The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 16

Father, Daughter

Aqua's POV

After I learned that I had a second brother yesterday I decided to confront Konn. We met in the same place as yesterday morning when he assigned me my job. "Okay, Cade is assisting Lexus today, which mean-"

"I'd like to spend time with you today," I cut him off.

Konn raised his eyebrows. "Alright, you can shadow me for the day. I'll assign someone else to assist the princess today." He wrote notes down on his clipboard. "Follow me."

I started to follow him down the hall. "I heard you have another son." I thought it was weird he never mentioned it to me and neither did Cade.

Konn kept walking without saying anything for a few minutes. "I do have another son. Gray is my youngest child. I didn't mention him because I haven't told him about you yet."

I think him not telling Gray about me was weirder than him not telling me about Gray. I had so many unrelated questions, but I didn't want to overwhelm or upset him. "He wouldn't like the idea of having a sister?" I thought about all the younger siblings I left behind.

"That's not the reason I haven't told him. He has his hopes up that he's the holder. These abilities help you see the future like an oracle but also abilities oracles don't have." So, Cade wasn't the one I was really taking anything from, it was Gray. "You would have intuition and be able to see things currently going on through your third eye." Two abilities I already had. "They're able to see possible futures through dreams while Oracles have conscious visions. Unlike oracles you'll also be able to see dreams of the past. Some early holders were able to speak with the moon goddess in dreams." I could ask her why I had a mate when no one had in centuries. "A holder hasn't been able to do that in centuries but there's always the possibility." I might not be able to ask her after all.

"If you tell him about me, you're basically taking away any hope he has that he's the holder." Gray really was going to resent me.

"You're so sure you're the holder. Gray claims to have intuition too," He said. He walked to a group of workers and gave them paperwork then continued to wall.

I had more than just intuition, but I hadn't told anyone else other than Sadia. "I'm able to see the present with my third eye, I did it once yesterday."

Konn stopped walking then turned to me. "What did you see?"

I wasn't sure if I should have been telling him about how I saw Cade fighting with his girlfriend when he was supposed to be working. "Cade in the castle... working." I lied. "Test me if you want, I can do it again." I'm not sure where the confidence came from, but it was there.

The next thing I know Lexus is standing right next to me. "Don't you have work to do Vella?"

Vella looked hurt for a second then pulled herself together. "I do but I wanted to talk with Cade a little first." She turned to him. "I'll see you after." She glared at Lexus before walking off.

"Things are getting better?" Lexus asked.

Cade wasn't sure from what I could tell. "We're getting there, what did you think of her Aqua? Any intuition?" I wasn't expecting him to ask me that. When I met her, I was focusing more about who she was to Lexus. I wasn't thinking about what I sensed from her.

"I'd probably have to be around her more, but I thought she was cute." I looked at Lexus. "Don't you think she's cute?" I teased.

Lexus chuckled. "You're funny Aqua," He said sarcastically. "Don't you have to work too?"

"Actually, I'm on break since Konn is in a meeting with your parents but I should make myself more familiar with the castle. Bye Cade." I waved then walked to the hallway. I looked down at my phone when it vibrated. Calvin text me to let me know he got my number from Sadia. I still hadn't decided if I was going to give Calvin a chance to get Lexus out of my head.
