69 Aftermath 2 (1/2)

*knock, knock*

”A moment, please”

Opening the door was Tomas. I could see that behind him were Jacob, Lukas-nissan and Prince Albert. Bells started to ring on my head when I saw that Brother was not with them.

'This sh*tty Prince is up to no good'

”Oh, is just you. Took you long enough to come here”

Not even sparing a glance to this uncute boy, I entered the room.

I really don't want to pens much time here, so after greeting everyone present I put the report in Albert's table and turn to leave.

”Where do you think you are going?”

”My office. Not everyone is as free as your lover”

”Since you have much time to spit your venom at random Cecile, read the report aloud to me”

”Why must I? You have your assistants. I'm not your subordinate if you do not remember Your Highness”

”Everyone is my subordinate. If I say you'll report, you'll report”

I silently stared at Albert for a long time. Making all the calculations on my head, I concluded that will be the least time consuming to heed by his words than to confront him. Sighing in resignation, I took the report.

Albert smiled slightly in victory. I could only till my eyes to such a childish punishment. I sometimes wonder where is the mature and ice-face Albert. Wherever you are dear know that I miss you and anxiously wait for your return.

”The plan followed the schedule until Miss Julia Hartmann, future Crown Princess (and this Harem's b*tch) interference. Holding hands with Mayne Fournier, she talked with Miss Cecile Dubois. Mayne Fournier wanted to kidnap both Misses to the neighboring country. Miss Dubois attacked him while Miss Hartmann threw a tantrum. Miss Dubois apprehend Sir Mayne Fournier and our four knights and a few other subordinates guarding him. After 15 minutes, the knights and Sir Fournier were dead, and the other subordinates were missing. We manage to apprehend the killer and the others. They then delivered the culprit to the Royal Family, and Dubois House executed the others after taking their statement. We attach the statements in the document in case you want to read. Anything else?”

In response, Albert only tapped his fingers in his mahogany table and looked at me. After a moment that appeared like a lifetime, Albert got up and came closer to me.

”Do you know what you wronged Cecile?”

”En. Trusted that any of you could take care of Julia. Actually, the first wrong was to get involved with this in the first place. If I didn't, four good men could still be alive instead of dying because of someone's stupidity”

”Ha! For the commoner's lives, you decided to be at odds with the Royal Family and bad-mouth Julia?! You- ”

*PA!*

”YOU F*CKING SHUT UP TO THIS LADY! COMMONER'S LIVES? SO WHAT? THEIR LIVES ARE AS MUCH LIFE AS MINE AND YOURS”

”YOU-! You dared to beat me?”

”Beat you? Ha! I have the urge to spit on your disgusting face! What happened to you Albert? You just showed disgust to your subject's lives. Since when do you discriminate between nobles and commoners? And what is so wrong to fight with your family when it was YOUR mistake and not MINE that costed my Knights lives?! Julia was the one to screw this up not me. Why don't you go yell at her? She is your fiancée and keeps getting entangled with all man she encounters. Don't you satisfy her enough? You should-”

”Enough!”

Lukas came behind me and put his hand on my mouth.
