Vikk's POV
I pull my bag higher on my shoulder. My leather clothing shifting with it.
The prince, Lachlan Power, had sent me a letter by dove, telling me to meet him at the castle. I slowly make my way to his room, seeing it empty.
I hide behind the pillar when i heard footsteps. I circle around the pillar when they got closer. I peaked around it to be met by the back of the stunning prince Lachlan.
Suddenly, a hand covers my mouth and I'm pulled out of the room. I could still taste the metal from the glove of the solider.
"What were you thinking?" The king said. I was held tightly by the solider behind me as the king paced back and forth in front of me. "He wanted me here" I said.
"He doesn't know what he's thinking!" He yelled. "He's the only one in his god awful place who knows what they are doing" I contradict.
"First you poison his heart, and now you want to break up his marriage?" He questioned. "His forced marriage" I corrected.
"I don't care. He needs to get married to her!" He said. "Yeah yeah. Your needs before his" I sassed. "You need to leave him alone" He said.
"I'm here and he doesn't know I am. He never will." I sighed. "Oh no. He will. Because you're going to go down there to his room and say you got the note. But you don't love him." He said, getting close.
"And if i don't? You'll kill me, Yeah?" I kept cool. "No. I'll kill him." He said. My eyes went wide.
"If i kill you, it will make him love you even more." He continued. I sighed, looking down. I knew i had to, but i didn't want to.
The solider finally let me go and see the prince. I walk down the halls slowly, knowing this would be the last time I'd be here. I enter the princes room quietly, seeing him packing.
He was getting married in 2 days, so he'd have to move. I shut the door, making a loud thump. He looked over, smile growing on his face.
"You came!" Lachlan smile, picking me up and giving me a huge hug. He let me down and as he was about to kiss me, I pushed him back.
"Did i do something wrong?" He asked, worry filling his eyes. "I got your letter, but I didn't come here so we could be together." I lied, stepping back.
"I don't get what you mean" Lachlan said. "I don't love you Lachlan." I say. He stands there still and a tear runs down his face.
"I'm sorry." I say, pushing past him. Tears rush down my face as I'm past him.
Every part of me wanted to turn around and tell him everything was a lie, but i just couldn't. I didn't want to risk his life.
Not after long, the king trapped me in a cell.
I followed the kings orders, yet still got left with a broken heart.
