Lord Xander walked steadily to the girls with his expressionless face staring intently. When he moved closer, Kaylan noticed he was staring at her leg and that really made her heart skip."What are you doing out here? Do you ever listen to instructions?" His voice was sharp and hard.Kaylan moved back a bit. "I..... wanted to get some fresh air." She mumbled staring at her feet.Jaden was holding her breath as she stood there. She didn't want to breath. She thought it would only make Lord Xander notice she was there too.Lord Xander turned, facing the water. "I can see you are getting better. Get ready tonight. Axel will come and escort you " with that, he turned and started heading back.Kaylan stared after him, her upper lips swollen as she pushed her tongue against it. "He's so mean", She mumbled still looking at him.She saw him climb up his horse, said something to Axel and started riding away while Axel stood there staring at them. Jaden let out a deep breath and rolled her ey
It was late in the evening as Anya was seen walking to the other building of the palace where Akim and her sisters with their mother shared.She walked swiftly to Akim's door and knocked. She knocked impatiently again and almost immediately, the door opened with Akim sticking out his head from one corner of the door. "Can I come in? I need to talk to you."Akim rolled his eyes and stepped aside for her. She quickly entered after looking around and closed the door behind her.She turned around to see Akim as she got into the room. "Any progress on what I told you about?""I feel so tired." Kayla groused as she stepped out of the bathroom. Jaden was on the bed, already dosing off."Do you think I should go to Lord Xander's room? Should I go and apologize for being disobedient again today?" Kayla asked but got no reply.She turned to look at Jaden and rolled her eyes when she noticed she was already fast asleep. She sighed and moved closer to the bed then stared into her friend's face.H
Lord Xander sat down as Axel pulled out the chair for him. He picked a napkin, wiped it gently across his mouth before glancing at Kaylan.He wouldn't deny the fact that he very much liked the sight before him.It was stunning. Dazzling. "Do you like it here?" He asked, putting so much effort not to use his usual cold voice.He had never had any reason to be nice to anyone let alone a woman but tonight was different.She saved his life. Just for tonight, he would try not to be his cold and grumpy self.Kayla smiled and nodded. Her hands felt like jellyfish. She was starting to sweat. "I love everything here and thanks for the meal..." Xander said nothing as he picked up his spoon. The silence between them was a loud one coupled with the tension.Kayla sat still. She felt so awkward. She picked up the chopstick and it fell right back on the table. She couldn't understand why her fingers were shaking badly.Xander stared at her, wondering why she wasn't eating. "Do you want something e
Kaylan got to the dinning and met everyone - except Lord Xander, already at the table.She greeted Madame Nadie before sitting down. Opposite her were Mansi and her sister and as usual, they ignored her and focused on their food.Madame Nadie smiled looking at Kaylan as she took the first taste of her meal. "Hope you like the food princess Kaylan?" She asked.Kaylan smiled and nodded. "Yes ma'am. Thank you." She replied and looked around, noticing Lord Xander was the only one missing at the table. She looked at Madame Nadie. "Where's Lord Xander? Has he gone out?"Madame Nadie sighed and shook her head. "He is upstairs in his room. He has refused to come down.""Really? Oh." Kaylan mumbled and continued eating. She cleared her throat and looked at Madame Nadie. "Can you help me tell one of the maids to arrange a table set for me? I want to take it to Lord Xander up stairs." Kaylan said and everyone turned to look at her.Madame Nadie looked a little amazed at a courage. She nodded an
Sharon stepped out into the balcony and saw a maid walking past with a scroll in her hand. She stopped her, staring at the scroll in her hand. "Where are you taking that?" She asked.The maid bowed before answering. "It's for princess Kaylan." Sharon raised an eyebrow. "Oh. Really? Well I'm going to her room right now. Give that to me, I will hand it over to her.""Alright my princess." The maid replied. She bowed before handing the scroll over and went back.Sharon stared at the scroll, wondering who sent it.As she took a step, a crazy idea popped up in her head.Her eyes widened with excitement. Another excellent plan! She thought happily. She turned and went after the maid who gave the scroll to her.*"The post man gave it to a guard and asked to get it delivered to Princess Kaylan." The maid, Eliana said a little bit surprised as she stared at Sharon wondering why she was asking her about the scroll.Sharon stared at the scroll and started unwrapping it. Eliana's eyes widened
He quickly bowed immediately he stood before him."My Lord." He greeted."What's this about?" Xander asked, without glancing at him."My Lord.... someone broke into the stable and stole a horse."The writing feather in his hand dropped to the table as he stared at Axel."What did you just say?" Xander asked again, his eyes growing big with anger."But....he was caught. And he's in the throne room right now. What do we do with him my Lord?"Xander stood up and angrily dashed out of his Chambers. He barged into his weaponry room and grabbed a sword then headed straight to the throne room.How dare someone steal something from him? Axel walked behind him as they both marched to the throne room.The maids scampered away on seeing him coming. They could'nt bow to him. He looked so enraged.Jaden who was also heading to the garden to check out the blooming flowers saw the situation. She came out from her hiding and ran all the way to Kaylan's room.**"I'm sure gonna make some money today
Kaylan was dozing off on the bed when the soft knock on the door woke her up. She stirred and opened her eyes, wondering who was outside the door.Axel came in and bowed. "My princess. You've been released."Kaylan blinked and sprang up. "Really? I...can go back to my room now?"Axel shook his head. "No my princess. I'm taking you to Lord Xander's room."Kaylan's heart rose. "Why?""Because he asked me to. Let's go. You don't want to keep him waiting." Axel said and opened the door.Kaylan sighed and stepped out of the room while Axel followed and closed the door after him.He escorted Kaylan to Xander's room just as he requested.They got in front of the door but Kaylan refused to get in. "My Lord. She's here." Axel announced when Kaylan wouldn't get in."Bring her in." Xander's cold and deep voice said from inside the room.*Kaylan stepped into the room, her arms around her as she suddenly felt cold.She didn't know why but being there in his room was somehow terrifying. She could
Lord Xander stood outside the veranda, his eyes staring down and constantly diverting to the gates whenever a movement was made.He couldn't deny the fact that he was thinking about Kaylan, wondering where she was right now and what she was doing with Akim. He wondered where they've gone to and couldn't just take his mind off her.It was upsetting and it really got him angry.Axel walked up behind him and bowed. "My Lord. Prime minister Drake is in the throne room. He is seeking audience with you." Axel announced.Without taking his angry dark eyes off the gate, Xander replied, "I don't wanna see anyone right now.""My Lord.... Prime minister Drake really looks troubled. I think it's a matter of urgency.""Axel!" Xander thundered in a very thick and cold voice.Axel quickly clamped his mouth shut, bowed and left the premises immediately.Xander breathed angrily and just then, the gate opened and they came in discussing.He stared at them, his forehead greased with a thick frown.
