QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 37

Jason followed the crown prince from the garden. There was so much that he wanted to say that right there on his lips.

With the crown prince actually talking to him he figured he should get it off his chest. He rushed behind the male who walked leisurely. With his back turned one wouldn’t even know that he was the prince.

He thoughts of what he should, arranging the words in order not to screw up. He had one shot of making things right with his crown prince.

He was too caught up in his thought to realise how possessing he was getting when he thought of the crown prince. In every sentence he uttered of thought, it had stopped being the crown prince to his crown prince.

He got the courage and stopped his crown prince in his steps by grabbing hold of his hand. Davion flashed him a look that wasn’t surprised by his action.

“Say what you want to say quickly,” he uttered impatiently.

“I…i…well…i..”

“If you don’t have anything to say then stop following me,” Davion let out and removed his hand.

Jason looked down constructing the words in his mind. It didn’t matter how much he arranged everything, when faced with the crown prince all the words vanished.

“Say it,” the crown prince ordered.

Jason gulped, he wanted to say that he was sorry. To express how being away from him had been nothing but torture. The let him know of growing desire to talk to him about nothing at all. And just enjoy his company.

Thinking of what he wanted to say, his eyes widen with the realisation. He was not a fool, it took him long to figure it out but he finally did.

All the feelings he felt were the same ones that he used to feel about Sashina. Looking forward to the next time the author would post a chapter so that he could meet her again.

Crying everytime he read about the bad things she went through and feeling down when the author failed to update the novel for days since it meant not knowing how she was. Or being with her.

He had fallen in love with a character in the romance novel and after entering the novel he fell for the male lead. It was shocking to realise that he had fallen for the flietarious Prince of Aphidia.

Nothing could fill up the space that was in his heart after the crown prince had distanced himself from him. He didn’t know how it happened or when but he had fallen in love with a man.

He backed away from the crown prince. The truth hitting him like ice cold water. It made the hairs on his skin stand straight and chills ran down his spine.

Not only did he deviate from his original plan of getting Sashina but his heart was beating for a man. He didn’t know what to think or do about what he had discovered.

“I take it that you just wished to waste my time,” the crown prince spoke.

Jason’s heart skipped a beat hearing his voice. The reality was flashing right before his eyes and he was too surprised to speak.

They both looked at each other for a while failing to notice the figure approaching them all smiles. She was so happy and couldn’t wait to share the news of her joy with everyone.

Once she spotted Jason and the crown prince she rushed over to tell them the news first.

“I’m sorry for what I did,” Jason said to him.

Davion raised his brows at him. He was still holding the flowers that Jason gave him. He released a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak.

“I forgi….”

“Greetings to the crown prince,” He halted on hearing the annoying voice of the female he hated. Sashina bowed in greeting to show him her respects. She did the same with Jason and moved to stand next to Jason.

“I have been looking for you everywhere,” she said to Jason. Jason moved aside to not offend the crown prince by standing too close to her.

Sashina moved to cover the distance between them. She hooked her hand to his and flashed him her best smile. “Did you hear?” She asked him.

“Hear what?” Jason asked trying to get her hand from his body.

“Your father sent a letter to my house,” she said and got both Jason and Davion’s attention. “He expressed that you told him that you had fallen in love with me and wish to marry me,” she added.

Jason averted his gaze from her and looked at the crown prince. The male looked like he was about to swallow Jason whole.

Jason wanted to explain to him that he sent that letter the night of the first party. After seeing the crown prince’s effect on everyone at the party he felt threatened and wanted his father’s help to ensure that he didn’t lose Sashina.

He didn’t know that he would fall for the crown prince or regret acting rush about the matter.

“He proposed our alliance and my father accepted. We are to be engaged at tonights party with all our families present,” she let out in utter excitement. “It was to be a surprise but I couldn’t hold it in,” she added.

Daviom crushed the flowers in his hands and dropped them to the ground. When Jason said sorry, he was actually prepared to forgive him. He too couldn’t stand the distance between them.

Little did he know that the boy was playing games with him again. Giving him attention like he did the first day he arrived only for the witch beside.

He scolded himself for thinking that Jason had grown past his infatuation for the girl but seeing as he went ahead and got their engagement planned, he got his reply.

“Congratulations to you both,” he let out.

Jason looked at him with teary eyes. This is not how he wanted it to end, he didn’t want to marry Sashina at all, the person he wanted was the crown prince.

“May you both always be happy together,” he added and made a turn to leave. A tear trickled down his eye with his back turned to Jason.

‘You are dead to me Nedryn,’ he thought angrily and walked away.
