CHOICE

"Father I request for her. No I will go and see her. You can start the preparations from today." Carlo said and left.

He didn't want to believe his father about all this magic awaken stuff. But it's not a joke. How come he didn't know all about this. Well he personally think Jonatisy doesn't know about all this either. He feels bad for Jonatisy too though.

But isn't he a shady person. He doesn't want to agree he might be lusting over the princess of Shensiy, and to seem it's very crucial on their marriage. He doesn't bother at all to try and object the fact of him abandoning Jonatisy. After all she didn't like him in first place, but he made her fall in love with him. And now he just leaving her.

He went straight to Aropha room, and knocked and opened. He met Aropha on the bed, sitting down clutching her knees to her chest with her head lowered.

"Who are you." Aropha said she didn't even look up.

"I'm the prince."

"Prince Carlo right. Why are you here."

"Where getting engaged in a weeks time. Just wanted to let you know."

"Why."

Carlo couldn't say anything. Why why is he even getting married. Ohhh the magic stuff. Can he really tell her that. No he can't.

"Well its because your now under Shanlolin."

"And what if I say I am not ready for marriage."

"You can't."

"Because I'm a slave."

"If you put it that way. But yes."

Aropha then looked up at Carlo and said;

"Then tell me, why did you leave every other person and choose me."

"Because that's what you requested."

"That's not the right answer."

"Its because your special."

"Do you really mean it."

"Yes you don't have to worry." Carlo said as he started to walk towards her.

"I know you don't like it here. Especially being at the level of a slave, but." Carlo said and sat down next to her. held her hand.

"I can't grantee the reason why your getting married to me. Or if we will even end up getting married. But i promise you I will be the best person, you can ever bond with."

And Aropha just nodded. Maybe his not so bad after all.

"Now you rest dear." Carlo said after holding her hand. He stood up and left.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Jonatisy with the most irritated look.

"Seriously. Her room." Jonatisy said.

Carlo just closed the door behind him and said;

"What are you doing here."

"I came to understand why..." She then looked at him up and down and added.

"I think you have moved on so quickly. You went to visit her. You couldn't even request for her."

Apparently, in their tradition a king or a prince, most request for any body even his wife or fiancée, if they needed to see them. It just out of pride actually for king to go meet someone if its not a another king. But it's now a tradition.

If somebody needed to see the king for any reason. if the king requested or not. They most go and not the king to come.

And Jonatisy was boiling. He went to go and visit her. And Aropha was clearly not sick, so that wouldn't be an exception.

"It's not like that Jonatisy."

"Its like how Carlo. Its like how. Cause I really want know."

"Ahhh." Carlo, stammered and did like as if he had something to say. but in reality he had absolutely had nothing. And Jonasity, caught him off by saying;

You know what Carlo, I don't want to hear, it. Its pretty clear what's is going on, the answer is pretty clear. But just why why you decided turn this way and marry her for absolutely no reason."

"No there is a reason."

"Then what is it."

Carlo just realized. He couldn't tell her the reason, it will break her heart.

Isn't she already heart broken. But she would never believe me. She would think I'm crazy. I already think I'm crazy. I blame father. But still It sound's ridiculous. Magic. Pft. That some crazy myth." That's was his major thoughts. But another side of him wanted to think less.

Deep down he still loved Jonasity, after all he fell in love with her. He was the one that made advances, not she. He just wanted to tell her everything, Including the part that he was attracted to her and Aropha. Again. For absolutely, no reason. While he was saying all this with his head resting on her laps. But he couldn't. He just couldn't risk it. His father didn't really specify, but he doesn't think he should tell any one. But he really wanted to tell her, at least to get that look off her face, so he just wrapped it up by saying;

"No no. There is absolutely no reason. I just fell out of love for you and saw this cute girl and fell in love. After all she is my slave what do you expect. I'm sorry Jonasity, I'm sorry for the way things turned out. But the times, we shared are beautiful. And I'll will never forget them. But do well to come for the wedding It will be a honour."

"Why are you doing this to me. Why are you doing this Carlo. But ok then. I'll do well to be there. In my best dress."

Jonasity, said and left. And the question kept on popping in Carlo's head. "Why was he even doing this. He didn't end up telling Jonasity anything. But why' why was he really doing it. For some magic awaken stuff, that he can't even grantee true. Why.

The expression on her face he would never forget for a lifetime. How he broke her heart, into total pieces. Someone once told him, that he was a playboy. Well that is clear now. Ohh wait Jonasity told him that. Isn't that ironic. Well he is prince soon to be king. He had no choice. He hopes Jonasity, finds it in her heart to forgive him. Is this even Aropha's fault. Well he can't blame her, he won't.

She dosen't even know about it. She dosen't want to even marry him. Well what will you call this kind of love. He loves both Jonasity, and Aropha, breaking one heart, for the other that doesn't love him. When he made his first love fall in love with him. He is truly a shady, play boy, that he thought he hated. But now is one.
