his eyes glued to her lips as he imagined what it would feel like to have himself buried inside her mouth.
He suddenly grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked it back. She let out a painful scream but it only came out muffled due to the piece of cloth that was trapped in her mouth. He yanked off the blindfold, along with the gag and saw her eyes staring up at him, wide-eyed in fear.
Her body shuddered underneath his. The fear was what he loved, it was what kept him coming back for more.
"If you so much as breathe a word about this to anyone or make a single sound, I will kill you myself." He threatened and the young girl's eyes glistened with tears.
"Now, get on your knees," he snapped as he let go of her hair and released her hands from the ropes.
Without another word, the girl knelt down on the floor while Prince Nolan remained seated, before she could reach out to touch him, he grabbed her forcefully again and landed a heavy slap on her face before pushing her face down to his bulge that was poking out from underneath his briefs.
Roughly, he pulled out his erect cock and forced it down her throat, watching her gag and thrash around in panic and fear as he forced himself on her without mercy.
"Come on, take it all down like the good little whore you are." He sneered, moaning and groaning in ecstasy at the sight before him.
Soon enough, the young girl was forced to adjust to his ruthless demands and he was now forcing her mouth up and down his shaft with a painful grip on her hair, just the way he liked it and he threw his head back and let out a soft moan.
With the whole thing going on and that damn Prince Arthur getting on his nerves, he needed a release.
