1 week later

Its been a week and a half since Skye has been living at the palace, after last week's gala, the prince had chosen 3 potentials, Thomas, Harriet and Skye, they had been given a week to get used to living in the palace before they started training.

Skye learnt alot about his competitors, Thomas was a Duke whose family was having financial problems and he had to marry the prince for prestige and fame to uplift the family name, Harriet was simply a bitch, she was born a princess and she treated the staff like slaves.

Currently Skye was in his room when Edward and a few maids came in, Skye stood up as soon as he saw the prince

"Hey Skye, have a seat" said Edward as he also sat down.

"What can i do for you?" Skye asked, none of the royals had come to see him since he came here well except for Prince, who snuck in the night he got his room.

"I brought these maids here to tutor you, they have some experience in public health"

"Thanks Eddy" Skye said smiling, Edward chuckled, no one called him Eddy except for his brother, but he didnt mind Skye calling him that.

After Edward left, Skye took out his books as the maids settled in to start the lesson.

"Would you like some juice?" One of the maids asked, her name was Veronica.

"No thank you, you can have some if you want" Skye replied smiling, The other maid, Mercy, looked at him with wide eyes, no one offers the maids food except the king and queen,

"No no...we dont want to get in trouble" Veronica said. Skye frowned, was it a big deal to offer the maids some juice? He'll talk to Prince about this,

"I insist though I'll keep it a secret" he said smiling, Mercy hesitantly poured a glass of apple juice and took a sip, she smiled.

"Thank you, now lets start the lesson" she said pointing at the books. Skye nodded and they started their session.

"So how are the potentials" luke asked, eventhough he knew that his son only had eyes for one particular person.

"Harriet is rude to the staff, Thomas is not even gay he's here for the money and Skye is perfect" replied Prince, he thought things would go bad with Skye here but nothing happened.

Luke sighed, hopefully his son knows what he's doing and just this once, he'll trust him.

Edward and Prince were taking a walk around the estate,

"So how's the whole potential thing going" Edward asked.

"Honestly i think Harriet and Thomas should leave they don't serve a purpose for being here" Prince shrugged.

"So you're saying you know who will be your Queen?"

"Definitely" Prince said smiling, he can't wait to tell Skye.

"Well I'm happy for you" Edward said patting his brother on the back.

Later that day

Edward was making his way to Skye's room when he saw Thomas leaving Skye's room while he fixed up his pants, Edward froze, it couldn't be what he was thinking right? No it couldn't be, he quickly rushed inside Skye's room, where Skye was sitting on the bed combing his hair.

"Why was Thomas here?" He asked still shocked.

"Oh he came to ask if i could fix his slacks they ripped" Skye replied.

"Ripped huh, why did he look like he just received the best blowjob of his life" Edward asked his anger rising, Skye looked at him with wide eyes, was Edward implying that he was messing around with Thomas?

"Edward, I'm telling the truth, what's wrong?"

"I should be asking you that! I came here to share some good news with you and i find another man leaving your room what am i supposed to think!" Edward yelled.

Prince opened the door as he heard his brother yelling,

"Whats going on?"he asked.

"Ask your brother, i was just minding my business then boom he's overthinking things, do you really think I'd do that to your brother Edward" Skye asked he was offended.

"I don't know you that well, so yeah i think you were messing around with Thomas" Edward replied.

"Skye, what is he talking about and what does Thomas have to do with it?"

"Thomas came here a few minutes ago, he had ripped his slacks on his left leg, i sown it for him and left, next thing i know, Edward comes busting in saying i was having a fling with Thomas" Skye replied, never in his life had he thought he'd be in such a predicament.

"Edward...trust him okay"

Edward sighed and left the room.

"Wow, i can't even" Skye raised his hands in defeat.

"Listen to me, dont let it get to you okay, i have good news for you" Prince said smiling.

"I'm listening" Skye replied his good mood streak had just ended.

"I choose you"

"Huh?"

"I choose you silly"

"Wait, you want me to your Queen?"

"Yes Skye"

Skye smiled happily and hugged Prince who hugged him back, and they kissed which immediately deepened.

Edward opened Thomas's room, thomas was laying in bed, eyes closed as he listened to music. Edward tapped his shoulder.

"Jesus!...i mean, your highness how can i help you?" he asked.

"What were you doing in Skye's room?"

"Huh oh.." Thomas quickly thought of a plan, if he wants to win he gotta eliminate the biggest threat and right now it was Skye.

"Ohh that...we umm...you know" Thomas said acting all shy.

Edward had heard enough, he returned to Skye's room to find Skye and Prince kissing, it angered him. He banged on the door.

"You whore!"
