“You scared me.” Penn placed a hand on her beating chest, in a bid to calm herself down.
“Why did your father allow you to walk at night?” Dinos barked and Penn narrowed her eyes in anger.
“My father doesn’t allow me to do anything, I control everything about myself.” Penn clipped out.
“Then why don’t you want to be mine?” Dinos asked as he trailed his hand down her cheek to her neck and down h

How would someone explain the feeling of guilt? Is it that something heavy is crushing your chest? Or you feel uncomfortable in your skin, so much so that you cannot sit still, think about the situation and not feel overwhelmed when you realized what your actions had caused? In Prince Chandler's case it was the second one.‘Were people really given the liberty to rape others because of the law he had passed because the Queen's mother wanted him to?’Chandler paced the length of his room, feeling mightily uncomfortable in his skin. No Penn must have been wrong.The lad was just drunk and saying things. There was no way his edits would have caused those things.After managing to convince himself of those lies, he could finally feel something other than guilt.Rage, hot and blazing. ‘How dare Penn try to blame other actions on him when he did no wrong?’ He needed to talk to Penn, apparently, his weird fascination with the boy le

Penn found Stanley and Rima in the Orchard that was behind the compound. Stanley turned to see who was approaching and when he saw it was Penn his eyes narrowed.“I am sorry?” Penn started uncertainly, unsure of how she would be received, Dinos didn’t have his way with her then but Stanley was helpless in the hands of his captors for more than a day.“You don’t get to throw that incident back in my face. Nobody has the right to, no one! Especially you.” Stanley Stated as Penn cringed and her eyes grew wet. The thought she has been trying to block out for six months slammed into her head with the force of a sledge hammer.‘It was all my fault’“I am sorry.” Penn's voice was full with remorse this time.“What are you sorry about?” Stanley asked. “The fact that you just threw that incident back in my face or the fact that you are responsible for it.”Penn stumbled back at Stanley’s word like he had physically punched him.

Chandler slept horribly that night, he had thought that maybe a night with a lady would remove Penn and his nasty words from his head but it didn’t work that way. He felt even more burdened and he felt like Penn's words were true, he was being superficial and whether he likes it or not, his actions just proved Penn right.”Your highness.” A sleepy voice sounded beside him as a creamy hand appeared on his chest, softly caressing it but Chandler didn’t want to feel even bigger guilt because every action of his since last two nights had just kept stacking the guilt.“Thank you for your time Janise but you are no longer needed.” Chandler mumbled as he got up from the bed and went around getting dressed.“So will I be getting an invitation for later? And my name is Cherise but you were very close my prince.” Cherise looked at the prince with coy eyes.The prince shuddered at the thought of actually being hers. “No Cherise, our liaison e

“What?” Vallas asked, his voice had lost all trace of laughter in it.“Crown Prince Chandler.” Penn repeated.“It can’t be.” Vallas said in confusion. “You hate him.”“I know! I do hate it.” Penn spat out as fire seemed to flare up in her eyes.“Ah.” Vallas relaxed back in his seat.“What?” Penn asked.“You really like him” Vallas corrected.“You just mentioned that I hate him and now I like him, how does any of what you are saying make sense?” Penn rubbed her head which was banging furiously.“You hate him because of the way he can get under your nerves and make you angry with everything he does even when it does not warrant your vexation. You do make it look like you have a feud with him.”“Whose side are you on?” Penn asked with a glare as Vallas smiled.“Your side, always your side, it doesn’t matter what side you are on or if I support what you believe but

Penn's look of astonishment slowly faded and was replaced with anger.“Is this a joke to you?” Penn asked.“No, I…” Chandler startled at Penn attack couldn’t even find words to help defend himself.“You cannot make an absurd offer like that and expect me to take it and all will be well between us. It never works that way.” Penn got into Chandler's face which was hard for her to do because of height difference but she managed to do it standing on her toes and Chandler didn’t comment on it not when he could see the flames of fury in Penn's eyes.What even made him give that offer to someone like Penn, his mind couldn’t even fathom the reason behind it. Was he that lonely for real attention and friendship that he was ready to stake spending a month plus in close contact with someone who hates his guts?“I am not hoping to buy your forgiveness, I was hoping that you will spend some time with me to give you a change of view about

“You are not going, are you?” The Prince sighed when he saw Penn without a load or any possession with her.“No, I am not. What gave you the idea that I will say yes?” Penn rolled her eyes.The prince felt angrier than he had ever been. This annoying little nobody thought he was so special and amazing to have a prince want his company and he had the power to refuse the prince. “Nothing, in fact I am glad that you said no. you complain so much about me when if you are in my shoes, you will not be half as good as I am when it comes to implementing edicts and laws which my people need.”“And pray tell me.” Penn moved close to the prince with mock anticipation on her face. She knew better than to goad him but every time the prince's mouth opens, he manages to make a blunder that makes her want to kill him. He normally did that unknowingly before but she knew that the prince was well aware this time. He was being annoying on purpose. “I would not b

“What were you thinking, saying those words to the Prince? You have officially lost it.” Rima stressed about as Stanley and one other male carried Penn to her room and dropped her on her bed, the person left while Stanley and Rima remained behind.“I am not that heavy for you to drag me that way.” Penn complains, a smile still on her face and her eyes burned with a fire that made Stanley and Rima think if they should start applying restraints on their friend who was looking more like Lord Vallas does during a killing spree.At least lord Vallas had an excuse to have that look in his eyes, they all knew to expect the unexpected from the man but Penn was another scenario. He was the one who normally kept a level head and this Penn was very far from that one.“Oh, stop looking at me like I have gone crazy, I can assure you that I am very much in control of my wits.” Penn adds as Rima and Stanley still looked unc

“I cannot believe that you wanted to infiltrate the castle today, you do have a death wish.” Rima hissed harshly at Penn who rolled her eyes.“Well you got us to spend our time watching the palace instead so you win.” Penn mumbled back to Rima.“If I won, I would be in my room right now, blissfully hiding away from accounts books.” Rima shot back.“Children.” Stanley cuts into their quarrel before they would take it to a new dimension. “Do you not understand the term of undercover or spying or you are trying to get us discovered and killed on purpose?” Stanley questions, if they were not in a tight position, he would have not left them with his sideways glance, he would be giving them one of his infamous death glares that he was known for.Penn rolled his eyes at Stanley back but kept her quiet as Rima hits her then proceeded to ignore that Penn like she wasn’t

Penn tried to run but there was no way she could escape the grasp of twenty men, she was caught within a minute. “Let me go.” She struggled against their hold as she was dragged back to Cain who had not moved from his spot when she had tried to run, fully trusting in his men's capability in bringing her back. “My father will hear of this.” “And how will he, when the person who should tell him will be dead?” Cain said as Penn felt a chill in her spine at his words. Cain had just confirmed that he was going to kill her and there was nothing she could do about it at all. “My father will know that it is you.” Penn bravely said but her voice betrayed her when it came out shaky, displaying her fear for all present to see. Cain leans to her face. “He is going to need something called proof to be able to do anything. You see, unlike that incident of two years ago, this time I will be smarter so that no one can witness this happening. Let us go.” Cain said

Penn watched the carriages stop as soon as he came down from his own carriage with Rima still inside and wondered if Vallas had visitors which she was not warned about?She had just came back with Rima for a trip in town, for a few days they have been here with Vallas as Something had gotten the resistance leaders so worked up that they were requesting for their heirs to be close to them.Penn sighed, someone would think that since Penn was at home that means that she would at least have an idea about what was going on but when she had asked Vallas, he shrugged and informed her that he does not know anything about what was happening.And when she asked him why he had called her home, the crazy man just replied that he did not want his heir to be the only one remaining especially when they have drawn the others back.Penn admit that Vallas's heart was in the right place but most time she felt like she would strangle Vallas.

“Your majesty, I have the perfect idea for what you want to happen.” Cain said two days later in the king's study.The king stared at Cain in surprise, he had not seen Cain this excited since he decided to start punishing the resistance. “I am not sure that I will like this idea.” The king responded.Reflected on Cain's face was the confusion which Cain felt as he did not understand what the reaction of the king. He did not plan for the king to shut him down even before hearing what he had in his mind. “My King, You did not even listen to what I have to say.”“I know.” The king sighed as he dropped the reports he was perusing. “I just hope that it will not waste my time.”“Of course not your majesty sire, I will be very brief with my explanation.” Cain hurried out and when the King gave his nod of approval, Cain started. “You wanted the children o

The crowd was somber, most of the nobles who attended the burial of Denzel attended with the knowledge of why he died, some more than the others.*He angered the resistance so he was killed, His son was discovered as a member of the resistance so they shut him up, he was killed because his son was a traitor…*Those were few of the talks that were flying in the air at that time. The time were Denzel was being laid in the ground and that made the king teeth to grit in anger at the blatant disrespect shown to the noble who died and his living nobles who could not wait for them to be out of the hearing range of the young ones which Denzel left behind before running their mouth.The only persons who were observing the right curtsey was Vallas and his son Penn. The king watched as Vallas placed a comforting hand on Penn's arm and then led him off.“Father.” Chandler called to his father who turned around to con

Penn felt something akin to pity as she watched Denzel stumbling back as if him shifting away from Vallas would somehow make the news unreal and change the fact that Curtis was dead.“No, you are lying. Is this some sick joke you and him are playing to make me lose my cool?” Denzel demanded but Penn could see the pale pallor that Denzel skin seem to have taken.“Not everything is about you Denzel, Your son was a traitor, this is about his death which was caused by his actions and decisions not yours.” Vallas stated as Penn paused.“Of course, he was your son.” Penn realized.“Stop referring to him like he is no more.” Denzel snapped at Penn who shifted back. “Now enough of this game you are playing and tell me where my son is.”“He is dead Denzel.” Penn stated calmly, trying to add feelings into delivering the news. “He was a traitor

Cain had never felt any intense hate for anybody as much as he felt for this brat in front of him. Even what he felt for Vallas was like a tiny flame compare to the inferno he was feeling for this being called Penn.“Are you sure you want to go there?” Cain asked Penn not caring for the audience they were having which was the king and his family.“You brought this upon yourself and let me inform you, my father will hear about this.” Penn threatened.“Is it just me or this whole scene turning into something that is just wasting our time?” The queen asked the king who nodded.“Cain you know better than to bring your personal vendetta here.” The king said firmly as Cain looked around unsure of how the table turned so quickly.“But…” Cain tried to convince the king but Chandler's voice was the one to cut him short this time.“But no

“Did the Prince give you a blow to the head that I somehow did not see?” Stanley asked Penn who rolled her eyes.“I am serious, those who run will be the first to be captured and taken in for questioning. Dispose all your weapons here and let’s go trade the horses for a wagon then rent a night at the inn and after that, we go out and mingle with other in the crowd, maybe grab a wench or two per person and have fun. After all, the reason we are here is because Lord Vallas decided to visit our home and we need to release some steam right?”They looked surprised at the easy way which Penn solved the problem until Stanley clapped his arms together. “Alright, let us start, time currently is of the essence.” He started giving instructions to others about what they should do while Penn started undressing. “Penn is everything alright?” Stanley asked looking at Penn weirdly.“Of course, it woul

Curtis realized too late what the queen might have wanted, the woman replaced her husband with her son, and she would not have done that if she wanted to son to be alive. With that thought, Curtis lunged forward, hoping to sink the knife into the Prince's chest but the Prince disarmed him within a flash.“Thank you for the weapon. Needed it.” Chandler smiled at Curtis who backed away from the Prince in shock.“That is one of the most foolish you have ever done.” Penn growled at Curtis making her voice deeper so that the Prince will not realize that it was her and still she saw the way the Prince's body jerked at her voice like he was recognized who was talking. It was a good thing that Penn tied her head and covered half of her face just like the rest of the resistance.“Thank you for believing in my ability, it is nice when your enemies know what you are capable of.” Chandler grinned towards the direction of

“I think you need to start from the start.” The queen said with her chest pounding. The king could not die, not yet. She still needed to kill the crown prince and make Lance the crown Prince.This was all Cain fault, if he had killed the prince then she would not have felt anything, she would not have done anything other than to sit still and wait for this to happen but it cannot because she will be left with Nothing. The Crown Prince no longer listened to her anymore, not since he came back to realized how many people she had disposed of since his edict. He had refused to listen to her since then or even to be in the same room with her, claiming that the sight of her makes him sick and he was repulsed that she was his mother… that was what he said while he was in the king’s presence but the queen knew what Chandler was referring to.“The resistance are planning on attacking the king today and Curtis shared this
