09: THE MEETING (II)

ALEX POV.

I was ready for the weird meeting my mum organized as I stood in front of my large mirror adjusting my tie, I was getting pissed off when it didn't fit well with the black tuxedo I was wearing.

I removed it frustratedly and threw it on my bed.

I heard a slight knock before the person got in.

"Your Highness, are you ready to go to the hall now?" A feminine voice said and I know too well it was her.

I smirked as I turned to look at her and I was speechless.

She looked so beautiful in that blue gown of hers.

I coughed lightly and walked ahead of her.

"Let's go!" I said striding off.

She followed behind me as she tried to keep up with me.

"Are you that lazy to walk?" I asked annoyingly as I waved at the servants who bowed for me.

"You've got long legs and you don't expect me to run and fall with these heels," She said rolling her eyes and I turned to face her.

She stepped back a little, as I moved closer to her catching her arm as I drew her closer to me.

She tried to wriggle out of my hold as the servant stared at us.

"I'm sorry! Can you let go of me! I'm not comfortable with the stares," she begged to give me puppy eyes.

" Remind to zip your mouth when we return," I smirked and she nodded.

I left her alone and continued walking while she followed behind me quietly.

"Are the guest around?" I asked her as we moved closer to the hall.

"Yes, they're, you will have to wait at the door while I tell them to announce your arrival," She explained walking ahead of me.

" We are going in together," I said grabbing her hands and she stared at me.

We gazed into each other eyes, her eyes melting me.

"I have to let them know you are around," She rolled her eyes.

"You can tell the guards to tell them inside, remember the Queen said you're not to leave my side," I smirked.

I didn't want her to go far away from me and I don't know why.

Sometimes she will do something that will want me to kill her and the next moment I'm staring into her eyes, I want her close to me.

"Okay fine!" She said defeatedly while I smirked.

She walked over to one of the guards and whispered in his ear.

He nodded immediately and went into the hall.

Emilia walked back to and I loved the way she took her steps specifically.

"Would you stop staring at me, you are scaring the demons out of me," She whined as I chuckled.

' She's funny too!"

" So you're scared of me huh!" I said leaning closer to her ear.

"Me scared! No way!!" She said proudly.

"We shall see!" I said as I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

She gasped and placed her hands on mine trying to remove them.

"You're just disturbing yourself, you know you are no match to me," I smirked.

"Please will you stop! If the Queen finds us like this, I'm so dead!" She pleaded.

"So you are scared of the Queen, don't I deserved to be scared of too," I smirked enjoying her little drama.

"Okay fine! Fine!! I'm scared of you, Happy now!!!" She yelled a little.

I left her alone immediately chuckling as she muttered some words under her breath.

Her face was slightly flushed as I made another attempt to walk closer to her.

The trumpet blew as they announced the Prince's arrival.

" Get in!" She said.

"We aren't done yet!" I whispered to her and she rolled her eyes walking off.

The doors open as I walked in majestically and waved at the people.

There were cheers and there was a loud round of applause.

I saw my mother from afar as she smiled at me.

I glanced around and saw the Nobles and Kings also seated on their seats and their daughters too as they giggled among themselves.

I glanced at my back as Emilia walked timidly beside me lowering her head.

' I guess she's shy,'.

I walked proudly to my mum and greeted her as she raised her staff on my head.



"Long Live the Queen!" I said bowing.

"Thank you, my son," I said.

I sat on the right-hand side of my mother as the servants started serving food.

"My Prince, it's been a long time," One of the Noble greeted as he bowed lowly.

"Yes," I smirked.

Foods were set on the table and my mouth started watering.

It's not my fault though I'm a lover of food.

"Have you seen those beautiful girls," My mum said whispering in my ear?

" Nope!" I said flatly.

"What do you mean by No?" My mother asked frowning.

" I meant I've not seen the one that I'm interested in," I said rolling my eyes.

" Well you will get introduced to King Charles, he has a very beautiful daughter that you will fall for immediately," My mother smiled happily.

I nodded and continue eating my food.

' Where's Emilia?'

I looked around me searching for her as I caught her taking a grape from one of the servants.

I watched as she threw it in her mouth, she ate it slowly as she smiled.

I still gazed and my facial expressions looked a bit sad.

' What was bothering her?'

" Who has gotten your attention this much, I've been talking to you since," My mother said tapping me lightly on my hands as I jolted from my thoughts.

"I'm sorry mother, I got trailed away," I said as I continued eating.

I glanced back at her but she wasn't there again.

" Cheers to the kingdom and the people of Memramcook," A richly dressed man said as he held a glass of wine and raised it.

Everyone hit their glasses lightly and drank.

"Mother, you said the daughter of King Charles is beautiful rate her from 1-10," I smirked.

" I will give her 8," My mother chuckled.

"Wow! She must be so beautiful!" I said happily can't wait to meet her.

"Where's your personal maid?" My mother asked.

"Uhm! She's over there! " I said pointing my hand in nowhere in particular.

I looked at where I pointed and there she was staring at me.

I signaled to her to come over and she did immediately.

"You called for me, Your Highness," She bowed lowly.

"Emilia Dear, You will take the Prince to King Charles and introduce him to his daughter and you will leave them both immediately. " My mother said.

" Mum! She's still new, How will know the king to introduce me to?" I asked staring at Emilia.

" She was the one who welcomed them when they arrived, You know them don't you?" My mother asked.

" Of course, Your Highness!" She smiled and bowed.

My mother smiled at her and nodded.

I leaned on the table my eyes not leaving Emilia.

"Your majesty, we may leave now!" Emilia said bowing and glancing at me.

I smirked at her and stood up while she led the way.

"He's so hot!" I heard one of the girls say.

"I wish he could look at me and be my boyfriend!" The other one said.

I glanced at them and winked and they became red with embarrassment while I smirked.

We got to where a couple of old men were, they seemed to be so engrossed in whatever they were saying.

"Your Majesty, The Prince is asking of you," Emilia said as she bowed.

" Prince Alex, this is King Charles!" Emilia said as she introduced both of us together.



I shook hands with the old man and bowed a little.

"Here's the popular Prince every lady talk of," He chuckled.

I smirked and glanced at Emilia but she just rolled her eyes at me.

"I would love to introduce you to my daughter," The king said as his eyes search everywhere for his daughter.

"Sure I would love to meet the pretty Princess my mum talked about," I smirked.

The old man chuckled while I glanced at my expensive gold watch.

"There she is! Princess Laura!" Her father called as I glanced towards the direction.

A lady turned back immediately as her eyes searched everywhere looking for who called her.

Her eyes met with her father and she smiled as she began walking over to where we were.

' I thought mother said she's so beautiful and even gave her 8, I would have given her 5 if I were to rate her myself, Emilia is far more beautiful than her, and I would proudly give her 9 and a half

" My Prince! This is my daughter, Princess Laura," The old man introduces waking me up from my trance.

"Ohh! Nice to meet you, Princess Laura!" I said as I took her hands and kissed them trying my best to fake a smile.

Not that Princess Laura wasn't beautiful, she was but not to my taste, she's way too skinny for my type and had large eyeballs which fitted her round face, her eyes were black which equally appraise her dark hair and she was equally tall too.

She was wearing an off-shoulder ball gown that exposed her cleavages but sorry to say she had little breast.

Like I said earlier she's skinny.

I stared at her lips and they were way too thin for my liking.

I glanced at Emilia who was trying her best not to laugh.

" I will take my leave, I hope the Prince has a nice time with the Princess," She said sarcastically.

' Seriously'

I glared at her with eyes warning her not to leave as the Princess already clutched my hands with hers.

' She's even the clingy type,'

Emilia smiled and walked off as my face fell.

"I will take my leave too, let them have some time with each other" The old man chuckled happily.

"Shall we!" I said to the Princess who held my hands tightly trying to be a gentleman, I would be too rude if told her I wasn't interested in her.

"Of course!" She giggled.

' Sorry dear mother but she ain't my type, there's no we can both be together,'
