The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 94

Chapter 0094 

7 hope you can understand and respect Nicholas’s need to move on from the train wreck you once shared together,the King continued

I swallowed thickly, fear mixing with anger. What Nicholas and I had was special, not anything like a terrible accident. We’d cared deeply for each other. I’d had to leave him for his own sake, but I had never stopped caring about him

Yet as annoyed as the accusation made me, I did understand the King’s point of view. Nicholas had revealed to me that he was still hung up on our break up even now, three years later. He deserved to be 

free, to find someone to love

I doubted, however, that the King’s concern for his son had little to do with genuine care and everything 

to do with full control

Nicholas had been tied up in this from the start. The King and Queen had likely already chosen partners for each of their children, and this competition was nothing more than a farce for the people’s

I have told no one of your shared past, and those that do know are sworn to secrecy on the threat of death. You understand, don’t you, Piper?”

Tunderstand.The word did shake this time

We understand each other then.He waved me toward the door. Have them bring in the next girl when 

you leave.” 

rushed as quickly as propriety would allow me toward the door. Once outside, I delivered the King’s 

request to one of his servants, who rushed to accommodate

Yet no sooner had walked away from the King’s servants and into the ballroom, then Nicholes sought 

We need to speak privately.” 

I shook my head, adamantly against it with the King’s words rattling in my head. It was a major faux pas to deny the prince a requested audience, but I reasoned the King’s request took precedence

I’m sorry, Nicholas. I just can’t.” 

I hurried toward the drink table, eager to drown my worries in champagne. I haven’t drank since before Elva, when I’d had a stolen sip or two underage at the academy. I’d always wanted to

I was eager to lose it now

Unfortunately, Nicholas followed. What’s wrong? What happened?”

my hand before

I snatched a champagne flute from the table and went to down it. He plucked it from my 

could and returned it to the table

I glared at him. I’m allowed to drink.”
