The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 68

As Told by Aqua

Aqua's POV

When Lexus hung up after I called him I didn't know what to do anymore. I wasn't sure when I'd see him again since he didn't know how long we shouldn't be in contact for.

The next day I was called into the king and queens office with my father and Hannah. "We've decided that Hannah is going to take over Lexus' responsibilities."

Hannah's eyes widened in excitement. "Really? I'm going to rule?"

The Queen sighed. "Not exactly but you are back up because we're not 100% sure about Lexus anymore. You'll have stricter studies surrounding preparations to possibly become queen. You'll have Lexus' workload and Aqua is now you're aid. We'll have to think over whether or not we want Lexus to return as heir," She explained.

The king spoke next, "This means no more sneaking off. If we can't count on you any more than Lexus there's no point in you replacing him."

Hannah nodded. "I understand, I'll be on my best behavior."

"You're dismissed Hannah," The king said, and Hannah left. "Aqua, we trust you have no contact with Prince Lexus."

I nodded. "None at all." I wish that weren't true.

The queen stood up. "Good, we have a few tasks for you." She handed me a piece of paper with a list on it. They were all tasks that required me to use my abilities.

"When you're done write a report on the results on each task. We expect everything to be done in three days." It seemed like a short time for all of these tasks, but I didn't complain.

When we were dismissed Konn stopped me in the hall. "How are you holding up?" He asked.

I shrugged. "It's only been couple days... I feel really bad about Sadia and Cade, even Lexus. I know how others are looking at me."

Father put his hand on my shoulder for comfort. "I know how it feels, I got the same looks, it'll pass okay?"

I got up early for the first day of working with Hannah. It was hard to sleep anyways. Sadia's words ran through my head keeping me awake. "Did you get any sleep?" Hannah asked.
