The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 50

"Go wait for me in the room, I still have a few things to handle. It won't be long I promised." I got up.

Sadia nodded. "I'll see you soon."

I walked around until I found Konn. "Hey Konn, could I talk to you?"

Konn turned around. "Not if it's about Aqua. I want to be as uninvolved as possible."

I scoffed. "So, you're telling me she hasn't talked to you about me?"

Konn walked past me. "I'm not saying that at all."

I followed him. "Then what's the difference?"

He marked on his clipboard. "She didn't give much detail and didn't ask for advice. The main difference is I'm not your father. You should talk to the king about it." I hated when he'd refer to my father as the king when he grew up with him. They should be more familiar than that they're best friends. I'd hate if Cade called me that to my kids.

"You think I should tell my father the current king that I'm cheating on my fiancée the future Queen with my adviser? You think that sounds right?"

"You'd be surprised what sounds right Lexus. You're only coming to me because I know. If I didn't, I wouldn't be your first choice."

"Out of everyone you are my first choice, you know me better than my own father."

He nodded. "I'm supposed to, it's my job to teach you, know where you are and who you are as the future king," he explained but it sounded like bullshit to me.

"That doesn't change the fact that I'm closer to you than my father. That just explains why. Fine, you don't have to give me any advice. I'll just break off my engagement," I threatened.

He put his hand on my shoulder as I turned around. "Fine." He moved his hand. "Let's get out of the hall."

I walked beside him to the room that hid the portal splicer. "This won't be long," I stated.

Konn put his clipboard down on the dresser that kept the portal splicer. "You're not thinking about breaking off your engagement, are you?" He looked disapproving.

I sat down against the wall. "I was, I even went to talk to my parents about it. I gave fake hypotheticals to them. They wouldn't allow me to marry someone who worked for us at all. Plus, Aqua is a hybrid and they'd rather I'd marry someone fully a dragon shifter."

"Then there's nothing you can do and there's no advice I could give you. You marry Sadia and carry on a professional relationship with my daughter."

I wish I could let Aqua move on.

Aqua's POV

The full moon ball was tomorrow so Stewart asked me to help them with last minute tasks for the ball. The organizers were working hard making sure everything was perfect.

I didn't see Lexus at all yesterday and I hoped I wouldn't see him today either. "I think Prince Lexus was coming on to me." One of the organizers said.

"When?" Stewart asked.

"Like a month and a half ago when we first started organizing the ball." So, before I came here. "He'd stare at me and wave whenever we passed each other. Other workers say he doesn't even acknowledge them. He even stopped me in the hall once to have a conversation. He said, 'Maybe I can get some advice from you about how to properly plan a party.' That was definitely him coming onto me."

Stewart rolled his eyes. "You're a party planner and he has a wedding coming up."
