"Hello," Nathaniel answered his phone. An unknown number called him and he was surprised, not many people called him.

"Nathaniel," A familiar voice came through the speaker, chilling him to the bone.

"Prince Adrien," Nathaniel said, fear evident in his voice. He still hasn't gotten over that email he received. He quickly tried to hide it though, "What a pleasure it is speaking to you. May I ask what it is you called me for?"

"I just wanted to speak to you over a couple drinks. You know, apologize for how I acted on the occasions in which met," Adrien said, sounding genuine.

'Thank God! He doesn't suspect me!' Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief before replying, "I'm afraid I'm not in the country right now. I'm out doing some business. We'd have to meet up some other time."

"Nonsense!" Adrien said, startling Nathaniel. "I'll just come to where you are. I need to get my mind off some things and a mini trip would to good for me."

"I- N-No need to come where I am!" Nathaniel tried to change his mind, but it was useless.

"I really need to speak to you. Maybe we'll even be friends! Where are you?"

Nathaniel gave up. Maybe being friends with the Prince would make him less of a suspect. "I'm in the Caribbean."

"The Caribbean is big, Nathaniel, I need to know exactly where in the Caribbean you are," Adrien said, sounding as calm and kind as ever.

Nathaniel sighed then spoke, "I'm in Barbados. I'm staying at my family's vacation house."

"Sounds nice," Adrien hummed. "Can I take two friends with me? I mean, I'm going to be on a sorta vacation, I'm going to need company."

"Aren't I enough company?" Nathaniel chuckled nervously. The last thing he needed was Adrien's friends in his house.

"Not really. I like having company from home when I leave the country," Adrien stated.

"Okay," Nathaniel sighed. "I'll send you all the details to get to the house later."

"You're the best, Nath. Anyways, I gotta go. Duty calls," The line then went dead and Nathaniel slowly moved the phone from his ear.

"Did he just called me Nath?" Nathaniel asked himself.

Nathaniel called for a guard and within minutes he was by his side.

"You called, your highness?"

"Luka, I need you to gather everything for the princess and burn them right now. Her wedding dress, all the dresses I bought, and her jewelry," He ordered, taking a seat on his bed.

"May I ask why?"

"Prince Adrien is coming to stay here for a while and he's bringing two friends with him," Nathaniel stated.

"That's odd," Luka commented and Nathaniel nodded in agreement.

"Very."

Little did they know, a nursemaid was listening to their conversation.

Chloe was braiding Marinette's hair when Juleka burst into the room. Her face was red and her breathing was fast and rugged.

"Why do you look like you just ran a marathon?" Marinette asked, glancing at her.

"You won't believe what I just heard," She said, trying to catch her breath as she sat on the bed.

"What is it?" Chloe asked when she finished the braid and turned to Juleka.

"Adrien's coming here, along with two of his friends. I just heard Prince Nathaniel talking to him on the phone," Juleka said lowly.

Chloe and Marinette's eyes widened simultaneously.

"What?!" They exclaimed in unison and Juleka quickly shushed them.

"Be quiet! I also heard him telling my brother to burn all your things: your wedding dress, the clothes he bought for you and to get ready of all your jewelry, including your tiara."

Marinette was angry. The wedding dress she wore when she got married to Adrien. The dress that her mom saw her in and started to cry. The very first dress she actually liked. And that tiara was expensive.

"How many guest rooms are in this house?" Marinette asked suddenly, catching Juleka and Chloe's attention.

"Five," Juleka answered. "This house is not as big as the other one that they have on the other side of this island.

Island...

"Convince your brother to give me the tiara," Marinette said quietly but quickly.

"Why?" Chloe asked, both her and Juleka were confused by the princess' request.

"I'll break it into five pieces and Juleka will put it in all the rooms. I think my friend, Alya, will be one of the persons who Adrien will take with him. She's smart and I know that they'll snoop around and if they find all pieces of the tiara, they'll put two and two together," Marinette explained.

"That is so smart," Juleka said, her eyes open in wonder.

"I didn't know you had it in you," Chloe joked.

Marinette smiled, but then it quickly dropped from her face and she spoke, "Nathaniel isn't that stupid. He won't let me and Chloe stay here when he knows Adrien's coming, that's why we need to put this plan in to action."

Juleka nodded, "I'll convince my brother to give me the tiara and I'll find slightly obvious places to hide the pieces."

Marinette grinned, "Good."

"WE'RE GOING TO BARBADOS!" Nino shouted as he ran passed Gabriel who rose an eyebrow at Adrien and Alya who were facepalming.

"What does he mean by that?" Gabriel asked and Adrien scratched the back of his neck.

"We're going on a small vacation to take my mind off some things," He stated sheepishly.

"Does this has anything to do with Prince Nathaniel?" Gabriel asked, shooting Adrien a look. Alya held back a snicker.

"A little bit," Adrien said slowly.

"Define little."

Adrien rolled his eyes, "He invited us to stay with him at his family's vacation house."

Gabriel wasn't convinced, but he let it go.

"Take a two dozen guards with you. You have one week out of the country," He said, checking his watch. "No more, no less."

Adrien grinned, "Will do, father."

"Please stay safe, Adrien. I don't want to have to return to the higher head because I killed someone again."

Adrien laughed, "When am I ever not safe, father?"

"Do you want a book on it?"

Alya laughed at Adrien's unimpressed look.

"Whatever."
