Your rank?

"general!, general!" A guard ran towards the brown haired tall man who stood proudly in the lonely passage.

"Why have you come shouting and running in such a manner?" The stern voice came out, he would have scolded the guard but then what the guard said had cut him off.

"I am sorry general, the Lord is here" The guard had said as he tried steading his breaths.

"what do you mean?" The general asked.

"the prince, Prince Sebastian" The guard said and then the general froze.

"he is alive?" The general asked to himself.

"What a pleasant suprise" A voice that everyone feared resounded and that same words brought a sense of Deva ju to the general.

Turning to look behind him, the general saw the man he didn't expect to see, not in a million years to come.

"manners" Sebastian smiled and the general coughed as he cleared his throat.

"I am sorry, Milord" the man bowed.

"Josef, I murdered you last night in my dream and here you are, glad you are alive" Sebastian said out of nowhere and the general broke into cold sweat, not only him but the guard who had come to tell the general the prince was around and then Lily who froze.

Silence took over but then Sebastian laughed, a laugh that sent shivers down everybody.

"I seem to have leveled up with my humour that you guys are too surprised to laugh" he said as he laughed again.

He laughed to his fucking lame joke.

"motherf*cker" Lily had screamed in her mind.

"Ah ah, I would have loved to see Oberan but I shall see the king first, say me well to Oberan, till when next we see" Sebastian said with a smile as he walked towards the hall ways where the guards were stationed and more people were visible.

Lily looked around the big castle and then she looked ahead of her, the tall man who had his hands crossed behind his back and walked like he had no troubles in this world, the man she didn't feel safe with but at the same time she felt she was in secure hands.

"Why have you said something so out of place?" Lily asked suddenly and Sebastian smiled taking a right turn and there all the guards kept bowing to them.

"It's was just a joke, milady" Sebastian replied and Lily scoffed.

"What position do you hold in the Palace" Lily asked as she tried catching up with Sebastian and suddenly he slowed down for her, seeming pleased that she wanted to talk to him.

"what do you mean?" Sebastian asked and Lily almost rolled her eyes.

"What is your rank?, are you a general, prince, crown prince or the king?" Lily asked and Sebastian rubbed his chin like he was in deep thought.

"can I say I am all?" He asked and Lily shook her head.

"then I am more of the King's son, if that is what you want to hear" He replied.

"then you are the prince" Lily concluded.

"are you the first child?, like the heir to the throne" She asked again.

"you wish to be the wife to the heir?, I will be sure to make that happen for you" He said with a smirk but then what came after was surprising, a smack followed his words as his neck felt the stinging pain of the tiny lady's palm.

"never say such words" Lily said, it looked like she just came back from war, the words he said seemed to anger her.

"What an angry chicken you are" Sebastian teased and in return he got a glare.

"answer my question sir" Lily said and Sebastian lips formed an "O".

"I am and not the first child, I and my half brother were given birth to, the same day, date and time with only few seconds separating us" Sebastian answered and Lily nodded.

"so who is going to be the next king?" she asked.

"that is a dangerous question to ask Milady, you might never know who would place a knife on your neck to slit it" Sebastian warned with his usual smile.

"Milord!" two guards chorused as they bowed.

"stay close to this place, and don't get into trouble, I shall be back soon".
