Chapter 46 - The Engagement (part Ten)

"Alright," the king spoke out and everyone went silent. "I can understand that but what is the need for crown prince Davion and prince Nedryn getting engaged," the king asked him.

Amaru slowly raised his icy gaze at the king. His icy look caused the people around to shiver, filled with anticipation the guests watched keenly not to miss a single thing.

"Your highness, can you not see how good they look together," he let out.

The crown looked back and forth from Davion to Jason. The two princes were both good-looking and if they were forgetting the norm of things, most of them found that they could ship for the two of them.

The King looked at his son and then at Jason. He was surprised that his son had not lost it yet. It told him one thing at last, that he wasn't forced to put the ring in the man's finger.

But opposite to his thoughts, Davion was forced to get engaged to Jason. Amaru had held his hand and made him put the ring on Jason's finger against his wishes. He didn't want to get attached to a traitor but his friend had other plans.

"They might look good together bu..."

"We are in love," Jason jumped at the chance and confessed in front of everyone.

Gasps came from the guests. It was a bold move, him coming out and admitting what he felt for the prince. Everyone was impressed except for the subject of his confession.

"Okay," the king said being rendered speechless. He came to attend one engagement but got the very shocking news that he was lost on how to proceed. "What do you have to say about this son?" He asked the prince.

Davion glanced at Jason and then to his father. "I don't...disagree with him," he uttered and glared at Amaru.

The male-only gave an innocent smile. He couldn't believe the nerve of the male to pinch him with icy cold fingers.

"You will thank me later," the man said.

"Well," the king of Xeris spoke up. He had heard everything that had happened. Frankly, he wouldn't say that he was displeased. It annoyed him that his son liked men but to see the man that he managed to bag made him proud.

No doubt that Davion was going to ascend the throne after his father and Xeris being in favor with the next king was not entirely a bad thing. It could benefit his kingdom, with Aphidia standing on top of the four lands.

It was good to have his hands on the power. He was going to suggest later in the night that the king consider getting his daughter and Davion married but his son had already done the job, he was satisfied.

"Since they are in love, I dont see why we should stand in their way. They have my blessings," the king said.

Davion's father was even more lost. He wanted his son to be happy but he had to think about his kingdom. If his son married a som then the throne would suffer without having an heir. He needed an heir to continue his rule when his son is no more.

"I guess I also give my blessing," the queen of Xeris let out.

Sashina was shocked over what was going on. It was supposed to be her day snf things were supposed to work out for her and not for the two men.

She couldn't stand to see the love they were receiving, all that she had done proved useless. She had lost both the crown prince of Aphidia and the prince of Xeris.

She moved forward to stop them and ruin their happiness but Amaru stood in front of her blocking her path. "You aren't going anywhere. Your job is to watch not interfere," he told to her.

Sashina gritted her teeth in irritation, Amaru was getting on her nerve, ruining all her plans and making her lose. She could only glare at the man with anger and hatred in her eyes.

She kept cursing at all of them in her mind. They deserved every single thing that she thought of them. But they had not heard the last of her, if she couldn't have them both of them, then they won't get to be happy.

She vowed to ruin everything for them and make their lives miserable. 'You have only got engaged, not married," she thought and remained calm.

"Alright, I will accept this union," the king let out. "But on one condition, along with this young man, the crown prince marries another woman to give him an heir," he announced.

Jason was so happy, no one had hated on them. Or threatened to dethrone the crown prince because of their love. He didn't know why he had trusted and believed everything that Sashina said.

Had he been honest from the start then they would have avoided the drama that was right before their eyes. They would have gad a simple engagement and celebrated their love.

"We have our parent's blessings to be one," he whispered to Davion.

Davion avoided his gaze, the male had broken his promise. It took Amaru to call off his engagement with Sashina and had the man not intervened then he would have been forced to watch him get engaged to Sashina.

"Thank you Amaru," he let out to his friend. He had one true friend who cared about him and what he liked. He knew that he could count on his friend, though his methods were questionable, they brought the desired outcome.

"Get me six beauties and we call it even," Amaru stated to him.

"The selection for the girl begins tomorrow," the king announced ending the ring ceremony. With everything that had happened, he didn't feel the need to continue with the other ceremonies and ordered the food for everyone to eat.

Amaru and Sashina walked back to their seat hand in hand while Davion and Jason followed behind them. Jason didn't need the genius to tell him that the prince was mad with him.

'I wonder why he is angry. Everything worked out so shouldn't he be happy?'
