Vareth Is Not Impressed

"What if you two had been discovered by someone else? What if he was luring you into a trap? What if it wasn't the Prince and you found someone else? What if-"Sister!"

"I understand your concerns, but this is ridiculous. None of those things happened thus they do not affect what happens going forward. If I ran into a guard or one of our siblings then the guard would have been sworn into secrecy and our siblings will no doubt laugh at the situation regardless of my having run into them. They'll probably tell me off for everything as well. Julivere would demand I stayed with him instead of leaving to get to ointment to help him heal from where he rubbed himself raw. If it was a trap or if I had discovered someone else I wouldn't be standing let alone be having this conversation. SO PLEASE, drop it and help me find that healing ointment." The Prince was turning out his room trying to find something to help the Alpha Prince's condition.

His sister pulled the bottle out of a box of items their mother definitely would not approve of and tossed it to him. He said a quick thanks and left before she could say anything more. He ran through the halls to get back to the Alpha Prince's room only to find it deserted. He turned and saw the Second Prince admiring his own dagger.

"So you use my brother to quell your heat and ditch him, eh?"

"That couldn't be further from the truth. Where is he? I found the medicine that will he the skin he damaged trying to rut his bed." The Second Prince narrowed his eyes at the older male before the landed on the bottle in his hand. His gaze softened.

"You're telling the truth aren't you?"

"Of course I am. Please, where is he?" The Second Prince gestured that he follow and the two walked into the Princess's room.

"I thought I said to make sure he didn't find us." The Princess hissed as she combed her brother's hair.

"I brought an ointment to help heal his skin. Please give him my sincerest apologies as make sure he applies it to himself after waking, bathing, and before bed. Unless he bathes before bed and not after breakfast. Again, I am terribly sorry for my actions today and will do almost anything to make it up if he'll let me." The Second Prince was handed the bottle and he took it to his siblings who looked over the bottle before relaxing.

"We can talk about forgiving you tomorrow. I want to sleep." The First Prince said calmly and with his eyes narrowed.

"As you wish. Rest well." The Omega bowed and left the room quietly before heading back to his room with his siblings.

His heart was racing and he wondered why he would offer to make up for his actions in such a manner. Shaking his head he kept his expression void as he hurried to take a much needed bath.

After reaching his bath, the Prince stripped out of his clothes and sank into the hot water. Hot enough to make him hiss slightly, but not enough to dissuade his entry. He sank until his bum touched the bottom and then leaned back against the wall. He closed his eyes and let out a please purr as a small smile formed on his lips. He moved down the bath so he could put his head under the water and sank backwards to do so. He stopped when he covered his ears as he thought he heard something, before he shrugged it off and sank all the way. Holding his breath he laid at the bottom of the tub and enjoyed the heat around him. Movement from behind his eyelids caused him to open his eyes and they widened as they caught sight of a man in a dark mask.

The Prince was grabbed and pulled up and out of the tub, but he growled and kicked his assailant in the stomach causing the man to let go of him. Valn left the bathing room in order to grab his dagger from his dresser. He saw his door was open and the bodies of the guards on ground. He had a decision. His dagger across the room to the right? Or a sword from one of the guards at his door on the left?
