Six

The lights growing brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher.

Laughter is easier minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. Just as the queen had planned, the organized welcoming party for Prince Arthur was going as she had wanted, well except for the intruder.

The queen is yet to have to a word with Chloe as she is been occupied by the hungry young bachelor who can’t keep their hands to their selves. The queen wondered if that is how Chloe wishes to be the crown princess if she always let the bachelor of the royals touches her.

The queen sat at her decorated throne which was brought into the party hall for her and watches the party take place. She flashed the viscount a smile as he head her way; this is the perfect opportunity for her to find out why he came with his daughter to the sacred party meant for only the elders.

“My queen.” The viscount uttered in almost a loud voice due to the loud music playing. He bowed a little to show his respect to his cousin, if he wants to get what he wants then he must do so much enough to please her.

She nodded her head at her personal guard who was standing in her defense. No one shall be trusted when it comes to the queen and the crown prince’s, just as it was stated in the rule books and all the workers in the royal castle adhere by it.

“I never did expect the viscount to come here with his daughter instead of his wife.” The queen said in a calm tone but it was laced in her voice. For all her life, she has never seen someone as adamant as the viscount. He is willing to do anything just to have what he desires.

To say he even offered his daughter for the abandoned castle, the child who is meant to be his diamond and since then, the queen made sure to have all his movement watched. She can’t let him do something that will be a bad cause to the royal family.

“The viscountess turned to be stung by a bee and is currently undergoing treating back at our castle. Which made her suggest that her little diamond shall attend the party in her place.” He revealed, with no ounce of remorse as he told over the lies they made with his wife.

If he had known about the queen and her spy, then he would have told her the truth. No one will get hurt in the process but seeing how the queen always let him go scot free when she finds out something about him and his family, and then she must be preparing something over. “Well, what can I say? She is already here.” The queen sighed and she waved her hands.

The royal trumpets started to play into a nice and calm tune, and the door leading to the palace was gently opened revealing the two princes in their tuxedo. Chloe sucked in a breath; she has never seen someone as handsome as the prince.

Well, she might. But they seem different and her heart skipped a beat when a particular one among them winked his eyes at her. Finally, she has found the prince meant for her and she shall do whatever it is to have him.

“The crown prince, Prince Archie and his twin brother, crown prince Arthur.” The queen personal guard announced as he led them to their seats which was besides the queen.

Chloe’s eyes followed them as they took a seat. She was already drooling over him and soon, she might not be able to hold in her desires. “Father, we need to go to the aisle so that you could introduce to the prince.” She whispered to her father who gave her a side look.

The viscount, Taylor had a thing for the royal family. No one could predict want it is, neither his wife nor his child. But one thing is for sure, he would have been the one up there with his wife as the king and the queen if not for his uncle.

Revenge is something the viscount had vowed to get and that will only be done when he is closer to the palace, hence why he wants Chloe to marry one of the prince and then he get the possession of the abandoned palace and then he strikes when no one expects him to.

“Calm down, Chloe. You have all the day to get to them but now enjoy the dance.”Her father told her as he gulped down the rest of his wine and pulled her into the dance floor.

Chloe was finding her father’s attitude rather irritating. This is what she had come to the welcoming party for and she is already tipsy, one more glass of wine and she will be more than drunk. Throughout the dance with her father, she continued to mumble incoherent words under her breath. “Viscount, may I have a dance with the lady?” A calm and nice voice said which almost gave her an orgasm.

Her father transferred her to the voice and she had made no attempt to look at his face for once because she thought it is not worth it. “My lady” the voice called and she took it as a cue for her to raise her head.

When she came face to face with Prince Arthur, she couldn’t find her voice for a damn minute. His blue eyes were mesmerizing that she had gotten lost in them. “Finally.” She mumbled.

“Did you say something, my lady?” he asked. Once in the united stated, he learned that most girls mumble things under their breath when they are angry or in need of something but he can’t say for her. “No my prince. I was just caught up in the moment.” It was a sly reply but she did voice it out.
