Chapter 3 Monitoring Banshee and Louis

Lakshmi's POV

"I thought you girls had already found a comfortable place in the palace where you were going to spend the rest of your life, '' I said the moment I saw Mia, Mara, and Rose walk into the sitting room. Scott and Ethane just kept silent, they knew better than to interfere in any of our little banters

"Ha ha, very funny" Mara fakes a laugh and throws herself on the couch.

"So how was it?" I inquired as one of my maids served them some drinks.

"Little red riding hood here, almost got murdered" Mara talked pointing her fingers at the rose.

"Are you serious?" I dropped the glass of juice that I was holding and watched as Rose rejected the water that was offered to her.

"Point of correction. I nearly got imprisoned in the dungeon and not murdered" rose her lisp and I kinda found it cute.

"Mason wouldn't like to hear that" Mara teased her and we all laughed, except Mia who didn't understand what was even funny.

"So, while you girls were busy escaping. We have already connected to the camera. To be honest with you Rose, you did a very great job and you deserve some accolades for that. We can view every corner of the room." I brought out my laptop to show them what I meant.

"Wait! She only planted the cameras in the room" Mara sounded pissed.

"Yes, the room I reckon Banshee stays in and the room Louis stays in. These are the only places we need to be monitoring, or do you want cameras elsewhere so you will see how the guards and maids f*ck each other?" I made a joke and Mara didn't do it quite well.

"So for how long are we going to be monitoring them?" Ethane asked a very reasonable question.

"For as long as it would take for us to know when we should strike. I know it won't take too long" I replied to him, keeping the laptop down.

"This ain't going to be an easy task," Scott said and I couldn't agree less.

"Let's send more protesters again" Mara suggested but that was a bad idea.

"Or we can just use you and Mia to confuse them. Like you both can be in two places and they would just think it is only one person. Doing that might make her stress her powers and herself more than she can handle '' Rose said I have the idea but how are we going to do that?.

" I heard there is a prince. Rose was smiling, and I wondered what was so special about a king having a son. "There is always a prince and how does this affect the issue at hand?" I asked her, trying my best not to sound rude but I couldn't help but call a spade a spade.

"She probably wants to seduce the prince," Mara laughed.

Louis's POV

"You are all useless, even while you are running. You couldn't even check to see if I was still behind you" I threw my shoe at the isles guards I had hired.

All they do is take my money and leave me with half-done jobs.

"Your highness I have to tell you something" one of the guards drew my attention and the rest took their leave out of shame.

"What is it?" I turned to him and kept my hopes up that he wouldn't annoy me anymore.

"There was a girl here" he started with that and took a pause.

"So what is so special about her?" I looked at home with so much concentration. I always take him more seriously than my other guards.

"She...I don't know your highness but I find her very suspicious. She came here in the disguise of a maid and when we were about to put her in the dungeon for you to come and pass the final judgment. The palace was raided by unknown men '' he was talking and then paused to catch his breath.

"Was anybody in the palace harmed?" I questioned him, standing up from my throne and walking up to him. Not to scare him or anything, but I just needed to get more comfortable. Sitting down only built up more anxiety in me.

"Tell me" I persuaded him some more. The silence had stayed for far too long.

"No one was wearing a shirt, we tried our best to protect everyone in the palace. Although there was a short power outage, the queen and the prince are okay" he took a bow.

"You may leave" I sent him out.

There is something wrong here, all these events just can't happen in one day. I ran to Banshee to get an answer but she was still unconscious, she hadn't regained consciousness yet and my entire body suddenly became weak. How long was it going to take for her to regain herself? Things are going wrong and I can hardly do anything without her support.

Ethane's POV

I bent down and kissed her behind her ear while she sat on the couch watching TV late at night.

"Stop...mum is gonna catch us" she warned me and tried to push me away but I was just too stubborn even for her.

"Mum has given us her concent. So, unless you want us to keep playing high school lovers who have to keep their relationship away from their parents then let me have my way please" I got comfortable beside her and placed my head in her lap.

"You are just too much for me m" hse began to pet my hair.

"That's better" I released my breath and let her massage my head.

"I have waited so long for this day, it felt like I was waiting my entire life. '' I confessed to her with a bulge that was forming in my throat.

"Why?" She asked me.

"Because you pushing me away for too long. You just didn't want me to get close to you, even though it was a romantic relationship, I still didn't get your love.

"Hello!!, I'm a lady, what do you expect? But that is not where my why is coming from. I mean why didn't you go for someone else? You Are a very rich and influential billionaire, young and attractive too. Many ladies in your class and beyond would kill to have you, so why didn't you just pick one of me?'' I don't know why she was asking me this but I felt like it was a trap.

"I don't know, maybe I am just attracted to hot lawyers" I smirked as I brought her lips closer to mine.

"Nope, I am not going to kiss you until you answer my question. And if you are only able to answer me next year then I am sorry because you will have to wait until next year to have my kiss" she put on her lower lip. Knowing fully well that he was already driving me crazy.

"You have your special way of getting what you want, don't you?" I found myself saying.

"Yes, I do" gave me such a plain reply, with that look of victory stamped on her face.

"Now, I see why you are such a successful lawyer. You are good with manipulations" I shook my head.

"Your honor, I plead guilty," she said and we both laughed.

"Because no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't find a girl like you. They were just not you, it's only you I wanted and only you I still want, I will only want and need you for the rest of my life" I smiled at her and answered honestly from the bottom of my heart.

"Sorry but it's time for you both to go to bed, we have a movie to watch" Mara's mum came with Catherine.

"But there is a TV in both your rooms" Mara tried to put up a fight.

"Hello, Missy, this isn't a courtroom where you have rights. I said I want to watch the movie with Catherine here and that is final '' her mom was so strict.

"Right Catherine?" She asked.

"Of course" Catherine's reply was sweet yet bitter.

We stood up to take our leave when we heard her shout.

"Don't f*ck her brains out yet. She would need them in the courtroom"

I saw Mara's cheek turn completely red and I just had to imagine f* her. But not yet, she wasn't ready.
