The King taps on his chair and stares unbelievable at Count Argente.

He can't help but laugh in anger.

"Your highness, a decree came!" Diego frowns when he was forcibly awaken.

The woman by his side wrapped herself hurriedly and was guided out.

"What?" Diego snorts.

The aide looks at Diego's neck and chest full of hickeys.
He can't even know where to start but the situation is very urgent.

"Hurry, your highness, a decree came!"

Suddenly Diego was elated.
"A decree for me?"

The aide is also smiling.
"Yes!"

"Why didn't you call me earlier?" Diego went to the bathroom to fix his face and change clothes.
It still took him 20 minutes.
The one carrying the decree is not showing impatience since he is still delivering decree for a royal family.
Even though Diego is no longer a big deal, he will still be given a handsome tip for delivering decree.

"I am here!" Diego smiles happily.

The deliverer stands properly and unscrolled the decree.

"The King hereby decree his third son, Prince Diego Aman Luncanter, 20 years of age to be wedded to Lady Emely Florecence Argente after the wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Please accept the decree."

Diego is shocked beyond words.

2 years ago.
This is a wish the King refuse to give him no matter how much he begs.
Back then, he still have everything in the world, just an extended hand and he can grab everything but now that his mother is dying, his youngest brother are dying and he is deemed unworthy, the King is telling him to get married to a COUNT'S DAUGHTER?

And not only that...The King is telling him to witness the marriage of his woman and Dwayn?

He angrily grabs the delivery man and knock him to the wall.

The aide hurriedly grabs Diego but failed to stop him.

"Your highness! How can you do that?" The aide took the unconscious man and held his head.

Diego angrily glares.
"I can't even knock a stupid delivery man now?"

"You are insane! This is a delivery man of a decree that directly answer to his Majesty! Knocking the King's people....How dare you do this?"
The aide shouted teary eyed.

Diego angrily kicks him too.
"You dare shout at me? Who gives you the right? Huh?!"

The aide finally lost it and grabs Diego's leg tightly.

"Open your eyes your highness! I am the last person that care for you! Please do not throw away my feelings!" He screams aloud in desperation.

"Nonsense!" Diego knocks him out too and called the knight to throw him away along with the delievery man.
The Prince coldly remove him from his post.

The aide wake up dumbfounded.
All the years of hardwork.
He is the Prince study body and he called him his closest friend back then.

Tears can't stop dropping down.
He bows toward the palace while he screams in agony.

"Your highness, listen to me....Listen to me....."

Emely chuckles at the stupid man.

"Look, I am here to recruit you." Emely smiles.
"You can get revenge toward a person that throw you so heartlessly."

The aide looks at Emely.
"The reason why he changes so much....Is all because of you." He took all his belongings and walks away.

Emely was enraged.
"What a fool!" She shouted.
"You think Prince Diego ever consider you as a friend? He doesn't even know your name!" She laughs.
"What will you do now? Leave the kingdom and do what? What kind of job will you do? How would you live? If you cooperate with me. You will only need to give me useful information and be done with it! You will leave with large money on your hand and even revenge over that nasty person who thinks he is still something who will become king!" Emely mockingly giggles.

The aide stops and turn around.

Emely looks elated.

"I pity you Lady Argente. I truly do."

Emely face turn green.
"Pity me. Someone like you?"

The aide looks up.
"The Prince may throw me away. It's true that he doesn't even know my name. But I will never betray him. You on other hand...You are so used to people betraying you that you think it's normal. You are so pitiful."

Emely didn't say anything. She just stare at the man's eyes.

After a long silence, Emely smiles.
"You are right. Nobody is loyal to me. But it is still not your turn to pity me."

The aide laughs.
"Maybe, you are right. Good day Lady Argente and goodbye."

As watching the man getting smaller and smaller, Emely feels a bit empty inside.

"How can someone like him....have someone like you?"
She sneers and get back to her carriage.
