Chapter 139 - Is The Prince Kind After All? Pt. 3

Lun and Kai were drowned in complete silence. The balcony doors were open, a light breeze entering into the room. The casual sound of the windows hitting the wall briefly, moved by the wind was the only noise that traveled in between them. 

Kai didn't know what to say. He had failed, his plan had succeeded but he in the end had bent and actually gave himself in. He shouldn't have done that, not only him but Lun too would face the consequences. He kept thinking about that, how he pulled his best friend into his doom. The way his mother looked at him, filled with disappointment and disgust. She had wanted him and he had disobeyed her, he used to do that often but only in small tasks, childish behaviors that he pronounced as his rebellion. Something like that though, a matter that involved the purity of their name, their exposure to their enemies, he had never been so stupid as to get involved in affairs so important. 

He sighed, rubbing his head as he looked outside in distress. It was already late, just a few hours left until they had to face the pain of getting whipped. Today had been a harsh day, he had difficulty swallowing, breathing seemed to be a drag too and he froze when Lun stared at him with a very deep frown. 

"You had to go and blow everything up." he said and the young prince faked a courageous smile. 

"Come on, I couldn't let an innocent man get whipped." 

"Of course you couldn't. Don't do things unless you're willing to see them through, Kai." his best friend said, sounding serious. "Three hundred slashes? How do you think you're going to endure that? You are a pureblood yes, you are strong but you are not invincible, the least you will do is faint. You don't even have a human yet, you think that with those stupid magic potions you will be able to get back to your original state? It will take days!" Lun exclaimed. 

"Are you worried about me?" Kai asked him. The younger prince he had believed Lun was mad because he would have to share the blame, he too would get whipped, tortured by his mother's people. He found it completely reasonable that he would be mad at him fro that. 

"Of course I am, what…" Lun stuttered and looked at his friend filled with confusion. He was trying to understand why he would ask such a stupid question. Once he got it, he stood up, walking towards him with big steps. He raised his arm and slapped him in the back of the head, rolling his eyes. "You really think I care about a hundred whips? That's nothing, I've been through worse. I am worried about you, your mother will make sure you remember this." the man said and Kai nodded, agreeing with him on that. 

He stood up, pacing in the room as he tried to stop thinking about tomorrow. He could feel his heart beating loudly, a vibrant echo in his chest while the blood traveled all over his body. The younger prince was sweating, his blue eyes like a storming ocean while he tried to find a way and get out of this. There was nothing he could do though, no way out. He had dug his own grave and now he would have to take  it. 

"What if we hide? I am sure the queen will cover you and…"

"No, there is no way. If we disappear now she will fucking castrate us next time." Kai explained and Lun looked at his pants, hissing. 

"Yeah, I'd rather take the whipping."

"Me too." the blond man said, wiping the sweat off his forehead and retreated to his seat once more. There was no reason in troubling himself with useless thoughts. "What is done is done. We will have to wait until tomorrow. If the gods are a bit nice to me I will faint halfway through and wake up after it ends. It's late." Kai said, examining the position of the moon. "You and I both will need to rest." he told his friend and Lun nodded. 

"Alright. I will see you tomorrow I guess. Don't pee your pants." he told him in a joking manner and Kai raised his eyebrow. 

"I won't let you steal the show." 

"You never know." Lun said, his hand resting on the doorknob. He had already opened the door, standing outside but his eyes were still on Kai as he asked him. "It will be fine, right?"

"Of course. Don't even dare to worry about it." Kai said, trying to hide the fact that he was lying. It wouldn't be fine, it would hurt and there would be blood and screaming. There was no reason though for them to think of that now, tomorrow was tomorrow and tonight they needed to sleep. "Goodnight Lun."

"Goodnight Kai." he said before he left the prince alone in his room. 

Kai laid down, hoping that he would fall asleep fast, wishing for his dreams not to turn into nightmares. Thankfully, he didn't dream at all, his mind a complete blank as he was pulled into oblivion. The time passed, faster than what he wanted and the red sun shone through the opened curtains, landing right on his closed eyelids. 

The golden eyelashes fluttered, the blue orbs disoriented by his hurried awakening at first when everything slowly came back. The events of last night, the punishment and all that would follow today. 

He sat on his bed, rubbing his eyes. 

"I am screwed." he mumbled as he began getting ready. 

He had no more time, it was time to pay.
