Her Fall(Part One)

***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE***

 Draco sighed heavily as Karena hurled insults at Shasta and Lawrence. The two men locked eyes, and flashed each other a look that screamed sympathy. Draco for his mistress' behavior, and Lawrence just felt bad for Draco in general.

 Everyone in the capital knew how Karena treated him, and Lawrence felt particularly sorry for his former friend. Before Draco served Marco exclusively, he was Lawrence's bodyguard when he was still just a prince. It had only been for a year before Lawrence had married his first wife, but the two had become genuine friends within that time.

 Draco was rare among people because he never treated Lawrence like a free ride. Most just expected the royal family to flip the bill whenever there was a party or event, but Draco never let Lawrence pay, even when he offered. He always spoke respectfully, but bluntly; especially when it was something that he didn't want to hear.
