16 The King Sons Revealed !

Arianna layed on the bed all day long, she constantly tossed from one end of the bed to the other, she was reminiscing over the experience she had with prince Liam. " That man seems to be a lover boy ! " She said out loud to herself, rolling over to the other side of the bed, she became silent and just smiled to herself. She hadn't taken her bath, nor had she any proper meal since the wake of the day.

She kept wondering where prince Liam could have been. As much as she didn't feel anything for him, she surprisingly missed him. She found it hard to take her mind a way from the pleasure she had derived from her last night experience with prince Liam, her whole body kept sending her cheap thrills and spills. For a moment she envisioned her self falling deeply in love with prince Liam... Then she gave a silly laughter. " I wouldn't even know what to do if he falls in love with me, I'd end up blowing it up as soon as it starts ". She said laughing even more.

She remembered the dream, she kept wondering what it meant. She was convinced somehow within her that prince Liam was not a bad person, and that he didn't mean any harm, it was written all over him. However she didn't know who amongst the king's other sons plotted to kill her. She became terribly scared within her.

Was she even ready to fight any battle when it comes? There she was fighting the battles of acting to be Brianna, and making sure she doesn't fall in love with prince Liam, yet she was very convinced that the battles she was going to fight at St Lucia were even more...

She rolled back to the other side of the bed, migrating from reminiscing over pleasure to the great fear of the unknown.

" I must call father! " She said. She searched for her cell phone and dialed her Father's number...

" Arianna my dear " her father called from the other side of the phone. " Yes father! How are you ?"

" Oh dear, I am managing really well. " Her father replied.

" How's the kingdom ? " Arianna asked with great concern in her voice.

" The kingdom is thriving, ( he answered impatiently ) how are you over there ?" He asked with more concern.

Arainna was silent...

" Arainna are you there ? " Her father called her name. " I am fine father. There are really nice people out here. Any news about Brianna yet ? "

" We have not heard anything for now " her father said trying to hide his grief. " Well we sent out search parties ( he began again ) it's been one whole day, no news yet from them. We remain optimistic. We hope to find her. He concluded with great pains in his voice.

Arainna sensing the pain in her Father's voice, had to end the call soon enough, she didn't want him feeling so sad. Something kept telling her that her sister would be found, she knew it wouldn't come easy, but definitely it was going to happen.

" okay father I got to go. Everything would be fine, don't loose faith. Say hi to mum for me. "

" Bye then " her father replied, as she terminated the call.

As soon as the call was over, there was a loud knock on the door. Arainna got the door. It was aunt Rose. Arainna was glad she came. She had sent for her since morning, but she didn't show up.

" Oh Brianna dearie " she called Arianna stressing the name as usual, making it sound ' Bree-hana '.

" I asked of you, and I was told you have not stepped out of your room since morning. Is there a problem dear? " Aunt Rose asked with her eyes widely opened as she still stood at the door. Arianna just smiled at her, wondering how possible it was for someone if her status to care that much.

" Come in aunt Rose " Arainna said to her, ignoring her questions. Aunt Rose came in, but wouldn't rest on the matter.

" Tell me Brianna dear, does your body still aches? Does your feet still hurt ? " Aunt Rose asked Arianna simultaneously, and looking worried sick.

" Aunt Rose you worry so much. I am doing well. I am fine! " Arianna said laughing a bit.

" Prince Liam instructed that you be taken care of properly, and be fed as well. Look at you, you're looking so pale. "

" Aunt Rose, you make it look like I have starved all day, it's just midday, worry no more, I am doing just fine. Am still getting used to being a bride you know " Arianna said rounding up the matter.

" You should take your bath immediately, prince Liam can't meet you like this, those maids would be in trouble ". Aunt Rose said still agitated.

" Speaking about prince Liam, Do you possibly know where he could be? " Arainna asked.

" He is going to be the next king of St Lucia, he goes with the king to important meetings, so that when he is crowned, he would know exactly what to do. He left with the king early this morning for one of such meetings." Aunt rose explained briefly.

" Oh ! I see. He is the king's favorite I guess " Arainna asked cleaverly, hoping to get more informations about the prince from aunt Rose.

" It'd be safe to say that, because the king loves prince Liam a great deal, leaving the other two feeling envious at times " aunt Rose said chuckling a bit. And moving into the bathroom to add spices and oils into Arainna's bathing water.

Arainna wondered silently, " but I met three other young men that looked like prince Liam, why did aunt Rose say they were two ?...

Arainna waited patiently till aunt Rose was out if the bathroom, and began asking again.

" Aunt rose! ( She called sharply, making aunt Rose stop abruptly ) I thought the king had four sons ?

" Oh dear " aunt Rose began, " the king has three sons, Prince Roy is not the king's immediate son, he is the king's nephew. The king's brother, being the father of Roy died when Roy was just born and the mother died when he turned six, and so king Lawrence raised him and thought him all he knows. She explained clearly.

" Oh! The king must be nice " Arainna said having gotten what she wanted. She had wanted to ask something about prince Lucas, but for some reason held her self., she didn't want to rush things, she knew very well that with aunt rose, she'd get all the informations she desired.

" Your water is ready my princess " aunt Rose announced.

" Aunt rose " Arianna called, neglecting the water announcement.

Aunt rose turned,

" Please I want you to do me a favor, ( aunt Rose just waited ) kindly be my personal maid here "
