Chapter 77: 77; Floored

Lilac

I was nervous as hell as we left the king’s wing, and I let out a sigh of relief once we were in the open air. I had been so frightened that the prince was going to attack the king, and I had been so scared about that because I just knew that couldn’t end well.

The prince glanced down at me and I felt butterflies dance around the insides of my stomach when his hand stroked my hair.

"What’s wrong? You feel tense," the prince spoke as his eyes searched my face.

"I- I thought you were gonna fight the king, I was so scared," I admitted and the sides of his lips twitched as he kept regarding me.

"Why? That’s what you want?"

I horridly shook my head, "what? No! I don’t want that, that would undoubtedly cause more problems; especially for you. I don’t want that."

His eyes softened as he kept staring down at me.

"I can easily take down my father and I don’t care about the throne. But there’s something he has over my head, which is why I unfortunately can’t put an end to him just yet." He revealed and my eyes widened. First, I was so shocked that he just revealed that to me on a whim.

"What’s that which he’s holding over your head?"

"My mother and sister. He says he has them locked away, and he threatens to kill them if I try to step out of line too much," he revealed and my mouth opened as I gaped at him, that was definitely not what I expected him to reveal at all.

"B- but how? Are they not his wife and children?" I whispered quietly but in the next moment, I remembered my own situation, whereby my father had ordered the death of all his sons because he didn’t want a prophecy to come to pass.

Sloan shrugged. "My father doesn’t care at all." Sloan said as we resumed back to his own wing.

"Would your father not be mad that you killed one of his guards and left a warning for him in the guards?" I asked quietly after a few minutes.

Sloan snorted. "He’s always mad so there won’t be a difference, and as for how he’ll react to the warning I left him, he’ll definitely be grateful that I left that warning instead of seeing him directly." _{f(r)eew(e)bnovel.(c)o(m)}

I didn’t know what he meant by the end of his sentence but I nodded anyway.

Once we were in his bedroom again, I soaked a towel in warm water and used it to clean up his busted hand which he used to punch that guard that he killed. At the reminder of that guard that he killed, a tiny shiver slither down my spine. I was leaning over him, dabbing at the wound when he suddenly tagged me down so I straddled over his laps.

"Aren’t you scared? You just watched me kill someone after all." He asked, his eyes curious as he stared at me, and I noticed that they were back to their normal color once again. One of these days, I was gonna ask him what it means when his eyes change colors.

"No, I’m not," I responded as I shook my head.

He arched a brow at me and I blushed a little. Okay, maybe I was a little scared, but that was more than logical, and the fear I was feeling was very subtle, and not because he’d hurt me on purpose, but if he hurt me mistakenly.

"You aren’t scared that I’d one day kill you like I did that guard?" He asked and I shook my head again.

"The guard you killed tonight was because of me, so I’m not scared, I’m just so grateful. I feel so touched. No one has ever cared for me like this before." I admitted and his eyes softened as he tugged me into a hug. I clutched him tightly as I melted into his chest, not wanting to leave this moment at all. His hands felt so good around me and I feel like I’m presently in a state where no one can hurt me.

"You have me now... I’ll always care for you and protect you," he murmured into my hair and I felt my eyes sting with a little moisture as I hugged him tighter.

"Promise?" I asked after the hug broke.

He nodded once as he joined our tourney’s together. "Promise, kitten,"

This time, I was the one who went in for a hug, and I held onto him so tightly, never wanting to let go again.

After a while of us just hugging, he was about to see me off.

As I slipped my shoes on this time, I realized that I didn’t want to leave: I just wanna stay here in his arms and talk about a lot of random things till I fall asleep. Then I could get awoken with those kisses of his that felt like drugs were in them.

But sadly, I still had duties as slaves.

"Now, you can come visit me whenever you want. I’m very certain my father won’t order his guards to go mess with you again. Even if he tried, his guards would rather he killed them before they dare to cross me again," the prince explained and I nodded, feeling warm all over.

This afternoon, I was so dejected. And now, Sloan had taken care of the issue and now everything was taken care of. Which means I worried and worried over nothing, and now I feel so glad that I decided to sneak in here to tell him why I won’t come to see him again, instead of just disappearing without any prior warning.

As the prince held the door and I stepped out, he grabbed my hand once his door was closed, then we began to head in the slave quarters position.

Halfway to the quarters, he suddenly stopped snd turned towards me before speaking.

"I was just thinking... would you like to stay in my room, moving forward?"
