After leaving the Northern kingdom, I went to Western Kingdom. The sun was already going down, but I had to see Lauren. Hopefully she was in her tower.

" Wait here," I said as they helped me out." I have no idea how long his will take."
 
  Walking up to the door, I noticed light in Lauren's window. She had to be home. Normani was with Allyson. The guard let me in, knowing my status with the western.

" Y/N," King Mike grinned as he approached me." What brings you here? Lauren?"

" Yes, I need to speak with her," I did my best to smile. I was still hurt after Ally's words.

" She's in her tower," he directed. Mike stopped me in my tracks before I could finish my path." I have a question."

" Yes," I raised an eyebrow. He cleared his threat before answering.

" I want to make a trade with you," he started." Will you marry Lauren and let my son have Allyson? Lauren is perfect for you. Don't worry. My son will make sure she stays in her place. You're so powerful. You shouldn't have to be held back by a spoiled princess."

  I love Lauren. She was my best friend. We grew up together. I like Allyson though. A lot. The thought of her with anyone but me makes me angry. The image of someone beating her, yelling at her, or raping her makes me even more pissed off.

" No," I answered." Lauren and I want different things and want different people. Allyson was a gift from my father, who has been helping a lot lately. No one can have her. Especially, now she has my child."

" I respect that," Mike bowed his head.

   In a hurry, I rushed to Lauren's room. Outside her door was Camila, gazing outside the window. She was so lost in thought she didn't hear me approach her.

" What are you staring at," I questioned. Her head snapped towards me. Her cheeks became a dull red.

" I-Uhm-" she stuttered,frightened. This made me laugh.

" Y/N," Lauren warned, leaning against the doorway." Leave her alone for the thousandth time."

" You're here!" I frowned. Her eyebrows raised in confusion." It is about Allyson."

" Come in," she said in a worry tone. Camila remained outside. I could see her looking out the window again as the doors closed.

" What happened?" Lauren pulled me on her bed.

" I-I think I like Allyson," I confessed." I went over to check up on her. I really thought it was because I cared about our child. Then, she yelled at me saying so much shit. Now, I think I do like her in a horrible way."

" Nothing is wrong with loving her," Lauren giggled." Your parents loved each other."

" She was from the West like you,Lauren," I groaned." Allyson's from the Northern. I mistaken that feeling of adoration and love for irritation and hatred. I never felt like that with anyone. I just assumed it was beyond hatred."

" You love her." She grabbed my hands, making direct eye contact with me." You're in love with her,Y/N. Now that you admitted it, it's time you make up for all those times you starved her and beaten her."

" She doesn't love me back," I mumbled." Why even try?"

" Yes, she shockingly does," Lauren whined." Normani told me how she would always tell her to leave you for Troy even though he is our enemy since he treats her better. Ally didn't want to listen because she knew she could fix you to become more human. You have ever power to stop the cruelty in your kingdom."

" Thanks,Lauren," I kissed her cheek." I love you."

" I love you too," she smiled.

  I didn't run into anyone on my way out. I was internally glad. There's no way I was in the mood for another conversation with someone. I just wanted to go back to the castle, which was what I did.

When I arrived, everyone was working still. The were getting ready for the arrival of the baby. Allyson had a month before she would give birth. When she did, the whole entire island was invited. Each monarch of every king is in the Island of Virtue would give a gift to the baby at the christening.

" It is late," I informed the outside workers." Go back home. There's a storm heading this way."

" The tulips haven't even be-"

" I suggest you go before I change my mind," I threatened. The gardeners cleaned up their area and locked the plants away so they could head home.

   The entry of our castle was here or thrones sat. It was where the christening would taken place since the room was big enough for a lot of people. It was spotless. The gold and silver gleamed in the light.

" Y/N?" A shakened voice called.

     Searching at the top of the stairs, I saw Allyson walking down in her night gown that showed her baby bump. Her hand rested on her stomach as she made her way towards me. I came closer to her so she wouldn't have to walk far.

" I didn't mean-" she started to apologizes.

    My lips attaching to hers cut her off. My hand rested on her cheek that was bruised from my punch. She winced when I stroke it,delicately.

" You meant every single word you said," I pulled away." You were right. I do love you. I love you so much. That hasn't happened to me before, yet with you it is happening. I'm happy to raise this baby with you even though I hurt you when I did."

  Her eyes started to tear up. It made me confused. Was she happy? Was she sad?

" I wish you didn't mistaken love with irritation," she cried." I hate it when you hurt me because you made me look like dumb loving you and believing in you."

" I'll never make you look dumb again," I pulled her closer to me." I promise."
