Chapter 106

22. A King’s Command

ROYCE.

It’s almost an hour before she finally shows up, always late. She knocks on the window of my car in which I have been waiting for her. I unlock the doors and she quickly gets in. She’s still the same as ever, her caramel brown hair falls to her waist, her blue eyes look me over and she gives me a small smile.

“Hey,” She says, about to reach over for a hug, but I turn away, looking ahead, resting my arm on the steering wheel – not giving her the option to get close.

Her heart skips a beat, and she sits back after she shuts the door behind her.

“Hi, how have you been?” I ask emotionlessly.

Seeing her just shows how intense the feelings I have for Skyla are.

She nods, her hair falling in front of her face. “Yeah, I’ve been ok. What about you?”

The tone says otherwise, but there’s nothing I can say that will help her.

“Good,” I reply, deciding to get to the point. “Alright, so like I told you, I needed to talk to your father. Did you manage to get him to agree?”

She bites her lip and nods. “Yeah, and I didn’t tell him who it is as you ordered. I just said it is someone who desperately needs to see the court.”

“Great. So where are we headed?”

She doesn’t reply and I turn to look at her, her eyes are filled with sadness and pain as she stares back at me.

“Cold much?” She whispers, hurt clear in her voice.

I cock a brow. I don’t want to be harsh but I’m not here to mislead anyone or hurt anyone. “I’m not here to make amends Jade, I only contacted you because I genuinely needed to get in touch with someone from the Court of Solaria,” I explain. “We broke up months ago. Leave it in the past.”

“I get that, but you never answered me. What happened to us?”

“The spark faded, and you can’t deny that we argued. When a relationship becomes a burden, you let it go,” I reply coldly.
