Elena's POV
I rubbed my hands and rubbed my face together to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Crown Prince Ethan… romancing someone like this?
The first thing I heard upon entering was a moan. They were under the sheet, and even with my interruption, he didn't stop screwing her!
I glared at them in jealousy. I wanted to see her face so badly. I should be the one he's doing this to!
"Prince Ethan!" I yelled. But he only chuckled and groaned in reply. I gritted my teeth. Then two men dressed in strange black uniforms rushed in and dragged me out.
"What's going on?! Who are you people? Do you even know who you're messing with?"
One of them raised a brow. "A couple is having their private time, and you're shamelessly watching them. Are you even human?"
I glared at him. "Who are you to lecture me?"I hissed, I pulled away from them and left angrily.
I quickly brought out my phone, ready to call the Queen, but then I caught sight of Norah.
I frowned. What's she doing here? She was walking fast, looking around like she didn't want to be seen. A sly smile crept across my lips. Whatever secret she's hiding… I'll find out and use it against her.
I followed her silently. I saw a guard open a door and bow as she entered. "Of course," I murmured. "She's a Duke's daughter. She must feel so proud of the little respect."
Just as I tried to walk in after her, two Jonas guards blocked me.
"No one is allowed in here except Lady Norah," one said firmly.
I raised a brow. "Really? But I'm her friend. We came together. Do you want me to call her back so you can ask her?"
They glanced at each other. I smiled. Norah, you just wait.
But before I could take another step, they both shook their heads. "We were told not to allow anyone in, only Lady Norah."
"And who gave that order?" I asked in confusion, Norah doesn't have any connections with other Duke children, let alone any powerful royal. They ignored me and returned to their posts.
I hissed under my breath and decided to find another way in. As I walked down another passage, my eyes fell on a door. This might lead inside. I rushed to it, turned the knob, and smiled when it opened.
It was dark inside, but I still stepped in. I found a switch and flicked it on.
"Ugh!" It was just a library with shelves full of books everywhere. I sighed and turned off the light, about to leave when I froze.
"Wait… ahhh… wait… I think someone's in that library," I heard a whisper from nearby.
"It's Sean," another voice replied. "He left when he noticed us."
"But… ahhh… stop, you're too naughty! I came to talk to you… not now!"
" Got you!" I grinned. That voice… that's definitely Norah! So she's having a secret relationship?
I tiptoed closer and found a small wooden slit in the door. I peeked through and what I saw made me gasp.
The man had lifted her gown and buried his face in her neck, kissing her hungrily.
I shook my head as she tried to cover herself. "I knew it," I whispered. "She's not innocent. She's a bitch."
"Wait… I said I want to talk to you! It's urgent!" she said helplessly.
But the man didn't stop. "I've missed you so much. I need you now," he said and pulled her closer.
"I said stop….ahhh…ohhh!!"
"Elijah!"
The man froze, then sighed. "Okay, what is it?"
My eyes widened. Did she say Elijah? Prince Elijah?!
Which Elijah? Is it the one I know? Ethan's friends? Why are they like this? Why is he with her? Even called him by his name!
If it were Prince Thomas, I wouldn't be surprised, his life's been a mess ever since that incident with his ex. But Prince Elijah? The noble and calm person? I can't believe this. First Ethan, now Elijah? What's happening to all these royal men?
"I know you're feeling guilty about last night," Norah said softly. "I'm sure it was a mistake, and…."
Before I could hear the rest, I heard footsteps behind me. The light suddenly came on. I turned quickly and saw the head maid standing there, looking at me with that annoying polite smile.
" Oh…Raine"
"I hope Miss Elena has seen enough," she said calmly.
"Please don't use that annoying word after my name," I rolled my eyes.
"Please come out before I call the guards," she said again, still smiling like she owned the place.
I gritted my teeth and walked out, glaring at her. Not her fault, I told myself bitterly.
So Norah is dating Prince Elijah? Is that why he refused to marry Katherine?
How could he pick someone below his chosen bride's status?
I smirked. "I'll make sure his parents find out. Especially Katherine. Let's see how she and her family survive this."
I walked toward the beautiful garden and stared at the huge rock not far away. "So this is where the thing Duncan wants to claim is…"
"Oh!" I suddenly remembered I still had to call the Queen!
I brought out my phone immediately. I still couldn't believe Ethan really had someone else. At first, I thought he just said that to drive me away… but it turns out he meant it!
I dialled the Queen's number. After several rings, she finally picked up.
"Your Majesty! What I told you is real! Ethan really has a secret girlfriend! You should come and see for yourself before she leaves"
