Chapter 2

Jason's POV

''So this is it huh?'' Michel asked me while leaning against my door frame.

I did a long sigh. ''I guess that it sadly is. I can't believe that this is happening,'' I replied as I put on my shirt.

''But this doesn't have to happen Jason,'' she explained. ''You don't have to do this. You can marry me instead.''

If only my beloved Michel was right. If she was right, all of this drama wouldn't be happening. We would have been happy with each other. Have a family and rule this kingdom happily together. If only she was right.

"I will do anything, anything at all to marry you Michel. But I can't,'' I exhaled.

Her face immediately turned pale and her lips made a huge frown. Her brown eyes started to water and a salty tear rolled down her cheek.

''You - You don't love me anymore?'' she chocked.

I hurriedly walked over to her and hugged her tightly as sounds of sobs escaped her lips. I hate to see Michel cry. It breaks my heart into a million pieces and even worst, I can't do anything to comfort her.

''Of course I still love you Michel,'' I kissed her forehead. I will always love you. But you already know that the Royal Council and my parents made an agreement, that I must be betrothed to umm what's her name? Kel-Kelsey? And that has been the case for over 10 years."

"That is bull!" She cursed angrily. But why- why her? Out of all of the girls in the world. Why did they choose her? She is not even royalty or close in being one! My mother is a member of the Royal Council for crying out loud!"

"They chose her because my great great grandfather, the late King James Henry, promised Kelsey's great great grandmother, Veronica Dobrev that a girl from the family of her future third generation, will be royal one day. My father told me that King Jame's wife was dying from a deadly disease. She was puking blood, had a high fever and her kidney wasn't working strongly, it was weak. Veronica gave her a bitter herb that made her kidney stronger and a medicine that was black in colour which cured the disease. She was a professional nurse," I released my grip from around Michel's waist and looked into her eyes. " James loved his wife so much and was relieved that she wasn't going to die. He was filled with such enthusiasm that he blessed Veronica's third family generation with the gift of royalty."

"He should have just told her thank you and move on with his and his wife's life instead of making Veronica's family royal! Now he messed up my life!" Michel stomped her foot.

I opened my mouth to say something but a maid was standing at my opened door.

"How can I help you Jasmine?'' I asked her impatiently.

''Prince Jason, the Royal Court wants to see you,'' she bowed.

So it is time to be questioned by the Royal Court. But the questions will be useless. They all know that I don't follow the rules in this palace. I will just lie to them and do the opposite. I have my own way on how to run things.

''I am sorry that this is how things turned out to be Michel,'' I told her truthfully. But even though I will be married to someone else, you will be the first to be my mistress and as I said I will always love you."

She started crying again and I used my thumb to wipe her tears. If I stay in this room any longer, I will start to cry with her too. So I kissed her cheek and walked out of the door.

''We will be together for ever Jason!'' I heard her sobbed. Even if that means killing Kelsey Dobrev!'
