The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 87

"Aqua." Grandfather called me.

I opened my eyes. "Huh?"

"You shouldn't use your abilities for your own purposes." Grandfather said.

"Why not?" My mother asked. "It's her abilities." Dad looked am worried.

"They were given to our family to better the kingdom not for our own gain. I don't expect you to understand Mae," Grandfather explained.

"Is that what we came to talk about?" Cade asked, annoyed. "I didn't need to be here if it's about Aqua."

"No, it's about all of you. You need to go back to the castle and apologize to the king and queen. This is ridiculous and a mockery to everything my father and our ancestors built."

"Did you explain it to him?" I asked my Dad.

"Yes, he just doesn't believe it."

I frowned. "You don't believe that I spoke to the moon goddess?"

Grandfather shook his head. "I believe that you believe you did but it doesn't add up. Why wouldn't my father have spoken with the moon goddess? Why wouldn't she have led him down the right path."

I knew the answer, but I wasn't sure if it was good for me to explain. "Did he ever have a dream about her?"

Grandfather shook his head. "No but if it was important to her she would have visited his dream."

He didn't understand. "Diana had tried with holders before him, but she wouldn't order them to leave. She gave them the choice of leaving, and they knew she didn't intend on them working for the royal family. The problem was their loyalty."

"And you have none." Grandfather said as if it proved his point.

"And that's why I was chosen as the new holder. I've been doing all kinds of hands on good for people. I've been helping them face to face and not from a distance in a big castle." I looked at the waiter as they brought our food.

As we started to eat no one said anything but there was a lot of tension. My grandfather didn't care that the holder was never meant to work for the royal family. He cared more about continuing what we've always done because Diana gives us free will. She gives us the choice, so he doesn't want to give me one. I noticed my grandfather had a bag with him. "What's in the bag?"

"My father's journals, he documented his time as a holder. I thought it might help you realize your power and capabilities."

I smiled. "I think that would really help."
