Did I say you could leave?

"Worst case it just increases his obsession" Marcus said before shaking his head with mirth in his eyes, placing his arm around her shoulder he gave her a comforting smile. "It'll be okay, with luck the spell will attract him to Morgana"

"IF it works" Anberine said before hearing a series of angry voices which caused them to look at the other in surprise "what in the world?" she muttered as they moved to the stone windowless walls. To their surprise Prince Skye was yelling at who they recognised as Elaine for whatever reason.

Morgana's smile went crooked as she watched Prince Skye shoving and yelling at Elaine, the term 'surprise' was not the only thing that filled her given how he was acting now.

"Why are you pushing me? You know our fathers are agreeing to the idea of having us marry" Elaine said sharply as she brushed her stylish emerald dress which rested near her ankles. Her amber pendent shone thanks to the light as she moved but remained graceful as she regained her composure and balance. Her eyes shone in disbelief, confusion and anger from what he had done.

"Why would I even be interested in you to begin with?" Skye snapped startling Elaine and now the onlookers who turned to look and find out what was going on, what got the prince so wound up?

"You're too clingy and pathetic with your appearance! You look so desperate that you even remind me of a pig that has put on lipstick on itself to make it look beautiful, when really it just looks wrong. Not to mention when you walk, it looks like you've got a stick up your butt! What's with that? Just walk properly like everyone else or do you think that you're too good to do that?" Elaine's mouth parted in shock, a small bewildered gasp soon left her lips while those who were listening were dumbstruck from seeing how badly the prince was lashing out.

This was a first and towards a popular girl that he was suppose to be courting thanks to their fathers, sure they saw him acting out towards the insignificant nerdy girl who's name they often disregarded as even mentioning about her around the prince would spark his temper. So what was provoking this sudden anger from the prince?

Morgana as she watched this almost cackled with glee as she watched the scene unfold, this was an interesting change. Plus it was good to let the self-obsessed Light Dweller get a taste of her own medicine given how she treated people like dirt thanks to her father's status, yet another person who felt like they were privileged due to their parents. Then again the pair did deserve each other and she was sure that they were a match made in hell given how they treated people.

"What has gotten into you?" Elaine said as she forced her hair from the front part of her neck, turning to Morgana she glared. "Did you do this? What did you give him?" she asked sharply now whipping the skirts of her dress behind her before giving Morgana her full attention.

'If it wasn't for the fact that this is a Love Curse potion, I wouldn't have been surprised if this was a truth potion given how he's acting' Morgana mused before shrugging politely.

"You must be mistaken, I did nothing to the prince except give him the cake" Morgana said with an innocent smile that made Elaine want to scratch her eyes out.

"You did do something! Don't lie-"

"Elaine just shut up! You're voice is so annoying, honestly why I tolerated hearing it is beyond me" Skye exclaimed angrily as he now saw Anberine gawking at him with raised brows, a smirk formed in his face.

"Hey Rat girl!" he watched Anberine jump slightly before narrowing her eyes at him; it did amuse him to see her react to his mockery and not once did it get old.

At the same time Morgana blinked in surprise at the fact he was ignoring her completely, did something happen with the potion?

"Did I tell you that you remind me of a pale skinny white rat throwing up vomit? Seriously why did you change your hair colour to that? Couldn't you think of anything better?" Skye asked with a cruel glint in his eyes, relishing from the fact her face was going pale before pure anger filled her face for the insult.

Only instead of saying anything or retaliating Anberine had allowed Marcus to grab her hand pull her away. Seeing this Skye twitched a bit in anger at how she was leaving with the boy, why was she not saying anything?

Why was she too scared to talk back? It just infuriated him to no end, she acted so weak that it almost made him pity her and yet he could see she refused to break no matter how many insults he threw at her.

Knowing she wouldn't made him more determined to see every expression that formed on her face, it was strange that one person would excite and encourage him to act like this. So improper and it was towards a peasant of all things.

A peasant who he felt no remorse for acting like this, every time he had to act all polite and proper to people and she- she just... it was so strange indeed. It confused him to no end that he would just do this and yet he didn't want to stop, even if he did try he just found himself unable to.

"Um... my prince, are you okay? Do you want me to get you some water?" Morgana asked looking worried, deep down she truly wanted to slap him for being so crude once again with Anberine. Just what had her friend done to be insulted so badly? She froze as she saw him sneering at her.

"As if" he muttered as now stormed after Anberine and the boy, curious she turned to watch him go after where her friend went. Perceval who was watching this had clenched his hands tightly but rushed after Anberine in order to intercept the prince. The last thing he wanted was to have her get hurt by the prince.

"Don't worry Anberine, it's going to be okay" Marcus said softly as he tried to comfort his friend.

'Then why does his words hurt more than ever?' Anberine mentally pleaded for an answer but found nothing that would justify what was going on. Before she knew it a scream in shock almost left her lips as they saw the prince now approaching them from their left. Silence greeted them but neither said a word due to what happened before.

"What do you want?" Marcus asked coldly now keeping Anberine behind him so the prince would not be able to grab her, seeing this Skye's mouth twitched. His eyes narrowed at Marcus which left the male more on edge. What was the prince up to?

"I want you to leave" Prince Sky said coldly "and I want you to get your hands off of her" however Marcus remained close and refused to release Anberine who was on edge.

"Why? So you can hurt her?" Marcus challenged, his eyes caught a brief glint in Prince Skye's eyes before it faded quickly. Catching this Marcus felt a worried feeling enter his stomach at what could have caused the glint to appear.

"I want her" Prince Skye said sternly, his eyes narrowed at being denied the right to speak to her quietly his eyes narrowed at being denied the right to speak to her quietly and away from the male who refused to leave her side.
