Chapter 157Irene's POVThis was quite hard to believe, staring at Damien's bare chest, it brought back memories of him and Allyson. I realized that I was the one he was referring to, but I couldn't give him a response knowing that I was mesmerized in the thoughts of him.Emily hit, my shoulders, realizing that I wasn't playing attention to his words, I heard his words but lacked the confidence to answer his question. "Well we're going out for a swim in a neat lake, possibly anywhere in this land" Emily uttered as she held her hands firmly to the bag. "I would be coming with you guys, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt or get kidnapped, knowing how jovial girls could be" Damien conceded to her words with his own conditions which was acceptable by us, knowing that we had security. It would give us freedom to explore more parts of this land, it'll be fun having guards around. "Firstly we're not toddlers and secondly get a shirt, you're enticing everyone here" Emily hissed as she tou
Chapter 158Xavier's POV"You haven't said anything regarding the information I just gave you and it's quite heartbreaking to see that you're not going to even pay heed to my words" The Queen uttered as she always tried to get close to me but I kept a hold on my boundaries, she understood that if she pushed further it might make me push her to the ground which wouldn't befit a Queen. "Why would I pay heed to your words when I know they're all lies" I retorted, wondering if she regarded me as a child who would just believe anything about his or her family without proper investigation. "How would you have me prove it to you?" She uttered continuously as she sighed, i needed no soothsayer to tell me that she was lying. "You find the information, you figure it out yourself. I'm tired, you fed me well enough and at the same time you made me sick" I uttered as I placed the wine cup on the table and turned to go back to my house to rest. "Well you won't be putting your son's life at risk
Chapter 159Irene's POVI sighed, wondering what type of fun we would be having our here out in a lake that seemed quite boring, despite the fact that it had a peaceful view and surely would do some good to me, knowing that I would have my skin tanned by Emily, which would be quite the only thing I would enjoy our here in this lake."What's always makings you lose focus?"Emily startled my thoughts, quite loving the fact that she always startled my thoughts. "She's mesmerized by the beauty of the whole lake, it's so beautiful" Damien uttered staring at me, the look on his face meant that I shouldn't bother responding to Emily's words.I never asked him to speak on my behalf, wondering why he always wanted to defend me, speak words for me, save me out of a situation. "Well as he said it's beautiful but this place is quite lonely and boring. What would we be achieving staying here?" I uttered, wondering why Damien would pick this spot, knowing that they would be better places than this
Chapter 160Xavier's POV"You've got to be careful with that woman, she might be funny at times and when she gets serious there's no going back." Noah warned as he continued treating a patient that was directly staring at me."I hate it that we have them to rule over us when they're supposed to be scraping off what we give to them. They're not the rightful ones to sit on that throne and they know it" The Man uttered as he held his leg, he was injured, it felt like he had a fight with someone who held a weapon in his hands. "What do you mean?" I was getting confused by his words, wondering what he was implying. "What she meant is that Eliot doesn't deserve to sit upon that throne. His father took it by force" Noah explained. "How do you know that?" I knew that in every kingdom there would be people who hated the Royal family and wouldn't hesitate to take over if the means are provided. "Would you compare the words of someone who's been here since his inception, to what they tell yo
Chapter 161Irene's POVEmily's sudden absence to the words I said to her somehow baffled me and I couldn't do anything to stop her and avoided Damien suspecting my sudden interest in Emily's walking out of the water.I pulled her back into the water, catching hold of her before she fell into the water, I knew she would definitely be scared that I could still catch her despite the fact that I was the one that pulled her and orchestrated her fall."You're quite heavy, eating whatever you see tends to make millions of calories in your body" I uttered as I helped her back to her feet. "How did you do it?" Emily stuttered staring into my eyes with disbelief which was a bit confusing to me. "Do what exactly?" I inquired as we sat together in the water, pretending to be playing with the water. "I didn't do anything sister, I just did what I had to do knowing that you would definitely fall off and hit your head on the little stones, so I had to save you" I explained, wondering why everyon
Chapter 162Xavier's POVHaving to eat outside because of ignoring the moment of specification that Noah refused to dwell in. I was glad that I had quenched my hunger with the meal I just had at the restaurant."It seems I'm here on time" Eliot uttered as he walked into the house wearing a thick smile on his face."I guess you're ready for the hunting?" He added, staring at the look on his face I knew he was already packed up."Yeah I'm ready but what are we hunting?" I asked wondering what he was so eager to hunt. "You'll see when you're there" He stuttered."Seemingly I don't like embarking what I'm not fully aware of" I retorted. "Well practically I just want an alone time with my friends" He confessed, wearing a cynical smile on his face, I wondered what he had in mind, risking his life out in the dark forest just to have fun with his friends."Then why do you need my help?" I asked wondering why he wanted me coming along with him to the hunt, not knowing my purpose of walking
Chapter 163Irene's POVI dived into the pool forgetting about the whole incident and basically about Emily's intimacy with Damien."Why do you feel so odd? It seems you don't want to be here, it feels like you saw something you shouldn't have" Emily always knew the best way to shuffle my thoughts. "I didn't see anyone, I'm just not in the mood to swim again, I just want to go back home, and think about Xavier" I stuttered as I stepped back into the water. "Xavier's safe, and""How do you know he's safe, he hasn't called or sent an envelope or a letter to me, it seems you're hiding something from me" I chimed in, getting tired of Xavier's presence, I'm not even sure if he's still alive, wondering where he would be or what he would be going through in the forest all by himself."What do you mean?" Emily uttered as she stared at me, wondering if I knew what I was doing, I guess she must have filled her head with the thoughts that I was drunk, having five bottles of beer isn't enough t
Chapter 164Xavier's POVI disliked the fact that I was had made myself accept to go on a journey with four little children who basically don't know how to co exist and at the same time are vulnerable to dangers in the forest. Eliot had been pretending to be a good boy all this while to me in order for him to learn my skills to be able to defeat his brother and take the throne.I couldn't understand why his mother disliked him despite the fact that he was the right person to sit upon the throne. I slightly guessed that it was his attitude that attracted the hate of his parents and the fact that they hate makes them afraid of letting him have the throne, as a young prince, he lacks the understanding to know this.I just hope I would be able to change Eliot before leaving this forest."What's going on?" Fiona walked up to me, she definitely pulled me out of my thoughts. "Are we going into the forest?" Jake inquired as he stares at his brother and shifted his gaze to me. "Yeah, we're
