Prince's Spell

Lost Powers

Ch-31

Wong sighed as he sat on his throne while Jin was reading the letter received from Austin, others reading along. "I can't believe this" Wong spoke in disbelief, "we were so close" he sighed again. Jin kept the letter, "father I think you shouldn't jump onto conclusions.. maybe this letter wasn't sent by the king himself? just maybe someone else sent it"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Wong snapped, his voice echoing in the room. "Who would have the audacity to use the king's seal just to play a joke?" He ran a hand over his temples, frustration creeping in. They flinched then Yoongi spoke, "father why don't you consider Jin hyung's words? We really shouldn't jump onto conclusions right now" Wong shot a sharp glance at Yoongi, irritation evident in his eyes. "What? You too? Are you both questioning my judgment now?" He leaned back in his throne, his gaze flickering between Yoongi and Jin.

"We don't mean that father but seeing your so far relationship, do you really think he will do that to you?" Jin said, concern evident in his voice. Wong huffed, his expression still stern. "You're too soft. You've always been like that, both of you." He paused, his gaze focusing on the letter in Jin's hands. "But you have a point. It seems unusual for Austin to go back on his word like this."

"I heard something" Jungkook said in a low tone, "while you both were fighting, I felt something fishy about his words" All eyes turned to Jungkook, a mix of curiosity and surprise on their faces. "What do you mean, dear?" Wong asked, his irritation replaced with intrigue. Jungkook came in front, "while you were saying that he betrayed you, he was saying the same thing that you sent him a letter. Did you send him something?" Wong's eyes widened; an expression of surprise etched on his face. He had been so consumed by anger that he hadn't even considered the possibility. "No, I hadn't sent him anything," he replied, a hint of doubt creeping into his voice.

"See, I know anyone can't use king's seal but it's not necessary that he was the one who sent it." Jin said, Namjoon pointed out, "did anyone sent you both letters to divide you two?" Everyone looked at Namjoon and then widened their eyes. A tense silence fell over the room as the princes considered Namjoon's words. Was it possible that they had been played? That someone had sent them letters to create discord and tension? The thought was both alarming and intriguing.

While in the Euphoria kingdom, Austin was still thinking about everything. Austin looked up as Amelia and Luna entered the room. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Oh, it's you two," he said, trying to keep his frustration in check. Amelia was still upset about what Austin said while Luna was also not feeling so good after he rejected her and Jimin's relationship. Amelia crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing at Austin. "You know, I still can't believe you said all those hurtful things," she said, her voice edged with anger. Luna remained quiet, her eyes downcast. She was still hurt by Austin's rejection.

Austin sighed, "look I am already shaken by everything happened, can we talk later?" Amelia's disbelief only grew. "Talk later? Are you serious? You just said some awful things, and now you want to talk later?!" she exclaimed, her voice rising. Luna looked up at Austin, her expression a mixture of hurt and surprise. This wasn't like him at all. "And what about Wong? He was just using me all along, I couldn't let his children get closer to you. And Amelia when did you became so serious about all this? You hated his son anyways" Austin said, they both looked at him.

Austin's words had an impact on them. Amelia tried to hold back the hurt, but it seeped through in her voice. "You're right, I don't care about his son. But it's not about him. It's about how you discarded me like I don't matter." Her voice trembled slightly. Luna, who had been quiet till now, spoke up, "And what about my relationship with Jimin? You suddenly decided to end it like it was nothing." The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence. Austin avoided eye contact with his daughters, feeling the weight of his words and decisions. The pain and disappointment etched on Amelia and Luna's faces only made him feel worse.
