Episode: 04

A young man with black curly hair walked into the room holding a tray full of meat and fruits.

“Your highness, dinner.” He said.

“Leave it there Adrian. Not in the mood.” The person referred to as your highness said.

“Yes your highness, I shall convey you good well message to lady Patricia.” Adrian said with a grin.

The prince looked clearly displeased at the mention of lady Patricia.

“ I see you no longer need a tounge.” He threatened Adrian who didn’t look one bit scared.

“No no, I do need my tounge . How else would I tell tales. But your highness, you need food to help you heal.” He said as he began setting the table for the prince.

He then dropped the lamp in his hand on the table as the room had no other lamps.

“ you just came back from battle and you sustained quite a number of serious injuries. The least you could do is eat well to get better.” Adrian went on

“My good health is only for the kings use, so why should I ?” The prince said even though he already walked to the table and took his seat.

“Your highness-“

“ you may go.” The prince interrupted him.

Adrian bowed and left the room.

The prince features came int view as soon as he sat down

Hair as dark as the night looked wet as though he just took a bath, red heart shaped inviting lips that’s seems to draw you in, a noise so pointed it looked like blade, a chiseled jaw that framed his beauty and ……..

The highlight of his devilish handsome face……

His golden eye……

Same eyes that made him an outcast.

He drew up his hood and began eating, light had became an enemy too him and he had started to detest the light.

After a few bites, he stood up and walked out of his room towards the stairs that led to the living room.

The whole house was dark and silent like him, but he knew his way around and so he walked ahead .

Getting to the living room, he picked up a lamp and flicked his fingers. The lamp instantly caught flame and the portrait on the wall could be seen.

A beautiful woman with a stunning beauty that looked like the exact copy of the prince was smiling gracefully with a little boy in her arms.

The boy in the photo was himself……but they looked nothing alike.

That boy was smiling but him………

He couldn’t remember when last he smiled…….

*******************************

“Your highness, a call from his majesty.” Adrian voice came through the next morning.

The prince who just took a shower and was getting dressed didn’t respond.

He put on his hooded shirt and black pants. He pushed his long black hair behind his ears and wore his hood then he walked to the door

“What does he want this time?” He asked as he opened the door

“Nothing of which I know of your highness.” Adrian said as he followed behind the prince who was already walking towards the stairs.

“We’ll then, I hope it’s something worth hearing. Will my brothers also attend?”

“…………yes , your highness.” Adrian said hesitantly as his brothers weren’t really a good topic for the prince.

The prince stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him with this mesmerizing eyes…….

“Did the messenger look somewhat unusual?” He asked

“ not really, your highness. But he did look somewhat happy?” Adrain replied not too sure.

The prince sighed and walked ahead
