The witty Lilit's (Part - 2)

*Begins from the moment Theo left Jasper behind in the college campus*

"Won't you go after your toy? He is going toward the doom!" Selena said while grinning, her arms crossed.

Jasper was still looking at the way from where Theo left. He glanced at her, his eyes felt cold and distant unlike the time he was together with Theo.

"Don't joke around and go play house with your friend," Jasper said but stopped before taking a step ahead.

"House! What about you, are you going to play toy-toy. Humph! I know you are going to save the Castillo's from a big trouble just for your toy, so stop acting so cold," she said while pouting.

He smirked and buried his hands under his trouser pocket while staring at Selena, "Why would I save their family? If my toy can't even get through this trouble, then there is no need for me to be with him".

"Are you sure?" Selena asked while raising her left eyebrow.

He gave her a cold shoulder and turned back to leave.

"Are you going to the castle?" she asked quickly.

He stopped and said, "Of course! How can I leave such an enjoyable scene which will be created by my toy".

Selena chuckled and brooded her eyes over his back which was turned toward her, "Scene? Yes, go and see it… No, take me too, I need to know how will a handsome child going to solve a trouble which will land itself on Castillo's sooner or later".

Seeing her over excited self, Gird sighed and wondered, 'No matter how I see, they are after all blood related and get excited over others misery'.

Selena again chuckled, her head going through some naughty ideas and she said, "If he wins this witty fight then I will consider marrying him".

Jasper turned around as he heard her sudden shocking words said with an excited smile.

"If you are going to bet then receive something which will be a lose after losing the bet!" he said while frowning.

Seeing his changed attitude, Selena pressed her lips and tried to understand his words which seemed to be like an insult.

"Are you kidding me! Isn't thinking about marrying him is a big lose," she said with an obvious face.

He grinned, "Rather, if Theo wins the fight then don't even go near him, he is mine".

Her lips twisted and she glanced the other way while frowning. 'Tsk! Even though he is handsome, there is no way I will think about marrying since I already have a boyfriend. Calling him Theo! Such an intimacy, even I don't usually call my boyfriend like that'.

Palace main hall:

Mr. Castillo turned around with a surprised face, his dismay gaze were looking at her as if the things he was afraid of most was happening at that point of time.

He gulped and glanced at the King whose smile was everlasting.

"Why can't I enter here, Mr..," Theo said and stopped in between intentionally, "yes, I remember now! You are Mr. Lilit, the latest trend or whatever".

Those words sounded like a taunt to Kade Lilit and he clenched his fist.

"How dare you spout such a nonsense, and where are the guards? How can they let you enter without any prior notice," he shouted.

Theo silently glanced at her father whose complex doesn't looked good.

'I need to hide my real self from others but what will I get in return. No matter what I do, until Prince Jasper wants me, he will not let other prove me guilty in front of the King,' her thoughts running wild while eyes ignoring Kade Lilit existence.

The guard entered inside while panicking as Mr. Lilit shouted while calling their name. Before the guards could understand anything, Theo showed her palm to them and waved out, "You can go back, there is no work for you here".

They glanced at Kade Lilit but since they already had seen Theo face once, when she entered the Palace to have dinner with the King, they knew her authority and silently stepped back to guard the door.

Mr. Kade frowned as he could not understand the situation properly. He knew about Theodore Castillo whose arrival was the talk of all the people of the capital but how did he looked like, he had no idea. Except for her pink hair, he remember nothing more.

"What's going on? Why did they returned on your order?" Kade Lilit said a little calmly then earlier.

Theo showed her respect the king by cross putting her hand on her shoulder and then glanced at Kade Lilit as the King gave her permission to rise back.

"In presence of his majesty, you are shouting! I wonder who is showing impudence," she said while staring him coldly, "what more, you don't even know how to show your respect to the country's second Prince, rather you are showing your ugly side after being trending on the social media".

The official standing at the other side get shocked and started to murmur while Kade Lilit become stupefied.

Mr. Castillo shook his head in dismay, he was afraid that Theo might show her real self which was far away from a child's IQ, but now since it happened, he could do nothing more then stand still.

'Even if I got arrested today for a crime I have never done, still I wanted you to live happily, however, it doesn't seems possible in anyway,' Mr. Castillo thought while being depressed.

Kade Lilit was confused as to whether he should apologize or question Theo's mental condition. He glanced at the King who was smiling as if nothing was wrong with Theo and if he doesn't minded then there was no way Kade Lilit could say anything without having any back up.

He glanced at the official who were unwilling to question anything related to Theo since he got his rank increased as soon as he become stable.

'Since no one is willing to ask any question regarding his son mental condition, I should wait until, I get someone to back me up, and for now I should target his father. There is no way, he could do anything even if he is like a normal person,' Mr. Kade thought while staring at Theo.

"I wonder what's taking you so long to apologize for your rudeness, or have you forget your manners after teaching them to others?" Theo said while giving him a vicious glare.

Mr. Lilit gulped and wiped his sweats, his eyes afraid to look at hers and he said, "Forgive me your highness! I never thought that his highness will come here when elders are having a talk".

Even though he was apologizing, his sarcastic words were, too, easy to be just ignored.

Theo smirked and said, "Elders talk! I wonder when the talk of justice become the Elders talk".

Mr. Lilit gasped and looked here and there on the ground. He was continously wiping his sweats while feeling uneasy.

"That's not what I mean, your highness! I was simply.." Theo meddled between his words before he could complete his words.

"Forget it, I heard that you are finding the culprit who hung you on the pillar, but I can't understand, what my father has to do with this?" she asked confidently.

Mr. Lilit who was looking down because of Theo's pressurizing aura, looked up with a smirk, "Its because I am suspicious of Mr. Castillo".

The arrogance filled within Kade Lilit's eyes was quite provoking but Theo found it interesting since she found it fun to walk on his arrogance after defeating him.

"What made you say such thing, Mr. Lilit?" asked Theo.

Mr. Lilit hesitated a little but he felt excited as Prince Jasper and Princess Selena entered the hall together.

'Now that the cruel prince is here, I am sure this stupid Theo will fall down since he is an obstacle in the Prince path to the throne' Kade Lilit smirked while glancing at them.

Theo could read his expressions and she intentionally put a sad face to let him misjudge the situation.

"Your toy is losing!" Selena whispered as she stood beside Jasper.

Theo glanced at her as he heard the word toy, it was quite irritating but since she was still weak, she silently let those words go 'Just for a little more while, after that I will toy with you people!'.

Seeing Prince Jasper, Mr. Lilit felt like his wings have spread in the air. He was in the delusion that Jasper would definitely want to throw Theo away from his path, so he took the bet and let his mouth run.

"I heard from people that, Mr. Castillo right hand have been injured by a bullet and since I, too, have shot a bullet at the assassin right hand, I am quite curious whether that rumors are true or not," he said while hiding his smile.

Mr. Castillo got shot the same night as Mr. Kade kidnapping and that happened because Theo went rampant to seek revenge. If it was proved that what Mr. Kade said was true, then it would almost become impossible for Theo to save her father.

Her brows furrowed and she glared him as Mr. Lilit said, "I don't want to be suspicious of Mr. Castillo, too, but just to stop the ongoing rumors, it would be better for Mr. Castillo to pull his sleeves up and show his bare arm to everyone present here. It won't be any problem, right, your highness!".
