I tap one foot on the floor as I continue to stare them down, "Well? You have anything to say, liars." Nexee chuckles awkwardly, Buboo seems to be whistling casually in his plastic cup, and Corry looks completely unaffected. I almost roll my eyes at him.
As expected, Corry is the one to answer nonchalantly, "It wasn't our business to tell and neither was it your information to know about our king," he walks closer to me with a raised brow, "in fact, no one told you to get involved with him, now did they?" I frown at his words and want to complain but I see his small point. Although, this is still unfair for neither of them to inform me, especially after Elian had kissed me. My eyes widen, does that make me a home-wrecker?
Nexee looks at me in confusion, "What's with the frightened look?"
I chuckle awkwardly and cough slightly as I clear my throat. I watch as three pairs of eyes stare at me as I speak softly and almost cautiously, "Well, you see, Elian and I sort of had a small smooch before the whole escape thing." I look up at them and watch as Corry looks confused before he gapes at me.
He sighs in frustration and runs a hand through his messy red hair, "Wait for a single ocean wave second, he kissed you?!" I nodded slightly shy all of a sudden and watch as he turns to Nexee who shrugs with a smirk.
She chuckles at her brother's face, "Oh come on," she claps Corry's shoulder with her unwavering smirk, "are you really that much in shock. I mean, were you not observing their," she swirls her hips around, "body language." Corry gives her a warning look and she backs off with a smile and wink at me.
Corry turns back to me, "Forget it happened."
I scoff and roll my eyes, "Oh trust me when I tell you I forgot about it the moment I found out he was engaged." Not one hundred percent true but that's my business. I can't lie and say I'm not hurt by this pretty serious lie, but whatever. I casually ask after a moment, "So, the future wife?"
Corry and Nexee look at each other and say at the same time with a knowing look, "Essiandra." Nexee turns to me and Corry sits down casually.
"So, Essiandra Darkwater," she claps her hands, "she has been engaged to our dear Prince Elian since she was only a fresh guppy. Their marriage is supposed to strengthen the alliance that Mandella has with the kingdom of Saxton. She is the third daughter of Queen Marywind and King Castrain. The white-haired beauty is not much of a fighter but she is quite the sneaky fish in terms of plot and strategy. She and Elian only met a couple of cycles ago but they have been-" she stops and stares at me.
I frown, "What?"
She hums, "I don't want you to be mad."
I scoff, "Who said I was fucking mad, bitch."
She gives me a pointed look and I sigh as I apologize. She then puts Buboo down on the small table, "Look, she isn't a bad person or anything but she is hard. She shows off a lot and she tends to make people her enemy quite fast."
