The Crazy Art Called Love

17 | The Concept of Blackmail

~~Ultra Violet's POV~~

"Are you sure this is all of it?" I asked as I held the photographs in my hand.

My last encounter with the princess did not go as I expected. But I did learn some valuable information before I left. Lloyd Garmadon was in love with her. He even brought over some flowers. How pathetic.

"Yes, ma'am. Our members have followed them everywhere they went and took photos." One of the members of my gang reported.

A little birdy told me that the Green Ninja and the Jade Princess have been going out on dates. I assumed the princess sneaked out each time since there were no guards present.

Their latest? A beach day. I instructed two bikers to follow them in a disguise and take some proof. Luckily, being a diving instructor and a boat driver were the perfect cover. In my hands was a really clear photo of the green-loving couple cuddling on the boat. I gagged at the sight but it was perfect.

"And the others?" I looked up to find Mr. E bringing in a box of photographs. Each captured the activities that the two had together. "Excellent work, Mr. E."

"What do you plan to do with these, Quiet One?" Killow asked as he picked up a photograph.

"If little miss princess doesn't want to give me the information, perhaps her parents would be happy to know she had been sneaking out with a particular ninja." I rubbed my hands. It was the perfect plan.

"What happens if the Green Ninja finds out?"

"Let him. In fact, send it to him right now."

~~Lloyd's POV~~

I had just finished dinner with the team and we were all huddled up in the living room.

"I can't believe you went swimming at this weather!" Nya exclaimed and I chuckled.

"Are you sure you're not sick?" Kai asked with worry.

"I'm fine, Kai. Nothing to worry about." I assured him.

"Any suggestions?" Cole held up some old DVDs and we started debating on what to watch.

"Definitely a horror movie!"

"No way. That thing gives me nightmares."

"I do not understand how you enjoy watching the same film over and over again."

"Fritz Donnegan's movies are awesome, Zane!"

As I listened to them bicker, my phone vibrated in my pocket and immediately went to check it.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx: If you don't want the princess in trouble, you better not interfere.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx: We have proof that you have been sneaking her out the palace.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx: I would stay away while I could if I were you.

Me: Who are you? And how did you get this number?

Xxxxxxxxxxxx: Let's just say we have our ways, Green Ninja. Besides do you really want these out in public?

The stranger proceeded to send photos of every single activity Harumi and I had done. Even a particular moment on the boat which made me blush as I remembered what happened. I knew that instructor was hiding something.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx: No one shall know about this, if you choose not to interfere with our plans.

"Lloyd? Hello? What's wrong?" Jay waved a hand in front of me and I looked up from my phone to find them all staring at me.
