A ROYAL TALE OF JEALOUSY - CHAPTER 27&28
꧁𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄꧂
Ivan sat on the bench waiting patiently for Lyla, his mind is so heavy. He also plan to stop pressuring Yara once she reject today’s proposal but he have no idea why Lima did that. Is she jealous? Did she have feelings for him or she just h@?? Yara naturally?’Those are the thoughts that run through Ivan’s head as he sat on the bench with his head on his laps.
“Prince Ivan”Lyla called for the third time and luckily for her, he raise his head up then.
“How long have you been standing?”He asked, with a smile which make Lyla also smiled.
“Not quite long”She replied.
“I’m so sorry, I was lost in thought”He apologized.
“It’s fine, you said I should meet you here”Lyla remainded.
“Yeah, I find what you said then weird, you don’t mean what you said earlier right?”He asked, not knowing exactly where to start explaining that he have no feelings for her.
Lyla sit beside him.
“I have been crushing on you for a long time and only Lima know about that, I wish I can be your wife someday. You know how it feels to love someone that doesn’t have any feelings for you. I know you don’t love me but trust me, I’m a good person with pure heart you will surely fall for me within a week when we get married”She assured and Ivan laughed.
“The difference between you and Lima is so lengthy”Ivan smiled.
“Don’t judge her by the way she speak to you, infact I don’t know why she is rude and bad to you. She is one of the nicest and kind person on earth. Maybe, you offend her in your first life”She joked and they laughed.
“You are right. I actually like her and adore her but she is too crazy to notice that”He replied and she chuckled.
“Don’t talk about my sister that way”Lyla snapped with a frown and Ivan move away from her a little, he have a fake surprise look on his face.
“I’m so sorry, I have no idea you have the same personality”Ivan apologized.
Lyla burst into laughter, the look on his face is just to funny to ignore.
“How dare you? How dare you laugh with someone you haven’t paid her bride price?”Lima asked from behind when she saw Ivan laughing with Lyla.
“So, I will go and tell my parent about our plans, take care of yourself. I will say hello to king Veal before I leave”Ivan smiled at Lyla ignoring Lima completely.
“Ivan!”Lima called but he started leaving.
“Like seriously, he is avoiding me because of what I did to that wïtch????”Lima fold her fist angrily.
“Stop blabbering and catch up with him”Lyla snapped.
“Really?”
“Yes but don’t say some stupids things, go and tell him sorry”Lyla snapped and stood up from the bench.
Lima use her hand to hold her long gown before running after Ivan, she called him several time but he did not wait not to talk of looking back.
She finally get to him and she couldn’t help the situation but fall on him.
“Why are you following me? What do you think you are doing Lima?”Ivan asked and she stood upright, breathing heavily.
“Come here”She smiled and they walk over to somewhere less noisy.
“Why are you following me? Why did you bring me here? Oh my goodness, what am I even saying? I shouldn’t have wait for you or I should have just ignore you and let you collapse on the floor”He roll his eyes.
“I can see you are still mad at me”Lima pout her lips and this make her look cute.
Ivan stared at her for some seconds before moving his gaze back to the floor.
“I don’t have all day. What do you have to tell me?”He snapped again, his eyes and body become weak when Lima pull him into a hug.
“What are you doing”He asked fearfully.
“Shhhhh”Lima said, she hug for three minutes before disembarking from the hug.
She smile at his shock face.
“Why did you do that?”Ivan find himself asking.
“I guess that is enough to make me feel better. Take good care of Lyla, protect her with all you have”She warned.
“You haven’t answer my question”Ivan said in harangue manner.
“I’m sorry for what I did the other time but trust me…you are also wrong”Lima stuck her tongue at him before running away.
‘Did she use me? Why the heck did she hug me? Why did she say the hug will make her feel better? Arrrrrrrrgh, I shouldn’t have come here today’He groaned and continue his journey to where he put his horse.
“Your highness”The guards that follow him bowed.
He just climb his horse and started ridding, he is not in a good mood, there so many things going on in his head.

Veal was about entering Hera’s chamber with a smile when his mood suddenly change, he tried to smile but no, he can’t do it, his started getting furious as he take another step to Hera’s chamber.
Hera who is about going out bump into him at the entrance.
“Veal?”She called happily, but her smile slowly turn to frown when she notice the red vains on his head.
He bow his head so that his already red eyes won’t be obvious to her.
“I just came to say hello. Take care of yourself, I will check on you some other time”He said in angry tone and left.
“What is wrong with him? Did he had a fight with someone? If he has a fight with someone, he shouldn’t have come here”Hera blabbered as she started walking out with guards and maids behind her.

Ivan entered his father palace and saw him settling dispute, he waited for him to finish that before kneeling at his front
“Father, I really need you to give me more time to look for a wife, I need to be careful”He pleaded.
“Ivan you have no time, you are getting old everyday, if you think you cannot get a wife in a week maybe you should get married to Beatrice, I just thought about what you mother said yesterday; Beatrice is not her father and no one is right which means I don’t care if her father is known as bad king. You will get married to her if you can’t provide a wife by next week”King Myra snapped and Ivan stood up before walking away.
He head to his mother chamber.
“Ivan, what is wrong with you?”Diana asked when she notice the look on her son’s face.
“I’m not fine mother, I’m confused”He mumbled and slump on her bed.
“You can always share your thoughts with you. Why are you confused?”Diana asked and Ivan sat on the bed before facing her.
“One of my friend have a girl friend, that are both free to each other to the fact that they talk to each other anyhow but, my friend doesn’t have feelings for her, he told her about a girl he love and the lady promise to help him but Instead of her to help the situation, she made it worse. What I’m confused about now is why did the lady acted that way? They are friends, she should try to protect his friend relationship but she spoil the whole thing”He explained and Diana burst into laughter.
“Ivan stop the jokes, this is what is happening to you. Anyways, who is this girl that you have been friends with?”Diana asked with a smile.
“It happened to my friend”Ivan lied.
“Since you insist that it happened to your friend then I will say, either the lady doesn’t like the person her friend choose or she have a secret crush on her friend”Diana replied and Ivan eyes slowly widened.
“Oh no!”Ivan screamed and rush out of Diana’s chamber and he bump on Beatrice.
“Ivan”Beatrice called and quickly block his way.
“What are you doing? Go away”He snapped but she stood there staring at him.
“If you have nothing to say then I will leave”Ivan roll his eyes.
“I know I mess up but, that doesn’t mean we should stay away from each other. I’m sorry”She apologized.
“Bea, I’m nice enough to forgive you but trust me I’m not nice enough to have you back. Just go to your clan and find another friend and lover. Thanks for your time”He bowed dramatically before walking away.
“Ivan, weather you like it or not, you are mine”Beatrice laughed.

Amelia sat on the edge of the river when she finish washing Veal clothes, she have a smirk on her face when she felt a presence beside her.
She frowned when she saw Annie (The barbie) glaring at her.
“What are you doing Annie?”She asked innocently.
“What are you planning about King Veal? Don’t you dare do it”Annie warned.
“What if I do it? What are you going to do about that? He must be foolish for him to trust me… ”
“He is not foolish Amelia!!”Annie yelled.
“No he is foolish coz can he also be friends with someone that ki||ed his mother?”Amelia asked with a smirk.
“Amelia, I want you to understand that he is not the one that ki|| your mother”Annie said in a calm voice with the hope that Amelia could change her plans
“Annie, I have decided to do it and nothing can stop me so, don’t waste your precious time trying to convince me”Amelia smiled.
“You may even got caught and get ki||ed if you are not careful”Annie remainded.
“Do you even know how boring life is when there is no mother? It is so boring and sad. What is my purpose in life when I’m just an orphan maid with lost sister?”Amelia asked tearfully.
Annie sighed and vanish into thin air.

“Your highness, there is something I need to tell you”Farley (A guard) bowed.
“Go ahead”Veal replied, with his usual cold voice.
“There is a festival coming up, known as cultural period; it is a day when all the villagers celebrate their culture. Three days is the fixed days that is used to celebrate culture period”He explained but the only thing Veal heard is that, the villagers will come to the clan and party for three days.
“Okay”He simply replied, he is trying his best not to move to the guard and k*ll him.
He stood up from his throne and started walking out of the palace.
“Your majesty”Yara greeted from behind.
“Hummm”He fold his fist angrily.
“You told me that you want to study my character but you have never for once visit me in my chamber, I know you are busy and that is why I come up with this plan; I will start staying in your chamber until you give me the permission to leave”She said with a smile but Veal is facing another side, his face is unfamiliar and so, red due to the anger.
“That is a bad plan, the little time we’ve spent together, I notice you don’t love me, you just want ”The first queen” title but I don’t care. Secondly, I think you are faking your kind attitude tho, you are a good actor but trust me, you can only pretend, you cannot avoid reality”He replied and Yara sighed.
He is not only handsome, he is also intelligent but he is a snüb’Yara thought as she listen to him.
“I know you don’t have feelings for me but please don’t think of me as a bad person”Yara begged.
“I have to go”Veal said without spearing a glance.
“He left”Yara muttered hurtfully as she watch Veal walking away in fast pace.

Veal decide to leave Yara since he is becoming more angry.
“My king…”
“Come inside”He said without thinking.
The guard entered and his eyes widened when he saw Veal face, he look so furious and scary.
The guard made to run but Veal was fast enough to grab his neck, he started chöking him.
“My king please forgive me”The man cried but Veal is too lost to even hear his pleads.
“Veal!”Veal heard the voice he have been dying to hear and immediately, her voice sounded in his ear. His temper started reducing.
