'Well, shit, Alexis. You pissed him off. Congratulations.' Alexis let the smile fade, watching him act more aloof than before.
Then felt her blood ran cold.
Did he just insult her kingdom? Her ruling style? The smile had disappeared with a straight lined face near apathy but taking a step further to ire. She regarded him coldly, eyes lacking that shine to become more dull and dangerous. Her heart back to race, adrenaline starting to spike.
'Don't hesitate! You should have finished me!'
She took a step toward him, arm about to pull back to throw her shoes, before stopping. No. This was not that time. This Scorpio was not that Past Prince. Her arm dropped and she softly laughed at herself. "Go ahead, Prince Scorpio. I will return to the castle after a while. After all, I intended to stay the night." Alexis turned on her heel, walking out across the beach and away from Scorpio, humming an Arian tune to herself. She would not allow herself to be weak.
