Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

She watched him closely for a change in his expression that will assure her that he did it to save her life and not saving the ticket he needed to become king.

Hearing what she said, he finally understood why she was coming against him with her words sharp as an arrow and hurtful. She was obviously offended. He smiled as he slowly laid on the bed and stared at her. "I saved you because you were Rose," he said truthfully although he sounded very unpersuasive.

"Oh I see," she said walking away from the bed he now lay on. She slowly became uncomfortable in that enclosed space with him."I know you don't believe and there is absolutely no way for me to successfully persuade you," Liam said softly as he closed her eyes.

She wondered how he could remain so calm and she remembered when he told her they were fakes. She decided to make no comment on what he just said and change the topic. "What did you mean when you called them fakes?" Rose asked giving him a confused look.

"They actually almost fooled me. They dressed just like a gang I know of. They won't be able to blow this wall up even with an armor tank," Liam said with his eyes closed.

His hands were folded on his chest and he looked very peaceful on the bed that Rose was beginning to doubt the fact that a dozen of men waiting our there to kill him. He looked like he was someone having a nice time on the beach.

"I am sorry to have involved you in all this mess. I promised to protect you but you always seem to get into more and more trouble. I promise you none of this will happen again. I am powerful enough to keep them off," he assured Rose.

He sounded like an employee promising his employer that he will do better. He made Rose feel as though he was only joking. She did not understand how those men outside could come against him with all the guards he had.

This floor had a very tight security that even a ghost will find it hard to come in without getting caught. How then did these guys enter into his room so freely like they were in their home?

"Do you want me to show you how I get rid of my enemies?" he asked with his eyes closed.

"Uh?"

"I wanted to show you how well protected you are under my protection. Open the curtain," he said slowly sitting up on the bed.

Without the curtain now, Rose could only see the nice room she walked into earlier. The room was empty. The dozen men were all gone like they were never in the room at all.

"I got a tip that someone wanted me assassinated. I thought you should see how powerful I am. All those men that were here, are dead. I know who sent them too. The person tried to imitate a well-known gang. They actually made me believe them at first but I know every gang in this kingdom perhaps more than they know themselves. The formation they made when they entered made me know they were fake. They were not just fake, they were foolish. Someone must have set them up to meet their end," Liam said.

Rose was not pleased at all. "What if I was outside?" she asked frowning.

"I will never have let you leave. If you were outside, they will also have never gotten inside. My men let them but they were too foolish to notice any of these," he explained.

"I want to leave now," Rose said not enjoying their conversation. "I did not get to see what happened to them. This could all be a show you put on for me to trust you."

"I don't deny that fact. I wanted to perform a show and that is what I did. I promise to make all your enemies disappear just like those guys did," he said promised looking so sincere.

"I don't care if you make them disappear or kill them right before me and the world all I want is to be protected and assisted till I get the throne," she said coldly.

"Then I guess you enjoyed the show," he said with a smile she wished a handkerchief could do a good job of wiping it off his face.

He acted so real there was a moment she thought she saw him panic but it seems that was only her imagination. How will he panic when he had it all planned out?

"Thanks you for your liver by the way," she appreciated avoiding his silver eyes which now held a happy smile she found attractive.

"You are welcome," he said easily. "I am sorry if my show frightened you. I guess I am not good at coming up with the right action to take place in a scene to prove my loyalty. You asked my dad to take a bullet for you so, stay by my side so I could take the bullet for you when they time comes."

"Your desire to become king is persuasive enough. You don't need to bother," she answered him coldly looking at the empty room she could still not understand how those men disappeared in just a few minutes.

"My subordinates found out who sent the psychopath to you. It was not the queen or a member of the council rather an old man who seemed to know your identity. The old man has a young man living with him. We are investigating the young man but for now, the old man was punished along with the psychopathic lady. They will never get the opportunity to hurt you again," Liam promised.

Rose was really grateful to hear that but what she could not understand is why an old man will try to kill her for no reason. There was definitely more to the story that Liam was hiding from her in a not so skilled manner perhaps to make her curious.
