Lay Low

Xavier was taking a stroll inside the party venue. That was the first time the Seven Princes would ever have a party in Persia, so it was kind of a big deal, and anyone who had access, wanted to go in and see for themselves.

If there was one thing that was sure, it was that the Princes were having a blast.

Xavier knew that Sent was in the party ground even though her boyfriend was not there. It irked Xavier a great deal as according to him, Sent never spared an opportunity to look like the harlot that she was.

When Xavier entered the venue and did not see Sent after he had walked through the hall, he started to suspect her.

''Where has that devious harlot gone to?'' Xavier said to himself, squeezing his face to reveal an unhappy countenance.

Just as he was about to leave the party in search of Sent in other spaces, he spotted her coming back with Prince Jeshua, and they appeared to be in a serious discussion.

Xavier glared at Sent as she walked past him. Xavier had heard a lot about Sent and her infidelity towards Prince Bane, but he had never exactly caught her in the act even though he usually saw her with countless men, pretending to be talking about ''spmething serious.''

''Ypu shouldn't be in here.'' Xavier grabbed Sent's hand and held her back just as she was about to cross the door and enter the party back.

''What?'' Sent rried to wriggle free from Xavier's grip, to no avail.

Prince Jeshua noticed that Sent was no longer by his side, and when he turned around, he easily saw that she was with Prince Bane's right hand man, and he dared not go any further with Sent.

Prince Jeshua left Sent with Xavier, after all, he had already gotten what he wanted from her.

''It's a party. What do you mean by I am not supposed to be here?'' Sent asked Xavier angrily.

''Look around you.'' Xavier made Sent actually look around.

''Did you see any female of respectable or notable presence here? All these women are loose women who will sleep with the Princes in the twinkle of an eye. You have no business being here, Sent. Why do you keep giving everyone a reason to suspect you?'' Xavier scolded Sent like the sneaky traitor that she was.

Sent was getting a brunt of Xavier's anger, but soon she was able to get a hold of herself.

''Don't forget who I am, Uncle Xavier.'' Sent warned the man.

''I have seen you try to truncate my relationship with Bane for as long as I can remember. You had better put a stop to it, and respect me while at it. Ask for the party, well as you can see, I am not dancing on the Princes like those women, instead I am trying to get as much facts as I can concerning the situation on ground but I don't expect you to be able to know that. Old man.'' Sent walked out on Xavier soon after.

''If I tell Bane what she is doing, he will never see reason with me. This woman is becoming out of control. Too out of control to be true. I can't imagine that anyone will be in a party like this. A woman of so-called repute, will enter this sort of party hall when her partner is nowhere around. Talking about she is trying to see to business. What business is she seeing to that is not enough for Bane to attend to by himself.'' Xavier was so upset, he stood there at the door of the party venue, ranting loudly.

''Xavier.'' One of the Princes happened to see the advanced age man talking to himself and worried for him. It was only at that point that Xavier realised that he was starting to grab the attention of others.

''Is everything okay? Did any of my brothers dare to upset you?'' The Prince asked.

Xavier shook his head.

''There's nothing wrong here, my Prince. You can go on about your party. I was just trying to pass a message to the future... Miss Sent. But she walked out on me. Anyway, you guys, have fun.'' Xavier walked away in a bid to go and inform Prince Bane that Sent was most likely making a fool of herself, but on second thought, he remembered that Sent could do no wrong in the eyes of his nephew.

Xavier heaved a deep and tired sigh and watched from outside as Sent went back to Prince Jeshua, starting to converse with him again.

''What on earth are they even talking about? What's so serious?'' An upset Xavier muttered right before leaving.

''Bane, well. I do not know how else to tell you that Sent keeps making you look bad out there, but know that she does.'' Xavier could not hold himself back.

''I was going to ask her why she has the need to attend that party, but you know Sent. I can't stand it when she starts to throw a bad rage, espeially at me.'' Prince Bane was wary.

''I should have put a leash on her from the onset, now she is beyond control. Does she not know that she would look like every other prostitute in that party? Should anyone have to inform her before she knows about it?'' Prince Bane asked nobody in particular.

''You can do it now. You still have the time. Look, Sent will ruin a lot for you if you don't step up to her. Tell her to lay low. I always told you about allowing her be in the forefront, but you saw nothing wrong with it. Now, look at where we are. Why don't you ask her to lay the hell down!'' Xavier was happy that at least, Prince Bane had started to think of calling Sent to order.
