Queen's crown

Escape

3rd person's pov :

Forth smiles and hugs back the brunette who is hugging him like a bear.

"Aren't you too big for this Sal ?" Forth asks breaking the hug.

"No I am not big, you are old Forth." Sal replies with a cheerful tone.

Forth smiles again "whatever , come inside. I have prepared some late night dinner for you."

"Awh ! How generous of Kinf Forth."

Forth laughs out loud "done teasing me ? Now can we proceed?"

Sal pouts "I just started. Not fair."

............ 

Forth serves the roast to Sal and signs the maid to serve other foods. The maids follows .

Sal frowns as he sees only one plate in the table "what is this ? You are not wating with me ?"

Forth shakes his head "I already ate and I am not hungry ! So for tonight you are eating alone."

Sal tilts his head "no way ! If you are not eating then I am not either."

Forth laughes again. "Ok ! Ok ! I will eat some fruits then."

"Fruits ?" Sal looks at Forth in disbelieve "you hate fruit !"

"I don't hate . I just don't like eating fruit."

Sal blinks. He is thinking hard "Is it because of Beam ? Beam is vegetarian.  He doesn't eat roast. Is it why ?"

"Why it has to be Beam , Sal ?" Forth asks in a cold tone suddenly.

"Don't try to hide from me Forth. I know. Also queen mother wrote me about Beam creating another mess here. Do you want me to talk with him ? Maybe I can help ?" Sal asks in worry.

"Nobody can help , Sal. You know how stubborn he is . But you don't worry about him. I will manage."

...............

Beam  jumps down from the second floor of King's balcony. He succeeded in escaping from Forth's room. Now he just needs to find Dee.

Beam looks around . There are two gusrds in front of servan't quaters and four guards patrolling in garden. Beam needs to cross the garden to reach servant's quarter.

What should he do ? Should he just walk casually? He is a prince adterall. Who can stop him ?

"Prince Beam !"

Beam freezes hearing a small voice from his behind. He slowly turns around to see who is it.  "Umm ...Chef David ?" 

"What are you doing here ?"

Beam gulps "I have some talks with P'Dee. You know her. She is ..."

"I know P'Dee. But she is sleeping now , most probably."

"Oh no ! I asked her before ." Beam lies.

"Oh ! Then go ahead . I am sorry for stopping you."

Beam nods. He is in a hurry. He could have said it's ok or there is no need to say sorry but he has no time now. He needs to confront Dee before his own mind betrays him.

Beam was about to turn around when he sees David's face. The small face has a gloom aura which he never saw before. Although David doesn't have an extraordinary face yet it is not hollow like it seems now. "Are you ok ?"

David who was looking through Beam focuses his eyes on Beam again "huh ?"

Beam blinks "Are you ok ? You don't live in palace. what are you doing here now ?"
