CHAPTER 28
.
Rosanne got on her feet and almost passed out when she saw his highness at her doorstep. His silhouette and presence almost causing her to pass out.
Swallowing hærd, Rosanne moved to the lantern beside the window opposite the door, and immediately lit up a match, lightening up the lantern, that lit up the wh0le room.
The shirtless crown prince came into sight and seen in the light, Rosanne breathed in.
“Good grief, your Highness, what are you doing in here in the middle of the night.?” Rosanne bowed.
The crown prince said nothing and took a step forward.
“Your Highness..” Rosanne called, getting nervous as she watched the sour and angry expression the crown prince held.
“Your Highness, it is the middle of the night, are you hungry?” Rosanne was nervous.
The crown prince took another step forward, getting close to Rosanne whose eyes almost popped out of her head due to fear.
His expression looked like he was about to tear her into pieces.
Slowly he raised his hand, and Rosanne shivered.
He was going to hit her, and she knew it, whatever did she do to him.? Why was he always angry with her. She know she did nothing wrong.
Just as his fist was about to land on her, she let’s out a scre-m. “Your Highness!!” she scre-med.
Her voice made the chirping crickets stopped.
“What has gotten into you, your Highness, it is the middle of the night.” Rosanne barked. She was yelling at royalty and she knew it was something a Commoner like her shouldn’t dare to try, but then again she was trying to save her self, at least, she should try.
The crown prince’s hand stopped in mid air and immediately he brought them down and took a step back.
“I’m.. I’m… Sorry” he breathed out.
Rosanne breathed out a sigh of relief, scre-ming did save her.
“It’s alright your Highness” she bowed. “But I do not understand why you detest me so much, I do not understand why you would want to attack me in my room late at night, whatever did I do to you? if it Is something I do not know of, I am deeply sorry, if it’s just me, how I look or how I am you detest, then I will leave if you wish me to.” Rosanne raised her head to see the befuddled look on his highness face.
“I do not hate you” His Highness spoke up, his voice deep and enchanting.
“Then why do you always do the unspoken to me?” Rosanne asked, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice.
“Because… Because… He makes me do it.” The crown prince sighed.
“He?” Rosanne was more than confused.
“I do not wish for you to leave. Neither do I detest you, I am just taking his orders.”
Rosanne blinked rapidly, wondering if the crown prince was okay.
“Who are you taking orders from? And why would his highness take orders from someone, I am deeply confused your highness, I am sorry!” Rosanne bowed.
“He is taking orders from me.” The crown prince spat, his eyebrows furrowing up.
“What?” Rosanne was more than confused.
“He is under me, and yes I detest you, Rosanne Hathaway! You will taste my wrath soon, the people of Orrander will” His highness added taking a step forward again.
“Your Highness?” Rosanne called.
“Do ignore what I just said. I do not detest you.” The crown prince added. “And please, do well to lock your door when you sleep”. The crown prince said before leaving the room.
Rosanne blinked rapidly, watching the closed the door in front of her eyes. What in the world of Orrander just happened and why was the crown prince saying such confusing words. It was almost as if, there was two of him speaking.
Locking the wooden door, Rosanne got back on the bed and got lost in her own thought that drifted her to sleep.

“Your majesties! News from castle Sylph!” Cornelius dashed into the planetarium where the king and queen were…
The queen turned swiftly,
“News?” she repeated.
“Yes! News. From the Royal spy” Cornelius bowed.
“Okay then, let’s get on with it” The King beckoned.
.
“I’m ready mother.” Martha yelled, over the fine morning, stepping out of her room.
“Martha…!” Betty scre-med, seeing her daughter dressed in one of the most noble looking dress, her husband had bought for Martha, whenever she was ready to meet with her promised bethroted Gregory.
“Yes mother.” Martha giggled, knowing exactly what her mother was scre-ming for.
“What in the name of Orrander have you done with your hair?” Betty asked, touching her daughter’s which used to swing behind her buttock, but was now at her shoulders.
“I cut it out” Martha replied.
“Why? Your hair was one of the traits Gregory’s family complimented you for, and why they promised you their son. What if they decline your marriage because of what you did.” Betty gasped.
“Then so be it mother, are you ready.?” Martha asked.
Her mother shook her head.
“Pray, Gregory family accepts you” Betty spat stepping out of their cottage.
Martha, clasped her hands together and shut her eyes, she breathed out a very short prayer. “Oh great mother of Orrander, please, please and please, let Gregory and his family despise Me, I do not mind being unmarried at fitfy, oh please great mother of Orrander”.
“Martha!…”
“Coming mother” Martha yelled before walking outside to her mother.
:
“Are you serious about that Cornelius?” the queen gasped, staring at the royal announcer.
“Yes, your majesty, that is what the royal spy wrote down and sent to the castle.” Cornelius bowed.
The King scoffed. “so Hasting went to attack his servant, but she ended up scre-ming him back to reality.”
“That shows that my son can still be in control, the seven beast of course own him now, but he can be controlled, she snapped him out of what others couldn’t.” the queen smiled.
“Tell this to the Royal scholar, and tell the Royal spy I’ll be increasing his payment by ten folds if he can get me every single details my son and his servants go through.” the queen smiled.
“Yes your Highness.” Cornelius bowed, before exiting the room.
