Chapter 16: Insane

Alexander's PoV:

I leaned back on my chair and rubbed my temples in frustration. Nick and I had just returned three hours ago from Roxanville which was a journey of five and a half hours and still after all that travelling I didn't get to sleep because of the work.

We had to, with king Marcus, discuss the problems we had with king Felix of Stirington. But everyone knows that it's not going to be that easy.

Since Mayana and Stirington are rivals for decades. It was just on a political level once, but it got personal when Prince Henry was killed in a battle years back.

Rumours say that king Raymond, Nick's father and the former king of Mayana was poisoned by the king of Stirington. But I don't believe in baseless claims.

Sighing, I closed my eyes and immediately the image of a certain brunette came into my mind and a smile formed on my face.

I remember when I caught her red handed that night. How her petite body felt beneath me. How her soft lips felt. And the way she rejected my offer, with that sass and confidence. I got hard on that.

I want to f*ck her hard so badly but she always plays hard to get. I want to spank that a*s.

I ordered a worker to fetch Emerald from her room. But it is taking longer than expected for her to come.

"Come in." I responded to the knock and hoping to see Em but only to see a nervous worker. Ugh! Where the hell is Em?!

I glared at the worker who shakily spoke. "Sir m-miss Emerald...s-She.."

"She what? Where is she?" I asked impatiently.

"She is n-nowhere to be seen Sir. I've looked everywhere." He stuttered.

"What do you mean? She might be with the blonde bitc- Minerva. Did you see her anywhere?"

"No sir." He muttered.

What the fuck?! It's almost time for their breakfast and they're missing! Does that mean they... no! How dare they! Those bitches!

I must tell this to Nick.

Third person POV:

Alexander without knocking entered the king's chamber. His eyes landed on his friend who was on his desk stamping papers.

"You know it is disrespectful to enter without knocking Alex." He said jokingly even after being so tired due to the travelling and the work. He looked up at his friend to find him out of breath and frowned.

"Emerald... missing" he said trying to catch his breath. "Ran... away."

The king was surprisingly calm. Because now he didn't care about other women at all ever since he branded his Minerva.

But he knew how interested his friend was in Emerald so he had to find her for him. And for a while now was even considering to present Emerald to Alex as a gift.

Even though all the concubines in the ladies section were only meant to serve the king, he could also give them off to a lord or a knight as a gift if that is what he chooses to. And no one had a say in this situation. For none could question the king. And these are laws followed for decades.

"Don't worry I'll immediately send my guards to go and find her she mustn't have gotten that far." He assured with a smile and went back on to his work.

"So did Minerva." He finally dropped the bomb.

The smile vanished into the thin air and was replaced with an emotionless expression. Nickolas raised his head and blankly stared at his friend to see if he was serious or just pranking him. But Alexander was not.
