The Forgotten Princess Rose
Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Chapter 125

"Where is the general, dear sister? Have you forgotten the reason father sent us out of the palace? Why he sent you?"

Kiara tried to ignore Henry but he continued to follow her. "The festival is quite large brother. Must you follow me around?"

"I am here to find out why you are not doing your duty to seduce the general before another woman does it for you. Does it hurt your pride that he does not find you beautiful as other men claim you are? You will fail father this time. I cannot wait for father to find out," said Henry.

Kiara stopped walking to give Henry the attention that he so desperately craved from her. "Your future people are watching. Do you want to be embarrassed here? Mother fought for you to come here so why don’t you mingle with the people to get their favour instead of bothering me?"

"It is important to me that there isn’t any war when I am to be king so I need you to go find that man and seduce him. Bed him if you need to. I don’t care what you must do to have him wanting to marry you. Do as you were told," Henry commanded Kiara, humoured by his sister’s position.

If Kiara asked nicely, Henry might save her from having to throw herself at Zayne.

"Henry, you should start listening to mother as she does her best to make you a good king. Haven’t you noticed that no one is impressed by you? If they could, Mateo would become the crown prince but father doesn’t want to make our family a joke. Do better instead of bothering me," Kiara advised Henry.

Henry was in a good spot in the palace yet he did nothing to keep it and prove his worth.

Seeing this, Kiara considered the option of her becoming queen. Then she could get everything she wanted without having to ask or talk her way into getting it.

"You are a waste and only special because you were born a man. Lucky you," Kiara muttered.

Kiara curtsied, not once forgetting that their people were watching them. She had to be nice to Henry now. Unlike her brother, she carefully presented herself as a way for the people to love her.

Henry had the power of the throne waiting for him in the future. Kiara wanted the people on her side as she might need them one day.

Henry remained beside Kiara since she had no power to send him away. "You’ve gotten our ranks wrong again. Aside from being my little sister, you keep forgetting that you must listen to your crown prince. Father sent me with a job to do. I am to oversee that you be with that man."

"Well, you have failed to do something again as I have already spoken to the general and went my separate way. I have much to tell father. Do you?" Kiara inquired.

Henry was at a loss for words for a moment as he hadn’t heard of Kiara being with Zayne. How could she have met with Zayne so fast? He couldn’t tell if she was lying or telling the truth. "You are to spend the night with him-"

"I will not join you in bedding so easily. Don’t you have those women mother told you to stay away from to entertain? Or will you call a maid to your room and have mother clean up your mess? You should worry about yourself. I have told you that it is you who picks fights with me. Fights you never win. Come," Kiara ordered her servants, wanting to get away from Henry.

Henry looked at Alexander walking among Kiara’s guards. Why was this man allowed to walk with her when she was to be courting another man? "Your intentions are clear, Kiara. I don’t think you met with that man tonight. Not when your lover is near. You plan to bed someone else tonight."

Kiara stopped walking. If Henry spoke too much about what he didn’t know, he could create gossip about her that wasn’t true.

Kiara turned around to face her brother and smiled as she walked back to him. "Brother, if you hate me now because you can never beat me, think about how bad it would be for you if I wanted to take the one good thing you have. Becoming the next king."

Henry laughed since Kiara had lost her mind. "When have you ever heard of a princess beating princes to become a queen? You have got to stop reading those fairytales, Kiara. It is why you have fallen for the hero like in those books. I should have all those books burned so there aren’t more women like you reaching for something that doesn’t belong to them."

Kiara stepped closer to Henry to whisper, "It is easier if the princes are all gone. Do not provoke me, Henry. If you wave your power before me, I might just get so jealous that I take it from you. Enjoy the festival and speak to your people."

"You!" Henry reached for Kiara’s hand. She was so crazy now that she threatened him while they were being watched by a crowd.

He never had to worry about his title being given away but Henry knew not to doubt for a second that Kiara would try to harm him. They weren’t close siblings after all.

Kiara chuckled, enjoying how Henry’s face showed fear and anger he could not unleash on her. "You must learn from your last mistake. Should I cry and say that you hit me this time, father just might punish you. Maybe he would go along with my plan to send you out to the army."

"You underestimate me, Kiara. I sit at the table when your marriage is discussed. Though you are protected by our father, who protects him?" Henry questioned, glancing at Alexander. "Since you are so distracted these days, it is allowed for me to take him from you starting tomorrow."

Henry turned to the one who could laugh since Kiara didn’t expect his plan. She shouldn’t have been showing off before. "I will treat him well just for you. I hope he is so loyal to you that he would not be swayed if I were to bring women around. Enjoy your final moments with him while I search for your future husband."

Kiara remained silent, not letting her anger show to have Henry think he had finally beaten her. She always anticipated that since her brother could not go after her, he would go after something she cared about.

"Nothing to say now? Finally, you know when to shut up," Henry said, pinching Kiara’s cheeks. "I will bring your husband to you. Do what you can to have him love you. I will reward you well for removing the danger I could have faced as king."

Henry walked off, satisfied with how their talk ended. Kiara needed to be put in her place more often and reminded that she was only the princess.

Alexander wasn’t relieved to hear he would go with the crown prince. He was now thrown into a battle between the two siblings.

"He keeps provoking me," Kiara sighed.

She didn’t have time for this as she had to focus on Alexander’s old lover but as she told Alexander, if they got power, they could do anything.
