Shanz muttered some audible curses under his breath. Whipping his head back slightly, he glared at the maid that he just bedded in. The situation was already worse and the maid's arrival just added the fuel in fire.

Jessie's eyes rested on the maid for a while. A blanket wrapped around her slim figure and her blade shoulder that kept popping up from the veil of blanket, the maid's appearance was very obvious. Any person would understand the meaning of showing up at late night in this half-naked state.

Shanz glanced up at Jessie nervously. Though they had nothing to do with each others, a part of his heart still hoped that Jessie wouldn't watch him taking another woman in his bed.

The maid quickly ran away after receiving a glare from Shanz. She understood that she had appeared on wrong time and walked back to her quarter. A disgusted sneer came from Jessie who saw the maid's running away from there,

" No wonder! Have I interrupted something, Prince Shanz?"

Jessie's tearful eyes glared at him without any emotions on there. Coming back to previous topic, Shanz asked hoping to change the subject,

" Jessie..I have no clue about what are you saying. What happened to Princess Isabella?"

Blood boiled underneath her veins. Keeping her sword stuck over his throat, Jessie replied growling like a caged beast,

" Your men attacked her and killed the baby in her womb. Yet you are telling me that you don't know what happened with her? Prince Shanz, how can you keep lying to me?"

Jessie's voice became emotions as her eyes turned into an endless stream. Perhaps if the person was someone else, she wouldn't feel hurt so much. But the man who caused her sister to loose the light of her life was none other the same man who owned her heart once.

Shanz returned her a blank glare. By the sincerity of her voice and eyes, he understood that no matter how many times he said, Jessie was going to believe that he had killed Isabella's baby.

Shanz dropped his gaze on the sword that was sticking with his skin. His lips pulling up into a bitter smile, he replied failing to hide the overwhelmed emotions in his tone,

" If you believe that I am the one who has killed the same baby of my brother, what are you waiting for? Kill me! Dig the sword into my throat, Princess. Let's end this game blood with blood."

Jessie gave a humourless laughter upon his words. Stepping closer to press the sword harder against his throat, Jessie emphasized each words through the gritting of her teeth,

" Do you think that I can't kill you, Shanz? Look into my eyes and say that one more time. It will take only a few seconds to rip off your heart from your sinful heart. But unfortunately we aren't same."

Shanz compelled her words unknowingly. Staring straight into her bottomless eyes, he really saw the hatred that he never saw before. His heart skipped a bit. Following moment, he smiled bitterly before stating truthfully,

" Whether you believe or not, I don't know anything about the attack that you are blaming me about."

Jessie sneered laughing at his response disbelievingly,

" Do you want me to believe that your own men went to kill my sister but you don't even know about it? Are you joking with my emotions, Prince Shanz? You, the almighty king of DAVINA doesn't even know that his men had gone to kill someone but the king doesn't know about it."

Shanz parted his lips frustratingly. Letting out a low growl, he confessed stressing on his word again,

" I..do..not.. know.. Jessie.."

Jessie glared back at him. Letting the pain of tears falling down, she muttered lowly onto his face,

" Then tell me, who killed that innocent child? Who else wants to kill the child if it's not you? Didn't you always want to get rid of that child?"

Shanz failed to give her any answer. Indeed he wanted to kill that child to get revenge on his death brother. But he changed his mind later on.

Why would he try to kill his own nephew who had the blood of his family? 

His silence only solidified the answer in Jessie's heart. She had started believing that Shanz was behind all of this. Her voice came out again shakingly,

" Breaking my heart and turning me against my own family, all this things weren't enough for you, Shanz? I gave you everything..my loyalty..my love..my soul..my heart but in return, you can't be even truthful with me once in life."

Jessie ended her words with a smile. Painful memories began to haunt in her mind. Her grip from the sword loosened subconsciously and dropped over the floor with a loud thud.

The sound resounded loud inside the quite downhall. Only the sound of her low sobbing echoed and pierced the heart of Shanz slowly.

He wished to pull her into his arms but he knew that he had lost the right. Jessie spoke again pulling her tearful eyes up to look at him,

" You once told me that we can't hate someone in this life whom we loved once, don't you?"

Shanz stayed quiet at her words. He gulped without speaking anything and began to find the person mentally behind this malicious plan. Jessie stepped forward, looking into his eyes with a bitter smile saying,

" Congratulations! You have been successful because I truly hate you now."

Her words buzzed in his ears repeatedly. Shanz looked up at her wordlessly. After the terrible break up, this was the first time that he felt so broken inside by her words.

His own lips parted to say something but he had nothing reasonable to say at that moment. Dropping his eyes back on the floor, Shanz continued to breath painfully through his mouth.

Another sweet bitter smile formed on Jessie's lips. Coming closer, Jessie whispered into his ears slowly,

" I am glad that you broke me, Shanz. Someone like you deserve mistress only not worthy of lover."
