???????? The Prince And I Chapter Eighteen:
(Slave To The Royals ????)
???? EFUA KELECHI’S POV ????
‘You aren’t accompanying me today, instead I’m taking you somewhere’
I raise my brow at Lotanna. “Taking me somewhere? And where is that?” I ask but he only shrugs.
“Just come with me” he says and grabs my hand, pulling me gently alongside him. I sigh and follow him.
The guards and maids kept bowing and greeting Lotanna as we pass by them and I can’t help but notice the look of disgust most of them send to my way. I would roll my eyes at their stupidity but I’m so much in thought, my brain is doing some calculations. I feel like apart from getting my revenge which I do not think I’m sure of anymore. . . I think this Royalie palace has a lot of secret to unfold, starting from Etim.
I jolt back from my journey to thinking land when Lotanna passes the Royal gates. “We are not going with the horse?” I ask.
“No we aren’t… I feel like relieving tension by trekking” Lotanna replies.
“Relieving tension? As in?”
“Well, I’m being pressurized to do things I don’t wanna do, the stress of thinking about that is taking a toll on me”
Curiosity has me piquing my ear in interest. “And what’s that that you’re being forced to do?”
“Well… It is something that doesn’t concern you” he replies and I roll my eyes at his using my word back for me.
“Fine.. Keep it to yourself then” I snap, seemingly annoyed that he doesn’t want to tell me about it.
Lotanna only chuckles, infuriating me the more. Wait.. Why am I even angry at the fact that he does not want to tell me about it? He can keep his secret for all I care. Nonsense.
I quicken my pace angrily, walking away from him. I do not notice his presence beside me until I feel his hands over my shoulder. Wait.. His hands over my shoulders! I gasp and quickly step away from him, looking around to see passerby indigenes staring at us in awe. “Are you okay? Why would you do that?” I snap quietly.
“Did anyone ever tell you look cute when you frown” he says nonchalantly as if he didn’t just put his hands over like we are just mere acquaintance.
“Do they not know you are prince?” I ask, ignoring his statement.
Lotanna looks around for a while and then shakes his head. “No they don’t”
“That’s not possible, they keep staring at you with curiosity on their faces”
“They will only know I’m from the upper class but they do not know I am the prince, some of them might try to put the pieces together but they might never guess right”
“Oh…” I nod my head and stay quiet.
???? LOTANNA ROYAL’S ????
I am treading on thin ice with this Efua girl, put it this way—I am fucking playing with the kind of fire that would burn and scar me and will not leave a room for any form of remedy, but still I can’t seem to stop myself because each time I try to draw away, I still can’t help but get pulled back.. It is only been three days, yet it feels like I’ve known her forever.. This kind of attraction is deadly but poor me, I’m not ready to accept the fact.
“Are you planning to take me to a secluded area, kill me and hide my body?” Efua says when round a corner into a deserted path.
I laugh. “You are too beautiful to be killed” I mutter and she looks at me with a wide eye and the looks away with an head shake. I smile at her reaction, she had better save the wide eye for where I’m taking her to because she sure as hell won’t be expecting it. I grin at the thought.
“And here we are!” I announce when we get to the front of the mansion. It is one of the many houses father built around and it is the one I enjoyed staying before I left.
Efua stares at the house in awe, her mouth wide open with amazement. Yeah, yeah… That’s the reaction I expected. “Where are we? I mean where is this place?” Efua asks, her eyes still not leaving the house.
“My hideout” I say simply. “It is where I run to when I feel suffocated by the happenings in the palace” I smile remembering when I use to come here times after would scold because he thought I didn’t carry myself like a prince enough. I would stay here for almost two weeks with Ewu the housekeeper and no one ever knew where I was.. I do not even think Father remembers this place. Looking at the mansion, how well kept it is.. I still cannot believe it is been ten years already.
“Your hideout? You make it sound like you are going to be here for more than a day or two.. Plus why am I even here with you anyway?”
“Actually I will be staying for a week and you would be staying with me”
“You are joking abi? Me stay with you in this big house.. Alone for a week? Are you drunk?” Efua stuttles out.
I laugh. “We are not staying alone… There are at least two or three maids in there… Won’t you come in and see” I grin at her.
“You are insane” she mutters while I only smirk pulling her in.
I am insane. Really insane to be doing this. This is not just because I need the peace and serenity away from the palace. It is only because I want to spend time with Efua.
