Throu-ghout the ride home prince Reagan didn’t say a single word to Simon. Simon wasn’t really sure what Celia told prince Reagan but from the looks of it all, especially the one that Celia had given him. It looked like there was trouble.

Simon parked at the garage of the shared house and the prince c@m£ down with Pink in his arms.

“s£nd for a doctor, will you?” Prince Reagan said to Simon while leaving for his room.

“Uh..there will be no nee-d for that, my prince. Derek said she is scared of the dark and she’ll wake up after a while,” Simon explained.

Prince Reagan paused to look at Simon.

“That’s the first time you are not doing what I asked you to do, Simon.”
“I wonder why,” he added before leaving with Pink.
Simon went back into the car, kicked start it and started heading back to the palace and his main aim is to find Celia.

Prince Reagan kept Pink down on his be-d, he arranged the duvet to cover her b©dy before sitting down beside her on the be-d.

“You see my father and brother are really sick but I’m not really concerned about them. I’m here worrying my head out for you. Am I a good son. A good brother?”

“And I can’t seem to come in term with what Celia said earlier. Simon is not that way is he. He is not using me, is he? No. He is not that kind of guy.”
“I’m sorry for locking you up too. I nee-d you to wake up. Wake up because I nee-d someone to talk to,” prince Reagan said while holding Pink’s hands in his hand.
After a long period of time, Pink’s hand moved and her eyes opened.

Prince Reagan focused on her then as he was thinking about other things.

“Amanda?” Prince Reagan called attra-cting her attention. Pink lowered her eye lid to stare at him. Instantly, she pu-ll-ed her hands away from his.

“You locked me up and left me to die after I begged you not to.” Pink frowned taking her eyes away.

“Hey, I’m sorry. It was my fault, totally my fault. I should have listened to you but I had no idea that you were afraid of the dark. Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?” He apologized and asked.

“That’s because I thought I had gotten over it. I never knew it’ll come back,” Pink explained still staring away from him.

“Tell me about it,” prince Reagan requested taking her hand again.

Pink turned to look at him.
“Go on, tell me. How did it start?”

“It started long ago in the orphanage home. They were always bullying Derek but Derek is strong headed, he decided to fight back. I always go out and defend him and after our caretaker learnt I’d join my brother to fight off the others, she’d lock me up in the sto-re room repeatedly.”
“I always cried and pleaded for her to st©p but she never listened. That’s when it started.” She explained softly.
“So my prince. Don’t ever lock me up again or you won’t like the outcome next time.” Pink raised her voice a bit.

Prince Reagan chuckled.

“So, you are not that strong after all. More reason for me to protect you. I won’t do that again, also st©p being strong headed like your brother and let me do the tough jobs for you.” Prince Reagan cooed taking his hand to her hair.

“What happened really. You speak differently now. Was it because of my actions?_ Pink questioned seeing the look on Prince Reagan. Prince Reagan mostly hide his feelings but he is not hiding whatever it is that is troubling him.

“What is it?” Pink asked again turning to face him fully.
“My father is sick and will die soon. My brother is on the edge of becoming a lunatic and well, the person I trust the most doesn’t seem to be who I believe he is but a backstabber.” Prince Reagan let out in one breath.
“Your father is dying. Should I be sorry? Ok he is your father. I am so sorry,” Pink apologized.
“You don’t nee-d to be sorry. I’m not telling you this to feel sorry for me. I just…”
“Just nee-d a listening ear. Someone you can trust,” Pink cuts in and say.

“Yes.” Prince Reagan shook his head.

“Is it Simon. Is he the person you are saying betrayed you?” Pink inquired.

“Yeah, possibly. I don’t want to believe it too. I want to hear what he has to say but he hasn’t said a single word about Frank to me. He never told me once that he had a more inti-mate relationsh!pwith Celia in the past rather, they both made me believe they had a brother, sister relationsh!p.”
“It doesn’t hurt to learn that Celia betrayed me because I didn’t even trust her. I never trusted her even for a day but Simon…? He is my best buddy.” Prince Reagan explained bitterly.

“You have to hear his p@rt. Every story has two sides, even a third side to it. Don’t just conclude, I don’t believe Simon to be a betrayer. Wait for him to…”

“Wait for how long. For how long, tell me. Until Frank becomes a man, until he marries and have kids of his own?” Prince Reagan cuts in.
Pink exhaled in and out.
“Well, Simon hasn’t been looking alright lately tho. Even tho he is just like you, always hiding his true feelings. For this past few days he takes me to Lilian’s, I noticed that there is something bothering him. I think Lilian knows of it too and it might have something to do with this p@rticular subject,” Pink explained.

“So it’s true then. It means Simon knows, he might have found out recently but still didn’t care to tell me?” Prince Reagan asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe he is scared, you know him more than I do…”

“No! I don’t know him anymore, Amanda and I don’t easily get along with those who aren’t truthful to me. Take for example, the crown prince.”
“He went behind my back when we were young and reported me to his mother. I hated him from that day and I still don’t think I’ve forgiven him. The reason why I am no longer close to him is not because I fear him, but because I hate him. And now I’m afraid I’ll also hate Simon that way. I hate to hate.”

“Perhaps the reason I don’t really feel the king’s forthcoming death is because of all the sins he has committed. Both to you and to others who are innocent.” Prince Reagan explained more bitterly.

“You have to learn how to start loving more people. You have to learn how to forgive,” Pink advised taking her hand to his cheek.

“It’s not as easy as you think it is, Amanda. But of course I’ll try because I don’t want to lose Simon. I don’t think I wanna lose him.” Prince Reagan replied.

Pink smiled.

“That’s it then. We are done here,” Pink smiled more broadly expecting Prince Reagan to also smile but he didn’t.

A knock c@m£ at the door then.

“Come in,” Pink said when Prince Reagan refused talking.
The door opened and Simon walked in with the king’s journals.

“Prince Steven asked me to give this to you.” Simon said giving the journal to Prince Reagan.

Prince Reagan collected it and started fli-pping the pages.
“You can leave,” he muttered coldly to Simon.
