10- Jealousy or Hate? Love or Marriage

"Let me introduce my son, Prince Kenji, my second son, you've already met him tho."

Father spoke gesturing towards me while I sat quietly in my seat, next to Renshu, across my father and Drayce.

"Thank you for saving me your highness"

I bowed my head slightly, giving him a fake smile.

My father laughed and spoke again as the maids set our lunch as we waited.

"Do you have any way we can thank you in? How about marriage?"

My father chuckled while me and Renshu choked on air, the maids ran quickly and gave the both of us water.

We both smiled thanking them, I watched at how they blushed and gave a playful glance at my brother.

"He furrowed his eyebrows and looked back to our father and king Drayce who were looking at us, questioning our looks

and weird behavior.

"You were saying?"

Drayce said as he looked at my father.

"I heard that your sister, princess Emilia is coming back this year? She's the same age as Renshu.

So why not let them meet and get to know each other when she arrives?"

The king, also known as my father spoke as he raised his left eyebrow.

Renshu choked on his spit as I smiled evily on the inside and poured a cup of water for Renshu pretending to look

worried for him. I patted Renshu's back softly as he gulped down his water, I looked towards Drayce's direction

wondering what his thoughts are about this marriage only to find him glaring at me.

"Come on, what did I do now?" I thought as I glared back, he looked a taken by my glare but smirked making me confused but I didn't show it on my face. "Do you have a daughter? Won't it make more sense if I got married since I am the one who's supposed to be rewarded?"

Drayce spoke as he looked towards me, smirking.

"Too bad I don't have a daughter, but one of my most trusted generals has one, her name's Jade, she's even prettier than Kenji"

Father chuckled darkly.

I choked on my spit as soon as I heard her name,

"But father, I had my eyes on her first"

I said sternly pretending to be jealous.

"She seems like an interesting girl? Why not have a little match after lunch, if you win I'll give up on her, but if you lose I'll marry who I want from here."

King Drayce spoke with a playful tone as he raised an eyebrow challenging me.
