The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

I hadn’t seen Aqua all day except for in piano class. It was hard being around her when I knew things between us were over. We didn’t speak to each other after. Since Cade and Konn knew what was going on they were fine with us not working together until Tuesday. Cade was going to aid for me again until then.

I was finally let in to speak with my parents. Cade waited outside for me. “What did you want to talk to us about?” My father asked.

“I’ve been thinking about my upcoming marriage.”

“Are you having doubts?” Mother asked.

I sighed because I never had to talk to them about something like this. “Yes, but the main thing I want to discuss is if I decided to call off my engagement would there be any limitation to who I could marry? I want to know if I started to look again.”

Mother looked disappointed; I wasn’t used to seeing that. “It’s awfully late to call off your engagement. It’s public but if you were sure about calling it off, I don’t see why there would be any limitations.”

“We’d prefer you marry a dragon shifter.” My father said. “You probably shouldn’t marry any of our workers or any reporters either.” There it was.

“And what if I did want to marry a worker?”

Mom frowned. “That sounds like a scandal Lexus, what’s gotten into you? I thought you loved Sadia. She’d make an amazing Queen.”

“What if mates were still a thing?” I wanted them to be thinking about my exact situation without knowing it was my exact situation. “What if one of the workers were my mate, in that scenario would it be acceptable?”

“Why are we answering impossible hypotheticals Lexus? It’s not acceptable to marry someone who works in the castle, it would be inappropriate. Your adviser being from the human world is a lot to deal with already. We don’t need to add another controversy.”

Mother sighed. “Are you actually interested in an employee?”

“No mother, I wanted to know the details around my limitations. I’m guessing hybrids are also unacceptable?” Aqua might have been a hybrid so that would have been two problems.
