2nd Prince Lorraine's office

7th Prince Arthur's Palace Garden

"Peter, first thing in the morning, set a schedule with Prince Lorraine, if I don't deal with it now he will repeat it again", said Arthur sternly.

-"Yes your Highness, you should sleep now I'll handle rest of the situation".

Arthur nodded and left for his room.

He couldn't sleep much, next morning he looked haggard with dark circles.He dressed up and summoned Peter, "Did you set the schedule yet?"

-"Yes, it's done. He will meet you at 12 pm".

-"Good you can leave now".

-"Your breakfast is ready".

-"Okay I'm coming".

Not much maids or stewards worked at Arthur's Palace like rest of the Princes. He had just Peter and Maid Althea. Maid Althea was also Arthur and Peter's nanny when they were kids. Peter comes from a noble family, since childhood he always stood by Arthur's side.

"Your Highness, I have cooked your favorite dish in breakfast", said Althea with a smile on her face, "I've heard you are going through some tough time, good food will ease your mind".

-"Thank you Nana, you're the best!"

Arthur hastily started eating the steak, "Mm Nana this is so delicious!"

Althea chuckled, "Your Highness, eat slowly you might choke!"

Peter with his mouthful of food,"His Majesty would go crazy if he saw this scene."

"I can only be myself when I am with you two", Arthur's face looked innocent and full of emotion.

With a cringed expression Peter replied, "Yeah okay okay! You can eat just the way you like here".

2nd Prince Lorraine can be called boot licker of Crown Prince Harriet. Even though he can easily remove Crown Prince Harriet from the position with his cunning tactics, he decided to play from off stage. He is already favored by the King himself, the palace he lives in is as grand as the crown prince's. Arthur and Peter walked to the 2nd Prince's palace right after finishing breakfast. As always, it was guarded as if the King himself is living here.

-"Your Highness 7th Prince Arthur is here to see you".

-"Let him in".

Arthur and Peter walked in and looked around the vast office room.

-"You're living quite luxuriously my lovely brother".

"That's what you get when you don't laze around and work for your spot", Lorraine replied mockingly.

"You work so hard yet you had to send Capital's best robber in my palace to steal, is that how you work for your spot?" Arthur replied with a grin.

Lorraine clenched his fist and looked at Peter who stood there expressionless.

"Peter leave for a moment, I need to talk to your lord alone", Lorraine said in a stern voice.

"Peter is my secretary, it's his job to be present when I'm talking about something as important as this matter." Lorraine thought for a moment and replied,

"Do whatever you want with the intruder".

Arthur smirked, "He showed loyalty for the wrong person", and left the room.

Lorraine slammed his fist on his mahogany table,"This b*stard!"

"Your Highness is burning witches perfectly these days", said Peter.

"Just see what I do after getting my hands on the golden book".

Arthur's eyes was full of determination.
