Your POV

Harry and I walked hand in hand back to the party, I could see the party begin to crowd around the dinning room. That must have meant that dinner was ready, I couldn't wait to eat. I was starving. Harry tugged on my hand bringing me to his side and holding me close. I couldn't help my wondering eyes looking for her, I had no clue as to what she looked like but I was going to try and find her. I plastered on a fake smile when I spotted my parents and Harry's as well. Harry led me over to the seats that were reserved for us, I smiled at Harry as he pulled out my seat for me. Harry sat in the middle of his father and I, as we got comfortable for dinner.

"Y/m sweetie, are you ok? You look ill?", Anne questioned me holding my arm.

"I'm fine your highness, I'm just a tad hungry", I smiled at Anne politely.

"You can refer to me as Anne darling. You don't have to be so proper with me", Anne winked at me.

"I remember when I used to have that privilege, I kind of miss it", a voice caused me to snap my head towards the person.

I saw her standing there and I already knew who she was. With her golden blonde hair and her crystal blue eyes, no wonder why Harry was betrothed to her. She was gorgeous. The more I looked at her, the more self-conscious I became. Was I going to enough for him.

"Oh Jasmine. Sweetheart, what are you doing here? It's good to see you dear, how have you been?", Anne forced a smile.

"I've been invited every year since Harry and I went our separate ways. I didn't get mine this time, I figured the messenger lost it", Jasmine shrugged taking a seat across from me.

"I don't believe we've met, I'm Y/n. You are?", I asked sticking my hand out for her to shake.

"I'm Jasmine, this ones ex lover and almost queen", she shook my hand nodding at Harry.

"Like I said, I'm Y/n. This ones here new lover and new betrothed and soon to be queen", I smiled at her.

The sly grin she had on her face fell. I hadn't meant to be rude to her, but the way she had talked about Harry and how she had him first really bothered me. I gave her one last glance before I looked to the side where Harry sat. He gave me the same sky grin he usually gave me when he was being a smart ass. I could feel him place a hand on my thigh signaling that he was proud of me and also that he wanted me to calm down. I took a deep breath and grabbed my glass chalice taking a big gulp of the wine they set out.

"When did this happen Anne", she never even glance at me as she asked about Harry and I's arrangement.

"I'm sorry Jasmine, I'm not discussing that with you. You are no longer in this loop, what king Robin and I do has nothing to do with you", Anne scolding Jasmine as our first course was served.

"But I.....", Jasmine argued.

"No Jasmine! Please. Whatever what happened between you and Harry is in the past. We've chosen a future queen and now it's time to move on", Anne said her last words before dinner continued.

I could feel her eyes on me the entire time dinner was taken place. I had tried to carry on conversations with the people that were attending dinner and Queen Anne. It was hard to do it though, her cold eyes watched me.

"I'll be right back baby girl", Harry kissed me and got up.

At that moment my head raced as I watched Jasmine smirk and get up from her seat and follow after Harry. I hope Harry wouldn't fall into her trap.

Harry's POV

After I had gotten done using the restroom I walked out to head back to dinner. Right as I was about to walk back to dinners I had gotten stopped, as I focused on the person that stopped me I realized that it was Jasmine. I gulped as she played with her low cut bodess trying to lure me in as she always did. This time though I resisted, I knew whatever tricks she had up her sleeve were going to benefit her more than I.

"What do you want", I asked annoyed.

"Is it true? Are you really going to marry her?", Jasmine asked as we stood there in the hallway.

"I am", I said confidently.

"Why her? That could have been us. We could have ruled this kingdom together.
We could have been great", Jasmine cupped my face and brought her body closer to mine.

"Nope. You see, that doesn't work anymore on me. You can't trick me anymore", I grasped her hands from my fave and removed them.

"But why Harry? Remember all the fun we used to have? We could pick up on that again", she dipped her fingers in the open part of my shirt.

"Because I love her", I stated once again taking her hands off of me.

"You what?!", she said lowly and through gritted teeth.

"I love her and there is nothing you can do about it. She is the one I want and she is the one I want as my queen", I said taking a step away from her.

"But Harry, I love you", her eyes became wet at my confession.

"I'm sorry Jasmine, what we had was great but I've moved on from that faze in my life. Y/n is my future", I took one last look at her and walked past her and back to our table.

I watched as she laughed with my parents, the genuine smile on her face made my heart flutter. I knew I had made the right decision when it came to choosing Y/n instead of Jasmine. I walked to the table where my parents and futures wife was, I loved her and even if she didn't love me back I didn't care. Her beautiful eyes looked up into my own making my knees week.

"Everything ok love", she asked.

Once again my heart flutters at the pet name she had given me just now.

"I'm fine baby girl, just a wench run in", I smirked at her as I slide down next to her.

"You're just in time for dessert," she smiled at me.

I smirked and leant down to whisper seductively in her ear.

"This dessert will do but I rather have you instead," I whispered causing her to gasp.

My plan was to make her fall in love with me as soon as possible.
