Chapter 104
It was not easy for Jasmine to convince her mother and father that she was fine. She only needed some time alone and wished to use their lake house in the north kingdom. She wanted to stay there for at least a month or two without anyone else.
“You can go, but at the very least, take someone with you,” Althea suggested. “Take Renee with you, so there will be someone, who will take care after you.”
However, Jasmine rejected the idea. “I want to be alone, mother. I don’t want to bring anyone with me.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Her king father didn’t agree with the idea either, but he found a middle ground.
“It’s okay, you can leave to the north, but if you didn’t want to take Renee with you, you need to take the warriors.” Alex raised his hand before Jasmine and Althea could protest.
Althea didn’t want Jasmine to leave and Jasmine didn’t want to bring warriors with her. She had said it a few times that she wanted to be alone, but they seemed not to understand that.
“Listen to me first,” Alex said, which silenced Althea and Jasmine. “Those warriors are necessary. No matter where you go, you will be the princess of this kingdom, your safety is the priority, but if you wanted to be alone, I will tell them to maintain the distance from you and not to show themselves unless it’s necessary. With that, you can feel alone, but also safe.”
Jasmine wanted to protest, but after she thought about that for a while, she agreed. Her status alone would put her in danger and she wouldn’t say that she was confidence to be able to defense herself if suddenly she was being attacked. Therefore, the king’s suggestion was the best.
“Thank you, father!” Jasmine said, she went to kiss her father and mother before she finished her meal and then left, but before that, her father reminded her of one thing.
“You should be the one, who told Aiden about this.”
Jasmine grimaced. She knew talking to her younger brother would be more difficult than talking to her parents, but she nodded anyway and then left to find Aiden.
Once Jasmine left, Althea immediately turned her head to look at Alex. “Why did you do that?” she protested. She had been wanting to say something, but Alex held her hand, gesturing for her to not say anything.
“Althea, you know how it feels, you have done the same thing in the past too,” Alex reminded her gently.
Althea chose to run away in the past because of the pain that Killian put her through, of course, she didn’t wish the same pain to her baby, but she should know more than anyone that Jasmine needed this escapee.
“You have done everything that you could. It’s not your fault. Nobody at fault here.” Alex put his finger under chin and looked at her right in the eyes. “She is big already, she knew right from wrong, she will be fine. You need to trust her judgment.”
Althea leaned against his touch and sighed deeply. “You are right. I am too worried about her.”
“Of course, you are worried, you are her mother.” Alex pulled her closer and then kissed the top of her head. Even after so many years they were together, he still felt this spark between them. He loved her even without the mate bond.
Two days later, Jasmine was ready to leave the palace, heading toward the north part of the kingdom, where their lake house was.
This was the location that they used to visit during summer, but right now it was almost winter, thus Jasmine decided to spend the whole winter there. She wanted to see the surface of the lake froze over.
“Please, write okay, write every day,” Althea said, she shed tears in her eyes, as she kissed Jasmine’s cheek and this made her giggled.
“Mother, it’s almost winter, even if I wrote to you every day, you will receive it a week later,” Jasmine kissed her back. “But, well, I will write to you.”
Aiden hugged her. He didn’t want to let her go, but her mother said that big sis needed to leave the palace, because she needed to heal, he didn’t know what’s that mean. Why she should leave when they had the best healer here?
But apparently, their best healer couldn’t heal his big sis.
“You need to write to me too. I want a letter to myself. I don’t want you to ask about me in mom’s letter. I want my own letter.”
Jasmine laughed at that, she shook her head. Her heart was still in pain, but her family made it easy, yet she needed to leave for herself this time. She needed quietness.
“Of course.” Jasmine then looked at her king father. “I will write to you too, father.” She tiptoed and kissed her father.
Alex pulled her into a hug, as he squeezed his son in the middle.
The parting words were said and finally, Jasmine left the palace. It would take her two weeks to reach the north part of the kingdom, by the time she was there, it would be the first week of winter.
There were around ten warriors that would come with her, but they would stay away, making themselves invisible, because Jasmine didn’t want to be followed.
She sighed deeply and then she saw a beast that she recognized. It was her father. Her biological father. She then asked the carriage to stop and she approach him.
Killian shifted into his human form and hugged her. “I am sorry, I can’t do anything.”
“Don’t be sorry, father. There is nothing that you can do.”
Jasmine could feel it that her father felt guilty for what happened to her and her destined mate. In a twisted way, he thought it was his karma for what he had done to her mother.
“I will write to you.”
