Chapter 68 (b)
Because of that, I started to rebel against him. I did all that would anger him and it wasn’t hard. It was too late before I realized that what I was doing was all in favor of Marco, my younger brother, who was just waiting for me to do all sorts of things so he could gain the favor of the council. I feel stupid that I let this happen to me. All those times I thought I was smart enough, but I was wrong. I was stupid to let my emotions take over me and made me lose my title.
“I am telling the truth, dad. She’s not Marco’s mate, she’s mine!!” I said angrily. That’s when I lost my faith in him. I knew at that very moment that I could never be a son to him. Rumors about me being an arrogant, unjust and bad prince spread all over the kingdom and I had no way to clear my name
“If you want to get the throne, you have to fight for it. I can’t just hand over the entire kingdom to someone as reckless as you. I will let you and Marco fight for the crown,” he said.
“I am your first born and the title of being a king is mine by rights!” I shouted, “You can’t just hand it over to him!”
“That’s why you will be fighting for it,” he replied, and went out. I was left in the middle of my room sulking about what had happened. Why do I have to fight for something that was rightfully mine? Being a king is my birthright. I am the first born and I have all the right to reign.
One of the palace warriors came to me and informed me that the battle between me and Marco will take place in two days. I was confused, I was not allowed to leave my room and after dad left that day, I felt like my body was weakening. A day before the battle, Marco came to me,
“Why do you have to fight me when you know that you won’t be able to win?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re weak now and there’s no way that the wolfsbane and silver that was added to your meal will not affect your body.” he answered, which made my eyes widen in disbelief. How could he do this to me? I don’t remember doing anything to him that might upset him. I loved him and treated him fairly. I tried to become the best brother anyone could wish for. Mom made me promise to take care of him because he is my younger brother and that’s what I did. So why, why did he have
to do that?
“How could you!” I asked angrily. That very moment, all I saw was red.
“I can be a better king than you. I already see the future and you will turn out to be a tyrant king, so I had to stop it. I didn’t want the entire kingdom to suffer because of you.”
“I
grew up being taught that we are the protector of every species. That we are the ones who should maintain the balance of the world so we will be able to live in peace and harmony. How can you say that I am going to become a tyrant king?”
“You won’t understand me now, but in time you will,” he said, then he smirked and came closer. “Now that no one is listening, let me tell you this. Yes, I took everything away from you. Your title and your mate. Oh, did you know how much she begged me when I fu** her without knowing that it was me and not you? Potions from witches are very accessible nowadays.”
That angered me. The reason why I lost my mate was because he put a spell on her. I can never forgive him. I jumped at him with the intent of killing him but a warrior came in and stopped me. “I am going to kill
you? For what you did to my mate!”
“His highness, please, you have a battle tomorrow,” the warrior said. I don’t care about that anymore He can have the crown, but not my mate I was in so much pain All along the reason for my restlessness and chest pain was because of him Because he banged my mate thinking it was me who was with her How could I let this happen to my mate, to the only woman who was fated to be with me forever?
