His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 10

We both shook our heads. Between creating the lights and cleaning for the Blue Moon Ceremony, not much free time was left for fun and adventure.

"Go on then," he said, waving his knife in the direction of the door. "I'll give you an hour break before I put you to work on them." He motioned towards the potatoes.

Lizzy quickly grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the kitchen.

"This is our chance!" She squealed.

"Chance for what?" I asked, tugging at my arm, trying to get her to release it.

Lizzy turned to me and said with an earnest voice, "We can go spy on the Prince!"

I gave her a scolding click and swatted her hand from my arm.

"We can't just go and look in on the Prince!" I said to her.

"Omygosh Fayette! He's so gorgeous! Maybe he's training!" She had a wicked gleam in her eyes.

"Lizzy," I moaned, "You've only seen the Prince for what? Three seconds? That's not enough judgment to go off of. You probably just exaggerated how he looked in your mind."

Suddenly Lizzy stopped abruptly in the hallway and turned quickly around to face me.

"Wait," she said, her mouth gaping open in shock at a sudden revelation that had occurred to her. "Have you ever seen the Prince before?"

I looked away guiltily in a different direction.

"FAYETTE!" Lizzy screamed.

"Alright!" I yelled. "I haven't seen him okay? No, I don't know what he looks like."

"We have to go find him right now," Lizzy said in a hurried single breath.

She grabbed my arm again and we were racing down the hall.

We stopped when Lizzy saw Mr. Joseph.

"Mr. Joseph!" Lizzy waved her hand in greeting at him and dragged us to be closer.

Mr. Joseph turned around and raised an eyebrow.

"Not working girls?" He said. I gave an audible gulp, but Lizzy bravely stepped forward and explained, "Lefair gave us an hour off. We were wondering if the Prince was around?"

I gasped out loud at Lizzy's boldness.

Lizzy! I screamed in my mind, you can't just ask about the Prince's location like that!

Mr. Joseph chuckled at us though and directed us to another man.

"This is George," Mr. Joseph said, "He can tell you everything there is about the Prince and the kingdom."

Lizzy and I looked at George. He stood stiffly straight up. "Thank you, sir. Very kind sir." He said to Mr. Joseph.

Mr. Joseph nodded and whispered to us, "Yes, do try to have fun girls," before walking away.

Lizzy and I turned back to George who was still standing at attention.

Lizzy and I gave each other confused looks.

"They call him the Stone Prince," George said to Lizzy and I. Awe and fear mixed with his voice.

Again Lizzy and I gave each other confused looks.

"The stone Prince?" I whispered questionably to Lizzy.

"It's probably because of his abs," she whispered back.

"I-it-what?" George sputtered at Lizzy.

"No?" Lizzy said giving him a questioning gaze.

"Maybe he likes...plants too much?" I suggested.

"I said stone not stoned!" George said, breaking his stiff form and throwing his hands in the air frustrated.

He moaned his regret at ever deciding to engage us in conversation.

"Okay then," I said, knowing George wasn't taking our joking to well. "Why is he called that?"

"Because," he said, straightening back up in his stiff stance, "his face never changes. It's like it's been chiseled in stone. He only has one blank expression that he wears."

Lizzy an I stared at George, who now seemed satisfied that he had made his point across about the Prince.

George turned away from us walked off. I could tell he didn't want to continue associating himself with us anymore.
