Eleven vomited a lot of blood as Lillie’s eyes c@mĀ£ wi-de in shock
She re-moved the sword and threw it down
“Brother!, Brother!” She said, shaking
Iris just watched everything, as if it’s a show
The sword cut de-ep into him and even if the best doctors in Meteor were invited, he’ll never be able to survive it
“I’m so sorry, I’m sorry brother” Lillie said, taking his head on her l@ps
He’s loosing too much blood and it’s rather painful for Iris to see him like this
And he’s slowly losing consciousness
“Don’t use your blood to save anyone yet” Andromeda’s words rang in her ears
“What do I do?, Mr Prince is dying” she thought, holding her f!nger with the ti-p of her teeth, de-ep in thoughts
Eleven coughed as Lillie started crying…
“Eleven!!!” She shouted
Iris stood
“I can’t watch him die” she thought
“Get out of here” she ordered
Lillie looked at her like an ant
” Did I just hear you tell me to get out?” She said
“So far this place is my house, get out” Iris replied, looking at her just the way Lillie is looking at her
” Are you crazy?, My brother is dying all because of you and all you can say is for me to get out?, If i report you to mother, you won’t have anything left” Lillie said
” Really?, Then should we watch your brother die together? ” Iris said
” Then I’ll gladly tell everyone that you killed my brother, you wench! ” Lillie said
Iris closed her eyes, thinking of what she can do to this witch who kept calling her unreasonable names but she kept in her anger, ” I must not show my Powers here in her presĀ£nce” she thought
” Just…just do as… she told you Lillie, go out… for a while” Eleven said lifelessly
” So in your weak state , in your dying state, you still defend her!?” Lillie said, standing up and wiping her tears
” You know what?, Die!, I don’t care, I’ll go tell mum and everyone that she killed you, then I can gladly kill her too” Lillie said and picked her sword, she walked out of the cave into the moonlit night angrily…
Eleven is now unconscious
Iris bent over to him and felt his pulse, it’s still re-ading slowly
She found a sharp stone and gently pierced her hand with it, blood gushed out and she slightly opened his mouth and dropped the blood in his mouth
Almost immediately, blue flames emanated from his bĀ©dy and covered the whole place for over a minute, it died down and Eleven coughed slowly before opening his eyes
He spranged up and when he noticed he doesn’t feel any pain in his stomach again, he lifted up his robe and the stab wound is really gone
His eyes c@mĀ£ wi-de
“What did you do?, How did it…
” Don’t ask too much questions, just, just go” Iris said, standing up
” Are you,… An alien?, A goblin or…
“Go Eleven!, I told you your being here is placing my life in danger!, plea-se go! ” She snapped, walking from him
He stood and walked up to her, gr@bbĀ£d her hand and turned her to himself, he engulfed her in his arms in a ti-ght hvg
“Why are you doing this to me?” Iris said in his arms
” I love you” he said
” You met me just Yesterday and you’re talking about love alre-ady, how babyish” Iris said
“I’m not being babyish, I’m just saying my mind, I love you so much Iris” he said
Iris broke the hvg
” StĀ©p spewing nons-en-se and go away from here” she said
“Be my bride, plea-se! ” Eleven said
” I’m not interested, just go will you?, Isn’t it enough that I met two of the royal family when I’ve been told not to meet even one?, And I even…. Oh God!, plea-se leave” Iris said, turning her back on him
” Iris …
“Leave I beg you” she said, not looking at him
Tears fell from Eleven’s eyes as he looked at her back
“I’ll leave, but I’m coming back, I just want to….. Be with you, that’s why it’s ha-rd to let go, ion know how feelings are developed but all I know is that, since I saw you yesterday, my heart has been restless, I really do love you…. Very much” he said before stepping out of the cave
Iris turned back and swallowed ha-rd as she saw him leave
“He was my only companion, but what do I do when I was told to desist from anyone from the royals” she thought

Diamond sat in the living room, refusing to talk to Kingston who has his gaze fixed on his l@ptĀ©p, transacting a deal with a client
Diamond refused to eat too, she’s really angry with him but he doesn’t seem to care
She looked at him and squinted
“That ha-rd hearted man” she thought
“After ma-king me miss my first performance, he doesn’t even feel remorseful” she muttered, starring daggers at him, right now if looks could kill, Kingston would be dead by now
When he didn’t look at her or seem to budge, she got up and started walking upstairs
“Hey Diamond, you still aren’t gonna talk to me?” He suddenly said
She looked back swiftly
” You were expecting me to talk to you first when you’re clearly the one at fault?, How funny, hahahaha” Diamond replied, laughing like it’s funny
“listen Diamond, it’s not intentional, I just had to finish a deal with a client, I thought it won’t take long but it took longer than I expected, what should I do?, Close the deal halfway?” He said
” Do you even care about me?” Diamond said hurtfully
” Of course” he replied, finally looking up at her
” You don’t,cos if you do, you’ll care about how I feel about your actions, all you care about is your casino and the useless deals that’s always ma-king your eyes transfixed on the l@ptĀ©p, I know I’m not your biological sister but still….to me you’re the only person I have in this strange world, you’re my brother, my all my world, my father and my everything, Kingston why are you always ignoring my pains and plights!” Diamond ranted, crying alre-ady
” Diamond….
“You seem to forget you promised to always be by my side and always be my guide, but that’s not true” she interrupted, dabbing her face with her palm as more tears fell
She started climbing upstairs…
Kingston stood and rushed up to her, drew her by her arm and made her face him
“Diamond, …I’m
” Are you sorry?” She asked
” Yes” he replied
” Then say sorry” she said
He faced down
“you still find it ha-rd to say that word?, Well the fact that you feel sorry is the real deal, that you can’t say it out doesn’t matter, I love you Oppa” Diamond said, hvgging him ti-ght
Kingston stro-ked her hair, sighing softly as he did
His phone rang in his pocket
He took out his phone and it turned out to be Hazel
“I know that look, it’s her” Diamond said
” You can spend some time talking to her if you want” Kingston said, handing the phone to her
” Not bad” she said, picking the call
“Kingston, thanks for picking my call, just wanted to hear your voice” Hazel said
” But unfortunately, Kingston’s voice is on Vacation , Only Diamond’s voice is available tonight” Diamond said, giggling into the phone
Kingston sighed at her silliness
“Oh Diamond!, What of Kingston?” Hazel asked
“His voice is on Vacation, will he leave his voice to go on vacation alone?, He followed his voice, and right now I’m missing him alre-ady, i want to go meet him, bye!…. and plea-se, this number is going on a vacation for some days, you should just not call… plea-se miss scary face..bye!”
Diamond hanged up and looked at Kingston
” That was just great” he said
She walked up to him and jumped on him from behind
” br@t!”
” I love you Oppa!”

Eleven only went home in the early hours of the morning, he stayed in the forest , thinking about Iris
Lillie got home at exactly twelve midnight when her mum’s pain just stĀ©pped and she’s taking a rest alre-ady
She left her without disturbing her but early in the morning, she went to the empress room and met her awake alre-ady
“How was your night mother?” She asked
“Where were you last night when I was going throu-gh hell?” Empress asked , crossed
” I’m sorry mother but I went into the forest in trail of Eleven” she replied
” Why?”
” I got curious and followed him when I saw him sneaking out, I trailed him till he got to a cave after an hour journey, mother, Eleven is meeting with a beauty, you nee-d to see her mum, I never believed there’s a person more beautiful than I am in Meteor till I met her last night” Lillie said
” What!”
” Yes mum, but she talked shabbily to me, she called me a slave not worthy to be called a princess, she even said my mum must be an idiot for giving birth to a fool like me”
“what !”
” And the most painful p@rt is that….I got angry and made to stab her but she snatched the sword from me and…..
That was interrupted when Eleven c@mĀ£ in
Lillie’s eyes wi-de-ned…
“How the hell did you…
” I’m ok, don’t worry, but anytime you do that again, It won’t end well, thanks to her, the wound healed miraculously” Eleven said before going out
” How did it happen?” Lillie thought
“Are you sure the wench you’re talking about said all the things you said?” Empress asked furiously
” Definitely mum, she did” Lillie replied
“Then call the gathering of the human hunters, she should be captured” empress said, standing up
” Mother, Eleven will….
” If Eleven proves as an obstacle, just drug his food or water and make him sleep… capture that wench who bad-mouthed the empress and the princess!, Unfailingly tonight…no one talks dirty to the throne!” Empress Aurora said , anger obvious in her voice
Princess Lillie smiled devilishly…
