33 days after the explosion - Cabaret

Prince asked for Roxanne like last time, with deadly looks from behind him, both from Aria and Susan(for obvious reasons)

He said it before entering that it wasn't what it looked like, so they gave him the benefit of the doubt, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't kick his ass if it turned out they were right

So, a little scared that if Roxanne teases him too much he may end up dead, prince went to her room, hoping that he would come back alive

Seen her in revealing clothes while sitting in a seductive position on a bed and adding her gorgeous looks didn't help his odds

"Welcome back, did you come to have some fun?I charge extra when it's a group"(Roxanne)

Aaaand he was screwed

"Please don't say stuff like that or I may end getting kill by these lovely girls"(prince)said while sweating a little and closing the door behind him

"Fine fine, do they know who you are?"(Roxanne)

"Yeah yeah, don't worry about leaks either so don't hold back on the information"(prince)

"Ok, what do ya wanna know prince"(Roxanne)

"Well, let's start with what has been going on around the capital the last few days"(prince)

"Nothing much really, after your stunt outside the palace, most people stop going at those gathering afraid of what may happen. Luckily, since everything is going normally even after the disappearance of most of the royal family, most people are waiting to see what happens next"(Roxanne)

"Oh well, I gathered that much asking around so not much news there. And how about rumors about me"(prince)

"Two different rumors are going around right now. everyone knows that you took a carriage outside the capital and haven't come back yet, so most people among the commoners say that you ran away after getting scared of the protest. The nobles, on the other hand, think you were killed or kidnaped by bandits since your carriage had been found broken near the road. I guess both rumors turn out to be false"(Roxanne)

"Anything you want to know about that? I don't carry much gold so I prefer to pay with information"(prince)

"I will give those two bits of information as a freebie since you already bring new ones by been here"(Roxanne)said with a seductive smile

"Fine, let's get to the important ones.I want to have a private meeting with the duke without him knowing or anyone else knowing, how could I do that?"(prince)

"oh!can I know why this sudden interest in meeting the duke secret?"(Roxanne)

"Only if your information is good enough, since it's worth quite a bit this piece of information"(Prince)play it cool

"Mmmm, if you can get into the palace incognito, you can find him in your father's office doing "your" work in the morning, the other option is sneaking at his mansion at night or a masked party he is hosting the day after tomorrow. Now tell me, why you want to meet him in secret"(Roxanne)

"Nothing big, it's just that he tried to kidnap me, and I want to know why"(prince)shrugged while trying to act like it wasn't THAT serious of a topic

Of course, as an information broker, this bit of information surprised her, and a serious look could be seen on her face

"You are not lying, right prince?"(Roxanne)said while showing a threatening face

"Nope, but if you double cross me with the duke, death won't be the worst that will happen to you"(prince) continue to act indifferent, but showed a deadly glare at the end

"Well, knowing your mother reputation, I can believe that"(Roxanne)went back to a joking manner

"So, anything else you know that may interest me?"(prince)

"Not really, I may have to research a lot more about the duke now, and make some moves since this will have great repercussions.If you don't mind me asking, do you know why he did it? for all I know about the duke, he should be the last person to revel against the country. The duke had done more for your father and this kingdom than all the nobles and royalty combine, it makes no sense that he would a traitor"(Roxanne)

"If I knew, I would tell you for a price, sadly I don't know, so I want to meet him and asking"(prince)

"Fine, give me a second and I will write everything I know"(Roxanne)said while getting out of bed

She went for a piece of paper and started to write on a desk. After finishing, she gave it a kiss and hand it over to the prince

"As a good look charm"(Roxanne)winked at the prince

"thanks, and see ya"(prince) took it gladly

"Don't be a stranger, next time we can even do more than talking, you know? I may not even charge you"(Roxanne) gave him a small kiss on the chick an even whispered the last part to his ear

Prince turns a little red but managed to keep himself in control(barely) and left the room while trying to keep his cool and failing miserably

Meanwhile the two girls were a little confused about everything that happen, and for some reason a little upset. Aria even sent a small punch to the kidneys, and Susan sent him deadly looks since she couldn't harm him

So they left the cabaret, with the prince having pain at his side and a b--er, making feel like a masochist.Meanwhile, the two girls were upset and ignoring him(not like he was n't used to it)

Problem was, the prince really didn't want to do what came next, since it was obviously a pain in the ass, but if he wanted to successfully reach the duke, he had no choice but to do it

So he pump himself up and went to buy a cake at a bakery before they close up since it was quite late

He needed to bribe someone and that was his best weapon

Note: sorry for been short, but it was a good part to stop
