Chap 3
The prince has been given his own room to rest after a long day. Anselm lays down in the bed and stares up the ceiling.
Gabriel
*throws a pillow at Anselm* What is it you're thinking about, my Prince?
Prince Anselm M/l
*smiles* That servant boy...
Gabriel
The one who nearly put an arrow through your skull?
Prince Anselm M/l
*sits up* It was not him, it was the little girl.
Gabriel
*raises an eyebrow* You seem so sure.
Prince Anselm M/l
*shrugs* wasn't it obvious, the little girl was the one with the bow in her hand and by the speed that he arrived after the arrow was shot, it only proves that he was not the one who shot it.
Gabriel
*smiles* Is this you just being a detective or is there something behind it?
Prince Anselm M/l
*smirks* What do you think?
Gabriel
*sighs* I think, you should focus on making this alliance work. Your father has trusted you with this and he expects results.
Prince Anselm M/l
*lays again on the bed* I know.
Gabriel
No, it seems like you don't know just how much your father is relying on this alliance.
Gabriel
I hope you won't mess it up with your silly and ridiculous desires. Marry the princess and take her back home.
Prince Anselm M/l
*frowns* I don't even like the Princess and I don't think she likes me either, she barely glanced at me earlier.
Gabriel
You're not marrying for love, there's no need for you two to like each other.
Prince Anselm M/l
Does my father really need the gold so much that he has to have me marry across the sea?
Gabriel
It's called business, both sides benefits from this.
Prince Anselm M/l
Why can't they just do a proper trade alliance then, spare us all the trouble.
Gabriel
*frowns* Are you really so dumb or are you just pretending to be?
Gabriel
You know so well how your father has trust issues, he would never trust someone who is across the continent. He needs something to hold on to for collateral damage.
Prince Anselm M/l
You and the king of Valtoria are both disgusting people.
Gabriel
*closes his eyes* I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
Anselm's mind drifts off to the servant again and he finds his heart hammering faster than it has ever before
Prince Anselm M/l
That servant...
Gabriel
*confused* Which servant?
Prince Anselm M/l
The one with arrow incident.
Prince Anselm M/l
I want him.
Gabriel
Um…what do you mean?
Prince Anselm M/l
I want him to serve me, do whatever it takes to bring that boy to me.
Prince Anselm M/l
*seriously* It's an order!
Gabriel
*bows his head* Yes, your majesty.
Prince Anselm M/l
*smiles to himself* 💭 His face is so beautiful, I can stare at him for an eternity. What is this am feeling for a mere servant boy? Why does he make my heart flatter?
Authy Ditty
Do we have to tell you dear Anselm that you're in....😁😁😁
