Tearing apart our beloved

Chapter 2

Elisa's Pov

" How do you know, your highness and can I trust you? " 

" You'll have to, My lady. I know you won't trust me that is why I am ready to give you proof"

" And how do you know may I ask? " 

" My fiancée has been acting strange, so I asked my spies to keep an eye on her. And....."

" Your fiancée is cheating on you just like my lover "

" Yes, I think they are together behind our back "

" So, what do you want from me?"  I asked.

" Are you going to ignore it? "

" Who said so?"

" Then let's tear them apart, my lady "

A sinful smirk lingered on the prince's face. I must say, the god favored him when making that face, the charm was undeniable but that doesn't faze me what does is his aura. It's like a lion waiting for the right time and opportunity. I get it why he is the black lion of war. His calm yet intimidating demeanor will devour the other person's wits, and his sword will get the work done. I am not leaving this golden chance. 

" Sure, your highness " 

" That's it then, I will request a formal meeting with you "

" Okay, your highness "

" Make sure you are, extra careful with your lover. I hope you get what I mean "

" Sure, it's always fun to take them high up and drop them, after all revenge is best served cold "

" I am glad we think alike " with that he placed a kiss on my knuckles without breaking the eye contact.

" You know it Adrien, I love you a lot " I cringed at my words.

" But I am so hurt by your words "

" I am sorry for it "

"You never ever raised your voice at me let alone be harsh and push me back "

" You know right? The cold war between princes, As Willstone duchy has always been neutral, the pressure from both the groups is stressing me out. You understand right. If you don't want to forgive me, I will go but remember I am waiting for you "

" I will forgive you love. I love you so much after all " his words sounded like venom to me.

He proceeded to hug me, but bleh I would never. It would make my skin crawl, bloody leech.

" Oh, I remembered now. I have an appointment for monthly budget meeting with northern duke, second prince and king. I'll get going "

" Can I tag along " he asked with a sickening smile.

" No, but I'll make it up to you "

" Sure "

I went away, beyond the unsettling eyes of Adreian. Was I dumb in my past life, my intuitions were always right, but I really don't get it how I let this man break my shell.

"The reports of the knights from the post war area is not that good, it seems like the intruders are still there, poverty is so prominent in the areas, that any job is being taken by people they are even ready to spy and put their life on line. Almost 85% of the spies caught are of our nation. Women safety is becoming a major issue as maternity rate is increasing so are female feticides. The youth is not walking on the right path either, I think the solution for the problems can be what if we increase job?, let's open the knight regiment interview after all the number has significantly drooped."  

" That's right the northern Presitia dutchy needs knights" The northern duke Aven Presitia commented.

" So is the case with Willstone Dutchy as well as Imperial family " I agreed.

" Then, we should advertise. And please go, inquire and observe the post war area duchess, it's really concerning that 85% of spies are of our nation." The king said.

" Surely your highness" I nodded.

" I would like to go with her " The second prince spoke up.

"Why would you? don't you have a lot of work already, it's around the year you visit the holy temple " The king commented.

" I can do that on my way, and either way it is the people that make a king "

The king smiled at the prince, It is kind of clear who he favors.

" Then we will leave tomorrow your highness. Please be ready "
