COPY AND SEE MY HELL⚠️
★★★★★
Xander cloth immediately snapped into thin air and everyone eyes went dilated, leaving them in serious shock.
All the maids started to run out of the room quickly, leaving only the royals and Elder there.
? Oh My God!!!
? What in this world!!!
? This is not good to see!!
Salome fell on the floor as she couldn’t contain her laughter anymore.
” Where are the print press?. They need to keep this in record. Haha!!. The first king to go naked in a ceremony, Hahaha” She screamed, laughing really hard.
Xander immediately covered his member properly with smoke running of his ears.
” Guards!!” He ordered and the guard immediately stood in front of him, all of them staring at the roof.
” Take that Bîtch and beat the craziness out of her!!” He ordered.
” What!!!” Salome gasped.
They immediately grabbed her before she could move.
” When I say beat the hell, make sure I don’t hear of her existence till I die!!” He yelled.
” Yes, Your highness!” They nodded and started to pull her away.
” Let me go!. You dare not touch me!!. Stop!!. Xander I’m carrying your baby. They’ll kill your baby too!!” She screamed as five guards pulled her out forcefully.
Xander glared at the rest, still covering his member with shame.
” What are you all standing there looking at!. Get your king clothes to wear!!” He spat.
The workers around quickly brought in his robe and he threw it at him quickly.
” Close your Eyes!!” He yelled and everyone quickly stared at the floor, giving him some space.
He quickly put on his robe and turned to look at Queen Lisa.
” Where’s Hani!!” His fist grew cold as many wicked thought ran through his mind.
” She’s upstairs, Xander” She replied.
Xander grinned darkly and started to take the stairs with so much aura.
He slipped and fell.
” Ugh!!” He groaned.
Aurora coughed, holding her laughter down there in her throat.
Xander stood up and adjusted his robe.
” Cancel the ceremony!. Everyone should return back to their chamber and pretend like all this never happened today”
” Yes, Your highness!” They nodded and he continued his remaining steps up.

Ian woke up and he leaned on his elbow, looking around.
” I actually napped here?” He asked and a scoff left his lip. He turned to hani and saw she was still fast asleep.
Her hair was partly covering her face and he hadn’t seen so adorable in his life time.
He slowly rubbed her cheeks with his palm, tracing his thumb on it slowly.
” What’s in these big cheeks tho” He smiled and his eyes slowly traced lower to her body but he unfocused it back at her eyes again.
He leaned in and kissed her deeply, and her eyes started to move.
He leaned away and waited till she opened her eyes, staring at him with a smile.
She sat up and puckered a look, throwing her head to a side.
” Ian?. You didn’t take a nap with me?” She asked.
” I just woke up few minutes ago” He said.
She smiled and traced her finger on the scar on his chest before looking at him.
” The birthmark?” She asked.
” It’s ugly, Yea” He covered her eyes but she pulled his hands away.
” No, No.” She giggled. ” It made you look sëxy. I mean…It fit well with your Abs tho” She whispered shyly with red bumps appearing on her cheeks.
” Thanks fav, I guess you’re the first complimenting me on this” He said and pecked her nose.
” Don’t you think the event has began?. They would start coming for me soon” She said.
Ian looked over to the door before staring back at her.
” Should I lock the door?”He asked.
” Huh?. Why?” She blinked.
” I..I..just thought it would be nice if we only remained together here. I mean…just the two of us.”
” Um…Sure” She gave a big nod.
He raised his finger, doing something with it and the lock immediately whined in.
” So we’re alone now” He said, grinning his lower jaw sharply.
Hani scooted forward, looking at him and that one big stare alone struck a sensitivity inside him.
He immediately cupped her face while kissing her really hard, going slow while pulling out.
” Mm..” She had her first Mõ@n.
He kissed her deeply again and Hani couldn’t resist the urge to Mõ@n again.
He pulled away and looked at her. He could feel his body acting weird, wanting her so bad.
” Hani. We shouldn’t continue this. I swear, I’m loosing it. I..I..can’t, I’m f*cking loosing it” He said, letting out hot breath.
” But No one is here. No one is coming to look for me yet” She said desperately, as her heart raced nonstop.
He looked over to the door and he gulped in, his adam apple jerking.
” i think Someone is coming, hani” He said. He climbed off the bed and picked up his robe quickly.
” No wait. Don’t Go!!!. Where are you going?” She asked, standing up.
” Not somewhere far” He said and vanished instantly.
” Wait, take me with you..Ian!!!” She grabbed thin air in her hands. ” Ian!!” She stumped her foot, as tears filled the corner of her pretty eyes.
” How could he leave me here!, How could he!!” She cried loudly, her tears rolling down to her neck.
The door pushed open hardly till the lock broke and Hani met Xander walking in with so much fierce.
She immediately climbed up the large window and sat there.
” So you’ve been here!” Xander gritted.
” Don’t move further!” She said, raising her hand and he abruptly stopped.
” Don’t move further as how?” He asked.
” Cos I’ll jump down this window and I’ll die and you’ll have no way with me anymore!” She said and Xander let out a rich laugh.
” Funny and playful girl” He smirked and tried to move further and her butt slowly slipped forward.
” I’ll….
” Stop it, hani!!” He yelled.
” I swear I’ll jump down this window if you come closer!. Don’t move closer, Don’t!” She yelled with her tiny voice.
” Fine. I won’t come closer” He said, crossing his arm on his chest.
” Go away. Just get Out of here!. Use the door behind you” She yelled.
” This is our wedding night and you’re…
” I’m not yours!. I’m not yours!!, I’ve said it many times, I’m not yours!” She yelled, breathing heavily.
Xander raised his hands to use his powers on her but it reversed and struck him on his forehead.
He fell there plainly and passed out.
” Xander?” She looked bluntly. ” He looks totally dead. I better run” She said and tried to turn but she slipped and fell down the window height.

The physician, originally known as Amber, was staring next to Hani who was in the bed.
She palmed her head and mysteriously, light evoked from her palm transferring it to hani.
•••
Vivian pressed her lip tight and giving out a loud sigh. Soon, Amber came out.
” Oh, finally” Vivian smiled, getting up on her feet.
” Ian didn’t come with you?” She asked.
” He was super worried so I just had to tell him to stay back”
” Oh” She sighed.
” How’s hani?. Is she fine?” Vivian asked quickly.
” She can’t remember anything” She dropped the bombshell.
” What!!” Vivian gasped,her eyes widening.
” Her brain was affected after the fall.”
” No, No. You can’t tell me that she can’t remember anything. That’s impossible, please tell me that she’s fine. Please!!” Vivian said, almost bursting her tear gland.
” You haven’t let me finish”
” Okay?” She breathed in hardly, waiting for the next bombshell.
” I’ve checked her. She’s perfectly fine. I was just kidding” She smirked and Vivian pulled a face at her.
” Does it look like I’m joking here?. Huh?. How can you play around with my future daughter inlaw?. Hey, Hey, You better watch the way you talk. Don’t give me high blood pressure, miss!”
” There should be room for playful talks, Vivian. Afterall we’ve been good friends before”
” Which friends have we been?. This is just my first time talking to you!. And I’d never be friends with a Lair!” She spat.
Amber sighed with a smile.
” Hani is asleep. Do you want to see her?” She asked.
Vivian pushed her aside and started to walk into the room.
” Anyways, Am Amber. Nice to meet you?”
” Who cares if you’re….” Vivian stopped and her eyes bloated out in realisation.
She turned to look at her and Amber raised the mask off her face.
” Am Amber. Nice to meet you again?” She smiled and Vivian looked dizzy before passing out on that spot quickly.

Amber appeared inside Xander’s room and met him covered up, some maids were massaging his head.
The Entire royal family were there to watch him.
Amber walked forward elegantly.
” I heard you were sick, Your highness?” She bowed.
” Just a minor headache. But I just had to call you over cos it was getting worse” He said.
” Anyways I’m not here to treat you” She said and Everyone suddenly looked at her.
Queen Lisa stood.
” What do you mean you’re not here to treat him?. What’s your role in this Palace?”
” Hush, Your highness. I know my role. I came here for a more important reason”
” Did you just tell me to Hush?” Queen Lisa spat
” Would you let me finish, Woman?. Or do you want to beat me?” Amber scoffed.
Lisa puffed her lip and went back to her seat angrily before Amber turned to face Xander.
” Have you forgotten about our deal?” She asked.
” What deal?” Xander asked, sitting up.
” Don’t tell me you’ve suddenly forgotten!” Amber yelled.
” Oh…the deal” He said and let a swoosh of air pass through his lip. ” I couldn’t crown her, the ceremony was bashed up. But she’s still my Queen anyways”
” Good. I’m taking my powers back from you” She said.
” What!” Xander yelled.
? What??
” What are you talking about?” Lisa spat.
” Most of you think he’s spiritually gifted. No, he’s not!. He doesn’t even have powers cos he’s using artificial ones. Everything about him is fake!” Amber said.
? ( Gasp!!)
” Xander is that true?” Lisa asked, holding her waist.
Xander grinned his teeth hardly.
” So is that your deal?” He turned to ask Amber, leaving Lisa question flying in the air.
” That’s my deal. I told you if you couldn’t crown hani, I’d take everything you have. Including your powers, the throne, your childbirth position…I’d take every. single. thing!”
” You must be insane. Guards!!” Xander Called.
” If your Guards come close, they should be ready to die!” She said and the guards stood where they were instantly.
Xander tried to use his powers on her but it backfired and struck his chest.
” Aah!!” He groaned, falling back on the bed aimlessly. Amber walked forward.
” You didn’t take my instructions right?” She asked.
” I took three pills. Is that too much?” He asked weakly.
” Of course. It’s a curse on its own. The two remaining pills were curses, that’s why I warned you not to take not more than one!”
” How could you not tell me they were curses. Infact, I don’t need your powers anymore. Take your powers back!. Take it” He cried.
” I think leaving it with you will be more interesting” She smiled.
” No, please. Take your powers back. Have it back, I don’t want it anymore!!” He cried
” Hand over the crown” She ordered.
” We’re not handing over the crown. It belongs to my son!” Lisa yelled in tears.
” Your son is not the first son of the king. Ian is. Remember the story behind the first Queen who was rumored to have died during childbirth to her son??” She asked.
” Ian?. Ian is the Queen’s child?” Lisa asked, the tears dropping slowly on her cheek.
” Of course. He’s fine, He’s tall, handsome and healthy and fit to be the next king. Now, Hand over the crown, Quickly!” She raised her voice.
Lisa picked the crown and Amber snatched it from her.
” A coronation would take place tomorrow and I’ll be crowning the rightful heir myself. I’d also be crowning the rightful Queen, Hani” She smiled and vanished into thin air.
There was silence in the atmosphere for a few minutes and Aurora stood up leaving.
” My chest!!” Xander groaned.
” Shut up!!” Lisa spat. ” You should be thinking of how a mere Knight is coming to rule us as king and you’re here screaming about your chest!. d@mn that chest of yours, d@mn it!!!” Lisa spat, stepping on him with her heels.

<< NIGHT>> FIELD
Ian flipped through the book he was reading boringly before he raised his head to see hani coming.
He quickly stood up and a frown left his lip seeing a bandage around her head.
” Hani?” He called.
” I don’t wanna talk to you” She pouted.
” What’s wrong?”
” You left me with Xander this morning, how could you!” She yelled.
” I’m so sorry fav, I didn’t want him to catch me with you. I was really upset with myself when I heard you fell down the window. I’m really sorry, okay?.”
” Sorry?. That’s all?” She spat.
He picked up his rose flower, bonded in a nice designed paper, and she looked at it.
” I’m not suppose to pluck this from the royal garden but I just had to risk it to give you as a sign of my apology” He said, avoiding her gaze, hoping she’d like it.
She puckered her lip and took it from him, sniffing it.
” It seems like heaven. I love flowers and I’ve never come across this beautiful one. Thank you Ian” She smiled
” I know it’s just little but…”
” It’s the most wonderful gift I’ve ever received. I love it, Ian!”
” As much as I love you” He said.
” Love you more” She smiled and hugged him quickly. ” Promise me you’d never leave me alone, okay?” She pouted.
” I promise, and if I ever do, just do your worst to me, okay?”
” Awwn. I wouldn’t dare hurt you. You’re my life, I’d never want to loose you” She smiled and Ian hugged her really tight.
He let go of her and stared at the bandage.
” How’s your head?”
” Fortunately, I feel so fine. Like nothing really happened. I still don’t know why I still need a bandage anyways” She said.
” Well I’m glad you’re fine” He said and he looked above her head to see xander approaching them.
” Aah!!” Hani screamed running behind him quickly.
” What do you want!” Ian hissed.
Xander sighed.
” I’m sorry, Ian. I’m sorry for everything and I just hope we can both start afresh. The wedding got ruined, I know. Hani is truly meant to be yours and I’ve realised I’ve been the bad guy. Please forgive me so I can clear the guilt from my chest” He said.
” Move back, Ian. You’re not immune anymore” Hani whispered.
” What do you want exactly, Xander?” Ian spat.
” I just need to you to forgive me, that’s all” He said.
” Ian. Don’t” Hani whispered.
” Shh. He’s harmless.” Ian whispered back.
” Please??” Xander asked, still awaiting his reply.
” It’s fine. I don’t have anything to do with you anyways” Ian replied.
Xander smiled and snapped his fingers and they immediately got surrounded with guards who were greatly packed.
” Fire!” He ordered.
They all brought out their arrow and aimed it towards them quickly.
Hani hand clutched around Ian’s body tightly and he immediately closed his eyes as well.
A ball like flames surrounded the couples, immediately shielding them from their attacks and the arrow backfired them all, sending them to the floor instantly.
Xander eyes surged out and he immediately turn around, running for his dear life.
