He Failed, You Know?
Alistair and Alec had come to reluctant terms regarding their partnership, but while they had agreed to work together, that didn't mean that they trusted each other fully.
As such, both of them were going to keep an eye on each other, accompanying each other during the day.
Which also meant that even when day broke, Alistair was still inside Alec's room.
The crazy princess, Ophelia, disregarded all her etiquette when she barged into Alec's room, only to find her brother and Alec's face close together, Alistair leaning over Alec and kissing – or so it appeared from the angle she saw them.
She fainted again, and Alec let out a snort, surprising Alistair. He looked at the younger man with appraisal in his eyes.
Alistair looked at Alec with amusement. "I'd have thought that you'd be nicer to women, seeing how you come across."
Alec just smiled at Alistair, as if he had no idea what the prince was talking about.
