Looking at that flushed and maidenly shy face, Sebastian’s heart was itching like a thousand ants were crawling over it.
But this girl was the daughter of Lord Regent; even though she was not in favor, it was still unwise to act rashly.
“Lady Debeur is the perfect picture of beauty and grace.” James laughed as he inched closer to the girl.
Luna thought Prince Sebastian was trying to court her, her face blushing more deeply, passing her neck and down the neckline of her gown.
Sebastian watched and grabbed Luna’s hand.
“Your highness, I…” Luna was both elated and hesitant.
“I couldn’t wait to kiss a beauty like you… Why don’t we take advantage of our situation right now…” Sebastian left the sentence unfinished as his actions turned clumsy. He hurriedly picked up Luna and strode to the hedge beside the lotus pond to kiss her hungrily.
Sebastian was too far gone to think over his unusual situation. His mind was filled with the delicate beauty lying beneath him as he ripped open her dress…
Pearl, the personal maid of Luna Debeur was panicked when she couldn’t find her mistress. She called others to help her to look for Luna but had no avail. At last, pearl had no options but to report this to Ralph.
“This troublesome daughter!” Ralph Debeur slammed his palm on the desk; his hard face was alive with anger. How dare she make such a scandal during this time!
The side consort saw the storm in Ralph’s usual calm eyes and understood the situation. She flicked her eyes and suggested, “Let’s go find them, maybe she was just getting some air.”
Ralph pondered and nodded. He walked out briskly with a swish of his robe; no one noticed the grimness in his eyes.
Everyone didn’t dare to remain behind after Ralph, the lord Rgent walked out, they followed out.
They found no sign of Luna after searching every corner of the mansion. The mansion was neither too big nor too small, but they still looked for half an hour.
Just at that moment, someone noticed the absence of Prince Sebastian, which made Lord Regent’s face look thunderous.
“Don’t fret milord, She might be playing somewhere else.” The side consort was getting more and more frightened by the look on his face.
They were standing in the garden, behind the hedge.
Ralph Debeur was just about to open him mouth when he heard the sound of crying behind him. Looking at everyone around him, he asked, “Did you all hear something?”
Everyone looked puzzled and shook their head.
“Did you hear wrong, milord.” The side consort said carefully.
Seeing that Ralph didn’t reply, she knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help having a feeling of smugness, only receiving a cold sneer from him.
Lord Debeur moved steadily near the hedge, his instincts telling him there was definitely something wrong on the other side of the hedge.
Everyone followed his lead. The side consort felt a bit put out by the lord’s attitude, but she still speeded up to follow him.
By a pond near the hedge, the Lord Regent suddenly stopped and froze.
“Oh my god!” The side consort shrieked, sounding as if she was scared.
The sight before them was indeed very scary.
In the lake there were two people covered with mud, their position compromising and scandalous. It was not hard to recognize them. They were the missing Luna Debeur and Prince Sebastian.
The royal Prince and the daughter of the Lord Regent committing such a lewd act on a public feast!
Ralph Debeur looked sideways at the side consort; his bottomless eyes filled with unrecognizable meaning, making her cower in fright.
“Help me out of this pond.” The rigid prince found it difficult to speak.
No one thought to pull him out. Mocking laughter made Sebastian’s dirtied face even darker, feeling ashamed and enraged at the same time.
“Father…” Luna looked carefully at Ralph, her eyes filled with fear. She then lowered her head into Sebastian’s embrace.
Luna’s actions stimulated Sebastian. “Get away from me at once!” He screamed.
Damn! When did he ever bear this kind of humiliation?
Looking back on the previous events, he was murderous. He was having sex with Luna Debeur, but then they fell into the muddy pond somehow, and in that compromising position.
“Go help Prince Sebastian out of the lake.” Lord Debeur looked at the slow footman behind him, his face embarrassed.
If this scandal got out, the reputation of the Debeur house will be ruined. He was not related to the royals by blood, making him not an actual royalty. The fourth prince was very in favor, he would get no more than a slap on the wrist for this scandal.
