Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

"Carl knows my true identity," Rose told Leah when she came to visit her a day later.

"And more people will suspect and confirm your true identity," Leah replied sincerely.

"That was why I agreed to work with Liam," Rose said in agreement.

"We all debated over this for days but concluded to let you know where Liam is and why you haven't seen him in a while," Leah said sitting on the chair close to Rose's bed.

"I guess he is too busy being a mafia boss or mafia king as he calls it," she said with a trace of sarcasm and anger. When she saw the look Leah wore, she paused and immediately regretted what she just said which showed that she cared about what Liam was doing and was also unhappy that he did not come to see her.

"When you got stabbed, we could not find a donor so Liam donated part of his liver to you when he found out he could. He did not follow some of the rules he was asked to follow after the surgery and he ended up unconscious due to some complications. He is still unconscious as I speak," Leah narrated.

Rose found herself unable to believe any of what Leah just said. Why will the great Mr. Hale donate his liver to a lost princess who had almost no chance at all of becoming Queen? She was just like a wingless eagle. She knew it, she knew she was really powerless at her state and he gave her his wings to fly.

She scoffed displeased. "I guess becoming king means so much to him," she said sarcastically. The fact that he had to safe her live once again only made her more aware than ever of her very vulnerable state.

Leah ignored what Rose said leaving the lover quarrel to the lovers alone. "We think it is right you visit him it might make him wake up because right now things don't look too good," she said pleadingly.

"Sure," she agreed immediately without a second thought. "Well . . . I think it is only right I thank him."

"I think so too," Leah agreed not exposing the fact that the eagerness in Rose's eyes was not hidden at all. It was as though she might run there on her own if no one takes her there.

The moment the wheel chair Rose's sat on was wheeled into the glass room where Liam was, she could not hold back the tears that ran down her cheeks. She did not notice when everyone left the room as she stood up from the wheelchair with shaky legs but staggered her way to his bed. He looked so pale and she felt so guilty since she knew he was in that situation because of her.

She reached to his pale face and traced her fingers over his sharp jaw to his lips. She began crying hard as she could not believe that he might actually die because he wanted to save her. At that point, she forgot what she was angry about earlier concerning him becoming the next king.

Liam's fingers twitched as her fingers traced against his skin tickling him with every feathery touch. She did not notice it but he was trying really hard to hold back from smiling or making any visible movement.

"You shouldn't have done it if you knew you could not listen to the doctors and recover first before running around unrestrained," she scolded him as she sobbed. She imagined Jace blaming her for his brother's death. She did not want to be blamed for the death of such a powerful figure. "Why did you risk your life to save me? You should have thought of your safety first," she continued. "I guess becoming king means more to you than your life."

Liam had to wince when he heard that. He never expected her to think of him as someone with so much greed that he could risk his life and all he had just to become king. Or maybe that was right, maybe he really wanted to risk everything he had just so he could become king but not in her absence.

He wanted to become king when she is the queen. He wanted to reign with her, by her side. This was the level of his greed; he was willing to give his all to make that happen including his life over and over again. He wished she understood. It was a pity that life treated her so cruel that she was not willing to accept that there was someone who was willing to give all to help her.

He was selfish but not in the way she thinks he is. He loved and cared for her more than he should or more than most people will call possible or normal. She must have missed the expression he made earlier due to her accusation because she continued sobbing clueless.

Liam stiffened despite how much he wanted to keep pretending to be unconscious when he felt an unusual presence in the surrounding. Rose who was busy berating both herself and the young man lying 'unconscious' on the bed had no idea of what Liam sensed.

The glass was soundproof but Liam's otherworldly hearing ability made it very easy for him to hear but it also made it a little too late for him to leave the glass room for a more hidden shelter when the door of the room was kicked down and a dozen of men walked into the room holding machine guns.

Each of them were dressed in black with mask that made it impossible for most people to identify who they were but as soon as Liam saw them, he knew they were an opponent he have knew. He had a habit of only taking notes of significant things around him and skipping the insignificant ones which literally meant he could recognize these men because they were significant opponents and could cause a notable damage although they were just too little to kill him.

The moment a man stood in front of the glass wall and pulled out a grenade Liam designed with the thought of breaking such walls on his mind, Liam knew he must have made a mistake.
