QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 96
Davy set the breakfast so that they could all eat as the family that they were. He and Jason had worked on cooking the food since Winrus had disappeared on them.
Once the food was ready, Winrus, Amaru, and Elayne walked into the campsite together to join them. Amberly and Sashina we’re the happiest to see Elayne and Amaru coming around together.
It felt like a win against Freya. And their smirks and knowing looks they flashed to the girl told Freya everything that she needed to know about what they were thinking without having to hear them say it.
“The morning has started on a good note. If we are lucky we might get to end it well too,” Sashina said looking at Jason.
“I couldn’t agree more,” Elayne spoke out taking a seat away from Freya and Amaru.
Davidson dished out some food to his plate refusing to entertain whatever evil the three women were plotting. An author trapped in his book, standing in the middle of all the villains of his creation.
There was nothing more horrifying than that. Since he designed the villains, he knew the level of darkness that they were willing to talk into to try and get what they want.
Since villains never have a happy ending, their chapters never end since they never get their tasks done. It was an endless circle of obsessions that only grew deeper with time making each one of them more and more dangerous with every failed attempt.
Because in their minds they believe that they have a chance of winning when their destiny was decided from the start.
The breakfast was moving on quite well. So far no one had attacked anyone either with fists or insulting words.
They all tried to mind their business, all with plans on how to spend that camping trip. Davy wanted some peace to think. To plan carefully how he was supposed to get the epic love story and get out of the book.
Jason had to find a way to romance the prince and get his happy ending. His love was on the line, he needed all of him to think of a solution to get the author to agree to give him a chance and marry him.
Amaru had a lot on his mind concerning the the matter with the Winrus and Freya. He didn’t like to stand between two people. Or have the power to decide who gets to be with him in the end.
In his opinion, he believed that both of them deserves to be loved. Since their hearts were capable of feeling that way for him. But there was no denying that for one to be happy the other had to we heart broken.
As painful as it sounded. It was the harsh reality of the world. To keep the balance of nature, for one to get another must lose. For one to live another must die, and hence in order to give one of the two love you would have to break another’s heart.
He didn’t take pride in the position that he was put in. It worried him so much he didn’t even touch his food.
Sashina on the other hand was busy coming up with a plan. A way to get her prince charming and get rid of the competition.
She was formulating a plan to get to rid of the crown prince from Jason’s life once and for all. She was certain that once the crown Prince was out of the way, he would get out of Jason’s mind and she would be free to slip in and take his place.
After all all was fair in love and war. Whether or not she killed someone to get love was a matter she would have to worry about later in the future.
To her side, Amberly brushed her hand over her stomach. The crown prince’s child have been planted in her stomach. It was was her golden key to getting Davion to be hers.
She believed that she could manipulative the prince to take her side and embrace her love by using the baby. He wanted an heir which she was ready to give but in return she wanted him.
But he also was formulating a plan B. In case the baby doesn’t work then it was decided in her mind but Jason had to go.
Accident happen, especially when someone was in the forest. A prince for that matter who could be attacked or harmed accidentally buy a wild animal or rogue bandits.
It didn’t matter what excuse you would have to give. The most important task was insuring that at the end of the day she had the crown prince.
If she couldn’t have him then no one else would.
Freya was getting worried. She had been sent to kill Jason but after spending a day in the palace. She had grown to be friends with him, that didn’t change the fact that someone badly wanted him dead.
She was helpless on how to warn him. Because if she tried, she would have to admit that she was also an assassin sent to kill him. That would make her lose a friend and possibly the love of her life.
She liked Amaru so much. It was that attraction of the soulmate bond that pulled had to him. But deep in her heart she wanted to stay with him.
He was afraid of light in her dark world. He looked at her not judging her what embracing who she was without asking any questions. Not many people would do that for her, the reality of the world was simple.
Everyone was always pushing to know everything about someone else. Filled with endless curiosity, no one truly accepted anyone without a story.
While some stories can be acceptable, others are considered to be abominations in society. Especially a girl with her past. She had no family and was raised as a killer, trains to do other peoples dirty jobs as a way of putting a meal on her table.
It wasn’t a decent way of life. But that was her life, it would not change who she was born into or the things that she had done to survive. No one ever cares about what pushes a survivor to do with they do, they only look at the deed and judge.
So it mattered to her, to have the one person who is never cared where she came from not hate her. Even if it is just for a while, she wanted to know what it feels like to be like other normal ladies and experience love and Acceptance.
Such a deal was too good to be true for someone like her. But it was a chance for her to grow. To learn to be compassionate and perhaps change from the ways that the world had trained to be.
But with Elayne in the way. She felt threatened, as so she might lose Amaru to her. It made her bitter inside.
She could not even bring herself to thinking what you was going to do about Davy. She was born and trained to serve him. Yet, she was more concerned about us soulmate than her master.
Elayne stared at Freya. She liked to see them worried look on the girl’s face. It was a perfect way to start her day even though she was far from getting what you wanted.
She could feel it, something in Amaru was different. It wasn’t just how Freya affected him. She had this gut feeling that there was another reason why Amaru was so lost in his thoughts.
‘No matter what I have to do. I promise you that you won’t go back to Aphidia alive,’ she vowed in her thoughts.
Everything was so clear to her. In order for her to get the man that she loves, Freya will have to die. Without her around, she had confidence that she could get the ice prince to love her.
She believed that with Freya out of the way then it would only be her that Amaru will have to look at. And when she is in his sight, you will have no choice but to fall in love with her. Then she will have her long deserved and awaited happy ending.
While everyone else was thinking about the love life. Winrus was busy being worried over how having the feelings of love in his heart was going to ruin his life. He was a slave as such he was bound to the Prince for the rest of his life.
There was no space for love in his life. As it was the law in Aphidia, slaves were not allowed to have love life. It would shift the loyalty, because when it came to a matter of choosing between the one they love and their master. The hesitation in itself might cost them masters life.
To avoid such a scenario. The King put a law for forbid slave from falling in love.. And a slave who dares to defy such a law will die.
