Detective Liam Niles: The Diarium of Lady Tauna Drake- Second Edition by BONITA HIGHLEY - HTML preview

Twenty one year old Devon Niles, tread the corridor. Sees Breyen, immediate stops her. “Breyen. Why haven’t you been in touch with me lately?”

Breyen, gives him a smile. “I’ve been busy with my charity work. One of my helpers will be here shortly.”

Devon, with slight annoyance. “Oh, let me guess. It’s about that daft boyfriend of yours, the one with the untidy appearance with the strange humor, or…that other boy, that arrogant prick, with the slick hair that could shine the castle’s stone floor, that thinks he’s god’s gift to women.”

Breyen-“Why Devon Niles, are you jealous.”

Devon, stood corrected. “Me jealous? No way.”

Breyen, with a stare at him. “Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it.”

Colin comes into the corridor. “Breyen. Ever so nice to see you again. Devon. Don’t you have some kind of duties to attend, heir boy? I would like some time with Breyen. Alone. I don’t think she wants to be with someone with the likes of you.”

Devon, disgusted, pulls out his sword point it at him.

Liam, with Tauna, treading the corridor, seeing their son withdraw his sword, pointing it at Colin, but without Colin attacking him, springs into action. “Devon! Stand down! What has gotten into you?! Colin, move on.”

Colin leaves.

Devon stood in abiding, puts his sword back into his scabbard. Stands ridged.

Liam, sternly goes to his son. “Devon. Not sure what is going through that mind of yours, but you had better deal with it, is that understood? Never attack an unarmed person-get that!”

Devon, with tight lip scowl. “Yes Father. I understand.”

Liam, kept his stern eyes upon him. “Good. Now move on with your duties. Don’t you ever let me see that again.” He adamantly jerked his head to his side to gesture him to leave.

Breyen, taking the hint, walks away from all, walking passed Devon.

Liam and Tauna, seeing this.

Liam, takes a brief look at Tauna. “I take it, it’s about Breyen, right?”

Tauna, “Yes. He wants her. But doing it the wrong way. Like someone else I know.”

Liam, with questionable pause. “ And who is that?”

Tauna, unsettled. “Princess Mariam.”

Princess Mariam, coming around the corner of the corridor, overhearing their conversation, pulled back in a corner listening intently to them.

Liam, focused on Tauna. “And what about Princess Mariam?”

Tauna, hesitant at first. “I saw you two alone. She had slightly touched your chest. Thank god it was with your shirt buttoned. And thank god, you rejected her by pulling her away from you.”

Liam, with sincerity for her. “ Tauna, I did send her away. My love and commitment is endearing only to you, you know that.”

Tauna, tilt her head down and up. “Yes, I know.

Princess Mariam, ever so quietly leaves the corridor back to her room. But then sees a strange cloth face wrapped man right behind her.

The strange man, quiet in secret, summoned her to himself.

Princess Mariam, showing no fear, goes to him.

The strange man stood at her attendance. “ King Edwin sent me.”
