The Royal

Mason POV

"Nathan!!!"

I run to him picking his unconscious bloody body to me, cradling him.

"How could you Carson?!"

He shakes his head and closes his eyes.

"I don't like him as a competition..."

"Competition? Who cares that doesn't mean you can stab him!!!!! And competition for what..that makes you want to stab him!?"

He shakes his head and smirks.

"Ah prince Mason..my dear dear Mason..you really are clueless aren't you?"

"Shut up!"

I try picking up Nathan's limp body and bring him outside the room, he is too heavy..

I open my mouth and try to begin to yell for help, Carson closes my mouth, and whispers.

"Don't tell anyone what happened when I was with you..To you I was never here."

I didn't do anything.

He then quickly, whipped around and ran out.

"HELP SOMEONE HELP!"

Jack comes running in followed by Oliver.

Their eyes widen.

They quickly help me pick him up, we then bring him into the hospital that's luckily close and in our mansion.

The doctor had shooed us out.

Jack was tear stained, and Oliver eyed me, his arms were crossed and he looked dead serious.

"So what was that about?"

Oliver said.

I looked down and gulped, not being able to speak.

"I went back to your room and collected the sword that had stabbed Nathan..it was your sword...and your fingerprints were over it including his blood."

I looked at him shocked.

"Y-y-y-you think I did it?!"

"Well I can't come to any other conclusion. Let alone you were there with him..alone."

My eyes were wide, Oliver eying me..looking disappointed, and Jack behind Oliver looking at me..scared and angry.

"I-i-i-i didn't though.."

Nathan's POV

My eyes open slowly, and I stare at the man above me.

He seemed to be a doctor, and he looked down at me, worried.

"So you gained your consciousness."

He said.

I nodded, then reached up and clutched my head, which was throbbing.

"W-what happened....?"

I asked him softly.

"Well... the prince, his brother and another person brought you in, and you had a knife stuck into your rib cage...."

My eyes widened slightly, and I curled my fingers into fists.

Gritting my teeth, I breathed out.

"Right...."

I sat up, wincing and groaning as a sheering pain shot up my chest.

Even so, I got up.

I heard some shouting from outside the door.

Clutching my rib cage, I started staggering over to the door.

"Sir! Sit down, you cannot walk yet!"

The doctor grabbed my arm, but I slapped his hand away.

"I need to see them."

I limped painfully over to the door, opening it.

The three turned to me, staring at me with wide eyes.

"NATEEEEE!!!!!"

Jack screamed, running over to me, grabbing my hand.

Oliver sighed, walking over to me.

The prince also walked over to me, but Jack and Oliver both looked over their shoulders, glaring at him.

He stopped in his tracks, hanging his head.

"....W-what happened...?"

I asked weakly, looking at everyone.

"The prince stabbed you!!"

Jack said, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Oliver nodded.

Huh....?

I looked at the prince.

He looked away from me, his eyes full of pain.

I staggered over to him, pulling him to me.

His eyes widened, and he looked up at me.

I looked at Jack and Oliver.

"He didn't stab me, another prince did... a prince from a different city...."

Jack and Oliver's eyes widened.

"W-what...."

"That Carson dude...."

Jack clenched his teeth, narrowing his eyes.

"I will avenge you, Nathan."

Oliver crossed his arms.

"We'll arrest him right away."

I looked down at the prince, whose eyes were wide open.

He looked up at me, burying his face in my neck.

I held him tightly, wincing as the pain shot up my chest.

"O-ow...."

I whispered.

"A-Are you ok? I'm sorry... thank you.... Um...."

I smiled down at him, stroking his cheek.

"I'm really sorry, Nathan, I don't know how to express my thanks to you-"

I leaned down and crashed my lips onto his.

Right now, I didn't even care if I was public or not.

I was glad he was safe.

I was glad he was with me.

That was the only thing on my mind right now.

The prince.

His eyes widened, and he kissed back.

Jack and Oliver stared at us, there eyes wide.
