The Broken Prince - Chapter 151

The room fell into silence as the attention was now centered unto us. I closed my eyes in frustration as I never intended for this to happen nor creating ascene in the first day but there was just something about these two male that irritates me to the core. I opened my eyes and were met by a pair of worried greenish eyes. I walked away from the table not wanting to cause any more trouble but fate seems to be not favoring me. The moment I was about to reach towards the door. I was grabbed harshly and was faced with the unnamed perso in the table. “What do you think are you doing?” I spoke, voice stern as my eyes were barely capable to keep my gaze in his. He wore no expression and his hands got a firm hold on my wrist. “Let go.” I spoke yet again but it seemed as if this person was deaf at the moment as he only kept looking at me. “You better let me go. I do not wish to cause further scenes.” I spoke sighing at the end of my sentence and only then did I felt his grasp loosening. “Your highness, let us go. I have already informed the headmaster that you are tired and needs more rest.” Nate was now on my side, waiting for my further move. I felt numerous eyes on us but I could not care less. The situation that I am in was like walking on thin ice. One wrong move and my secret could be no longer what it was. I looked to the table where I once ate and found Kaval looking at me with nothing but a glare. Diane on the other hand was giving me a smile of sympathy and nodded as if telling me that I was better off for tonight. “Hade Morningstar.” My trance was broken when the person in front of me spoke. Was that his name? I only nodded in response and turned around hoping that he’d let this slide and give me mercy. I know, I am also having my self pitty moment right now but I could never afford the circumstances if my secrets were to be known. I mean I could if it was only my reputation at stake but no. The whole kingdom is also at stake.So I decided to act what’s based on proper deducion at the moment. I cant go out there and fight these heirs that stand before my prescence. If that were to happen, I wouldnt stand a chance and it will only bring chaos to the order that each kingdom has agreed on. I was stepping far away from the hall when I heard Hade spoke, “Watvh out Alex, something very big is chasing you.” as soon as the last word got out, the door of the hall closed with a loud sound that echoed throughout the hallway. I sighed moments later and looked over to find Nate in a worried state. “I’m fine Nate, I know were gonna come up with something soon.” Nate only nodded in response which I found that he is still not comfortable with the situation. “So, how did your dinner go.” I asked in attempt to lighten up the atmosphere between us. Nate is the type to overthink over situations that does not require such effort and when he does, he will lack the correct judgement to make deductions over situation. I’ve seen it happened once and it was chaotic to say the least. “I didnt notice anything for I was focused on what may happen during that time and something did happen.” We were now in front of my room and I looked over to him with asmile. “Dont think too much Nate. You should know me by now. Theres no problem that I cant solve. I may lack the power of will but I have the neurons and knowledge of the mind so to speak.” I said reaching out to hold his shoulders. He sighed yet again but smiled nonetheless. “I will see you tomorrow morning your majesty.” I nodded and went inside my room.As soon as I closed the door, I went to my bed and laid down. I have to come up with something and I cant reach for help towards Elevi or father. I have never done such actions and Im not going to start doing such actions now. Whatever may happen, I know that I can solve it. I solved countless problems in our kingdom, I can solve this lackluster piece of shit on my own. The words that Hade said came running back to my mind. What did he mean by that? I know he and Kaval is up to no good but whatever it is they have in their minds, may it be a plan of my downfall or of my entire kingdom, I assure them that theyll never succed. No one ever does when they face me. No one approaches the prince of the sea with wrath without being drowned in in their own anger. I sighed, too much thinking and stress for today but I cant stress out now. I opened the large door that leads towards the terrace and was embraced with the cold breeze of air. ‘Think Alex, think’ I said to myself but the more I thought about the situation, the more I seem to run into a void of a never ending terrain. I groaned and banged my fist onto the concrete in frustration. This was going to be a long night.

The next day, when I looked at myself in the mirror, a sigh escaped through my mouth as I looked far from descent. I looked nothing but a prince. I had bags under my eyes, my hair was dishevelled and well, I looked horrible in general. I was still in my pajamas still remembering that I changed into it from my suit last night. My classes were going to start soon as someone slipped my schedule through the door. My first class was History and Order which is going to start 9:00 A.M then Arts of Magic and Science at 1:00 P.M then lastly is when we get to practice our abilities at 4:00 P.M. Yeah, I know, the schedule is packed but I only have to go to class for atleast three days in a week and the rest of the dates are for me to decide what to do.It was still eight and I am still not in the mood to prepare but figuring that I still have to do it sooner or later, I pushed myself out of bed and into the shower. I did not get any sleep at all last night, thinking about solutions and tricks so that I can manipulate these people into believing I have power but surprise! I came up with nothing at all. The cold water washed over my body as I closed my eyes, relaxing for the very first time since I got here.Unknowingly, tears were escaping secretly from my eyes. I stepped out of the shower and stared at myself in the huge mirror. I looked defeated. I sighed yet again and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. I turned around after closing the door and saw someone laying on my bed. I let out a rather girly scream which I cringed to but thats not the point here. there is and intruder in my room and I have no know hows to defend myself. I could scream my lungs out but figured that no one would hear me through this thick walls and the rooms are far from each other, may it be 10 meters apart. I stood in place, muscles constricted as the figure laying on the bed rose. My eyes widened when I figured who it was. “Hey”. The person spoke rather to casual for my comfort. I was overthiking now. Is he going to kill me? “K-Kaval”. I scolded myself for stuttering as my head was kept focused on the ground but descided to look up to him.He was looking at me with an odd stare that I couldnt comprehend. His gaze were as if burning holes into my body. Then I remembered I was half naked with only a towel covering my lower body. My hands unknowingly went up to cover my exposed skin which I assumed to look very girly but I dont care okay?! It seems as if he got out from whatever trans he was in and shook his head and looked at me yet again. “Why are you here?” I asked in a quite voice. I walked over to my walk-in closet and decided what clothes to wear. Figuring that it was only Kaval, the panic in me subsided but I didnt let my guard down. He gave me the unfriendly impression yesterday afterall. “We have the same schedule.” he spoke as I wore the clothes I picked. “and?” “Nothing. I just figured that we should head there together.” “Last time I recall you, were not very friendly and its quite strange how you were so rude last night then became someone who wants to be my friend.” I said as I looked at my face on the mirror. “I never said I wanted to be friends.” I froze at his reply. Of course, he wouldnt want to be friends with someone thats abnormal. Moments of silence later, Nate entered my room in his uniform. He looked over to Kaval and back to me. “Lets go your majesty, breakfast is served at the dining hall.” I nodded as he seem to be not fazed with Kaval in my room. Speaking of which, I looked over to him only to find him staring at me. I felt uncomfortable but I let his action slide nonetheless. “Well? Are you going to stay here, cause if you are planning to look for something, I assure you. This room is very close to being empty.” I spoke heading towards the door which Nate opened for me. Kaval was right by my side the moment we stepped out of my room.As we walked down the hallway, odd stares were being thrown at us and I wouldnt even blame them. I bet everyone was talking about what happened last night. The students had the same uniforms but had different pins which were based on which kingdom are you from. The sun was shining through the huge glass windows that I failed to notice last night, maybe they were behind these huge drapes. We turned to a corner and I was immediately swarmed by these group of students which I assumed are from my kingdom. I smiled at them sheepishly as they asked me about what happened last night to which I didnt reply. “Move” Nate had to stepped in as the situation was rather getting out of hand. “Excuse me whoever you are but we havent seen the price since forever and you just want us to go?” someone said rather too fiercely. Nate looked unbothered and ushered them away. Thankfully they listened but not without certain remarks to which I and Kaval laughed. Oddly I think we have the same humor. Nate was mumbling some incoherent words, maybe he was pissed. “Do students from your kingdom do that to you?” I asked turning to Kaval. “Dont worry, they only do that on the first week of your appearance.” he said chuckling. I looked at my watch and it was already nine. I groaned as we were going to be late and I didnt have my breakfast, well if it werent for those girls that swarmed us not so long ago, Id be sitting in class with a full stomach. “Dont worry you majesty, I’ll just explain it to the teacher-” “Dont bother Nate. Lets just go. I dont want to be late on the first day” I said sighing. “But we already are” Kaval spoke chuckling. I turned to him and sent him a glare to which he laughed even more. I groaned in frustration. Did he really wanted to come along with me just to annoy me this early? I mean its nine but its still early. I groaned and walked away from him. “Wait up” I walked even faster as Nate led me through the way, if it werent for him, Id be marked absent by the time I arrive at the class. Moments later,we were in front of a door to which Nate nodded into. I raised an eyebrow as if questioning him if we didnt have the same schedule and to my dismay, he shook his haid. I sighed but nodded nonetheless. “You know how to call me your majesty” I heard hi speak as I enetered the room which was huge. I mean its your typical academy but with all the luxury. From golden touched table to painted ceillings. The teacher was already in and by the moment we walked in, all eyes were immediately on us. I looked over to Kaval who just shrugged and motioned to follow him. The teachers eyes never left us and I thought he wanted some sort of apology for us being late so I bowed slightly to him with a sheepish smile and to my ever so little shock, he smiled back. He looked like he was in his forties and what gave that away was his small wrinkles and some gray hairs. He was wearing glasses as well but nonetheless, he was handsome. I looked around to look for a chair and found Kaval motioning me to sit beside him. I stared at him blankly and scanned the room for another chair. There was one vacant right at the back and so I went to go there straight ahead. I dont want to be pestered throughout this subject by Kaval so I figured to not sit beside him. He looked at me with a frown and to my surprise I actually felt bad so I smiled at him a bit just for that sole reason. I heard whispers and just by then did I notice that the students were still looking at me? Us? I dont know. It looked like they were discussing why I didnt sat with Kaval. The moment I sat on the chair is when the whispers turned into gasps. I looked at them questioningly and they immediately looked away. I noticed Kaval laughing to which I find annoying. Whats the big deal anyway, its not like this seat was reserved for someone else. The teacher went on to discuss but not before letting me introduce myself in front of my classmates to which I found difficult to do since Kaval was distracting me by making sorts of faces to where I used all my willpower to not laugh to. After that, classes resumed like normal, maybe only the new students gets to introduce themselves in the first day. The teacher discussed things about history to which I found interesting. Ive always loved learning things since thats the only thing I could do so much, obtaining knowledge. Almost half of the students were sleeping while the others, well they were doing their own stuffs. Groans erupted an hour later due to the teacher announcing that we were having a quiz. Kaval stood up and dragged his chair towards mine which by the way, made this horrible sound. “Quit doing that!” I said to him in an annoyed tone but he only continued, I looked over to the teacher waiting for him to scold this annoying brat but he didnt, the students didnt say anything either. He sat back on his chair when he reached the spot beside me. “I had to move here so that you wont have any trouble giving me answers.” I looked at him with a disgusted face to which laughed at. “And you thought I was going to give you?” I said with a smirk. “of course! Or else I’ll annoy you even more.” I just rolled my eyes as he chuckled. The teacher performed some magic things and voiala, we had papers that had questions of course, and then a pen. I wrote my name and started answering. I mean the questions were easy but maybe because I listened to the discussions. I was almost finished when someone nudged me. I looked over to see Kaval with his puppy eyes and pouting lips. I almost smiled but remembered we werent in good terms and were in the middle of a quiz. “What?!” I whispered. He smiled for a moment and handed me his test paper. I looked at him as if asking if he was serious but he only tilted his head to the side. I looked over to the teacher who was busy reading a certain book. Sighing, I quickly grabbed his paper and looked around making sure no one saw. I quickly answered them but I also had to make a few fake mistakes just so the teacher wont find it suspiscious. I motioned him to grab the paper and he quickly complied. The rest of the class were still not finished to so I took that as a que to doze off for a bit, but boy was I wrong. The moment I laid my head on the table, the classroom door opened and two students came tumbling in. My desk was near the door so I tried to move further away from the scene not wanting to be hurt. I mean, they were punching each other. The others were now looking at them forgetting about the quiz. The teacher immediately stood up and grabbed the one who was bleeding really badly and just by then did I noticed that Kaval was grabbing the other person. My eyes slightly widened when I knew who it was. Hade. He looked so angry and his eyes were filled with rage. He had his fist shaking in anger. What could this other student do to make Hade this mad. “Get back to answering!” the teacher commanded. Immediately everyone went to their own business as if nothing happend but my gaze were fixed on the person who was poorly beaten by Hade. “Im going to take Philip to the clinic and as for you Mr. Morningstar, youre going to meet me at the office.” the teacher said with a low tone. Hade grabbed his wrist from Kavals grasp as Kaval questioned him about wht happened. I looked back to our teacher who was struggling to carry the boy named Philip so I stood up and grabbed Philips other hand and placed it on my shoulder. “I thought you might needed some help sir.” I mean, the boy was taller than him, not mentioning he had the build like he went to exercise everyday. The teacher offered me a smile and I nodded. We were about to leave the room when Kaval called me. “Where are you going my new friend.” I rolled my eyes while heading to the clinic. “Im helping our teacher obviously.” I said in a sarcastic tone. “And I thought you said you didnt wan us to be friend” I added and turned my head to show the smirk that I was wearing. He chuckled and made a gesture that was as if he was shooing me away. I chuckled lightly at his childish behaviour, I turned my head around but not before catching a glimpse of a still furious Hade. I mean he always looked like he was angry anyway
