Xavier walked up to Isabelle and her face immediately flushed red as she sighted him .

" My..my Lord ". She stuttered and bowed.

" How are you ?". The deep rich voice sounded , maidens couldn't help but drool over him.

"I'm doing fine my Lord ". Isabelle replied .

" Good to hear ,look up at me ". He said and she did ,gazing at those dancing mischievous grey eyes .

" I want you in my chambers ,by dark , understood?". He said and she nodded.

"Yes sir ". She replied and he steeped closer to her ,making the maidens gasp in surprise.

"Let's make some wildfire tonight". He whispered sending chills to her spine . She looked up at him , Isabelle could swear she was drowned to those beautiful glowing eyes.

"I will be expecting you".  He muttered and with that walked out .

" Whoa  can't believe he talked to her "

" I wish I were in her shoes,to be able to have even if it's one second with prince Xavier".

" I envy her though,look at the way he smiled at her ".

Isabelle heard the murmurings of the maidens , secretly she smiled .

Marissa spread the white glowing linen in the table, smiling as she straighted it .

"Urgh, can you stop  romancing it,it's so annoying to see you romancing a table!". Joan groaned and Marissa laughed.

"Keeping a happy gesture and bright mood to things isn't bad is it ?" She retorted and Joan rolled her eyes making Marissa chuckle. They were still in their work when they saw Xavier passed ,the servants gretted him and he only replied with a nod. Joan let out a scoff and made a hiss.

"You can be heard". Marissa said to her .

" And so ? God I just hate the way he is ". She groaned. Marissa didn't say anything but her gaze still remained on Xavier till he was out of sight .

" Believe me when I say prince Liam is the real prince ,he should be the next to take over Camelot someday". Joan continued but Marissa was far from listening as her mind went blank towards the thought of Xavier .

Marissa entered the buttery and took the ale that were lined there . She took the wineskin and was about walking out when she felt a hand wrapped round her waist . Marissa froze and then the familiar scent hit her nostrils.

" Coming into the buttery is not expected by the royal family". Marissa uttered and the figure chuckled and turned her to face him . Liam couldn't help but smile at her .

" Where have you been ?". He asked and she let out a tired sigh .

" And what was that you displayed earlier today ?". He asked again. Marissa sighed again knowing fully well he would ask such .

" Liam you have to stop doing that you know ". She said calmly and he raised his brows.

" Doing what exactly?".

" I don't want the whole of Camelot knowing you and i are friends,they will not take it well and may even end up thinking you and i are having an affair ". She continued and to her surprise he made a wide grin.

" Is that what you think ? Then let it be then ". He returned and Marissa raised her brows at him .

" I'm serious Liam,can't you be too ?". She half asked more like a groan and this time he laughed , stroking her brown long hair.
