Crystal's Point Of View:
"Please do contact us if you have any leads, Rafael.." Arthur's father, King Ron, spoke softly as my father decided to call it a day for both of I and Arthur. Father nodded and gave us a teleportation crystal, instructing Arthur "I want you to bring my daughter back with you on my kingdom. Tell my wife that I would be home late, understood?". I saw Arthur nod before taking the stone off of my father's grasp. Arthur then took me outside of their kingdom and whispered something to the stone before breaking it. He took a hold to my hand and the next thing I knew is that we got back to my kingdom's front door.
Arthur just walked in without a word that I have to follow him in pursuit. Mother soon appeared asking "Where's your father, Crystal? Isn't he with you, dear??". I was about to answer but Arthur interjects "The King informs me to tell you my Queen that he'll be home late for now..". Mother nodded to his answer before inviting us for dinner. We all then went to the dining hall to see my little brother eating alone peacefully. I walked towards my little brother and embraced him, greeting "I'm sorry I'm late..". I felt him tensed up a bit from my hold until he had calmed down replying "No worries..".
I slowly let go of him and decided to eat dinner beside him. I had to pause when I noticed Arthur eyeing his food suspiciously. "Is there a problem, Arthur?" I asked eyeing him. He looked towards my direction, before reassuring "Nothing.. I think I have a hangover..". I could only let him be and continue eating. Not a second later, Christian stood up from his place and took his utensils with him towards the grand kitchen. "Crystal, dear.." Mother began catching my attention.
I looked at her as she opened her mouth to speak but stops midway, shaking her head, she beamed "Nothing. Forget I said anything..". I felt a frown formed on my face as I suddenly noticed Arthur stand up from my peripheral vision. I looked at him asking "Done eating?".
Mark's Point Of View:
"Done eating?" Raine asks curiously as I stare at my empty not-a-sign of prank food replying "Yeah..". She then nodded and continued eating. Strange.. I should know better that Christian may place something on my food for our bet. I began to bring my own utensils and decided to at least pull off a nice quick prank on Christian. I don't want to have this day as a tie. I walked inside the kitchen to see few of their servants there. I looked around to see the prince not there. "If you're looking for Milord Christian, he used the back door towards the main garden, Your Majesty.." one servant informs as I thank her in return.
