"You would not do that Luciano. Not on my watch!" The king yelled in fury.
Luciano stood in the middle of the throne room staring drily at his father.
"Now, I expect you to do what is expected of you and do not dare me."
"I never told you I was interested in getting married to Sabrina, so why the hell should I care about her." Luciano asked, raising one eyebrow at him.
"Do not provoke me Luciano." The king growled in anger. "Stop whatever it is you're doing and focus your mind on getting married to her. I don't care if you're not interested, I gave you time, you wasted it. Now act like a gentleman and do what is expected of you."
"Can I leave now?" Luciano obviously was not interested in the talk.
The king glared hard at him breathing heavily. "Leave."
Luciano wasted no time in turning around and exiting the throne room.
He groaned lightly under his breath as he climbed up the stairs leading to Nikolai's room.
He doesn't have to think much to know that Sabrina is the cause of this. She must have seen him with Eleanor yesterday.
He doesn't understand why she can't just accept the fact that he does not like and would never do, so why the hell is she wasting her time.
Stupid bitch.
He walked to the door of Nikolai's room, knocked on it twice and stepped inside after he heard Nikolai answer.
"Hey man!" Nikolai greeted cheerfully, immediately Luciano stepped into the room.
"Hey." Luciano mumbled and threw himself on the bed, bouncing softly.
"Is there something wrong?" Nikolai asked, staring down at him with concern as he lay on the bed with both of his hands behind his head.
"Not really much."
"Tell me." Nikolai urged and sat on the bed beside him.
"It's not much Nikolai, just Sabrina being a bitch."
"What did the bitch do this time?" Nikolai spat out irritatedly.
"She told father she saw Eleanor and I taking a walk yesterday. And you know, father started one of those boring talks."
"Ugh, so stupid. Anyway, have you decided on what you're gonna do about her."
"About who?" Luciano tilted his neck to stare at him with confusion evident in his eyes.
"Eleanor of course."
"Oh, maybe, maybe not."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know what to do Nikolai. I'm trying to think but it's hard when my heart is doing otherwise. It's really hard."
"Maybe you listen to your heart then, you know the heart doesn't lie, does it?"
Luciano huffed, staring at the ceiling. "Maybe mine does."
Nikolai smiled not saying a word before plopping on the bed beside him, joining him in staring intently at the ceiling.
"What do I do Nikolai?"
Nikolai took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before replying. "Follow your heart brother."
"My heart is asking for the weirdest thing ever." Luciano said, turning to stare at him.
"Do it Luciano. If you're not doing it for anyone, do it for Eagan. He had always wanted you to be happy. Do it for him."
"Whatever." Luciano mumbled, Nikolai sure knows the best way to convince him. He's doing this for Eagan and nobody else. "Sabrina, what about her? You know how evil she is, she might want to try something nasty."
"Don't worry about her. We'll deal with her when the time comes."
Luciano let out a heavy breath and resumed staring at the ceiling.
*Just for Eagan* he reassured himself.

Sabrina sat on her bed with her stroking her chin slowly, staring into nothing, she was obviously lost in thought. She had been thinking of a perfect plan to get that slave out of her way.
She stood up and walked to the mirror, staring at herself and running her fingers through her hair slowly.
She would go meet the slave herself and if she doesn't listen and stay away from the prince, she would definitely come up with a plan B.
With that last thought, she turned away from the mirror and walked out of the room heading outside the castle.

Eleanor heaved out a sign of relief as she threw the dirt into the bin.
"Ugh, finally we're done. I'm really hungry." Gwen whined rubbing her stomach.
"Yeah, me too."
"I can eat you right now Elly." Gwen said, staring at her like she really wanted to eat her.
"What the! Gwen, don't look at me like that."
"But I'm hungry." She whined pouting her lips.
Eleanor huffed and placed her hands on her waist, standing akimbo. "You're so weird."
Gwen raised both of her hands and walked slowly to her. "I'm hungry."
"Hey, stop it." Eleanor laughed, moving away from her. Gwen dropped her hands and began laughing hysterically, bending on her knees slightly.
"I suppose slaves are meant to be working and not gossiping huh?"
They turned simultaneously to see Sabrina standing behind them with a 'not so good' look on her face.
Eleanor glanced at Gwen and they both bowed they head immediately.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?" Sabrina asked, staring menacingly at them.
Sabrina and Gwen stared at each other in confusion, not quite understanding her.
"Your job here is to work slave, not staying around the corner and having fun." She spat out angrily. She took a deep breath and folded her hands before she continued speaking. "Now, let me go straight to what I came looking for you stupid slaves. You." She pointed at Eleanor who stared back at her in confusion.
"Stay away from him."
Eleanor quirked a brow at her in confusion, still not quite understanding what she was talking about.
"Stay away from the prince."
Eleanor brows automatically rose up in surprise. What the hell is she trying to insinuate?
"I know your evil plans slave. I know there's nothing good going on in your head, but I'm warning you, stay away from the prince because he's mine. Do you get me?"
Eleanor stared at her in confusion and shock, not believing she actually came here to warn her to stay away from the prince.
"I said do you get me!"
Eleanor flinched when Sabrina suddenly yelled. "Yes, yes I get you."
Sabrina stared at her disdainfully for a few seconds before turning around and walking away.
Gwen turned to stare at Eleanor with shock evident in her eyes. "Okay, this is really bad."
