Fallon throws another vase down in her anger as she screamed. She was in such a foul mood that even Betsy stayed away from her. Right now, Fallon didn't care about who her anger touch and she normally excluded Betsy but this time she is angry at every body.

How dare that boy, he brings in his lover when she is still in the palace. No, they will be taught a lesson.

" stop destroying the vases in the castle. " Flynn said as he enters and looked around the room. It look like a tornado had hit the room but he knows it is the work of his sister. His sister has a nasty temper that she let loose off when things don't go her way.

" I hate her. " Fallon screams out as she took in deep breathes.

" we do. But right now, you have to hide it because we don't want to get on the king bad side. It is important to keep him interested in you for his son. "

" right now, all I want to do is slap Ken for this disrespect he is shoving in my face and her. " Fallon sneers "I want her to be banished. To lose everything she held dear. "

" then do but those plans of yours will take time. That time you need to abide. You want to take everything she holds dear to her. Take the prince from her then when you become queen, you can have her banished. " Flynn suggested and Fallon nodded as she thought about it then grins.

"I am okay with that plan. Thank you brother. I still am not okay with her just flouncing around the castle like she owns it. "

" you told me that you spread the rumours that he was yours first, so that means that even if she did flounced, people in the castle will make her uncomfortable. So her moving about will work in our favour. " Fallon nodded then flashed a smile to her brother.

" I love you big brother. "

" and I, you. " Flynn replied as he kissed her hair. " now let me get myself familiarized with the castle and also get you a maid to clean this up. "

" Ken. " Jared knocked on Ken door. " I hope you are decent. " Jared enters then stopped at the sight before him.

" do you really think that I will have Belle in my room alone. I am not dumb enough to give the council more reasons not to allow me to marry her. " Ken snorted.

" hello brother. " Jasmine greeted.

" why didn't you get me as chaperone instead of my sister. " Jared frowns as Jasmine laughs at her brother expression.

" because I was not in the mood for your smart mouth or for somebody to drag Belle's attention from me. " Ken informed Jared whose frown went deeper and his sister giggled.

" he was looking for you when we saw Jasmine so he decided on her instead. " Annabelle drawled as Jared smiles.

" I knew you still love me. " Jared cheekily said to Ken.

" why were you doubting. " Ken asks.

" well, you hardly spend time with me again and even if you do it is always about Annabelle. Annabelle said this or that, if you had preferred my sister before me it would have crushed me. "

" if I knew something this dramatic was going on in your brain I would not have said anything. " Annabelle confessed as Ken laughs at the sour expression on Jared face.

" oh believe me, something dramatic is always going on with my brother. " Fallon said as Jared glared at her.

" okay, since I am here, there is no need to replace me anymore, Jasmine go play dolls and have tea parties or do whatever you spend your afternoons doing. " Jared shooes his sister away.

Jasmine stood up from her chair and frowned at her brother. " I discuss strategies planning with father. "

Jared shrugged and replied flippantly " semantics, discuss strategies, play tea parties. Same thing, different pronunciation "

" I hope that you are not implying that your father is playing tea parties because I will tell him if you are implying such. "

" go and tell him. He won't believe you. I am his son. I can do nothing wrong in his eyes. " Jared taunted.

" my gosh, stop. What are you five. " Jasmine snapped at him as she moved out of the room but not without slamming the door. She hates it when Jared gets on her nerves and get away with everything he does or say with their parents because he is the only male child and apparently best friend to the crown prince. For once she would like to see him suffer. She shook her head, that is a dream and it will only happen if Jared fall in love and the boy just isn't ready for that yet. She was sure that Jared would only marry when their parents have pleaded with him for so long that they have given up have grown grey hairs from getting old not because of the troubles that Jared had given them or the boy will only marry if his father had a sudden illness and his dying wish is to see his son a married man. So Jared will continue to get away with everything now but she bet on her life that she would be around for every step of the way to watch Jared fall in love and being out in his place. Until then, she would just wait in silence.

" now let get to business. " Jared said as all traces of his jovial expression when his sister was around faded away. He shut the door and turned around to see Ken and Annabelle looking at him with the same serious expression.

" what is going on in the palace. " Ken asked.

" the palace is buzzing with the news that you brought in a lady you want to marry. Apparently they all knew that you were in love with someone other than Fallon although they got the story wrong. They are saying that Annabelle stole you from Fallon.

" that isn't true. "Ken said. " who started a that silly rumour. "

" want me to find out. " Jared asked.

" no, I think that it originated from Fallon, don't worry I can handle anything they throw at me. " Annabelle said as she leans against Ken who wrapped his arm around her. Their actions didn't go unnoticed by Jared but he kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to tell them that they were starting to act natural and that means that the rise is turning into something real. That would just make them awkward and jerky around each other and they need to be on their best performance today so that the king will not detect anything and the queen will not suspect something is not right.

" still that brings us back to the subject of your father. Ken you cannot make any mistakes. " Jared hammered.

" but Annabelle can. " Ken questioned

" yes. You did say that she was shy, any fummblings she does will chalk up to the fact that she is overwhelmed. You on the other hand have no excuse. "

" okay. " Ken nodded.

" Annabelle the person you need to watch out for is... " Jared started and Annabelle knew that it was the beginning of another lecture and she was really hoping for some rest before she had to go for dinner.

" Fallon. Yes yes, I know. " she cuts Jared short with a roll of her eyes.

" actually it is a queen. Your performance need to be top notch where she is. If she get curios about you two then she will digs until she is satisfied and if she digs she will know the truth. You wouldn't want that would you. " Jared asked her with raised eyebrows.

Annabelle gulps loudly. " no" she managed she squeak out. There goes her plans of resting before the evening meal. Right now she will be lucky if she gets to think about anything but dinner.
