The physician dropped a jar on the table and Xander raised his gaze at her.
” Here is the jar. It contains around three pills, take them whenever you want to backlash your offenders”
” Just three pills?. I want to keep backlashing them till they go extinct” He spat.
The woman chuckled.
” This can be dangerous to you as well so you should be careful. Just take in one pill” She said and Xander grabbed the jar.
” I need to leave now” He scoffed and started to move towards the door.
” Don’t forget our deal, Your highness” She said.
” Deal?” He raised his brow. She slowly glared at him. ” Oh. The deal.” He nodded in realisation.
He left afterwards and the woman slowly pulled out the mask off her face as she released a low sigh.
” Master” Her worker called and the physician turned to look at her
” What is it?”
” He wants to hurt Ian. Why would you help him?”
” We had a deal. But I’m sure he won’t hurt Ian.” She said and walked away, leaving the worker wondering what the deal was.

Aurora quickly leaned away from Ian, widening her eyes in surprise.
” H..how….did…you.. ”
” You should stop trying to make me love you cos I can’t. I can’t love someone that I don’t like!” He said.
” But we’ve been friends before hani came along. You haven’t even spent two weeks with her yet and now you’re loving her already!. What about me?”
” My heart kept seeking for her and I knew she was meant to be with me right from the time I saw her.” He said and stood up, looking serious.
” Go look for your charming prince, Aurora. It’s definitely not me.”
” But…”
” Hush!. There’s no But to do this. Don’t try to make me like ever again” He said and tried to leave but Aurora caught his robe.
” Wait, Ian!” She said and he turned to look at her eyes slowly.
” Please hug me before you leave. Just a hug, that’s all I want” She pleaded.
He let out a sigh and pulled her around into a hug. After a while, He tried to pull away but she tightened her arms around him.
” Aurora i need to go back to the field!” He said.
” No, stay a bit longer, love” She smiled.
” Our training master will kill me if I trip into the field late!, I have to go now!” He said.
” Don’t worry, I’d talk to him to let you skip today” She smiled and raised her head to look at him. ” You’re literally the most cutest and handsome guy I’ve seen, Ian. I feel so comfortable around your body like this.”
The door pushed open and Aurora pushed Ian to the bed and she fell flatly on him on purpose.
” Aw!” She Mõ@ned, pretending to be intimate.
Hani slowly walked in carrying her usual pedicure box with her and Ian leaned his elbow on the bed, widening his eyes.
” H..hani?” He called, the bump in his throat moving.
She looked up at Ian and slowly lowered her chin sadly, her lips slowly made a pout.
” Hani wait. I..”
” I’ll come when you’re less busy” She said and turned around, walking out of the room quickly.
Ian glared at Aurora.
” I knew you had a motive. Get Lost!.” He spat and threw her off the bed with an invisible force.
He left the room and met hani walking away.
” Hani” He called and started coming after her and Hani started to run as her hair merged with the tears on her cheeks.
Soon, he was able to catch up with her and he stood in front of her quickly. He stared at her face and was startled, she saw she was crying and her face looking so messily cute.
” Fav” He called, cupping her cheeks.
” Don’t touch me, Don’t!” She smacked his hands and Ian pulled away, looking at her seriously.
” Hani. It’s not what you think.”
” I feel like I’m not enough for you and now you’re laying with Aurora!” She said.
” I swear I wasn’t. As soon as you knocked, she pushed him to the bed and I found myself falling. Believe me hani, it was staged. Remember she’s trying ways to get to me, right?”
” I’m sure if you weren’t in her room, she wouldn’t have done that.”
” Okay, I’m sorry for going into her room. But believe me, Nothing happened between us.” He said and she rubbed her cheeks hardly.
” I’m so…Ugh…so disappointed after seeing you in that position with her. I’m going over to tell Vivian…infact, I h@të you now. Bye, let’s not ever cross paths.” She started to walk away and Ian slowly looked around her. ” Your face stinks, your lip is worse…Ew…I’d never kiss you!. Don’t even try to make us come back” She blabbed and Ian smiled.
He silently picked her from behind, taking her in a bridal style.
” My little potato chips is a talkative”
” Ugh. Just drop me now, Right now I say!” She ordered.
” Where?. On my bed?” He asked, teasing her.
” No. Here. On the floor!” She yelled, sounding really serious.
He sighed and pulled her gently to the floor before trapping her to the wall.
” I’m really sorry, hani. Okay?”
She lowered her chin, crossing her arm on her chest.
” Sorry is my foot” She hissed.
He smiled and adjusted the messy hair on her face towards the back of her ear
He kissed her eyes, then her cheeks, he kissed her nose and started doing it faster all over my face.
Soon, he stopped to looked at her.
” If I can apologise in a million ways, I swear I’d do it hani. Just know that what happened today, It wouldn’t happen again, I promise” He said and hani finally looked up at him.
” It’s fine.” She said.
He leaned slowly to capture her lips but he stopped cos the sound of fast footsteps was approaching.
He quickly pecked her lips and leaned away from her, causing her to look so anxious at him.
” Return back to the girls camp. Use the back door” He said.
” Huh?. Why?”
” Xander” He said and hani heart skipped. She started to walk away quickly but she stopped.
” What about you?. What you going to do?” She asked.
” Don’t worry, I’ll be fine” He said.
” Ok. Bye, bye” She waved and ran away as fast as she could.
Ian started to walk down the corridor and he met Xander coming along.
He looked away and pretended to walk on his lane but xander halted, making him suddenly halt too.
” How’s your day going?” Xander asked, smirking teasingly.
” My day is going good cos yours is not” Ian said.
” Your day won’t go well soon, Ian. I promise you”
” We’ll see about that” Ian spat and continued to walk away down the remaining meters in the corridor.
Xander stretched out his arm and a force pushed Ian off his feet, causing him to fall.
He smiled and started to walk forward. He took the remaining two pills to feel more powerful,going against the physician orders.
Immediately he took it, he felt much more intrigued.
” Ian” Xander smiled and Ian slowly stood up on his feet, looking at him indifferently.
” What did you just do?”
” This?” He said and stretched out his arm, pushing him to the wall carelessly and Ian’s back soaked with blood immediately.
He took him off the wall with the same force and threw him on the tiles.
” Ugh” Ian groaned as his body smashed through the palace vase, his immune slowly started to fade.
” I thought you said you were powerful. Why Don’t you start let’s see!.” He spat and squatted before him, glaring at him.
” I have what you have now so be careful cos I might snatch the last thing from you that I don’t have”
” You dare not touch hani or hurt her!” Ian said, fighting with his breath.
” I’ll f*ck her hard in your presence. Just watch” He spat and Ian eyes slowly got wide.

Hani walked into her room and met salome on the bed, with all her dresses.
” What are you doing?” Hani gasped.
” I saw this clothes lined up in the rope last night and since it had no owner, I’m tearing them to use for a scarf” She smiled.
” T..th….that’s my dress!” She panicked, pointing at the dress.
” Your dress?. Your dress isn’t as ugly as this, is it?. At first, I thought it was rags”
” But It’s mine. That literally the only dresses I have!” Hani said, her brows creasing up together.
” Oh, so it was yours. sorry. You can have them” Salome threw it on her body
Hani picked it up and saw that it was impossible to patch them. It was completely torn to the last piece.
She started crying as she glared at her with h@të.
” How dare you!. How dare you tear off the only clothes I have!. You knew they were my clothes but you were only being so heartless!” She cried.
” I was unaware. Afterall, Your clothes were always looking like rags from the 90’s anyways” She spat and Hani got so red with anger on her face.
She picked up the scissors from the bed and immediately went forward, cutting off a long, full piece of Salome’s hair.
” How dare you!!” Salome shouted, standing up on her feet.
” And how dare you tear off my clothes!!. Do you expect me to walk naked” Hani yelled back.
Salome tried to grab the scissors from her and hani pusher her away.
” Ugh, Salome!. Just stay far away from me!!!” Hani yelled and salome mysteriously vanished into thin air.
Hani quickly fell back on her butt in fear .
Her eyes widened for a moment as she looked into nothingness for a few seconds.

*FIELD*
Vivian halted in her step and quickly ran up to Ian who had been waiting for her.
” Ian. Your…back…is bloody” She gasped, covering her lips.
” Just…forget about what you’re saying. it has healed up already. There’s a much bigger problem” He said.
” W…what is it?”
” Xander is probably the crowned prince. He might not have the birthmark but he has powers.” He said.
” What are you saying?” Vivian asked and Ian took in a rough sigh, looking around the field before turning his gaze at her.
” Look. Where’s hani?. You need to make sure she’s in the camp and going no where for now”
” Why?. Xander is after her?”
” He’s literally planning to___Just make sure she’s not leaving the camp okay, and make sure she’s fine too. I don’t want any harm close to her”
” Don’t worry, I’ll watch over her. But I don’t understand the part you talked about xander having powers”
” Xander used his powers on me. He literally almost killed me when I was at the palace.”
” Ian. What are you saying?”
” I’m not running insane. I’m saying what I saw.” He said and looked up, above her. ” I have to go stay with hani myself.” He said and turned his back walking away quickly.
Vivian turned around to find out what he saw and she met the royal physician standing there.
” Huh?” Vivian looked closer. She saw the late queen. She rubbed her eyes again and found no one standing there.
” What was that?!”

≈XANDER’S CHAMBER ≈
Xander pinched his eyes close has they did an artificial birth mark for him on his chest.
The three Queens, Lisa, Xora’s and Erica were standing a far watching.
” Do you think he really needs this?” Erica asked.
” It’s his choice, Xora. Since his powers have finally generated, the mark must have been delayed. So an artificial one should just do the trick” Lisa said.
” And You think everyone will believe he’s still the crown prince with this stupid trick?” Xora spat.
” If you’re not comfortable watching my son have this mark then you can get out of here and go meet your own son!” Lisa spat.
” Of course i will. Bunch of mother chicken” Xora spat and walked out.
” Did she just call us mother chicken” Erica asked.
” Ignore her” Lisa said, palming her shoulder.
The workers drew a very fine scar on his chest with a sharp blade.
” Argg!!” Xander grunted, grabbing the chairs tightly till it broke.
” It’s done” The worker said, palming the spot with a tissue. ” It would take few hours to heal up tho” He said.
Xander finally stood up and stood by the mirror, staring at the scar with a satisfying smirk.
” There’s no difference to I and Ian now. Many would be confused” He smiled and wore up his robe immediately.
He turned to Lisa.
” I would be performing a ceremony to crown my Queen tomorrow. I want you to be in charge of that activities, Mom” He said
” You’re Queen?.” Lisa gasped.
” You’ve gotten a Queen?”
” Yes, Hani. She’s my Queen” He said proudly and the other two threw a gasp.

Ian knocked on the door to hani’s room and she opened quickly, seeing him stand there.
” Huh? Ian. Who let you into the camp?” She smiled.
” I already told Vivian” He said.
” Oh” She said and closed back the door. Ian took off his robe and hani saw the blood on the robe.
” Ian!!” She gasped.
” It’s fine. I’m not hurt” He said.
She quickly ran to stand in front of him.
” Don’t tell me you’re not hurt!. I swear I h@të seeing you bleed all the time. it’s so unfair!. What did you do you to deserve all this, huh?. Why are they so wicked to you like this?!” She yelled, with tears on her lid .
” I’m fine” He said, his breath scorching hard as he moved closer, painstakingly.
” Ian?” She called and the robe was down on the ground as he stumbled on her.
Hani pinched her eyes close thinking he was about to fall on her, but he had placed his arm on the wall, guarding her.
” The arrow” He breathed hardly.
” What arrow?” She asked.
She turned around and saw a arrow behind his back, stuck in his flesh. She looked up and saw the palace guard standing by the door.
” Seize her!”
