Royal Storm [ON HOLD]

14

Manipulating the game-

As Rain kept himself in the Prince's rear view, he felt himself in a odd place as he doesn't know what to do. He has never been okay around crowds and he doesn't want to embarrass the Prince so he just stand there without interacting with anyone.

Rain wasn't have a good time tonight.

"You seem to be taking your job seriously." A person spoke beside Rain.

"Huh?" Rain responded as he saw Prince Stop standing beside him with a champagne glass.

"Prince Venice said you are here to inspect my party. Are you a royal inspector or his.....well you know." Stop said as he changed his mind on what he was gonna say at first.

"His what?"

"His toy. I've known Prince Venice for a very very long time and he has never been in a relationship before so I assume he is more of a player Bachelor like his cousin Prince Prapai." Prince Stop explained.

"Player?" Rain repeated as he is confused.

"You didn't think Prince Venice was a loyal man. He must of slept with tons of people. I mean why wouldn't he. He is handsome, rich, and have so much power. Just like King Vegas use to be at that same age." Stop tells Rain.

Rain turns and looks at Phayu and sees him talking to a beautiful elegant woman as they share a toast together. For some reason Rain heart sank as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He wasn't sure why he was feeling this way but he definitely felt betrayed.

"And look at him now, an unfaithful man will always stay the same." Prince Stop mentioned.

Rain was about to cry but he quickly chin up and put up a fake smile.

"P'Payu is free to date and sleep with whoever he wants. For I am just a friend that he asked to be his guest." Rain said.

"Are you sure? You two are just friends?" Stop asked as he wanted to make sure.

"Yes." Rain answered.

"Great because I wanted to privately give you a tour of my palace. I think you would love it." Stop smiled as he offered Rain.

Rain did promise Phayu he wouldn't go far and should stay put but he is clearly busy and distracted.

"I could tour with you for a few but P'Payu wants to make sure I stay here so let's be quick before he realizes that I am not here." Rain said and Stop smiled as he nodded and Rain followed him to a tour of his palace.

"Last spot is my favorite place in my palace." Stop said as he opened the door to let Rain in first. He turned on the light and Rain eyes widened.

"OH....MY....LORD! This view is so....so beautiful." Rain commented.

"I love it up here. It where I can see the entire town and the people below. It's beautiful right?" Stop said as he stood beside Rain at the highest point of his palace.

"You have the best view ever and no wonder you love it here." Rain said as he was watching the view.

Stop smiled that Rain loves his balcony view but a question has been bothering him all night since his conversation with Rain.

"Not to ruin all this but I wonder how a cool guy like you got mixed up with Prince Venice and why do you call him P'Payu?" Prince Stop asked finally.

Rain was hesitant to explain and wasn't sure if he should exposed his truth to Prince Stop but Rain felt that it wouldn't harm anyone if he told Stop a little.

"I met P'Payu six years ago and we were friends but I guess I didn't want to live under a rule of his and I left his palace without telling him. After then, I lived independently, I was working, and was engaged with a family I was living with. I still don't know why I call Prince Venice P'Payu still. I guess......I'm just use to it now." Rain explained his story but everything.

"Ahh I see, well maybe you should leave again." Prince Stop suggested and Rain quickly turned his head.

"I cannot leave this time. I am the only one that can help P'Payu and stop him from his ruthless ways towards commoners."

"So you're trying to change him? But how would you even do that?"

"Staying by his side no matter what. Speaking of side I should head back before P'Payu notice that I am gone." Rain quickly said as he tried to leave.

"Hey, wait! I never gotten to know your name yet!" Stop shouted.

"My names Rain!" Rain shouted as he left Prince Stop.

"Rain? Very interesting." Prince Stop smiled to himself.

Rain rushed towards the party as he tried to look for Phayu but it was crowed with more royal people. Rain felt a tap on his shoulder and it was Sky, who looked worried.

"There you are. Where have you gone?" Sky asked him.

"It's a bit of a story but where is P'Payu?" Rain asked him.

"Still talking to people. He hasn't noticed that left yet but you shouldn't try to leave again. Not even for a second more." Sky advised.

"I was with Prince Stop. He gave me a tour of his palace." Rain admitted.

"You what?! Are you out of your mind?" Sky questioned Rain.

"What do you mean?"

"Prince Stop is Prince Venice biggest rival and enemy and would do anything to find Prince Venice weakness to take him down. You should have been informed by this. Whatever you do, don't go near Prince Stop again." Sky orders Rain.

"Are are sure? P'Payu is pretty bad but Prince Stop seems.....nicer."

"Don't be dimmed Rain. Prince Venice is far better. Prince Stop is much worser and done worse. He's a manipulator and worse killer. If he wanted to, he could of killed your just for fun." Sky mentioned.

"Is he really that crazier?" Rain questioned.

"Affirmative, very much crazy." Sky answered.

"Then, I'll do my best to stay away from him." Rain agreed.

If Rain knew this information, he wouldn't have agreed to go with Prince Stop but Rain thought he was nice and polite to him. He didn't sense any crazy from him.

A/N: Ignore the mistakes if there is any. I didn't check :)
