QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 40

Jason was dressed in a tailor-made suit for the party. The King and queen of Xeris had arrived in Aphidia to witness the engagement between him and Sashina.

He had made a promise to the crown prince that no matter what happened, he would get the engagement called off. The two of them were in a good place and didn’t want to lose that.

The choice was simple. It was hardly a choice between Davion and Sashina. Love was more important than all else and at the moment that love went by the name Davion.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror seeming satisfied with the look. He looked good enough to catch the prince’s eyes and keep them on him the whole night.

The last thing he would want is to have to fight for his attention with all the ladies and gents at the party. Everything needed to go well and hopefully before the night is over the crown prince would have confessed his feelings.

“Smiling too much will give people the impression that you are a mad man,” his butler pointed out.

Jason frowned. Ever since the man had been freed from his debts he went back to being his cold heartless self, he said what he wanted and did as he pleased.

It was annoying but he had gotten used to it. “I am happy,” he let out.

“I once heard of a man who died from laughing too much. At this rate you might join his legacy,” the butler noted.

Jason’s smile dropped, the butler was got his way. He couldn’t continue to be happy with the man breathing down his neck not to be.

The thoughts of the crown prince constantly running in his mind made him as light as a feather. He couldn’t smile on the outside but his heart was filled with joy and happiness.

He didn’t know about happy endings but this was his first step towards happiness and he wasn’t going to waste it. He had gone over the things that he needs to say to his father the king in order to get the wedding called off.

It would require him to badmouth Sashina a little but all was fair in love and war. And not only was he in love but at war to get the love of his life by his side.

For him, he was prepared to cross any ocean and move any mountain if it meant getting accepted by the crown prince. Not to mention the goosebumps he got from thinking about Davion professing his love to him.

It would be the best thing ever. To hear Davion’s sweet voice whisper all the words he yearns to hear. It was something to look forward to and he was more than ready to face everything for that confession.

“Will you sit in front of the mirror the whole day?” His butler questioned. “How will you catch the crown prince if you dont go in front of him?”

He asked marching towards the door. Jason turned his attention to the retreating man in shock. He hadn’t told anyone about what was going on between him and Davion.

How the butler came to know about it surprised him. He shook his head and pushed the matter to the back of his head. He had more important things to worry about than what his butler knows and what he doesn’t.

He stood from the dressing table happy with how he looked. He moved to the door to go and meet his novel parents. They weren’t his real parents since he wasn’t the real Nedryn but as long as he had the prince’s body, he had to own what came with it.

“Hey, sexy,” a sweet seductive voice let out. Chills ran down his spine.

“Davy,” he said in shock. They had just said their goodbyes not too long ago and he left to go and get ready but from the looks of things he didn’t seem ready at all. “What will the king say when he finds out the crown prince wonders the halls in a bathrobe?” He questioned.

“He would hit the crown prince with his shoe, why?” Davion asked striding closer to him. He encircled his hands around Jason’s neck and pulled him closer.

“What are you doing?” Jason inquired nervously at the crown prince’s bold move. They were in public and anyone could easily see them. It wasn’t a good thing for them to be spotted in that state by anyone.

“Just making sure you dont forget what you have to do tonight,” he let out unbothered by Jason’s nervousness. “You have to call off this engagement at the earliest,” he ordered.

Jason smiled, the possessive side of the prince was a big turn-on. It was weird how he liked having him act like he was his. And after he gets rid of his engagement to Sashina then he would truly then belong to him.

“As you wish,” Jason replied. “Now go and get ready or you will miss everything,” he pushed.

Davion remained firm unmoving even with Jason’s attempts to push him off. “Give me a kiss and then I will go,” he requested.

“No,” Jason replied scared. The fact remained that they both were princes and that came with a handbook on what they could or could not do. It was just the way things were and kissing another man in public was sure to be on top of that list.

It could cost them so much. They were just getting to this perfect place and he couldn’t get a mistake to ruin everything for them.

“What? You won’t kiss me?”

Jason swallowed hard. The crown prince looked at him with eyes that said,’ if you dont kiss me, you will be sorry ‘.

“No..t..that is not it. It’s just that it isn’t the time or the place,” he let out.

“I see,” Davion stated.. “I’ll wait until your name is not linked to that woman to get my kiss then,” he added.
