NIGHT★CARL’S ROOM**
“Did something happened? You’ve been drinking” Jimmy asked and sat down on the seat next to Carl
He also poured himself a drink
“Must something happen before I drink?” Carl asked
“Well it’s unlike you” Jimmy replied
“I’m fine,,just stressed a little” Carl replied
Jimmy grinned
“Did something happened between you and the princess?” He asked and Carl looked up
“What are you talking about?” He asked
“I don’t know,I’m just saying” Jimmy smiled and started drinking
“Just mind your business” Carl scoffed
“Yes commander” Jimmy winked and Carl rolled his eyes
They suddenly heard a knock on the door and exchanged glances
Jimmy stood up to take the door,revealing Eleanor
“Oh Jimmy…you stay here?” She asked
“Yeah,you know my name and I don’t know yours” Jimmy muttered
“I’m Eleanor” She smiled
“Why are you here?” Jimmy asked
“Is Carl in? I’m here for him” Eleanor replied
“Carl? Why?? Why not me?” Jimmy rushed his question
“The thing is…..”
“What is it?” Carl interrupted Eleanor and pulled Jimmy in before closing the door
“Oh,the princess want you to come over to her suite” Eleanor said
“Okay” Carl muttered
Eleanor smiled a little before walking away
Cark sighed and also left
Jimmy opened the door and scoffed
“Does she smile at every Füçking guy she see?” He scoffed again and went his own way

Carl stopped in front of Lisa’s room and knocked
The door opened and Lisa came out
“Come in” She said and Carl went in
Lisa closed the door
“Why am I here? Do you have anything you want me to do?” Carl asked
“I want to apologize” Lisa Said and Carl took a glance at her
“I’m sorry for slapping you earlier,I was just carried away by anger,I’m sorry” She said and touched his cheek
“It’s okay,I’m fine” Carl said and she dropped her hand
“If that’s all,I will take my leave” Carl bowed shortly and made to leave
Lisa immediately blocked his way and their eyes met
“What do you….” He stopped talking when Lisa moved closer to him and touched his cheek
She pulled him down for her size and almost kissed him but Carl turned his face and she kissed his cheek instead
Lisa moved back immediately looking surprised
“Carl…..” She called in a whisper
“I’m sorry princess,I can’t do this.” He said
“Why? Because of my brother?? Or who?? Mother? Just tell me why you can’t,isn’t it obvious that I’m in love with you?? What else do you want me to do to make you see that I have crazy feelings for you……”
“Princess…..”
“Call me Lisa!!” She snapped
“Are you scared that my brother will be angry with you?? Huh??”
“I don’t feel the same” Carl said and Lisa’s eyes widened
“Huh??”
“I’m not in love with you princess,so can you please stop wh@tëver you feel for me? Bye” Carl said and immediately went out
“Hey!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!” Lisa screamed and broke into tears
The maids rushed in
“My princess….”
“Stay away from me!!” She yelled and continue crying

SHOOTING RANGE**
“Wow,they are both good” Adelaide said beside Jimmy as they watched King Lucian and Liam both shooting the arrows
“Yes,do you wanna bet on who’s going to loose the target first?” Jimmy asked and Adelaide faced him
“What will I get in return if I win?” She asked
“What do you want?” Jimmy asked
“I will tell you after winning” Adelaide smiled
“Then,let’s go”Jimmy said
“The prince will loose first” Adelaide said
“Seriously? How can you say that so easily?” Jimmy scoffed
“Hey calm down okay? Just watch” Adelaide smiled
They kept on watching and suddenly Liam lose the target
“Yes!!!!!!” Adelaide shouted,jumping happily,she faced Jimmy
“Did you see that?” She said and Jimmy chuckled
“Why are you looking so happy about it”he muttered
“Don’t even try to fail your promise” Adelaide frowned
“What do you want?” Jimmy asked
“Apples,in the garden. You can climb the tree right? The red apples,I want them so badly but I can’t pluck them no matter how hard I try” Adelaide pouted
“That’s the easiest thing in the whole world,expect them tomorrow” Jimmy winked
“Thank you” Adelaide said
**
Lucian on the other hand wasn’t concentrating anymore
He kept on glancing at Adelaide and Jimmy every minutes wondering what they are discussing to make her so happy.
It was as if he has never seen her smiling and happy that way
“Your maid seems to be having a great time with Jimmy” Liam said and Lucian faced him with a scoff
“Great time indeed” He said
Liam chuckled
King Lucian looked back again and this time Jimmy touched Adelaide’s hair
His eyes grew wide and he immediately dropped the bow in his hand
“I’m tired already,let’s talk tomorrow” He said and tapped Liam’s shoulder before walking away
“Seriously?” Liam chuckled watching him as he walked out and Adelaide ran after him immediately
**
King Lucian kept on walking without waiting while Adelaide tried her best to catch up with him
‘Why is he looking so angry? Did he fought with the prince?’ Adelaide thought inwardly
They finally got to the suite,Adelaide closed the door and turned to see Lucian looking at her already,she moved back
“My king….”
“Do you go around acting cute when you’re together with everyone?” Lucian asked
“Huh?”
“What were you two talking about? Why did you even stand beside him in the first place?? And why did he touched your hair??” He rushed the questions and Adelaide was confused
“There was something on my hair and he helped……”
“You should have just left it on your hair” King Lucian snapped and Adelaide bite her lip
“I’m sorry your majesty” She muttered
“I guess I should start keeping you beside me from now on” Lucian scoffed
‘Seriously? And he has an unborn child with his mistress??’ Adelaide thought,while staring into his eyes
“What,do you have anything to say?” King Lucian asked
“No your majesty,I will just take my leave” Adelaide mumbled and turned to go
“Don’t move” He stopped her
She faced him back
“You’re sleeping here,right by my side” King Lucian said and Adelaide’s eyes went wide immediately
