INNOCENT LOVE(BL)

Chapter 20. MARRIAGE.

Madin POV,

I have no idea what I did to this girl but the hatred she has for me is indescribable. She is marrying the prince and am not fighting it with her so why don't she mind her own business too!

It's been a week and within that short period of time the marriage ceremony has already been set,  also the ceremony of making Prince Arthur the king is happening today , his father is now old enough to retire from the position as a king , he also want to see his son rule before he pass away  .

Catherina stopped being a servant in that one week and became the prince's fiance . I got to know that she is the general's daughter. Of course it's not Micheal , he is not a Knight anymore, he was burned from the palace.

Before the ceremony began the king had said that Lady Catherina Asbetari is the best choice for the prince's wife because she's smart in mind and even good hearted because she accepted to be the prince's bride even after knowing that he likes a man , that she is kind enough to think about the prince's happiness.

For that reason she is a blessing to the kingdom and she's going to help the prince rule the kingdom perfectly.

It's like the king forgot about my presence in the palace a very long time ago , I know he doesn't like me but talking like that , it feels like he was directing to me. He want me to feel bad of which of course I do.

Arthur is not saying much which is hurting me a lot , the fact that I see him chatting happily with his family and his new wedded wife at the table, it anger me so much .

He said he regretted loving me and would do whatever it takes to get rid of his feelings for me , but he changed his mind about it saying that he want to be with me , so why is he looking so happy about this?! Is he forgetting about our promise, yesterday night he told me that he made it clear to lady Catherina that he is just marrying her for one reason which is children , so if she doesn't want that she has an chance to refuse the marriage but lady Catherina said she is fine with that .

Well , he doesn't seem like he is just marrying her for children because right now am the last person he look like he is thinking about.

There are many people in the hall , eating , drinking , others chatting. There are entertainment  girls dancing in the middle of the crowd.

Am starting to feel dizzy , I think I've drunk a lot of alcohol than I should. I stand up walking out of the hall through the hallways , I want to catch some fresh air . I can't see clearly, am stepping on the ground with much force thinking that it's a hill only to meet a flat surface.

My leg buckle and just when I think am going to meet the floor I land in someone's strong arms again  .

"You are so drunk , jeez ! " I look up to him but I cant see his face clearly, I've never even seen him before . Or maybe I have but I can't remember clearly. Oh right ! Jeremy! Arthur's bodyguard. How can I not know him?!

I try to move away from him but he hold me to him . " You are drunk , I'll help you to your room , hey.. stay still  , I don't bite !"

" Am fine.. thank you..but I'll.. walk myself. " I struggle with words until I manage to pass the information.

" You almost hit yourself on the floor , come on , let me help you . I get it , I know how it hurts to see someone you love with someone else but there's nothing you can do about it . " he say looking hurt .

" Did your lover love someone ? Wait, is it that evil girl there?!" I ask sobering up immediately . It's like all the alcohol has been cleared from my body system. We're sitting on the floor , him still holding me.

" Her?! No Never , I hate her so much because she's making you suffer. "

" What are you talking about?" I ask confused.

" Is it that hard to understand that I hate her so much because she is making you suffer? I can't be with you Madin but that doesn't mean I don't want you to be happy , you love prince Arthur and I made peace with that , and what's remaining is wishing you happiness. "

"I don't understand you." I say completely confused, I try to get out of his arms and stand to leave but he hold me back .

" I knew you are a boy from the start Madin ."

Okay what on earth is he talking about ?!

" What are you talking about , for the last time make it clear." I say impatiently.

" Am just a nobody , but I can give you care and the love that you'll ever need in this world because I love you so much Madin. Since the first time I saw you ."

What the hell?! Is he kidding me ?! Jeremy is actually a bit older than me with defined features, strong and handsome face . If I were to guess his age I would say he is 25years old .

" How did you know that I was a man from before and why would you love me if you knew that ?!" I ask confused.

" I've always known am attracted to men because I have never found myself desiring a girl all my life , I would look at a man and wish to kiss him and hold him in my arms but I have met many beautiful girls, even others throwing themselves at me but I never felt like I wanted to do any of those things to them . When I realized my feelings for you ; trying to see you every single day and follow you around the palace even before Arthur asked me to do so , that's when I started thinking that there must be something about you , you must be a boy for me to have those feelings for you , that day when you ran away with the prince I saw you but I let you go because your happiness is what matters, and besides you being kept in that dungeon really hurt me like I was the one there . I also want to confess and apologize because I was the one who reported that Michael and you were close , I just wanted you to come back. I had secrete searches for you but I never found you."

Really now?! Is my life ever going to be a normal one ?! I guess I was cursed ! How on earth could Jeremy be in love with me ?! He is Arthur's right hand man for heavens sake , if Arthur ever find out this he will never spare him !
