Ceasar's POV
I entered Alex's office to find Alex sitting on the couch and in front of him sat Lady Gracia and beside her a man I knew nothing of.
Who was that man and by his sitting beside her when her fiance was here? Ah, I laugh internally I almost sound like I am jealous.
Well, I don't care who sits beside her. Right now the most important thing is how to stop Alex from killing me. Alex is my best friend, he cares for me, I know this, but he won't spare a thought before killing me if it means that I have done his sister wrong.
Guessing our deal is exposed and that he had been detailed by Lady Gracia, I approach them, and sit on the couch beside Lady Gracia, making her shift a bit.
"Look, Alex, I know ---" I tried to explain.
"Stand up and step aside" He ordered
"Huh?" I asked confused and did what he told me, and there it was, a punch landed on my face, I felt the warm trickle of blood down my lip as the punch split open my skin, the metallic tang of blood filling my mouth.
I should have seen it coming, he could be punished to death for hurting royalty, but at the moment he cared about nothing. I knew he was way too calm.
Another punch was coming my way when a warm voice came from behind me, "Brother", she said and her brother halted, his eyes were intense like two pools of azure fire.
"I won't stop you from punching the Crown Prince." What the heck Lady Gracia I thought you were helping me.
"But", she continued," You have to punish me too, for I too was involved in the said deal, it will be fair then. Or we could talk it off like civilised people." I saw Alex withdraw his hand and sat on the couch again.
I looked at Lady Gracia with the look 'thank you for saving my life', to which she just nodded and sat back and I followed her stead. Well, it's not like I couldn't save myself, but I would rather not beat my friend and one who had no fault at that.
All this while that weird man that sat on the left of Lady Gracia enjoyed the show. I could see how much he was enjoying this.
To quell my curiosity I asked, "Who is this man, Lady Gracia."
"He, well you could say he is my personal knight", she said nudging the man beside her and asking him to introduce himself. How unladylike of her, to touch another man, right in front of her fiancee. I mean, I get it it's a deal and all, but still. Besides wasn't she against the idea of the knight but I guess, being almost killed changed her mind.
"I Edmund Florentine, greet you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I am assigned as Lady Evelyn's knight ", he said emphasising Lady Evelyn as if taunting me that he gets to call her by her first name. Well, I could also call her by her first name, if I want to, there is no big deal.
"Lady Ev-- Lady Gracia is in your care now sir Edmund," I said to him unable to say Lady Gracia's first name. What is wrong with me? Ah Why am I being so hung up on his words, I'll let him be for now.
"So now, Alexander, about the trip that you mentioned in the letter, I suppose I could come. When are we planning to leave?" I asked to which Alexander replied without taking any time,
"Tomorrow."
