Chapter 9

Emerald didn’t know how she got from following Tru out of the banquet room to listening to insults while hiding in a corner, but here she was. Their voices weren’t familiar, and she was crouched in a small, shadowy corner, where she didn’t dare take a peek and expose herself. But she was sure that Tru wasn’t one of them and that she had lost him.

“It was spectacularly grand, and you could tell that Jyss and the princess put out all the stops. But it was so boring. I was waiting for him to do something and get the party really started, but nothing. All he did was dance with that ugly plaything of his.”

“I don’t think she’s ugly. She was quite the sight, even in that hideous dress she had on. But you’re right. He’s no fun anymore. He used to be with us all the time, but suddenly, all he ever did was make excuses before he had his fun without us. Now that he’s back, he’s still ignoring us.”

Someone scoffed. “Maybe it’s best, then, that the princess is taking over the throne. That will teach him a lesson for looking down his nose at us. All the things we did to keep him entertained and for what?”

“Don’t talk about him that way! He probably just needs time to readjust to the court.”

“You’re only saying that because you want to jump his dick—”

“Oh, please. Paola’s already riding Bronco’s dick and that boring prince is out of the picture—”

“Wait. Quiet. Someone’s coming…hey, it’s the prodigal prince!”

She was startled, not expecting Rick to walk in on a conversation that mostly didn’t have good things to say about him. But he was unfazed when he greeted them, tone dancing with a heavily coated charm. Enthusiasm riddled the group, her body turning rigid at their abrupt switch-up that sang him praises and extravagantly cheered him on. A female voice crooned.

“I have been waiting for you to spend some time with us. Now that you’re here, why don’t you tell us all about your latest adventure?”

“As you probably already heard, it was a happy accident, and I will be glad to talk about it…but not now. I bet you’re out here because the banquet they prepared is already making you want to sleep, right?”

“As a matter of fact—”

“I set up a room in the western hall. One of our usual spots. There will be more than dancing.”

There was a gasp, then a more sincere hum of excitement. The female voice crooned again.

“What about you? We miss you. I miss you. You should come with us. You can relax and I can ease your tension. Your muscles are really…hard.”

She closed her eyes against the urge to march out there, certain that wasn’t a good idea. She listened while the woman flirted some more and Rick politely interacted, promising them they would have such a good time. Then they were gone, footsteps receding and voices still talking about the now-generous prince. A quiet scoff
