Knight in Shining Armour

Efforts!!

Chapter - 9

"You! What are you doing with my fiancé?" Amber shouted at her and pulled Ray away from her. Ray tries to explain but he is unaware of the fact that it's better to stay out when two girls are fighting.

"When will you learn manners to knock first before bragging into someone's room?" Sera asked her with a sharp tone to provoke her and before Amber could do something, Castor came there and told her that he sent his brother on his behalf to apologise. His words make her calm a little but on the same hand, Sera misunderstands that Ray was here because of this and does not apologise to her sincerely and glares at him.

"Why don't you go and see the new jewellery collection which I sent to your room?" Castor tries to send Amber away. She agreed but on one condition that Ray would accompany her and take him away.

"Finally! I thought she would burst here", He sat beside Sera, looked at her angry face and quickly stood "Actually I was here to apologise for...".

"No need", she bandaged her wound and looked at him, "your brother apologises on your behalf, so better leave". He thought that her temper was not good and decided to leave but suddenly noticed something.

"Is that a green first-aid box? That means you are...", his eyes were wide open with shock. She was also stunned and looked at him "Actually... I-I...".

"You are an earthling!", he said with a shocking tone.

"Lis..ten actually I.."

"Don't utter a word! You hide such a big thing from us. At Least not me but don't you think you should not keep mom and dad in the dark about this when they love you more than their own sons!" Castor confronted her and she downturned her head with embarrassment. "Did my brother know this or did you cheat him just like us?". She was silent and he shouted at her to answer otherwise he would tell everyone about this.

She lifts her head up, puts one leg over and sits in a comfortable yet attitude position. "You are not taking me seriously, right? Let me show you what I can do", said Castor and went out. She ran after him and saw him going to the king's quarters.

"Mom and Dad, I want to tell you something about Sera", he was about to disclose her secret but she quickly blocked his mouth with her hand and stopped him from speaking.

"What are you both doing?", asked the queen. Castor tries to push her away but Sera whispers to him that if he doesn't stop then today, 2 secrets will be disclosed, one of her and one of him. He looked at her in confusion and she told him that she also knew one of his dark secrets. He pushed her hand away and dragged her outside the room. "What were you trying to say? What dark secret?", he asked angrily.

"You are angry then go and tell them everything", she said innocently. He forced his face to smile and told her not to test his patience anymore and tell him about the dark secret she was referring to.

"That you have feelings for your brother's fiancé!".

"Huh! W-what? ", His voice was cracking like he was hesitating "Is it that obvious".

"You are not even denying it", she teased him and said, "It is very much obvious".

"But...but.."

"Now, if you still want to tell the king and queen then I will accompany you", she said with a sarcastic smile.

"No doubt earthlings are clever and ingenious"

"We can be partners like before. I will protect your secret and you will protect mine, deal?"

"Let me think, I can't just trust a person like you"

"Then let's go inside"

"Okay deal! But one more thing, how did you know about this?"
