Chapter 55 - [Bonus ] I Won

Jason didn't have the words to express to the crown prince that it was never a game. He cared for Davion from the bottom of his heart, he was just not patient and that is how they ended up where they were. 

Hearing the confession that he had always wanted to hear from the man broke his heart. Recalking his words and how he threw the engagement ring at the prince made him freeze. 

Words and actions were irreversible, he let out what he wanted without minding if his words will hurt the man. And true to that, his words cut through the crown prince's mask forcing him to pour his heart out. 

It was unfortunate. Despite all the novels that he had read, he was terrible at love. Love was patient, kind and selfless. But he had neither of this qualities when it came to his own love. 

He didn't even take a second to think of his actions before he took them. Perhaps that was why he got sent into the book, he used to comment a lot on the authors novel on how the novel should go. The pace and the plot, he was just too impatient even as a reader. 

And now he was getting to learn the harsh reality. Love takes time, true that one can fall in love in a second but it takes year's of careful nurturing for that love to bloom. 

When love is rushed then only bad things happened. It turns into a tragic story. Just like his love life had become, he was rushing everything thinking of how things should go without considering the outcome of taking things too fast. 

He laid his head back on the bed, the crown prince of Aphidhia had cried because of him. Not just once but many times. He couldn't make the man smile abs had to go and give him reasons to cry. 

He didn't give him good memories that would last a life time but regret that he wished to forget. He closed his eyes, the weighted of the pained look in Davion's eyes was too much for him to bear. 

With his eyes closed he failed to notice Sashina open her eyes. The girl was all smiles, the little doubt that she had planted in Davion's mind worked wonders. 

The crown prince pushed at Jason to prove that he was telling the truth which irritated him to call off their engagement by giving the ring back. 

'I promised you a heart break and I delivered,' she thought. 

She was awake the whole time, she only pretended to have fallen asleep in Jason's arms when she heard him coming into the room. She then remained still until the drama ended. 

Luck was on her side and she couldn't believe it, she didn't seem to need the old dragon anymore since the thing that she wanted had come true. 

She had ruined the love between Davion and Jason. She had shattered the trust between them and created an ocean between them, there was no way that they would ever find a way back to each other again. 

She looked beside her at Jason. Seeing him sleeping gave her some comfort, it meant that he wasn't too attached to Davion and she could easily get him to forget the crown prince. 

Unknown to her was the fact that deep down Jason was drowning in despair. He had screwed all his chances, instead of handling the matter as delicate as he should gave, he overeacted and ruined everything. 

He didn't even feel the need to ask the author for help. He had ruined everything by himself and perhaps deserved to get punished. 

He realised that he started making mistakes since day one. By trying to come between Davion and Sashina, he had cursed himself to a life of loneliness and pain. The two were fated to each other and they were to get married to each other. 

And because of him, the prince changed. He gave his heart to the wrong person and that was why nothing was going right. There was no villain in their love but they still couldn't be together. 

It was fate telling him that it was time to let go. It was the only explanation that he could think of. Of why everything he touched went wrong and created a rift between him and the crown prince. 

'Someday, I wish someone can love you the way you deserve,' he thought. 

Tears formed in his eyes and freely flowed down his eyes. It was hard to think such thoughts but he was toxic to the man, he was not of his world and didn't deserve to mess his life. 

What he should have done from the beginning is look for a way to go back home. At least he wouldn't get more chances to hurt the man, he would get to read about him and cheer him on from outside the novel. 

He would be his number one fan and spent all his earnings to get the author to give him a happy life with someone who deserved his love. 

"I will get back home," he uttered determined. 

For the crown prince's happiness, he would return home. He was sure that once he leaves the story then all would be well. The original prince Nedryn would take his body back and he would go back to fancying Sashina. 

Then the story line will go back to normal and the prince would forget that he ever existed. He curled up into a ball and hugged his legs, it was the right thing to do but the mare thought of the prince forgetting him hurt to even imagine. 

Life wouldn't be the same. He embraced himself, he tried to console himself by saying that it was the best thing for Davy but that just made it harder. Since every time he thought about about the prince's name the pain increased. 

Sashina was truly happy. Nedryn was thinking of returning to Xeris and she was going to be right there beside him as they leave together as a couple.

'I won.'
