Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: He Hurt Her

"Very well, then," Aldric breathed, "It seems you have made up your mind, Issac." He lifted his hand and traced his face, his hand finally resting at his temple.

Issac shivered at the caress, recognizing that move as his signature touch of death. He would get into his mind and shut him down from the inside out and not even the mental walls he put up would save him. Perhaps it was better he died this way than the prince using his dark magic on him. He heard that it felt like being burned alive, hopefully, he won’t feel this one and have a peaceful death.

"What a pity, we could have done so much together," Adric tutted to himself, both hands now resting on his temple, "But don’t worry, I would make this quick."

Issac groaned as he felt a sudden pressure in his head that made him dizzy and nauseous. He groaned, sliding down against the wall and Aldric moved with him, his hands pressed tightly to his skull and his attention focused.

A silent scream erupted from his mouth as the building pressure in his head blinded him. He scratched and pushed at Aldric’s hands all to no avail, the prince had a strong grip on his mind and wouldn’t let go. Issac gasped for breath and just when he thought his head was going to explode, someone interrupted them.

"That’s enough!"

The connection was broken and Aldric let go of his head, turning to see who had interrupted him.

He smirked, "Nice of you to finally join us, Maximus."

"It’s Maxi," She hissed, stepping into view.

"Really, I didn’t know you play favorites now and here I was thinking I was your one and only." Aldric was teasing her and Maxi knew that because she ignored him and demanded,

"Let go of Isaac, he’s not going to say a word."

"Oh, sweetheart," Adric drawled with a sickly sweet tone, "You know I can’t do that. I can’t have him spilling my plans." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"Everyone in the kingdom of Astaria knows you plan to seize the throne if given the chance. Which is why they don’t trust you, else why would your father, the king, keep you away from the palace?"

At the mention of his father, King Oberon, Aldric’s eyes darkened and there was tension in his body. Had it been someone else who spoke to him that way, he would have ended that person already, but this was Maximus, or Maxi - as she claimed, not that he has acknowledged that yet. The both of them shared a special bond - one that the others could not understand.

"Indeed, they don’t know how I intend to achieve that plan yet." He turned and pointed at Isaac, "But he does."

"It’s just a small piece of your greater plans, Aldric, you always have a plan B for everything. Issac does not intend to harm you, he’s only blindly loyal to the kingdom and its progress. He has a family back home, who wouldn’t want to protect their loved ones?"

Aldric stopped and stared at her with narrowed eyes before crossing to her. He said with utmost disgust,

"It’s just a few days and yet you have grown attached to him. What happens to getting rid of him if he gets in the way of our plan? What happened between the both of you? Do you like him already?"

But Maxi did not answer his question, rather she said, "You gifted him to me, didn’t you? In one word, he’s my responsibility. So why are you trying to get rid of my responsibility without my consent? I have been loyal to you all through the years, Aldric, but I didn’t ask you to fight my battles. Issac belongs to me and so I deal with him. " She said firmly, not letting out any emotions that would confirm his claims that she had feelings for Issac.

Aldric doesn’t do feelings.

They both stared each other down after the argument until Aldric broke the gaze. He turned to Issac who stared at both of them unsure, knowing his life hung in the balance.

"Fine," He gave in, "He’s yours to deal with. You can have him."

Maxi slowly expelled the breath she had no idea that she had been holding in. Her appearance was hidden in the hood of her cloak as well and she moved to help the Issac to his feet when Aldric added,

"However, if I have reason to suspect that Issac is working against me, then he won’t have an easy death, whether he belongs to you or not."
