The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 163
Although Lemuel and Sarah entered the palace as Prince Leo’s servants, he still insists that they must join him during meal time. Lady Shammah also agreed to have that kind of set-up so they’ve been sharing the same table with the royal prince since then.
Also, Lemuel may not voice it for now, but he seemed to be enjoying his life inside the palace. The fact that prince Leo asked him to be his sparring partner and also a personal guard made him a bit busy training himself.
Sarah partly smiled as she looked at them. “Ehm. I just couldn’t sleep last night.”
“Is something troubling you?” Prince Leo asked.
“No… No… Nothing. I’m… I’m totally fine.” Her lips curved to form a smile but her eyes say otherwise. She was obviously lying and the guys can look through her.
“Are you sure? Sarah you know you can speak to us about anything, right?” Prince Leo uttered before motioning them to start digging in.
They were having breakfast and the two men were talking about a lot of things but Sarah seemed to be lost in her own world.
‘Remember who you are…. Only when you accept your calling can you unleash your full potential…. The inner court… you’ll find the answers in the inner court….’
She wanted to ignore it all but it kept on popping in her mind.
“By the way, Lemuel and I will be going to the hunting field today. Do you want to join us?” The prince asked the young lady.
She didn’t respond immediately. But after a few seconds, she heaved a heavy sigh. Looked like she made a decision within her.
“No, not for now. I still have some errands to do today.” She partly smiled at them.
“Errands? The prince invited you, so I think no one would question your absence.” Lemuel muttered.
“I know. But still, I need to do something today.” She retorted.
Prince Leo held Lemuel’s arm and shook his head as if saying ‘let her be.’
“Oh… okay.” Lemuel lowered his head. He was quite sad since they rarely see each other now. Sarah seemed to be busy about something for the past few days and as for him, he became engaged with his training.
After breakfast, Lemuel and Prince Leo headed to the hunting field while Sarah did a little cleaning at the prince quarter for almost two hours, since she included the prince favorite garden.
Yeah, the prince has his own garden whom he also built for himself. Although Sarah was a bit shocked when she learnt that the prince loves planting flowers and different kinds of plants in his garden, she made sure to clean it every single day. It’s rare to see men who were into such kind of a hobby and she respect him for that.
She was preparing to leave the garden when she suddenly heard a voice….
‘Sarah….’
It’s a female’s voice! She was quite surprised but she tried to shook it from her head. However, the voice keeps getting louder and stronger every time she took a step.
‘Sarah…’
To the inner room! She knew instantly that she was being called at that locked place.
‘You’ll find the answers you were looking for…’ She suddenly recalled her dream. Will she really have a full understanding about her identity when she goes there…. again? What if she’ll faint again just like the other day? She has her qualms but she turned her heels and followed the voices.
Come what may! She heaved a sigh as she continues to walk with fear, anxiety and doubt.
AT THE GUESTHOUSE….
Diana and princess Laura was a bit surprised to see less people sitting around the dining table. And now that everyone gets acquainted at each other for the past few days, the two prince decided to join the others during mealtime. It was also prince Zyrie’s intention to get to know the people around the princess.
“Seems like we are missing some people… where’s Cole and the others?” The princess of Armany got curious so she asked Liam. Even Diana wanted to know their whereabouts.
“They went somewhere.” Liam nonchalantly replied.
“Oh I see. Will they return within the day?”
“I doubt it.” Liam sighed.
“Why don’t we start digging in now?” Diana interjected then she stared at the princess. “Will you be busy today?” She asked.
“Hmm…” The princess was thinking. “I don’t think so. Why?”
“Perfect!” Diana glowed. “Then let’s have a picnic together. Liam found a good place at the mountains and I’m sure everyone will love it.” She was grinning wide.
The princess lit up but the two princes stared at each other. Are they also included?
“Can I join too?” They heard Sargon walking towards the table.
“Of course!” Diana answered. “I wish everyone will come…” She looked at prince Zyrie and prince Rohann. “Hope you won’t mind joining us.” She smiled sincerely.
“If that’s okay for everyone then yes. We would love to join everyone.” Prince Zyrie beamed wide.
“Then it’s settled!” She yelped before looking at Liam who was wearing a confused face. He obviously dislikes her suggestion but what can he do? The day was already planned before it even starts! Tsk.
As for Diana, having a picnic was not a part of her plan for the day but since the princess keeps on asking about Cole and the others, she couldn’t think of another way to deviate the topic. Truth be told, she knew where the young men went. Not because she heard about their plans but she got used to that kind of set-up.
Liam kept her at bay about their missions before and even if they won’t say it, she knows. She already knew since their secret actions was not new to her.
Looked like Liam doesn’t trust the new guys yet and she understand.
On the other hand, Asher elbowed Liam’s side as soon as he heard that the day’s activity was already set. They were supposed to go down the city for a specific reason but it seems like they have to do it tonight instead.
Liam looked at him meaningfully. They were staring at each other for a few seconds as if they were communicating telepathically.
Asher immediately nodded before getting back to the food on his plate and Liam did the same.
Unknown to them, both Sargon, princess Laura and prince Zyrie was able to catch a glimpse of the sudden change on the faces of Liam and Asher.
They were obviously communicating with their eyes and when Asher nodded, they immediately knew that they were up to something. Something they doesn’t want to tell them.
********************
“Then I’ll be going now. I’ll be back before dinner.” Asher bid Liam goodbye before he set off to the city of Zoar. They were supposed to meet someone but Liam chose to send Asher alone instead.
They need to meet the man by hook or by crook!
Liam went down and found the women packing up a lot of food. Prince Zyrie was there to help them too. And seeing Prince Zyrie talking with Diana from time to time gives him the impression that they are getting along pretty well.
“Everything is set now. How about we go now?” Princess Laura suggestion.
“Yep. Let’s go.” Prince Zyrie grabbed the food container and was about to go out when Liam interrupted him by asking about his brother.
“Ah, prince Rohann? He said he won’t be coming since he has an upset stomach. He’s afraid he might embarrass himself in front of everybody so he chose to rest in his room for today.” It was Prince Zyrie who answered.
“Ahhh, poor prince.” Princess Laura pouted showing concern for prince Rohann.
However, little did everyone know, prince Rohann was only acting as if he was sick so he could follow Asher. He was certain that the group was carrying a huge and extremely shocking secret and he needs to uncover it.
