QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 42

“Nedryn,” Sashina replied.

Davion stared at her coldly. Nedryn wasn’t strong enough to stop him but he knew that she didn’t mean it in the sense of fighting.

“Interesting,” he let out. “I would like to stay and chat but I have places to be,” he excused himself.

“How about a challenge your highness,” Sashina stated stopping him. He looked ahead, he was getting on his last nerve with the girl. She was not just annoying but she irritated the life out of him.

Just that talk alone was enough to keep in bed for days. She was energy draining. “Let it out quickly, some of us have important things to do,” he said.

“Tonight, Nedryn and I will get engaged,” she said. He shot his gaze at her. Her confidence was astounding to him. He couldn’t point whether it was simply confidence or overconfidence but she made him nervous.

Matters of the heart were knew to him. He wanted to trust and believe in Jason’s promise that he would call off the engagement but he kept his kind open to the possibility that the man was playing games with him.

“And not just us, he himself will get you engaged to another tonight,” she challenged. Davion glared at her. He was coming close to ripping her tongue out, talking about her and Nedryn’s engagement was one thing that he could handle but his own. She was crossing all her lines.

“That will never happen,” he said to her sternly. He had no intentions of getting married and no one could force him to do what he didnt want to do.

“It will, Nedryn told me so himself. For him you will accept this proposal,” she uttered with a big smile on her face.

“I have never met a girl with a dirty heart like you,” Davion said to her and walked away.

Sashina angrily stared at Davion’s back. She didnt expect that the crown prince would dare such thing to her when he was the one with a problem.

“At least I understand the norm of things. Unlike you who only chases other cocks,” she yelled.

The crown prince stopped walking. ‘Mirror prince,’ he heard the whispers. All the mirrors in the corridors had his reflection in them.

He was upset. His heart was beating fast, never im his life had he been insulted as much as the girl did. She had crossed all her boundaries.

“You are in luck,” he said and walked away. He set everything behind his mind and went to his room.

Sashina wasn’t happy, she intended to break the crown prince and get him to back off. To make him understand that she was the one calling the shots but it didnt work. The man didnt seem that much affected by her words and that annoyed her.

She vowed to keep to her challenge and get everything that she wants.

The engagement party began. Guest from both kingdoms arrived at the palace to attend the festival. The palace was decorated from the gates. Every inch beautified for the occasion.

The purple flowers arranged in a spiral outside the palace awed the guests as they got off their respective means of transport. Golden lantern lit the way to enter the palace guiding the guests on where to go.

The ball room where the engagement was supposed to take place was set. Tables were arranged to hold four to five guests each. Beautiful arrangements were made as per Sashina’s request.

Purple being the theme of the party, all the decorations were in all different shades of purple. From the flowers, curtains, table cloths and the candles.

The dressing code was red and white. Chosen by Sashina herself, she had planned out everything to what role everyone would play in her special day.

She was getting engaged and to a prince for that matter, the matter was made a grand affair. Her father the duke had a lot of money to sponsor all the ideas that she had for her special day. Nothing was to luck.

The guests settled down in their seats. With their seats marked by name to prevent confusion among them. The ball room filled with more and more people as the time went by but the high table was still empty.

No one from either of the royal family had made it to the party yet. The maids in waiting tasked to attend to the guests served some snacks to them. To eat as they waited for the royal family to arrive.

The guests chatted amongst themselves, in wonder if the grand arrangements that had made in the room. Everything to the tiniest detail was done to perfection.

The trumpet sounded outside the door grabbing the attention of the guests. “All rise, to welcome the king of kings. The great ruler of Aphidia, the king,” the page announced.

The doors were opened, the king walked into the ballroom with his entourage, all the guests got up from their seats and bowed to the king.

Right behind him the prince’s of Aphidia walked into the room. They followed the king to their seats, Davion had asked the page not to announce him as he didnt want everyone to look at him.

With their heads bowed the guests had not noticed his arrival. He got to his seat and sat down right beside his father, he looked to his side anf frowned.

The seat right next to him had that annoying girl, ‘s name on it and there was nothing worse than to have to sit beside her for the rest of the night. Amaru arrived right then, he looked at the sitting arrangement, according to whoever made yhe arrangements, he should sit at the end.

He grabbed his chair and moved everyone else’s chair towards the end and settled down beside Davion. “Aren’t you glad that im your friend,” he let out.

“Aren’t you a bit too cocky,” Davion fired back feeling relieved that he didnt have to seat beside the devil dressed in women’s clothing.
