Henna? Connoly said in a slight depressed tone...

"You're worried now, aren't you?" Eason asked him teasingly...

"Yes, I am worried about her." he said.

"Whom? Revena?" Eason asked him.

"No, Henna ofcourse I haven't seen her anywhere, where is she?" he replied..

"I don't know, maybe in the dungeon with Aiden or Alda?" Eason said..

"It's not good for her to roam in the dungeon again and again or to go to meet Alda again and again..." he said.

"I know, maybe you should speak to her and ask her not to roam around like that..." Eason said.

"Hmmm..." Connoly hummed in response and went inside the palace again. He went in the dungeon to find Lovisa but she wasn't there...

"Where is she?" he asked Aiden...

"I don't know, she came to me and-" before Aiden could complete he spoke, "And you fought with her again?"

Aiden nodden and Connoly shook his head and left..

He went to Revena's dorm to find only Noa there... 

"Where is your sister, Noa?" he asked.

"Well, if you're asing about Reve-" before she could complete he spoke out,"Henna, I am talking about Henna..."

"Oh, I don't know, I haven't seen her from yesterday night..." she said..

Connoly nodded and went out, he asked one of the maids, "Have you seen any maid wearing a scarf on her face?" 

"Apologies prince, I haven't" she replied..

"Maybe, basement?" Connoly spoke to himself and went there...

He went to the basement and found that the door wasn't locked... "She must be here." he spoke to himself and went in...

Connoly moved through the dusty old rooms of the basement... He heard some laughs coming from the other room without making any noise he went near just to find Revena and Louis there...

Revena's Pov-

I was feeling so low when that jerk said me those words, but now its all good again, here with Louis, who knows how to make someone laugh... He was telling me about his funny sword practices and how he failed everytime, I swear, I never laughed this much before... He was looking straight into my eyes while I was on the verge on falling due to laughter...

I looked at him to see his lovely gaze upon me, he put a strand of hair behind my ear, as he always does and carresed my cheeks...

He just put his hands behind my neck and pulled me closer slowly, I closed my eyes cause I knew what was coming next, he was going to kiss me, until I felt some other sensation on my skin like some other person  pulling me towards him....

I opened my eyes to see Connoly standing between me and Louis with an angry look on his face and Dark gaze in his eyes... Only his look gave me shivers down my spine, it was like, he was going to murder Louis anytime now...

                                                  -END OF POV-

"C-Connoly" Revena said stuttering feeling embarassed infront of him...

He moved his gaze towards Revena and again towards Louis.... He glared at him from head to toe...

Revena looked down and Connoly said, "Leave."

"But-" before she could continue, Connoly shouted at her," DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I SAID LEAVE!"

She left the room... "Stay away from her." he said to Louis "or else."

"Are you threatening me?" Louis asked.

"Whatever you think it maybe..." he replied.

"Well, prince Connoly, if you were able enough, King Eldrick would've choosen you as a chief guard but see, I am standing here right infront of you, you know I think, you must admit that you're not able enough." Louis said.

Connoly tried to control his anger  and said, "I don't have to be the chief guard to show how able I am..."

"Well, I have to go, I don't have much time to spend here talking with some pathetic one." with that Connoly left the room and Louis gritted his teeth and said, "We'll see prince."

He moved through the corridors when he found  Lovisa there... Lovisa saw him and moved towards him..

"Connoly, are you ok?" she asked him.

"Well, I should be the one asking this." he replied.

"Your face is red... Breathe in, breathe out." she said.

"I am not doing that." he said.

"DO IT!" Lovisa said sternly and Connoly did as she said.

"Feeling better? By the way what's the matter?" she asked.

"Its nothing... well, stay in contact, don't roam around much, remember you're a maid. And don't fight with Aiden that much.." he said.

"Ahh, it was your Aiden who made fun of me." she said.

"Whoever it was, just don't.." he said.

Lovisa nodded at his words and went from there...

Connoly spotted Revena roaming through the corridors, seeming like she was tensed about something.

She was walking,looking down thinking about something when she again collided with Connoly but this time,she didn't fall cause he grabbed her wrist.

"I'd like to have a little talk with you" he said as she stood there and followed him.

They went to his dorm... "About the incident in the basement, I think you saw Louis trying to kiss-" before she could finish he inturupted, "Revena, Revena who told you that I was going to talk about Louis?"

Revena gulped at his words...

"Don't lie, I know you were going to ask me about it." she said sternly trying not to look weak.

"Well then, wasn't he your friend?" he asked.

"He is-" again before she could complete Connoly inturupted her, "And, if I didn't pull you from him, were you going to kiss him?"

Revena didn't know how to answer those questions.... "Why are you asking me so much? Its my life, my choice." she said..

"Well, then..." with that, he moved towards Revena's face, their faces inches apart, her heart skipped a beat...

"I wish you all the best." with that he left the room leaving her completely astonished with his actions...
