CHAPTER 2

"Do we have a visitor?".Harry asked Percy when he saw her reaction.

"Excuse me".she replied, she was more annoyed with the question than she was with Mato.

"Arrogant!Always arrogant. I guess I need to see the person who got you well".Just as he said that, he barged into the room like it was his.Mato, who was laying on his bed shot his eyes open but his mouth worked before his eyes did.

"Don't you have any regard for visitors here?".his demeanor changes as soon as he saw the prince.he stood and bowed immediately while Harry followed suit.

"It's nice to see you again prince Mato,I didn't know you were around. I thought the room was empty so I barged in. I apologize for my behaviour".

Harry had met Mato in a forest when he was fifteen. he had seen Mato's powers which surpassed his own despite the fact that he was five years older than the latter so he dare not offend him.

"it's nothing prince Harry, why do you have to be so formal with me,you're also apologizing. you don't owe me any respect, you are way older than me ".Mato said then he noticed the smirk on Harry's face.

'is he always like that?even at the face of death he was smirking then'.Mato thought.

Harry got out of the room and went to the Palace court. There he met his father and mother talking about some official duties. he wondered when the king will stop involving the queen in political matters.

"Your majesty"Harry bowed before the king then he faces the queen and also bowed. It was only who seems to remember that his parents are royalty. Percy seems to have totally forgotten.

"Harry why are you here?".Hermes asked because he knows that Harry would never come to the palace court unless needed. He was the quite one but also merciless when angered even his parents feared his wrath.

"His majesty, would you mind if I go out for a hunt?".he bowed again.

"I wouldn't".Hermes said then Harry bowed again but just as he was about to leave.

"Would you be back before dinner?".queen Elora asked.

"yes I will".again he was stopped but by Percy this time.

"I will go with you".she said.

"Then change into a better clothe,I can't take someone in a dress along with me".He said without turning back. "I'll be waiting at the palace gates if you're not done in ten minutes then don't bother yourself".

Immediately, Percy ran into her chamber to get dressed. she was going with her brother who never allows anyone to follow him.She knew he only allowed her to follow him because of their parents. In the next ten minutes, she was already at the palace gate only to find Harry and Mato talking and smiling as if they've known each other for years.

"Prince Mato,here comes my sister Percy".Harry said as soon as he noticed her,Mato glanced at her then as if remembering something his gaze went back to her then he looked at her closely.

"Are princesses allowed to put on trousers or it's only done here in Mampi kingdom".Mato asked Harry though his gaze was still on Percy.

"Who cares about what others put on except from a jerk who doesn't even know how to relate with girls not to talk about what they put on".Percy shot at him.

"Percy!".Harry shouted. "I'm sorry for my sister's behavior. I will understand if you don't want to go for hunting".He stopped as if contemplating on finishing the statement or not.

"It's nothing".Mato said looking at Harry as if he just won a million contract.

Harry noticed the demeanor of the environment and for the first time he laughed nervously.

"Woah!Harry you've never laughed ever since I can remember"Percy said then looked at him again. "For the first time in years your mood changed".

Harry didn't even bother to look at her.he moved forward but then he noticed that Mato and Percy are still standing there.

"Let's go".

"What about our horses".Percy asked.

"Horses?we're not going far so we don't need them and we need to back before dinner".

"You're really going to have dinner with us?are you doing this for your so called friend or mom".

"Percy,mom asked me to come for dinner so I will".

"Hmmm!!I see".Percy snickered. This time Harry laughed hard then looked at his sister then patted her head like she's some fluffy puppy.

"Do you know that his Highness keeps flaunting that you like mom but you look like the queen mother".Then Harry smiled and moved on.

"Queen mother!You've been smiling a lot lately and you won't stop calling dad his Highness".Percy said running after him and Mato.

"You know Percy, he's always a king, you are the one who chooses to disrespect him but I don't and I won't and about me smiling lately I've found something more fun to do than sitting down in the palace all day".Harry said as he flipped his ponytail.

"Really!!!Tell me about it".Percy smiled charmingly.

"Be my guest".Then he walked back then stood beside Percy then he whispered."Was that smile for me or Mato".Then he walked forward Percy blushed scarlet then ran after him laughing but he was already already already at the city gates.
