Chapter 19 - Chapter 18: The Truth [Pt.2]

Prince Jake walks inside the the court. The King is there while The prince stood there beside him. The Princess kneeling.

"Your Majesty! I swear, That Intruder set me up—"

"She won't lie, She didn't set you up." Prince Jake said behind them.

Prince Ethan seems to heard something wrong? "Wait, he's a girl?"

"Yes my prince! She likes you but I know you love me, She's just jealous—" Prince jake cuts her off again.

"First of all, You are the one who keeps hurting her because you want my brother to be yours only." Prince Jake spats towards her.

The King watched them bickers the truth and the lies Princess Nami is saying in order to make the prince and the king believes her.

Something came in Prince Ethan's mind..

That time when he asked yumeko about her bruises but she said, he won't believe her even if she say it to him. He knows now that she likes him. Then the thought of when the time yumeko almost see his face but he stopped it.

Those popped out in his mind.

"My Prince! You believe in me right?" The princess asked while holding his hands.

But Prince Ethan didn't even hear what she said. "I don't know.."

The King stands up. Making the three of them face him.

"Now say, Prince Ethan. Do you wish to stay with the princess or abandon her. Yumeko will only get to see you during the discussion about what i have given you." The Princess holds her prince's hands tightly.

"We're not like this before that girl showed up, My prince." she said and his eyes went to her.

He can't decide, yes, he loved his princess. They love each other for so long but what his heart tells something different from what his brain told him.

Prince Jake holds his brother's shoulder. "Princess Nami is the bad person here, brother. She sentenced yumeko to be tortured. If you decided to stay with her then.." he stops and leans to him. "Never touch yumeko."

A moment of silence between them. Still the princess is hoping that he would choose her to stay with him.

Prince Ethan's eyes look at somewhere before clenching his fist and removes his mask and smiles at the princess.

"Why would i abandon my princess? Yumeko is just a Highschool Student, She's No Princess." he said.

Princess Nami hugs him while Prince Jake glares at both of them, he hates his brother for selecting such a bad decision. His eyes saw someone just outside the door.

That is when he knew that yumeko followed him all the way there, lying about staying in his room to rest.

With that, She ran away. That made Prince Jake glares at his brother more.

"Prince Jake, Stop looking at your brother like that. Are you not yet moved on-"

"Why would I not look at him like this, Father? He made such a nasty decision. I hate him, I hate the princess!" After he said that, he run to where yumeko ran away.

All he needs to do is to comfort her, he knows she's in pain right now.
