The Prince and The Parvenu (Completed)

chapter 19

Anger fuelled up my body, unexpected strength surging through my veins as I slowly lifted my hand on shoulder level, eyes fixed on the man that wore a victorian suit with the colours black and red. They had the guts to storm inside our castle after everything that they've done. After all the damage that they've made. I heard Kuya Traq call my name as I slowly tried to stand up, not paying attention to the pain that came along with it.

Adkins stumbled back, his hands at his neck as he gasped for air. The Princess quickly went to his side, shock and fear evident on her face. That's it. You should be scared. You should feel the same feeling of fear that I felt last night. The two Princes took a step forward and I quickly raised my left hand, stopping both of them on their tracks. I couldn't hear anything but the loud ringing on my ears. The pain intensified making me start panting heavily but I stood my ground, flashbacks of the night at the infirmary played nonstop inside my mind. Adding fuel to the fire that I am now burning.

"Herm.....Stop!......—not....enemies!" Kuya Traq shouted but I couldn't hear him well. I couldn't understand what's he's saying. I glanced at him and he immediately staggered back, I saw myself reflected in his eyes. My eyes are glowing and there's a sinister look on my face. I almost couldn't recognise myself.

I started raising my right hand above my head and Adkins slowly got lifted on the ground, gasping for air as he tried to free himself from my grasp. Ignoring their screams, I slowly fisted my hand making him cough blood, pain written all over his face. A searing ache on my chest made me gasp for air and my eyesight turned blurry.

The door opened and Rav came rushing in. He shouted my name  before running in front of me. Putting himself in between the four royalties and myself. I immediately stumbled backwards afraid that I might hurt Rav, Adkins fell on the ground with a loud thud and I heard more shouting.

"You promised that you would tell me if it goes out of hand" Rav whispered and caught me when I lost my balance. I tried to catch my breath as the throbbing pain on my chest doubled up.

"I had it....under control..Raviel" I said in between my heavy breathing. He smiled, shook his head and stood up swiftly, carrying me on his arms. The world is spinning as I try to concentrate on the ceiling right above me. The searing pain on my palms made me fist both of my hands, badly wanting the aching feeling stop. But it didn't.

"Traq, I'll take her back to the infirmary. I'll explain everything to her." I heard him say before I closed my eyes. I felt a soft peck on my cheek and Kuya Traq whispered,

"I'm sorry Herm." I wanted to ask what was he sorry for but I feel so drained and I couldn't do anything but to concentrate on my breathing. I remained conscious as Rav carried me back to the infirmary. He must've known that I'm awake because he started singing softly, making me think of something else other than the searing pain all over my body. Stopping my consciousness from slipping away.

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

I slowly clasped both of my hands together, scared that I might take away his strength again. I kept my eyes closed, letting myself listen to his soothing voice. I tried to tone down the pain but I couldn't. My mind is filled with questions, making my head feel a throbbing ache. What were the four royalties of El Suelo doing here? In our Kingdom?
