My Way to Get To You (MxM)

Chapter 10

"Oh, thanks God Kaiden, you back !" said Natalie while hugging me.

"Am I make you worried ?" I said tho her

"Of course I worried, you're my fiancee !"

"And to your brother ?" suddenly Prince Shelton come between us

"Come on, I'm worried about you too, but It's different kind of worried. But, of course I'm really glad that you finally come home. Are that clan give you a hard time ? I know how strong you are, brother, I know you can escape from any difficulity with just one hand."

"It's different kind of difficulity."he said "It's so difficult that until now, It's still not finished." He look at me again with that fierce look. I can't look him much longer.

From far, I heard more people coming. It's Easton and General Anton. "So, finally you've came back !" said general Anton, loud and clear, without pity.

"Yes, general, I'm sorry took a longer time to get prince save to the palace !" I said while bowing to him.

"I wanna talk to you this afternoon ! Clean and prepare yourself, and meet me in the main camp !"

"General Anton, if this about our late come back, I can explain everthing !"said prince Shelton.

"It's about me and my subordinate, as a prince, you can't interfare us !"

"But as the second general I can !"

"The point is, I have to discuss this privately with Commander Kaiden, and as the first general, I forbid you, my second general to interfare us !"

General Anton leave immadiately with Easton without asking any other thing. Even Easton don't ask me anything about my absent.

I am preparing my meeting with general Anton when Easton suddenly dragged me in the weapon supply room. "Before you talk to General, I want to prepare you what happend, so you can come up with the best excuses."

"What do you mean with excuses ?"

"About you and the prince. We saw everything, we realise everything ! Yes, we know everything !"

I stunned, suddenly my world is spinning, I lost all of my energy. I lean back to the nearest wall I found. "How do you..!" Then I realise everything. The people I feel I saw back in the East Palace, is real, and the worst, it's them ! Someone who I really want to hide this truth."

"You.. come to the East Palace ?"

"How good do you think  General Anton is ? As soon as general Anton realise that you and the prince didn't come back that night, he start to search the Black Lotus Clan's hiding place. Once he confirm you and prince Shelton not with them, he contact me to follow him to the East Palace. It's the nearest place from that bridge, he afraid something happened with you two that make you unable to move to back to the main palace."

"So, everybody knows ?" I said hestitanly. If that's true, It's the end of me, and I'm gonna go right now.

"You know that the East Palace is king's private and secret palace ? So lucky you it's just me and general Anton who knows."

I'm a little bit relieve, but the expression that Easton give me right now, and the tone of General Anton back then, means everything still be a problem.

"What are you thinking ?"said Easton angrily "You're about to marry the princess ! It's Natalie ! Our childhood friend ! My best friend ! Moreover that things is immoral ! Doing that with the prince make you like a cheap prostitute we always making fun of ! It's not something a commander can do !"
