QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 98

Prince Amaru replayed the moments in his mind that he had spent with Winrus. When he was with the man conversation was easy. They got along quite well and teased here and there but his heart didn’t feel anything more than that for him.

After thinking about it for so long he realized that he only cared for him as a friend and nothing more than that. He had been waiting for something new that would make his heart skip a beat and that was Freya.

Now that he had found what he wanted, he didn’t want to let her go. He hoped that she would stay a little longer with him so that they could get to know each other better.

She was the one that his heart was calling to. He wanted to be fair and gave it a proper thought but no matter how hard he thought about it, he found that he was willing to cross the seven seas if it was what it took to get closer to Freya.

He would do the same for Winrus because they were friends. Since he had figured out how he felt, he didn’t wish to keep any of them waiting.

Now he could stop avoiding Freya and tell her the truth. He stepped outside of his tent. Before seeing Freya he decided it best to break the news to Winrus. The man needed to hear it from him where his heart lies before he asks Freya out.

He strolled towards the crown prince’s tent. It was late and during such times the man preferred to take a nap with Winrus reading a book to him. That was why he decided to check the crown prince’s tent for the man.

When he arrived there, he caught Winrus in Davy’s arms. Davy was rubbing his hair while the make cried to him. Amaru halted.

“It’s alright, I have you,” Davy comforted him.

Winrus held onto him as though holding on for his life. He let his tears flow down his face.

It was heartbreaking to love someone that he could never have. Whether or not Amaru accepted him or not, there was no way for him to be happy. Every choice held nothing but pain and suffering for him.

He was born into who he was and that meant that he didn’t have the right to be happy or find love. And that fact was tearing him apart. It wasn’t fair.

His fate had never troubled him much until the thoughts of the ice prince started running through his mind. There he was, with his heart racing chasing a path that wasn’t written for him and all he could do is cry over it.

There were no words that could explain what he was feeling. One moment while thinking that Amaru might say yes, he found himself on top of the stars with all of him coming alive but the next the reality would hit.

He would remember that the man was interested only in women and already had eyes for someone and his heart would shatter into a million pieces.

He couldn’t follow his heart. His mind was a mess, he couldn’t even think properly and had his mind racing over his predicament from dawn.

“You don’t have to be strong alone. I will hold your hand through this,” Davy said to him.

The man could understand the situation that Winrus was in. He had floated on the same boat when Jason broke his heart. He was stuck on what to do. He couldn’t go back or move forward. The confusion and heartache were unbearable especially since he had no one to hold his hand.

He couldn’t see someone else go through that pain. He blamed Zillon for Winrus’s pain. The man was responsible for introducing Freya into the picture and making her Amaru’s love interest.

Amaru and Winrus’s love story only had one rival, Elayne. But now thanks to that idiot friend of his Freya was threatening a beautiful ship that he had made.

He wouldn’t be shocked if Amaru picked Freya. He was team Amarus all the way, the two made a cute pair and would look together.

That is what he gets for giving someone else the power to interfere with his book. They change the plot and change cute ships by pairing two wrong people together.

Prince Amaru watched the scene and felt a pang in his heart. It hurt him to see how weak Winrus was crying out his heart. It pained him to know that he was the reason that the man was in pain.

Amaru couldn’t bring himself to walk inside and tell him his decision. It would shatter him more and break him further than he already was and that was the last thing on his mind for the male.

He took a step back and stepped on a dry that broke with a cracking sound.

Winrus lifted his head to look at the entrance. His teary eyes met with Amaru’s eyes and paused. Right before his eyes was the reason for the conflict inside of him.

The man responsible for the sleepless nights he had since that night that his heart skipped a beat for the first time. The person is liable for making his heart desire what his destiny didn’t have in store for him.

Winrus stood from the ground and stepped away from the crown prince and rushed out of the tent. He wiped his tears as he moved passed Amaru without looking back.

“What are you looking at? Go after him,” Davy spoke out to the dazed prince staring at him.

“Ah..yes,” Amaru let out and ran after Winrus. His mind was filled with a lot of thoughts running through his mind.

Trying to come up with the right words to say to Winrus over the situation they found themselves in. He was confused when he had gone to seek the man out. He was sure of what he wanted to say but at that moment, he didn’t know anymore what he would do.

He raced over to the direction that Winrus disappeared to. His feet froze when he saw Jason in the distance speaking to who looked like the crown prince.

He looked back to the camp where he had just left the prince. It made him wonder who the person was that was posing as the crown prince and why they were doing that.

Amaru pushed the thoughts to the back of his head and moved ahead to chase after Winrus. He could think about the fake crown prince later.

He dashed deeper into the forest leaving the clearing away. It was time for him to step up and fix the situation that he was in.

“I hope that you understand what I am saying,” he heard Elayne’s voice before the scene before him become clear. “Don’t you think it’s embarrassing to let those dirty eyes of yours wander off to the prince?” She questioned.

Prince Amaru watched the scene. His eyes moisten, no one had the right to speak like that to Winrus. At the end of the day that man was still human and had a heart, his status didn’t give anyone the right to insult his feelings.

“Don’t you think it’s undeserving that you are making him worry over irrelevant feelings?” She raised the question at Winrus.

The man clenched his hands around the hems of his clothes and kept his eyes to the ground.

“You should have done that from the start,” Elayne went on to say. “To keep your eyes from ever looking at the prince by facing down. But it’s too late for that isn’t it?” She questioned as she held his face in hers.

“Disgusting,” she said and pushed him.

Amaru’s eyes darkened. Ice started moving from the point where his feet were. In every direction of the forest, he was beyond mad.

“Who are you to decide who gets to look at me?” He roared making his presence known.

Elayne twirled her head in his direction. Her jaw dropped on seeing there, she shivered seeing how mad he was.

“I asked you a question. Who made you the judge of who gets to love me?” He barked at her. “And who gave the right to belittle Winrus?”

“He is a slave an..”

“I dare you to justify your wrong deed before me,” he said stepping forward. The temperature decreased. The whole area was freezing from the ice that his steps were creating.

The ice prince was too occupied with Elayne that he had not even realised that he was freezing everything.

“Here I thought that you were just being insecure with Freya but that isn’t the case is it, Elayne?” He asked to her. “The problem is not your insecurities. You have a heart made of stone and that’s the real truth,” he uttered making a stop in front of Winrus as his shield.

Elayne was shocked. She hugged herself from the cold.. Her face was full of disbelief over what she had heard.
