QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 41
Jason let out a sigh of relief seeing as the prince didn’t push for a kiss. Davion let him go and walked away in the direction of his room to get ready.
Jason wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked around to make sure that no one had witnessed them being together. When he didn’t catch anyone around, he rushed off to go and meet his father.
When he walked away, Sashina stepped out of the shadows. A vein about to pop in her head, she had seen and heard everything for herself without being told. It made her sick.
She couldn’t handle the truth that she had just seen. To her, the crown prince of Aphidia was using his charms to try and destroy her future. She knew for a fact that prince Nedryn loved her since he took the time to send her the proposal.
But now Davion was trying to pressure him to change his mind. It disgusted her, she had not expected to see the unattainable prince of Aphidia throw himself shamelessly at a man just to get his way. It was demeaning.
“I won’t let this happen,” she uttered. She looked at both the directions the princes disappeared to. She decided to go after the root of her problems.
She had landed herself a prince and no one was going to take that away from him. No matter who it was that stood in her way, she will ensure that not just the engagement but the wedding too takes place. That too right in Aphidia so that she could show Davion his loss and her victory.
She rushed to catch up with the prince. She had a lot she wanted to say to him over his behavior. “Davion,” she called out loud.
Davion’s smile dropped. He didn’t turn around to see who it was, he didn’t need to. The annoying voice was arched into his memory. He could recognize it in a crowd even if everyone was shouting at the same time.
What was worse was the fact that she dared to call him with his first name as though they were acquaintances or friends.
He stopped in his steps and waited for her, his hands folded into a fist, he dug into his palm with his nails to stop him from losing his cool with her and hurting her.
“I wanted to have a word with you,” she said after getting close to him.
“I am not in the mood to talk to you,” Davion expressed and stepped forward to leave. Sashina grabbed his hand and pushed him back from leaving.
Davion stumbled back, he shot a dark glare at the girl. Sashina glared back at him just as intently.
“I am still talking to you. How dare you try to walk away from me,” she barked.
The crown prince was in shock. He, Davion Drake on Blake more, was actually pushed and challenged by a nobody. His blood boiled to the brim, he threw out all the senses in his head that told him to ignore her.
She had looked for his trouble and he was going to serve her right there without any hesitation. “Have you lost your mind?” He asked her.
“I should be the one to ask you that prince. Have you lost your mind,” she fired back not backing down from the fight. “What were you thinking asking my fiancee to call off our engagement,” she inquired.
Davion was speechless, he didn’t know how she came to know about that. He wasn’t afraid of his actions and would gladly admit to them.
“What of it?” He asked getting angrier. Hearing her call Jason her fiancee made him mad.
“It’s sad, the crown prince of Aphidia. The most eligible bachelor in the kingdom is bent,” she said in a mocking tone.
“You..”
The prince raised his hand to hit her but she grabbed hold of his hand and laughed at him. “Why are you getting angry at the messenger?” She asked. He furrowed his eyebrows at what she meant. “These are Nedryn’s words, not mine,” she added and let go of his hand.
Davion’s hand fell, his eyes are wide open from shock at what she said. “So desperate for a kiss, you even had to beg. How pathetic,” she uttered.
‘He couldn’t say that about me,’ Davion sang in his mind over and over again.
“Aren’t you curious how I know all this?” She asked him.
“How?” Davion asked putting on a cold and indifferent face not to show her that her words affected him. Her words might pierce through his heart but he was not going to give her the satisfaction of seeing him hurt.
“He told me, he keeps me updated in all the games he plays with you,” she said.
Davion grabbed his shirt with the hand on his back and held it tightly. He looked at her with no emotion in his eyes when his heart was burning.
“How do you think I came to your room the other day. He told me to come and instructed me on what to when there,” she added.
She recalled how the crown prince had reacted to her presence. She had thought that it was because she went to his room but now everything made sense to her. He reacted out of jealousy and she was going to use that to drive distance between the two of them.
“What makes you think that I am playing a game with him?” He asked her. “Think about it, Nedryn is already in his father’s bad books. If he is caught with a man, he might just get disowned,” he added.
Sashina’s smile dropped. The possibility of the prince’s suggestion happening was true. Nedryn was not his father’s favorite everyone knew that it was no secret.
“You know, he planned to reveal your secret to everyone at tonight’s party,” she said to him. “Then you would lose your crown. Think about it, who would want a king who can not give them an heir since he can’t touch a woman,” she added.
Davion smirked. “You have met me, who in this kingdom do you think is strong enough to stand against me?” He asked her.
