The King I Love

(In the maid's room)

Cameron went in Eleanor's room and apologized to her. Eleanor then asked what he was sorry for.

Cameron looked away. "The-The day that I kissed you..."

Eleanor laughed. "Didn't you apologize for that already? Why say sorry again?"

"I'm just afraid that we might end up like my brother and Olive."

"It's fine, your majesty. You've already apologized. That's enough for me."

"Thank you, but speaking of my brother, have you seen a blue gem lately?"

As soon as she heard the king's question, her heart skipped a beat. Why was he looking for it? What does he need it for? What happens if he figures out that it was in her heart?

Eleanor lied, "I haven't, your majesty."

"I see. Then thanks for your time," Cameron responded.

"Your majesty, why are you looking for the blue gem?"

"I'm just curious about it. I heard that it was somewhere in your room."

"How could the gem possibly be in my room, your majesty?"

"I might have been too worked up lately. I apologize for disturbing you. I'll be leaving now," Cameron said as he opened the door.

When the king left, Olivia went in and whispered, "Eleanor, I heard that!"

Eleanor started combing her hair. "What? You mean the blue gem?"

Olivia sighed, "How can he detect the blue gem's presence? We are really gonna be in great danger."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that we almost got caught?"

"Not only that. We almost got killed. If the king finds out that you have the gem, we're gonna be in big trouble."

"How could he even find it if it's in my heart?"

Olivia then assumed that the king could probably detect the gem's presence. Now that they know that the king is after the blue gem, they should be more cautious.

Eleanor sighed, "He wouldn't even have a clue where it is."

"Anything's possible," Olivia responded.

Meanwhile...

(At the Water kingdom)

The servant informed the queen they Antonio and Valentina has arrived at the Water kingdom. Mia then ordered to let them in.

When Antonio and Valentina went in the royal hall, Valentina looked at the prince standing beside Mia. "Mateo, is that you?"

Sebastian sighed, "I'm sorry, you've got the wrong person."

Antonio asked, "Don't you have a scar on your back?"

"Why do you ask? It has nothing to do with you."

"The scar proves you're the missing prince of the Earth kingdom."

"How did I get the scar then?"

"You got hurt because you protected mother," Valentina replied.

Sebastian then gave a dubious look and told them that he did remember that he got the scar because he protected someone, but he didn't remember having a mother.

"She's gone," Antonio said.

Valentina added, "She died a few months after you went missing."

The queen interrupted, "Sorry to cut of your conversation, but may I know what's happening?"

"Well as you can see, Sebastian here, is the long lost prince of the Earth kingdom," Antonio answered.

"Please stop interrupting us and leave now," said Mia.

Valentina then explained that they needed to find Mateo as soon as possible because that's her father's dying wish.

Sebastian clenched his fist. "I said I'm not Mateo!"

"You are. You have to believe us," said Antonio.

"I'm skeptical about it."

"This." Antonio brought out a picture.

Mia looked at the picture. "Sebastian, the baby looks like you."

"Your probably around twenty three now," Valentina stated.

Sebastian assumed, "You—"

"See? Still won't believe it? We've searched everywhere and you're the only one that fits the description," Antonio yelled.

"Sebastian, that is you," Mia said as tears started falling from her face.

The prince then went to Mia and told her that everything's is going to alright and it doesn't mean that he's the prince of the Earth kingdom that they won't be able to see each other again.

Valentina interrupted, "Excuse me Mateo, we need to leave now."

Sebastian responded, "Then leave."

"You're coming with us."

"I'm not."

"You are."

Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows. "Why should I?"

Antonio sighed, "Father wants to see you."

"I'm only going with you if you're not going to let me marry Lucy."

"We'll see about that."

Mia smiled. "Sebastian, just go with them. I'll be fine."

The prince then looked at her and kissed her forehead.

"Wait for me then, my love," Sebastian said.

"I didn't know you've developed feelings for the queen of the Water kingdom." Antonio laughed.

Mateo glared. "We've been together for a long time,"

"Enjoy your last moments together because you might not be able to see each other again."

"I'm only gonna see your father and that's it."

Valentina smiled. "Of course, Mateo."

"How many days does he have left?" the prince asked.

"Not much..."

"Mateo, please be kind to father. His body is deteriorating," Antonio begged.

"Why should I?" the prince asked.

Valentina then explained that although he abandoned him, he did it because he didn't what the whole world to know that Sebastian was a prince.

Sebastian rolled his eyes. "That's absurd."

Valentina responded, "Father loves you, Mateo."

"No, he doesn't!"

"Whatever. You do need to explain. I'll do as you wish, but don't expect me to do anything more than that," the prince responded.

Valentina smiled. "Thank you, Mateo."

"Stop calling me Mateo."

"I never knew you had such a vile temper."

"Whatever. Let's get going now. I don't want to waste any time," the prince said before he waved goodbye.
