SERAPHINE'S P O V
I stepped away from the window, i didn't even notice that i was crying. I ran with my blurred vision from all the tears. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I should have expected this, he is a prince after all he can have many wives and even mistresses. But why does it hurt so much. I hit something solid and fell back to the ground, i wiped a few tears from my eyes and looked up, it was the king of this kingdom. What is he doing here i am sure he hosted that party, what is he doing outside. "Sorry, i didn't see you coming" i stood up from the ground and dusted the dirt from my gown. "And who might you be, beautiful?" I am already feeling irritated by his presence. I always disliked this king, he is dirty, he owned all the prostitution networks around all the kingdoms.
"Princess seraphine, your highness. Prince keal's wife" i courtesied a little to pay my respects to him. " Oh, you are the unfortunate princess who married prince kael!" He said with contempt in his voice " such a waste of beauty. Married off to a devil" anger filled my heart
"Do not ever call my husband a devil again, or else you will have me to contend with" i walked closer to him and and said with all the anger i was hiding inside me.
But wait a minute, why am i even defending kael, he cheated on me and had sex with the dirty king's sister. But he is still my husband and only i have the right to insult him if i want to but nobody else.
"My husband is a good man, all the rumors said about him might be true but he is still one of the best men i have ever met in this life" i continued and pushed him aside. I was about to walk away when he spoke behind me " do you know that your so-called good husband is in there now having the time of his life with my sister" more anger grew inside of me….
"And who said i am with your sister, Arid?" I turned and found the owner of the voice, kael, walking towards me with his hands resting behind him. What did he mean by who said he is with the princess. I clearly saw him with her.
"Oh, kael no need to pretend because your wife is here, i hosted the party, i was there and i saw the both of you go into one of the private rooms,....."
"Yes, and your sister is on the floor of that same room crying her eyes out.. or maybe she is in her room now. Allow me ask the guard i put in charge of her safety." Keal, cut arid off mid-sentence.
"What do you mean my sister is crying, what did you do to her" Arid said through gritted teeth, he was clearly angry "nothing really, i guess rejection hurts like a bitch. I'm sure you know how it feels, right" keal smirked and then came over to me. I stayed quiet through out their little banter. "Shall we go back to our room, love" he asked taking my hand in his. He ignored Arid's seething figure behind and we went back to our room.
"Let go off me, you cheating pig.
We have not been here up to a day and you're already playing with women here already" i raised my voice at him immediately we got into the room.
"Calm down and listen to me, will you" he tried coming close to me, i moved back. He sighed "yes, i went into the private room with katrina, but only because i needed to clear my head and i didn't want to vent my anger on you, i did not do anything with her, i promise" a part of me believed him but the too rational and stubborn part of me refused to believe him
"And why should i believe you. Why are you even explaining to me, you are a prince you can have as many wives nd mistresses as you like yo can go back to princess katrina, she is a lot more beautiful than i am" i turned and faced my back towards him.
"Okay, if you say so" after he said that i heard the door unlock what just happened, did he really leave to go back to katrina? I broke down in tears, it hurts.
KING ARID'S P. O. V
I will kill kael if he dared hurt my sister i swore to myself. I hurried back to the party and made my way to the private room quickly "katrina….." i called but it was empty.
"Where is my sister" i asked the guard i found closest to the private room.
"A man carried her to her room, he was the man that came earlier with prince keal of salem, my king" the guard reported quickly, his voice quivering in fear, probably because of my tone.
I quickly left there and hurried over to my sister's chamber
"Katri.." i stopped talking midway when i saw her sleeping figure on the bed and a maid beside her wiping her face. "What happened to her" i asked as quietly as i could. "My king, prince kael turned her down, she had been crying since then, she stopped when she was brought back here, i was just cleaning her face." The court maiden bowed deeply.
My face darkened kael, you have made my sister shed tears, i will make you regret this. I came out ofthe room to allow katrina rest more.
"Draco….' i called to the shadows. Draco is a mercenary whom i had spared when he and his band came to attack my sister, i made him my personal shadow guard bound by oath since then, cos he had a lot of potential.
"Yes, my lord" he came down on one knee, portraying respect.
"Write a letter to the crown prince kanan of salem; tell him to meet with me at the entrance of silia forest at night two days from now, i have something he will be interested in" i walked away with a smirk. 'The end is nigh 'shadow prince' or whatever they call you, no one hurts my sister and lives.'
