The Crown Prince's Love

Randy was drowning right in front of me in the middle of a deep ocean, and I couldn't do anything to save him. "Desmond!" he had shouted my name. "please, I need your help," he begged. "please save me!"

"Randy!" I called out to him, trying to swim across the ocean to save his life, but then he started drowning in front of me while he called out for my help. I watched as he drowned entirely as I was unable to help him. I should be able to do something to help him, but I couldn't until he was no longer on the surface. "Randy!" I yelled out his name into reality.

"Randy!" I shouted again as I jerked up from my bed, turning on the lamp beside my bed. I heaved a deep sigh, realizing it was all a nightmare. I rubbed my face and then looked at John sleeping peacefully. I placed my hands on the wall, struggling to stand up from the bed. When I finally did, I limped with the aid of the wall as I walked towards the bathroom. Once I reached the bathroom, I continued limping until I reached the front of the mirror. I placed both hands on the faucet and heaved a deep sigh.

I gritted my teeth in pain, finding it hard to stand up properly. Even though I had been warned not to try to stand up without proper help, I didn't listen, and instead, I limped to the bathroom, standing on my own in the bathroom. I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh as I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't know how long I stared at myself until I noticed that my features were starting to change. My eyes turned blood red, and my reflection was pointing at me.

"Desmond," The voice that came out belonged to a woman, which means that it was Hecate who had come again to bother me. I frowned at her and heaved a deep sigh as I rubbed my face.

"Why are you showing yourself in front of me?" I angrily asked her.

"oh," she chuckled. "Don't get annoyed, little boy. I have come to remind you about what we have discussed. Why are you acting all worked up, or have you tried to change your mind?" she asked and then laughed.

"if you dare try to change your mind, then I have to tell you that your partner will die a horrible death. The death mark placed on you will transfer to him, and he will die a painful yet slow death, which I would make you watch," he said and then burst into laughter.

I heaved a deep sigh and closed my eyes, hoping that when I opened them, her horrible face would have disappeared, but it didn't, instead, she laughed at me. "Don't forget to capture the king and the Queen for me. It is the only way to protect your relationship with him and have a happy ending."

I clenched my fists tightly and nodded my head in response. "I already know about all of that. You don't have to remind me!" I said through gritted teeth. "I will do as told. If you keep to your side of the bargain. We wouldn't have to worry about anything!" I told her, heaved a deep sigh, and rubbed my hands together.

Hecate smiled wickedly and nodded in response. "I already promised that I was going to make sure that death mark is removed from your head and that of your partner, and you will be able to walk again, so you don't have to worry about anything else. I will ensure I get everything back for you!" she promised

"how do I trust you?" I asked her. "you are not to be trusted because that was how you did to the king and the Queen. You made them trust in your words, which affected them until now!"

Hecate laughed. "stop acting like I am the villain here when everyone played a role in everything that happened. None of this would have happened if they had not acted like that towards me. They locked me up because they couldn't give up on their son, and they had to suffer for it! It was their fault that I turned out to be like this, so I don't care about what they think!" she yelled and pointed toward me, "if you want your happy ending with the crown prince, then you need to follow my orders else you will continue to regret this day once you lose your boyfriend!"

I nodded in response, and she laughed again and pointed to her wrist. "tick tock. There

is no time to waste as you have to act on your own quickly!"

I said nothing, turned on the faucet, and washed my face. Then I poured the water on the mirror, and she was no longer there, and it was my reflection staring back at me. I rubbed my face and clenched my fists tightly. I didn't know about the king and the queen, but if they realized what I was doing, they might be proud that I was trying to save their son's life and wouldn't hate me for it.

The rest of the night, I couldn't sleep until daybreak, and it was time for another class. When I reached the class, Randy was already there with the girl named Ariel, whom he had announced to everyone that he was marrying, they were both having an intense conversation as John wheeled me in.noveldrama

John greeted Randy but didn't get any response from him while we both exchanged a brief look. Once the class started, I tried to focus and didn't seem to care about what I was going through. As the class was coming to an end, the teacher made a surprising announcement.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

"The substitute teacher who taught you months ago about the history of the dark hole had not collected the assignment, so I want you all to work on it again as a group and submit it to me."

My eyes widened in shock as I looked at Randy sitting opposite me. We both looked away at once and then I turned towards Ana. "is it the class with the four of us in?"

Ana nodded in response. "how are we going to do it now that you and the crown prince are not on good terms?" she asked.

I rubbed my hands and tried to raise my hand to back out, but Randy had already done that as he stood up. "I don't think I can continue to be In that group. I want to be somewhere else."

The teacher laughed. "forgive my manners, your highness, but I must remind you that this is a classroom, not a place for your problems. I dont care about what is happening with you and Desmond, even though it is already on the news. I want the assignment in two days, and no, I will not change your group regardless of your position as the crown prince."

"but..." Randy tried to argue, but he stopped him.

"I have already made my decision, crown prince, and I am not going to go against it, so

deal with whatever issues you have with Desmond!" he told him and then turned to leave the class.
