"It is not that simple..." Prince Andrew said with extreme coldness in his voice.
"What do you mean?" Zander probed deeper. He is always curious but they are usually silent about matters of the heart.
"What my brother wants to say is... We also want to have a happy life, marry the woman we truly love, and build a happy family with her but sadly, we cannot..." Prince Anders smiled wryly.
"You mean to say... You have someone you love but you just cannot have?" Zander was amused by the revelation. The two princes remained silent which is a clear indication that his idea is right! "Why? Is she already married?" He wants to ask for more information. He is very curious to know more about them and understand their thoughts and emotions...
Prince Andrew laughed maniacally while Prince Anders suddenly became dead serious for the first time when they heard his question. Zander gulped involuntarily when he saw their weird and disturbing reaction. He wants to scold himself for trying to dig deeper and poke his nose into their personal lives! Now, he suddenly feels that he dug his own grave but it was already too late to regret it!
"Do you think it would stop us even if she is married?" Prince Andrew declared seriously after his scary and creepy laughter turn into a lopsided smile.
"What do you mean? Isn't it a crime to steal someone's legal wife?" Zander mustered all his courage to remain calm when he replied. For some reason, his heart is beating wildly and his gut feeling is telling him to run away while he still can!
Prince Anders gave him a horrifying grin this time before saying, "What crime are you talking about when the husband is nothing but a cold rotten corpse?"
"What?!!" Zander's eyes widen in shock when he heard Prince Anders' explanation. His body was suddenly covered in goosebumps!
Prince Anders burst into cheerful laughter next and shook his head before saying, "Gotcha! You should have seen your face! You believed us so easily!!!"
"Just as I thought... Your Highnesses are just joking!" Zander sighed then laughed together with Prince Anders, thinking that they are just pulling his leg and he fell miserably to their crazy joke!
Sadly, Zander did not notice that Prince Andrew's face remained emotionless and cold as his eyes grew darker while Prince Anders' cheerful laugh slowly turned into dry laughter as they are secretly thinking...
If I finally found her and discovered that she married another man... Who says I am just joking?!!
Zander returned to the General's Mansion in great spirit. He had never been this happy and satisfied with his life! He immediately went to the bedroom. Inside, he saw that she is already sleeping peacefully. He is not surprised because he went home late this time as he spent more time talking with the two princes. He joined her in bed, very careful not to wake her up. Next, he embraced her sleeping form, silently thinking how lucky he is to marry such as great woman! As usual, he observed her attractive features and felt sorry for his wife... He cannot understand why someone so beautiful, so intelligent, so outstanding like her would choose to hide from the world!
In his opinion, she should not stay in the mansion like a prisoner... She should see the world and do anything and everything that she wants! He noticed that she wants to be free and independent during their vacation! He wants to take her to different places in the capital and experience several great things with him! He wants everyone to see that his beloved wife is not what they thought! He wants to introduce his wonderful wife to all the people that he knows, especially to his two close friends... He put a light kiss on her moist lips before he closed his eyes with a happy smile on his face.
Prince Anders went back to his mansion late at night. The servants and guards greeted him politely when he entered. The butler immediately stepped forward to inform him in advance...
"What's the matter?" Prince Anders immediately ask when he saw their worried faces.
"Your Highness, we apologize for our incompetence! Princess Lizbeth... She... She moved her things inside your courtyard! We tried to stop her but she insisted that we must not interfere because it is her legal right and wifely duty to stay there and serve Your Highness... We are very sorry, Your Highness! We deserved severe punishment!!!" The butler kneeled together with the other servants and guards.
Prince Anders looked at them serenely before he said, "You may stand now! It is not your fault! Do not worry, I will not punish you. This is my personal issue, I will deal with this matter tonight..." He did not wait for their response. He hastily left them and proceed to his courtyard.
The servants and guards were extremely happy that their master is so kind and gentle. He did not punish them severely like what other masters would do to their useless servants and guards...
