"Prince kingston, Princess Rose, welcome." The two brothers stand immediately the crown prince appear with the princess.
"Sit, how have you two been" the prince asked.
We are good, how are you doing too....and my princess?
"Oh. I'm fine but rose..... you need to answer to that yourself." Kingston answers
"What is that?" Rose whose mind was anywhere but there got flustered when she saw kingston and the two other brothers looking at her.
"My princess, I asked how are you doing?" Prince william, the senior brother told her.
Oh. Well I am good, thank you prince William.
"Brother, l need to go. Please. please." She plead trying to leave when she saw how the two were looking at her like a lost love puppy.
To where? Not allowed. Or are the prince's disturbing you?
No. No. No. They are not.
" l notice their gaze have been on you since we arrived, so I am wondering if they truly came for me or my beautiful sister here". kingston said mischievously while his mind was planning so many ways to gouge their eyes or send them out of the palace.
"(Chuckles) Prince kingston, you joke alot. Though we won't deny the fact that princess Rose is too beautiful, it's hard not to be attracted and lose focus." Willam's junior brother, Charles speaks.
"Wow, my sister is taking all the attentions while I am like non existent." Kingston retorted sarcastically, adding fuel to the flame knowing fully well their intentions towards Rose as a man, at the same time also gauging Rose feelings too. Most importantly, he wants them to feel uncomfortable so they can leave faster.
"Will she choose one of the brothers? Does she has feelings for any of the two?" He was feeling very uncomfortable about it , he tried reading Roseline face but Kingston got disappointed as her face showed a neutral expression.
I know people get easily smitten by my sister's beauty, it's not the first time. Even some people became my friend all because of my sister, so I am used to it.
The two brothers looked down, unable to meet his gaze, feeling like he was talking to them or maybe....just maybe someone else.
"Ahh. Nah. Dont worry, it's not you." He told the two self conscious brothers.
Rose...or is it them? What do you think sweetheart?
"Brother..." Rose fumed beside him, why dragging her into his nonsense if he has a bone with the two of them.
"Okay, she also agrees. I understand now. The..." kingston acted as if he didn't see how she is glaring daggers at him but his words were cut off when the two stand up.
"Prince kingston,...We need to leave now, sorry we have some palace meetings in the evening and it's almost noon. We need to start moving now so we can get to the palace on time." The two brothers stand at the same time not looking at Rose for once till they left hurriedly, like a dog running away from lion.
Why are you doing this? Why will you pull me into your mess. I don't like it Kingston.
What mess? Wait, do you like them?! Why are you agitated about this?! You were not like this earlier.
What!!!
Like who?! Me?! Them?! Can you stop this childishness. I like no one and stop chasing away my suitors. Dont think I don't know about your tricks." She told him angrily, stands to leave but he suddenly pulled and dragged her back to his room. Not minding the scrutinizing gaze from the palace maids. All her refusal and caution was met with nonchalance and deaf ears.
"Bang." The door slam shut.
What do you want kingston?!... Why are you doing this?! I will report you to moth....
"You asked me what I want?! If I answer you right now, can you give me what I want?! Its very simple rose, Will. You. Give. Me." He asked with emphasis on each word.
Kingston hovered before her, they are back to their former position, a compromising one, she feels jittery, nervous and afraid. Her back resting on the door now. Not opposite the door. While his penetrating gaze never leaving hers demanding answers.
He was always afraid, even before her coming of age. People always comment about her beauty, intellect and elegance. The palace officials, royals from other empires, princes and dutchs, they all complement her whenever they see her. And now that she is of marriageable age, he is scared... scared of losing her. Marriage proposals are already coming in. What if she agrees to one.
Give you what kingston? What nonsense are you spouting." She pushed at his chest trying to create some distance between them but he's like a solid wall, unmoving.
"Answer my question rose." His voice low, almost pleading.
You are not well, rest.....
"No rose...., I am very healthy, not unwell. Don't push my question aside. I need answer, or do you have someone in mind?! Are you in a relationship?! How do you know I'm chasing your suitors away?!" He fired questions at her again.
Kingston, I am not a baby. I have eyes! And I see how you do just now. You have been doing like this for a long time now, You think I don't know?! I just acted like I don't brother.
So, what changes now?! Tell me why you suddenly care?! Is it Williams or charles?! Which of the two?!
And I have told you not to call me brother. I have name.
No. One. Kingston. You are not suppose to be doing this when father is already looking for candidate. He asked me to look through some proposals some days ago, his picks among all what they brought to him and tell him if I like anyone.You should support him as a crown prince, not chasing them away.
"Wait!, You did what?! When was that?!..... " he started pacing. Only to stop after a few minutes and pulled her to himself in a tight hug.
Nah, not happening. What did you tell him? Tell me you did not agree or choose anyone Rose.
What do you mean by not happening kingston?, won't I marry someday?!. Kingston can you stop this madness.!
