《The Girl in Red》16
Advertisement
As we started to walk back to the castle, Lorenzo explained to me what had happened when I was gone. Apparently, we weren't the only rebels in the castle, many of the servants are rebels too as they were forced to work there after they were captured by the North.
"One of the servants had informed the Prince that after your walk with Caspian you felt sick and went up to your room. They're refusing to let the prince into your room because they claimed that you needed rest." Lorenzo stated.
"Okay so when we get back, I go to my room and continue to play sick or do I get to work?" I asked.
"You have Caspian walk you to your room because I can't risk you getting lost and blowing our cover. No offense but you're new to this and as much as I would like you to learn from your own mistakes, we don't have the time" Lorenzo explained. Then he turned to Caspian. "I don't care how much you want to scratch that itch down there", he points to Caspian's groin "You aren't going to so much as breath on Aloia's neck during this mission. If the prince catches you, he is going to kill both you and her. This is NOT an option. Go fuck your hand for all I care".
"Ha not even his hand could fit his small-
"Finish that sentence." Caspian said, moving closer "I dare you, it will make me have to prove you wrong."
I froze not knowing how to respond. I slowly swallowed and Lorenzo interrupted our conversation.
"Down boy", Lorenzo told Caspian as if he was a horse and pushed him away from me. "And Aloia stop provoking him."
"I was just stating the truth" I said with a shrug and skipped ahead of both of them. I knew Caspian was going to go for me, but Lorenzo would stop him.
"I swear it's like dealing with two horny 15-year olds. Caspian, she is just trying to get under your skin and Aloia, stop messing with him. You're forgetting that later tonight he is going to walk you to your room."
'Fuck' I thought to myself. 'He's going to kill me'
"Lorenzo you know I would feel better if you would walk me to my room not Caspian", I suggested.
"Too late now princess, Lorenzo can't get into the castle. You're stuck with me", Caspian said with a wink and walked past me.

"Don't worry about him. When you get to your room just lock him out." Lorenzo said walking up to me. "Here's your dagger and harness", he said as he placed them in my hands. "We have meetings once a month in the castle's abandoned barn house. Caspian will let you know when the next meeting is."
When we finally got to the castle, Caspian took us to the back entrance of his wing.
"See you soon", said Lorenzo "And remember no fucking" he said point to us.
Caspian quickly closed the door not wanting to respond and we walked up the steps to his room silently.
"Not so brave now princess", Caspian whispered into my ear.
Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, but I ignored them.
"What was it that Lorenzo said, oh right down boy" I said turning my head to face him.
"I'm not a fucking dog" Caspian growled pissed off.
"Oh, but you sure act like one" I said.
"Big words coming from a girl who I can easily pin against this wall and fuck" Caspian said smirking at me, thinking I will back down.
"You wish you could do that, but you know I would tell Lorenzo the first chance I got. Plus, I prefer the prince over you", I said with a wink and quickly ran from him. I knew the way to my room from his already and ran down the hall as quick as possible.
Caspian was hot on my tail and I heard him yell "You'll pay for that" and before I could respond I stopped.
The prince was turning the corner, to me and Caspian.
I turned with wide eyes and whispered 'Prince'.
His eyes grew to twice their size and he frantically looked around for somewhere to hide, but there was nowhere.
"Aloia? What are you doing out of bed?" said Silas approaching me.
'Come on think Aloia' I told myself when an idea popped into my head and I knew Caspian was going to hate it.
"Oh, I thought I would feel better if I got some fresh air, but I fell sick again and Caspian offered to escorted me back to me back to my room." I said turning around to face Caspian and winked.
"Yes I saw her almost faint, so I suggest she go back" Caspian said with a courtesy.
"Aloia you shouldn't be walking right now" Silas said walking towards me.
"What are you doing- AH!" I shrieked as Silas scooped me up in his arms.

"I'll carry you back to your room. Caspian you are dismissed." Silas said not looking back.
I turned my head from Silas to Caspian and saw him standing there fuming. He looked like he was getting tortured seeing me in Silas' arms. I smirked at him and knew that I would have so much fun pushing Caspian's buttons with this. Seeing him jealous would now be the motive of my every day.
After last night I decided to avoid Caspian in private place but every time I seemed to lose him, he would just reappear as if he knew exactly where I would be. He wasn't giving me even a moment by myself, and then I decided he was going to pay for it.
I still haven't been able to get close to the prince however, I had been able to request the prince for a stroll near the water. And of course, the prince of the guard needed to accompany us in any signs of danger.
I was waiting in the courtyard when I felt someone come up from behind me and kiss me on the cheek. I instantly turned around when I realized it was Silas.
"Did I scare you love?", he asked.
"No, I am used to strangers just randomly kissing me" I replied.
"Bratty..." he replied and leaning into my ear "I like it."
Someone coughed to the right of us and we both snapped our heads.
Caspian looked as if he was going to rip Silas' head off but only said "Shall we go?"
Silas took me by the arm and started to walk as Caspian kept a distance from us but was close enough to overhear if I said something too loud.
"So, you wanted to talk?" Silas asked.
"Just wanted to know more information about my said mate. The ladies of the court are hounding me with questions about you and I have no idea what to answer them" I replied which wasn't a lie.
Whenever I went down for any meal the ladies of the court would always pick on me like vultures trying to get information about the prince as if they could steal him from me if they knew enough about him. They also started to wear more red in their daily outfits and I had to bite my tongue from rolling my eyes and telling them off.
"Alright well, we will have to do a better job of convincing the ladies we're mates. What do you want to know?" he replied.
"Were you raised here in the castle or somewhere else?" I asked.
"My mother gave birth to me here in the castle."
"Did your mother give birth to you alone or was your father also there?" I asked. Maybe this whole deal with the South was his father's doing and not his.
"No, my father was away on business. And before you ask, no I don't know what this business was." Silas replied winking to me. I rolled my eyes.
"Have you ever been to the South?" I asked trying to look curious.
"Aren't these questions supposed to be, 'what's your favorite color?' or 'when is your birthday?' " he inquired.
"I am just curious; I have never been to the South." I replied.
'Fuck is he catching on to me?' I thought to myself.
"Well neither have I" he replied with a sigh.
We were approaching a bridge and I could see on the other side the ladies of the court were having a picnic. This was the perfect opportunity to have them off my ass and make Caspian jealous.
"Let's put on a good show?" I whispered into Silas' ear.
"First person to break character has to strip naked and go for a swim in the freezing cold lake at night with the other watching" he challenged.
"You're on" I whispered into his ear and then turned my head to Caspian to wink at him.
Silas led me to the bridge before he announced in a loud manner. "Oh, sweet maiden, please go forth on the bridge of love."
"Oh, good sir, my heart beats for only you" I said dramatically stifling a laugh.
"Let's take it a step further?" Silas whispered into my ear.
"You're on" I replied as he moved my hair to my left side and lend down on my right side of my neck.
He kissed slowly up my neck and to my jaw. I turned my head to face him and leaned in for a kiss closing my eyes, before I felt a push and a rush of cold water.
Then next thing I knew I was soaking wet sitting in a lake, looking at up a frightened Silas and a pissed off Caspian.

So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink.
