|Prince Justinian|

As I joined my family at the grand breakfast table, I could sense the great tension.

My Father's gaze was hard and sharp as he looked over at me

My mother gave me a concerned look as well as my siblings. "Donc, aujourd'hui, vous avez décidé de nous rejoindre pour le petit déjeuner ?" The king asked slightly amused.

Translation: So today you have decided to join us for breakfast?

I don't need this today.

I'm already eager to be somewhere else.

I just clenched my jaw and turned my attention to the delicious looking pancakes on my plate.

I didn't understand why it was so important to join for breakfast every fucking morning. Personally, I thought this was highly unecesssry and I honestly rather be somewhere else.

The cafe closed at 9 pm do I do have some time to get there. A small grin arose on my lips. I just know that Iman will be working today.

I made sure of that. I usually don't threaten people, but when I do, I make sure that I get what want.

"Dites-moi fils, où allez-vous pour ce matin?"

Translation: Tell me son, where do you go to in the mornings?

My mother asked confused. "Often times you don't even take your guards. Its very dangerous." She said.

I was getting very annoyed. I heard Jaxon snicker. "Mother, I'm a man of my own. I surely know what I'm doing. As for where I go, I don't think its a crime to wander outside the palace for just a while." I said as a maid poured me a glass of orange juice.

My mother wore a faint smilr. "Jeremy, he's grown up to be such a responsible young man," She said making me roll my eyes as jaxon and Jazzy shook their heads.

"S'il vous-plaît maman."

Translation: Mother, please

|Iman|

"So glad that you're back again, by the way." Juliette said as we stepped outside the cafe for break. Today I was the most happiest person on the planet. You could not believe the excitement I was feeling when I walked back into the nice smelling shop!

" Je suis tellement heureux, trop !" I said squealing.

Translation: I'm so happy, too!

Some of my fellow workers were also happy to see me again, some were shocked, but overall, I'm just happy to be back because now i don't have to start a new job. I was comfortable right here where I was.

And to avoid a replay of why I lost my job, I'm just going to avoid, "His majesty," or "Prince Justin," or whatever.

I cannot go through all of that again.

"Oh, Iman! I almost forgotten." Juliette said with a wide smile on her face as she jumped up and down.

"What is it?" I asked. it must be interesting , the way she's smiling. "So the other day, prince Justin-" I sighed. "Juliette, I don't want to hear about him." I said.

"You'll really want to hear about this." She said with a grin. I sighed. "Fine."

"Okay so the other day in the cafe, the prince called me over to his table. He asked me if I knew someone named Iman and I said yes." She started. My eyes widened. "He asked for me?" I asked bewildered.

"Of course! He Fancys you, remember?" she asked like I should already know this.

"Anyway, I said I knew you. Then, he asked why he hasn't seen you around the shop for awhile. I told him that I wasn't allowed to give such information to him." She said, giggling.

My eyes widened. "Did he get angry? What were you thinking?!" I asked panicking for no reason.

"What? we're not allowed to, anyway. And plus, I just wanted to tease him. I wanted to see if he really liked you. THEN GUESS WHAT HE SAID?" She said, chuckling and making nearby pedestrians turn to look at us.

It must be really funny. "What?"

"He said," She paused.

"Je suis un ami si sien" Translation: I'm a friend of hers

"Iman, I almost laughed!" She said. "Did he really?" I asked doubling over in laughter. Friends? we're not even in the same social class.

"Yes Iman, he did. So, I told him that you no longer worked here. You should have been there! his face was so priceless!" She said seriously.

"Oh my," I said not knowing what to say. "What next?" I asked her. This was getting interesting.

"Then, he ordered me to take him to the manager. I was so scared. He is very demanding."

"Mary..." I said putting two and two together. S-so he is the reason I have my job b-back?

"I shouldn't have been eavesdropping on their conversation but Iman, he threatened to close down this cafe down if you weren't rehired and working the next day!" She said in disbelief.

"So....this is why I'm here agsin?" I said looking at her. "Maybe so." She said.

"Th-he-did that for me?" I asked myself.

"I told you he liked you." She said winking and walking back into the cafe.
