Prince Bane's Order
McGuire was the only person that could prove Margaret's identity as an Usylon, the Usylon that they had been looking for, or waiting for rather. McGuire had still not woken up from the Prisms Poison, and he had several days in front of him before he would wake up.
It was dangerous, and it was risky, because they were not even sure whether McGuire would wake up on the day that everyone envisaged.
Mr. Collin, the guest that had travelled all the way from other kingdoms because of the union and upon the invite of McGuire, was giving a room in the guest quarters of the Vandersar Palace. He refused to return home without seeing McGuire, so he stayed at a corner of the Palace, and had not the slightest idea what was going on in the palace about Margaret's identity.
''If we think that she is an imposter, we would be the persons to inform the police to arrest her, so the rumor about her being an imposter is not true. Otherwise, what did you say that she stole? Margaret, did you steal anything?'' Prince Harry looked beside him and asked.
Margaret shook her head.
''I was robbed on my way to deliver an errand, and the parcel I was meant to deliver was stolen from me but trust everyone to not believe me, including my... foster father.'' Margaret made sure to hide her original expression so as not to reveal what she thought about her foster father.
She didn't hate the man because Margaret didn't have a heart of wickedness, but she sure would never imagine herself anywhere near him anymore.
The man was a brutal drunkanrd who transferred his frustration on women. Any woman that was close to Margaret's foster father was in danger of abuse when he got drunk apart from his daughter, Constance whom he loved to a fault.
Even at that, he often abused Constance verbally if he was drunk enough and she made him angry enough.
''My Prince, we can't...''
''How much worth got missing from her?'' Prince Harry put his hand behind him, fishing behind his back pocket to grab his wallet.
Margaret's foster father immediately started to shake his head when he saw that Prince Harry was about to deliver Margaret from her debt.
''There are two accusations bearing the name of one person. If she can own up to owe for the valuables that she stole which she claimed to have been robbed from her, then the same person should follow us to the police station to investigate her for forgery and imposting.'' Margaret's father put up a fight, staring at Prince Harry with dominance as if if it got to it, he could win the young Prince in a battle of status and power.
Prince Harry chuckled.
''You had better get out of this palace before I become rude.'' Prince Harry handed a cheque of one hundred thousand dollars to the police.
''Cash this cheque to pay for whatever must have gone missing, and after that buy yourself something to distract you from meddling in affairs that have nothing to do with you.'' Prince Harry slammed the door shut as soon as he finished speaking, leaving Margaret's foster father and the police men outside in shock and confusion.
''Thank you.'' Margaret felt like she was in trouble with Prince Harry and Prince Barry because of what had just happened. She had never told them about her foster father, neither had she cared to inform them that the police were harrassing her over items that got stolen from her.
But McGuire was already aware of those facts so did Margaret really have to tell the Princes anything?
Well, they were her husbands so, yes, she was supposed to tell them.
Prince Harry ignored Margaret and walked into the bedroom but Prince Barry remained at the door, looking at Margaret who now stared at her feet, feeling somewhat ashamed.
Her cheeks had turned red instantly.
''Why didn't you tell us about your... foster father?'' Prince Barry asked.
Margaret frowned as she continued to look away from the Prince. She didn't have a good time in her former home, besides, why didn't the Princes ask her about where she was coming from? Did they think that she fell out of the sky?
If they didn't ask, it meant that they could care less, so why would she bother?
Margaret eventually raised her eyes and looked at Prince Barry.
''You didn't ask.'' She started to walk away soon after.
Prince Barry was shocked because Margaret had never acted that way before.
''Margaret!'' Prince Harry who had left the scene managed to see Margaret's attitude, and he could not believe it.
Margaret was used to being calm, collected and submissive. So what was suddenly wrong with her? She must be very upset for her to react that way to Barry.
Prince Harry held Margaret's arm just when she was about to walk past him, and he looked at her closely while Barry walked to meet them.
''What's wrong with you, my love?'' Barry carressed Margaret's neck as he asked.
Harry eyed his younger brother.
''Stop seducing her, this is not the time.'' Prince Harry shoved Barry away.
''That's it! That's exactly what upsets me. You three are only committed to having sex with me and enjoying my body without caring to know where I have been and how my life was prior to when I got here. You are only interested in sex. I am only lucky to have escaped public harrasment if not you have not the slightest idea about it and I would have been taken away.'' Margaret complained and wriggled free from Prince Harry's grip, walking out on the first young Prince of the Vandersar family.
The two Princes present were stunned. Margaret had just unlocked a new side of her that they never knew existed as they thought she would remain fragile and easy to control all the days of their lives together.
