                            💋 2 💋

The figure watched as she slip from the crowd when she thought no one noticed he smiled and followed her admist the complaints from his right hand Man, he followed as she moved into the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze it blew her flaming red hair and expose those creamy legs, he had to struggle to get hold of himself.

All of a sudden she turned and he quickly slipped into the shadows when she continued moving he followed again this time slowly so as not to attract attention again , she turned but he was well hidden. She shook her head and before he knew it she has disappeared Where could she have gone to he mused trying to follow where he last saw her he still couldn't find her. In the twinkling of an eye someone grab him and held a knife to his neck.

“ are you following me”. the voice said. . ..

                   🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

Dianne waited in the shadows till she saw the figure more clearly she removed a hidden knife from her hair and waited just as he was about to her corner she grab him and held the knife to his neck “why are you following me”, she said.

“Whoa easy dear no cause for alarm”, the man said his voice so calm, soft and silky.

“that still doesn't answer my question”, she said holding knife more closer to his neck.

“am I not allowed to follow a woman who I think is very beautiful and hot”,he said.

“it still doesn't answer my. . .”, Dianne was about to say but was knocked out of breath and the man twisted and knocked the knife out of her hand now she was in his arms with her back towards him and the knife at her throat.

“rule number one never threaten a man in the shadows with a knife you might never know what might happen next”,he said trailing the knife down her throat.

“I must say you're very talented”,Dianne said breathlessly still short about what happened” not many men can be able to do that”, she added.

“too bad I'm not just any man”,the figure said.

“ who are you”, Dianne said “and would you let me go “,she said struggling.

"How about a kiss first”.

Dianne rolled her eyes “do you know who you are harassing like this”, she said haughtily” I can easily have your head on a platter for this insolence”.

“Is that so, I'm intrigued”, the figure said huskily” what are you going to do princess”.

“Let me go”,she said struggling.

“ not until I get my kids first”,he said and turned her to face him” I have to admit you are very beautiful for a princess”.

“why, a princess isn't supposed to be beautiful”,she said sarcastically.

“not as beautiful as you are”,he said. Dianne kicked him in the groin and gave a quick jab to him in the ribs now she was free and she wasted no time and pointing the knife at him “never underestimate a cornered princess”,. The figure groaned and raised his hand “ok ok you win”, he said.

 But Dianne wasn’t impressed” I'm going to say this one last time who are you” Dianne said.

 “why are you so interested in my name princess”.

“ you seem strange have not seen you around here before”.

“ why is it a must to know everybody who comes to the palace”. “everybody knows you don't dare the princess and go scot-free this is your last warning who are you”,she threatened.

“I can't exactly talk with the knife around my throat can I”, he said “speak!!!”,…..

                   🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The figure smiled, intriguing no one has actually held a knife at his throat and definitely not a princess but still she alone managed to pull it and twice in the same row, he was impressed.

“ perhaps, maybe if you can lower your pointy little object maybe I can talk”,he said.

The princess narrowed her eyes and was about to inflict serious injury on him when they maid found them.

“Oh there you are my lady his royal majesty has been looking for you”, the maid said and turned to see the figure ” and who is he”, she said “nobody”, the princess said lowering her knife” you’re lucky today, next time you won’t be so lucky “.

“Next time I'm definitely having you in my arms”,he said and Dianne made to hit him.

“ ignore him your Highness the king is still waiting”, the maid said.

Dianne made an exaperated sound and turned with her nose in the air and her dress billowing behind her, she left

“now that is one hell of a woman”, the figure watching her. His right-hand man came running behind him “my Lord I have been looking all over for you “,he said.

“ as you can see I’m alive and well have you secured an audience with The King”.

“ yes my lord he seemed shocked”, the man said

“ good there is something I need to discuss with him”.✨✨

                       💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

“this is Prince Edward from the northern regions”,the king in introduce” I hope you will get to know each other”, he said to Dianne.

Dianne turned to see a handsome man dressed in expensive clothing behind her and nearly choked, in as much as he was handsome he still wasn’t her type whatever father was planning to do she needs to clear his mind once and for all.

”nice to meet you princess I’ve heard so much about you” Prince Edward said kissing her hand.

“well I can’t say the same about you”, she said hoping he will get the point

“well the northern country is so far away I’ll be surprised if you’ve heard anything about us at all he said”perhaps one day I’ll take you there”,

“No thanks, I don’t like changing environment”, she said “too bad for my skin you know”,

“yes, yes a beautiful princess like you have to maintain her beauty”, he said

“ I’m glad we’re both on the same page”, she said and cursed her father silently.

“ may I have this dance”,

Dianne cheesily smiled “ I don’t dance”,

“how about a drink”, he pressed.

 “No thanks”,she said and turn to go having reached her limit.

“ I do hope to have this dance with you my lovely princess I’ll be disappointed if I don’t”,he said sullenly.

 “ fine only one dance”,she said and gave him her has he took her to the space made for dancing.

“I’m glad my princess to have the honour of dancing with you”,he said and healthy ways as they moved effortlessly around the room.

“how dare him!!”, the figure said as he watched a man dancing with the princess.

“ lord I do advise you to calm down she is none of our business”,the right-hand man said.

“ she's mine no one is allowed to touch her only me!!”,

 “ my lord please let's go of your anger she is but a problem to us”,the man pleaded.

“'m going to kill him for touching what mine!!”, he said vehemently.

“my Lord I do advise you to think this through, you don’t want to draw attention to ourselves yet do we”,

“ still he must be punished!”.

“perhaps in a less messier way”, the Man suggested.

“ whatever it takes he must pay!!”.🔥🔥
