Courting a Prince: Book 1 (Complete)

ch. 33: Jealousy

Today was going great. Everything was calm. No troubles at all. And then. She showed up.

A woman whose name I can't even remember with dark, Raven hair and a tribal tattoo on her shoulder. She rides a beast with a mole's sensitive nose and my lord is she one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. And I hate her.

I know that Zuko is not one to care about women at all, and being around a beauty like me all the time may have dulled his senses, but still. She had to show up and provoke him with her stupid hunting beast!

She's almost as pretty as me, if it wasn't for my disgusting scar I'd be at the top of the beauty world hands down.

Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with scars. In fact, they can be super cool. Getting a scar while protecting someone or something important to you, that's a small price and should be praised. Getting a scar in an accident? They happen sometimes, no big deal. But getting a scar because you failed, or because you were powerless? That can hurt someone mentally, and make scars painful. So fucking painful. A scar isn't a big deal, it's how someone gets it that's usually the real problem.

At least... It is for me... But I'm not important.

Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with me. June was only on our ship for a second. She only had his attention for maybe a minute. But it pisses me all the way the fuck off.

What's worse. Zuko went to seek her out. I know it was just to use her, but it still rubs me the wrong way. I don't even care that he left me behind, I just can't stand that he went to find that woman.

No, I'm not going to help him find the Avatar or anything, but still. He doesn't bother asking me at all.  He doesn't bother Kai either.

I don't know what this feeling is. But I hate it.

I fucking hate it.

A disgusting feeling. I wish it would go away.
