QT: I Bent The Male Lead

Love is a song who's melodies plays in ones heart and soul. The feeling as magical as it feels is like a rose. Effortlessly beautiful with thorns that we're extremely dangerous. 

In the royal palace of Aphidia the game of love had just began. With all the players eyeing their prizes and goals.  Many would stoop to any lengths to get what it is that their hearts desire. 

One gem in particular was the favourite of all players. The crown Prince of the kingdom. He was to be the future King of the kingdom, with a throne, the looks and all the wealth one could ever dream of. He was the cream crop of the kingdom. 

And yes, as the story goes. The King must always bow to his queen but ever so often he only gets such a chance when the queen stands among queens. 

Never has a king only kept one woman to his bed and hence many sort his favour. Tonight being the prince's birthday party women and young men from all around the kingdom had come to wish him. 

Seeing as he is into men, the young men who shared such similar interest came to try their luck with the future king. It mattered not who gets to be the future queen. What mattered was with whom the prince's favor remained. 

Jason was getting ready to attend the party. He had purchased a gift for his beloved which he hoped the man would like.  He had put a lot of thought into his gift to make it meaningful. 

With the turn out of events in the forest he could only deduce that someone was plotting against him. And the only person that came to mind was the author. Davy was the only person he had to fear while in the books, the man had the power to control what happens to him. 

But he was not going to quit. He was sure to turn the author hatred of him into love. He would make the man his biggest fan so that only good things happened in his life. 

"I have no idea how you would react to this. I hope you like it," he spoke out loud to himself. "From my heart to yours with love, Nedryn," he let out as he scribbled down the words. 

Walking out of the room, he was filled with joy seeing the beautiful decorations put in place for his love. He glanced at the moon shinning in the sky, the night was off to a good start.

"You should put one drop of this in his tea before you serve it," the old woman handed a bottle to Amberly. "With just one drop, you will destroy the love between Davion and Nedryn."

Amberly took the bottle from her and held it. The bottle seemed simple to the eyes, it confused her how it was the solution to her problems. 

With the children in her womb, the only thing that she lacked was control over Davion. She had already secured her place around him in such a way that no one could ever try to send her from the palace. 

But that wasn't enough, since she was young, she had always dreamt of being the one the crown prince loved. That was before prince Nedryn came into the picture and stole everything from her. 

"He isn't a good person, that is not why he had everything I have dreamt of. It's because he stole what is mine and made it his," Amberly spoke out. 

She pocketed the bottle in her pocket. She was dressed to impress, in her silver white dress and her diamond jewelry, she was sure to stand out at the party. 

Everyone was getting ready to celebrate the crown prince's birthday but she was getting ready for a different celebrations. The end of Davion's love for anyone but her. 

"Remember that you must be in his sight after he drinks the tea," the old woman reminded. "And I take it you don't need help in the art of seduction?" 

Amberly had a sinful smile on her face. Their was nothing she understood better than the art of getting what she wanted. Today, before the whole kingdom, she would be the only one victorious. 

It was her time now. She picked up her gift for the crown prince and stepped out of the room. As she made her way down the corridors, she ran into Jason watching the skies. 

She joined him and looked up at the moon. She could see Davion's face on the moon. It was from her love that she would always see him everywhere she turned. 

"If you truly loved him and their was doubt on your love for him, I would have walked away," she said.

Jason sighed, it was a great day. He had no energy to waste on any villain. Just a lot of love to shower on Davion. 

"It doesn't matter, he won't ever give you what he has given me. His heart," Jason uttered confidently. 

"Don't be too confident. Such has cost many kings their thrones," Amberly said. "I can get that to him if you'd like," she offered. 

Jason looked at his gift and shook his head. He was not foolish to trust his gift to a person who was his enemy. Goodness only knew what she would give the crown prince in place of it. 

"I don't trust you so I will give it to him myself," he let out. 

"Too bad, he would have at least opened it if I handed it to him," Amberly told. She bowed to him before she walked away. 

Jason had a bad feeling about her last words. She was walking in the direction of the crown  prince's room which got him worried. 

He turned around to go and find Davion. With so many snakes around he was safest keeping his beloved by his side. 

"Nedryn," Sashina called grabbing hold of his hand. 

As the girl kept him there, Amberly walked into the crown prince's room with her gift. Davidson was doing some finishing touches on his outfit when she walked into the room.

He looked up when he heard the approaching footsteps. Seeing the person who came his smile dropped, he was expecting Jason to come and see him before the party started but so far only unwanted guests found themselves in his room. 

"Not even a greeting your highness?" 

Amberly made herself at home and welcomed herself into the room. From the disappointment look on his face it was evident that he was expecting someone else. 

"What do you want Amber?"

"To give you your gift," she let out and handed the gift to him. Davidson threw it on the bed along with the other gifts that ladies had secretly brought for him. 

He had no idea what gave them the impression that he will like it and them if they visited him in his chambers and gave him gifts. 

"Your job here is what is growing in your womb. Don't try to be anything more than what is required of you," Davion said coldly. 

Amberly walked behind him to the coffee table. She took out the bottle from her pocket and poured the contents in the prince's tea. 

"Why do you put boundaries between us. There is no harm in me wanting more, right?" She asked him and brought the cup of tea to him. 

"No thanks," Davion rejected the tea. He would have drank the tea but since she touched the cup he found it unworthy of his touch. 

He didn't look down on her, he looked down on her mind. They had planned to have a child in the future but she seized the chance of Jason jumping into the lake to fast forward things. 

"Will you never forgive me. I accept that I made a mistake," she said unapologetically. 

Davidson pushed the cup of tea away. He just wanted to be left alone, all the efforts being put to win him over was a turn off in his eyes. 

"Fine, I will leave if you drink the tea," Amberly spoke out. 

The first smart thing she said since she entered the room. Davidson took the cup from her and gulped down the contents, Amberly smiled happily watching him drink the tea.

She congratulated herself inwardly for getting the prince to drink the tea without a hitch. When he was done, she took the cup from him and returned it to the table. 

She stood and bit her lower lip as she let her hair down. "Now tell me, do you still want me to leave?" She asked. 

She twirled around to meet the crown prince that would be only hers, she froze. The one warning she was given, she broke it carelessly and lost her golden chance. She lost the chance of being the one the prince saw first after drinking the tea. 

"I thought to come and give this to you personally. Had I gone to your father and he wouldn't have let me leave," the man said as he stepped into the room. 

Davidson couldn't look away.. Everything else, every memory, every thoughts and every emotions he felt before that moment faded from him.
