The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 6

Tour of the Kingdom

Last night Cade took my phone so it could have service here. I just finished getting ready for my tour of the kingdom. This morning he sent me a text saying they'd be waiting out front for me. When I found them, I noticed Stewart was with them. It was nice to see a second familiar face. With them were another girl I never met. "Stewart said you met last night, and this is Arma," Cade introduced us.

Arma shook my hand. "I work in the garden."

"That seems fun." I was trying not to make it too obvious that I was nervous. All the friends I had back home made it difficult to socialize with.

"We're going into the city by flight, do you know how to fly?" Arma asked.

Cade answered for me. "Don't tell any of the other workers but her shifting abilities are sealed for now. She can ride on my back. I'm serious about secrecy." He looked at me. "Everyone here is obsessed with gossiping, try to keep a low profile," he warned me.

"You don't have to tell me twice," Stewart reassured us.

Arma joked, "You keep secrets up the ass, but you also gossip like the rest of them." I'm sure Arma was included in that too.

I took this as an opportunity. "Like the secret you're keeping about what Lexus was really doing last night."

Arma gasped. "What secret are you keeping for Prince Lexus?? I tell you all my secrets." She looked at Cade before continuing. "He's the only one I tell secrets and I don't tell him yours," she cleared up.

Cade rolled his eyes before shifting into his dragon form and we ended up all climbing on. "Well Lexus was just sitting outside your room while I was cleaning," Stewart reluctantly muttered. "He wasn't really doing anything so I wouldn't think anything of it. He told me not to say anything or I'd be fired so you guys can't say anything. If you do, you'll be risking my job which means I'm back on the streets or in the skies." I guess this job was doing a lot for him financially.

"Aqua, don't get involved with Prince Lexus," Arma advised. "Just in case he was sitting out there waiting for you to make a move or something just don't bother pursuing it."

Her advice led me to believe maybe he had done this before. "It's okay, I'm probably not his type anyways... I work for him now and he has his fiancée."

Arma didn't seem very convinced by her expression. "Hasn't stopped him before."
