The Crown Prince's Love

"Remember this Desmond, if you are greedy and have desires, your soul will be devoured in the black clouds, and you can only spend three days there. If you don't find what you have come for, you will disappear as if you never existed."

I visibly gulped at his last word. Now, I was afraid of what could happen. "how many have died because of this?" I asked as my curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to discover what had happened and why the search had suddenly stopped. If I could find out who had gone there, I could rest assured that I would be safe.

"Thousands of souls and hundreds of the living who had fallen to her tricks."

"What!" I shouted, opening my eyes wide in shock. I couldn't believe that someone like Hecate existed. She was more powerful than any goddess that I had heard stories of.

"Why do you think that I might find the sword? A lot of....."

The man removed his palm from mine and chuckled. "Because you and the crown prince are chosen, and with your help, I believe Hecate will meet her demise."

"But...." I tried to argue to make him understand that I could never be the one assigned to the job. There was no way that I and the crown prince could get rid of someone like her.

"I must tell you that everyone is counting on you and whatever you do." he said, smiling. "Goodbye Desmond," he muttered.

"What are you....." I tried to ask him what he meant by that, but right in front of me, he turned into a pile of dust.

My eyes widened again, and I didn't know if I was to scream or run out of the car. I followed the second option and ran out of the car, running as if my life depended on it, which it did. I have to ensure that I get the sword because my life and the lives of the royals relied on it.

I heaved a deep sigh as I stood in front of the gigantic gate of the royals. I had been waniting or more uttarrièrrimirces; afrorschi,' 1 'Couïdn'n'tsurmmorritle couragent waik'ir because I was scared of what would happen to me.

Would they allow me in? Would Randy want to see me? I had concealed my identity with my hoodie because I didn't want anyone to see me. If they did, the paparazzi would take pictures of me and ask questions again. It was one of the reasons why I had remained at the front of the gate, thinking of how I could enter.

"The crown prince is here!" someone shouted from the crowd, and all the paparazzi who had gathered and those sitting jumped to their feet and rushed to meet the black vehicle driving in. I clenched my fists tighter together as the car moved past me. I raised my head and looked out the window, hoping that someone would see, and he did as the car stopped beside me and the car door opened.

"Get in!" Randy's voice sounded from inside the car.

"That is Desmond!" one of the reporters yelled, and they started rushing towards my side, but I had jumped into the car before they could reach me, and when the door shut as soon as I got in, I panted for breath holding my chest as it pounded over and over again.

"Randy..." I muttered his name, but he didn't say anything. He turn to face the other side of the window until the car drove in. When the car stopped before the mansion, he rushed inside, still not speaking to me.noveldrama

I knew that he was mad at me after what I had done, and no matter what I said or did,

it wouldn't change the fact that I had tried to destroy his family. Everything that had happened was all my fault.

I followed him, walking behind him until he reached the front of his room. As he stepped in, I also stepped in behind him.

He jumped on his bed and closed his eyes, still not acknowledging my presence.

I didn't say anything for a few minutes and just watched him. I didn't want to start the conversation first because I feared what he might say to me. "are you going to stay there without saying anything to me?" he finally spoke up and stood up from his bed. "are you going to keep acting as if you didn't do anything wrong!" he yelled as he turned to look at me.

"Randy, ....."

"What!" he yelled again. "do you want to tell me now that what you have done is for me!" he kicked the frame of his bed and then chuckled. "you must be insane if you think that I would believe your lies!"

I sighed. "listen, I know that you don't want to listen to anything that I have to say right now, and I believed that you hate me because of what had happened and...."

"yes, I hate you right now for what you have done to my family!" he stood up from the bed and pointed towards me.

"everything that is happening right now is your fault. You caused this, and I hate that you did it without telling me!"

I tried to move closer and console him, but he stopped me with his hands. "please, don't come any closer to me. I am not happy about what you have done amid our scandal. Everyone thinks it happened because of me and pointing fingers at me. I have to fulfill the role of the crown prince, which I don't even want. If my parents never returned, then I would have to become the king!' he said and chuckled. "it would mean that you and I can never be together no matter how hard we try. You have ruined everything, and it would have been resolved if you had told me instead of keeping it yourself."

That was my mistake. "I should have told you, but Hecate manipulated me, and I was tired of the constant problems between us and...."

"And you think you will get what you wanted after getting rid of my parents right? You believed that by doing that, my parents would be out of your hair, and we would be together forever."

"no"" I shouted. He was taking it too far because that was not what I had wanted to do. Hecate had told me that everything that happened was because of the past, and so I wanted to resolve the issue, and so, I believed that by striking a deal with Hecate, I could make it work out, but I had no idea that it would lead to this. "Randy, I did it for us. Hecate told me our story was written, and we needed to make...."

"shut up!" he yelled at me. "stop talking about Hecate because she didn't do anything to help us. She is a liar, and if you think that I love being without my parents, then I must tell you that I don't. I want always to see them, and no matter how my father hated our relationship, I wouldn't want anything to happen to him."
