The King is already in his recovery.
It is not a deep wound afterall.
But the King still let Diego stays more in his cell.

"They said he has a side mistress."

"What? Really? He isn't in the throne yet but he is already that loose?"

"Shhhh.. You think you will live if someone hears you people?!"

"Don't pull me."

The people are all watching with their interested eyes and ears what will the perfect prince be from now.

"I never like him. Prince Dwayn is more handsome and the other day, I saw him and he smiles at me."

"Day dreaming again! You deserve Prince Diego."

"Ewww! How dare you."

Even the woman that blindly praise the prince are now talking shits about him.

Nothing is permanent in this world.
And nobody will ever side with the loser.

"Prince Diego. You are free now."

Diego looks up and saw his attendant.

Diego has a soulless eyes and obediently follow him.

The attendant is looking back every now and then to see the prince and he can't help but frown

He is lost.
Like he has no more life and now just a shell.
Arriving in the front gate, the gatekeeper called Diego.

"Prince, there is a basket of fruit for you."

The attendant angrily slaps the guard's hand.
The fruit basket and the fruits scattered in the ground.

"Disgusting! You think the Prince will need a fruit from you?"

The guard raise a brow.
"That is not for you. Its for the prince. Its from that same girl......never mind. If you don't want it then leave it for us."

The attendant snorts.

"Let's go your high---"

Diego is croutching down and picking the fruit with his trembling hand.
The nails are already dirty and longer than usual.
He patiently pick them up.

"This---" the attendant is so shock that he watched Prince Diego picking the fruit one by one without helping.

He then hugs the basket of fruits in his bossom.

"These are my precious fruits." He said with a peaceful smile unlike the soulless one.

"Uh ..." the attendant watch the prince enter his carriage on his own.

The guards snort.
"What? Aren't you an attendant? You can't even serve your master?"

The attendant scowls at them.
"Shut up commoners!"
He hurried to go to the carriage and asks them to leave.

"My son!"
The Queen tears up to see Diego's deplorable appearance.

Even Alan was wide eyed looking at him.

'He is only there for 2 weeks. As a pampered prince it must have been eternity for him.

Diego has a basket of fruit in his chest and he didn't let the maids take it.

When the Queen is already and about to hug Diego, Diego looks at her

"Why didn't you visit me?"
He asks with that soulless eyes.

Alan raised a brow.
'Hoh~'

The Queen gasps.
"I tried but I was not allowed to see you."

Diego chuckles.
"Really? You didn't even send someone to give me extra food. Or are you thinking that it is time to teach me a lesson so I will be more obedient this time?"

Alan chuckles.
He is far from them so they won't notice.

'Being in prison, he finally start using his head?'

The Queen is red all over.

"Who did you think begs the King to release you?! Who did you think bribe the guards so they won't hurt you?! Its me!"

"Lies! I killed the torturer! Cause he tried to sexually harrass me! The guards...the guards..."

'Be thankful your highness. That girl is really in love with you. Bribing us so you won't get beaten.'

'It was Margarita! She is the one who cares for me! You all want to control me!'

Diego is filled with anger.

Alan thinks that The Queen and Diego fighting are really funny.
