Just like lady magnet predicted, a maid had indeed brought dinner for him. Prince Ericsson looked at her carefully he hated the idea to her so he moved closer to her and smile.

    "What is your name?" He asked with a smile and held her hand. The maid blushed. Prince Ericsson was indeed a handsome man and having him look at her like that made her face heat up and her heart quicken.

    "Your highness," the maid felt her thwart dry up.

    "I am sorry," prince Ericsson apologize. The maid raised get brows in confusion. She was about to open her mouth and ask him what he was talking about when the prince raised his hand and hit her at the back of her head causing her body to lose consciousness.

    Prince Ericsson caught her before her body hit the ground. He carefully exchanges their cloth as soon as possible. He picked up the plate lady Magret had left earlier and walked out.

    He bowed his head when he got to the guard in the outer room. He bowed his head as he walked past them.

    "Do you think the maid was acting strange?" One guard asked the other.

    "The maid that came this morning spend more time. Do you think the prince doing something with them?" The other guard replied.

    "You have such a diet mentality. I was talking about the way she was walking. Besides, she seems to have grown taller," the first guard rolled his eyes.

    "Hey, I am just stating a fact. The prince is very handsome. Maybe he hurt her when they were at it. If you know what I mean," the second guard argued.

    "So dirty," the first guard sighed. He has felt that something was not right but after speaking with his second he felt he was overthinking things.

    Prince Erickson walked his way to meet with lady magret who was already waiting for him.

    "You look beautiful," lady Magret tease when she saw him. Prince Ericsson frown his brows when he heard her. He felt embraced but he had no other choice.

    "What is the plan? Prince Ericsson asked. He knew arguing or throwing a fist because of her statement earlier will only be a waste of time.

    "Two choices, we either leave the palace and look for a small house, or we remain in the palace and work, trying to get more information of the man that killed your brother," lady Magret said.

    "Let leave the palace, staying here is dangerous, everyone around here knows my face," prince Ericson said.

    Lady Magret nodded her head and start leading the way to the main gate. "No, we can not use the gate. By the time we get to the gate from here the lady must have woken up and I would be found missing. My face will be easily recognized," Prince Edward said.

    "So what do you suggest?" Lady magret asked.

    "Come," he said moving into the woods. Lady Magret sigh but followed him. They walked deeper into the woods until they got to the waterfall.

    "Here, there is a cave somewhere, my brother brought me here, a few times," he said putting his hand on the rock trying to figure out how to open the door.

    Lady magret could sense that the door was hidden with a spell. "How does your brother open the door?" Lady Magret asked.

    "I am not sure, he said his mother brought him here once when he was young," prince Ericsson said still trying to figure out how to open the door. He remembers that his bother usually just puts his hand in a spot and pushes.

    But he has tried the process over and over again but it did not seem to work. Lady magret did not want to expose her power to the prince since she was aware that he did not trust her yet.

    "Let me try, she said putting her hand on the rock to find out what kind of spell was used to hide the cave. She hoped it was not a very difficult spell to break.

    She breathe a sigh of relief when she saw it was a common spell that could be opened by anyone  with even the smallest magic. She finally become convinced about her speculation when she saw the spellbook in the library.

    What she could not understand was why his mother kept it a secret from the prince.

    She unconsciously touched her stomach thinking of the baby growing in her.  If her guess was right then the prince also had powers, which means their son who be very powerful but why did the Queen keep these powers secret from the prince.

    " revile," she whispered in a low voice. "Did you say something?" Prince Ericsson asked.

    "No," lady magret shook her head. "Why don''t you place your hand here and push," lady Magret suggested helping the prince place his hand on the right spot.

    Prince Ericsson felt his heart miss a beat when her hand came in contact with his. He felt something strange. Shaking his head he pushed as she said and the large cave opened up.

    Inside the cave was very dark but lady Magret did not have a had time adjusting her eyes into the darkness and see the place properly.

    She walked about and saw a fireplace. Seeing two rocks seated beside it she clap them together until she was able to light the fire.

    Prince Ericsson was surprised. "How did you do that?" Prince Ericsson asked. He has always felt there was something different about her.

    "Do what?" Lady Magret acted ignorantly.

    "See in the dark?" Prince Ericsson asked as he picked up a stick and light all the lamps.

    "I do not know,  I have always had good eyesight," lady Magret replied.

    Prince Ericsson was about to say something when lady magret heard approaching foot step. She put her hands on her lips to signal him to be quiet.

    She moved closer to the entrance of the cave. "What is it?" Prince Ericsson whispered, seeing her act so quietly.

    "People are coming this way," lady magret whispered back.  Ericsson frown his brows since he heard nothing aside from the sound of the waterfall.

    Lady Magret sigh and held his hand. She created a link to help the prince hear what she heard. The prince could not understand the meaning of her action. He wanted to pull back his hand since her hand holding his hand made him feel uncomfortable. But he paused when he heard the voices of some soldiers.

    "Life is strange, who would have thought the second prince will have the heart to kill his brother. Those two were so close," he heard one of the voices.

    "Do not be surprised, the rich are very greedy. Even I thought that for once the throne was going to be passed with no blood nor death," another answered.

    "I did not kill my brother," prince Ericsson roared, ready to match forward and kill them but lady Magret was fast enough to hold him back. She hugged him since that was the only way she could stop him. Prince  Ericsson''s body stiff with her contract. His heartbeat increase and the cold cave suddenly becomes too hot for him.

    Fortunately, the waterfall swallowed up his voice so the two men that were close by did not pick his voice.

    "Did you say something?" The two men faced each other. The two men shook their heads.

    "This place is strange, let''s head back. If the prince came this way he would be eaten up by wild animals," one of the men said. The other nodded in agreement since they both felt scared.

    The prince''s voice had come to them like a roar from a wild animal.

    "What were you trying to do?" Lady magret snapped when she was sure the men were gone. She let go of him and stepped back.

    "You should not have stopped me. All this happened because of you? If my brother had not insisted on coming to get you so you do not get married to another we would never have argued and I would have been there that morning to stop his death," prince Ericsson snapped back irritated by the tone she spoke to him.

    He was upset about losing the good name he has made for himself over the years. Moreover, deep down in his heart, he blamed himself for the death of his brother.

    Lady Magret was outraged by the prince''s words. "Then go after them. Expose yourself and let us both get killed. At least we could both get heal from our guilt faster. I left my home and honor to be with your brother yet you blame me for his death," lady magret Snapped back before walking over to the bed place and lying down.

    Tears rolled down her eyes, she wondered if she made the right decision running away.  Although she hated Gam but she knew her life would not be hanging on a thread if she was still back in her kingdom.

    Prince Ericsson paused looking at the figure lying down. He did not mean to snap at her. He just felt frustrated.

    "I am sorry," he whispered to himself as he walked to the opposite end to lay on the floor.
