One second. Two seconds. ten seconds. Thirty seconds. One minute. It took one plus minute for Justin to process the new Information Fed to him. His mind was shutting down involuntarily like a computer that has been invaded by a virus. Like, was life playing a joke on him? He was sincerely happy that he was no royal but he knew what it meant to be One. How could he be happy with his woman miraculously turning out to be one. His work life was already dramatic, he didn’t need drama in his real life.
” Wait, what?” He practically roared, causing the king and Miranda to flinch at his offending noise. ” You heard me right, Miranda is the princess of the family. She was separated from us for her own safety.” The King explained. He wasn’t sure what was with Justin today. When they expect him to be angry, he’s relaxed but the moment they expect him to be maybe happy or relieved, he seems… Sad? He couldn’t tell.
” No no no! This is not happening right? I must be dreaming, I swear.” He entered a state of denial. Miranda was worried about him so she moved to sit next to him and hold his hand. ” Come down, okay? What’s wrong with you today?” She couldn’t help but ask. He was confusing her for a big time. ” Don’t you dare tell me to calm down!” He shouted, pulling his hands away. Miranda could tell that he was angry but why? Was it because she turned out to be a royal and he wasn’t? Was that it? But the Justin she knew was not a petty person and that would be the least of his reaction.
” Do you know what it means to be the princess of this kingdom? Miranda, do you know that will be akin to exposing yourself to danger? I can’t bear to lose you, I Just found you.” His voice was almost a whisper. His heart ached thinking about what his woman will have to go through. Justin’s words warmed Miranda’s heart. It turned out he was worried about her but he didn’t need to, she was very much capable of taking care of herself.
” You are not going to lose me, I will always accompany you.” Miranda said, caressing his cheeks to ease his worries. But Justin was not accepting this. ” No Miranda, I can’t let you risk your life like this. Dealing with the rebels will be hard, I can accept everything as Long as you don’t get involved in this.” Justin spoke again.
” So what’s your great plan? You know that the country is jeopardised. If we do not deal with this crisis, the matter will go south.” The king spoke with authority.
” The King is right! This is a matter of national importance, I can’t neglect my duty and let everything my ancestors build be destroyed in the hands of rebels just because I’m scared. Of Course, fear is the last emotion a warrior has. She was willing to risk it all as long as the people she loved could be safe. As long as the country was safe, she would even put her life in the line.
” But Miranda…” He was cut short before he could even speak his mind. ” No buts Justin. I will be safe, I promise you. Nothing can happen to me when you are by my side. All I ask is your support, together we will keep this country peaceful and prosperous.” Miranda said this time pleading. Watching this scene the king could only sigh helplessly. He understood that they loved and cared for each other but this was a serious matter. They couldn’t let their emotions and fears get the better if them.
” Okay, I will support you but on one condition.” Justin finally relented. Miranda did not say anything, Just cocked her brows with him. ” If worse comes to worst, leave this place immediately.” He stated and Miranda nodded. She did not take his words seriously but also knew that she had to show her cooperation.
After they reached an agreement, the plans started to be executed. Within a month and a week, they were able to identify several rebel hideouts and attack them. They also blocked any access to more firearms by securing all the country’s entry points, including the ports. That was a task carried out by Ronald. He was in the underground business and knew many partners who fed him with the information he needed.
Kiel’s team was responsible for the attacks while Miranda and her group collected the necessary information. After several attacks from the government, the rebels were weakened. This was One of the expected results from Miranda’s war strategy. Pushed to a corner, the leader finally decided to call their overall leader and request for reinforcement. With the crowning of the King fast approaching, they had to get ready irrespective of the damages caused.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The frequent attacks intensified their hatred of the royal family even More. What they didn’t know was that they were falling straight to the trap Miranda had weaved specially for them. It didn’t take long for the traitor to be identified. It turned out to the king’s most trusted minister, the minister of defence. No wonder the rebels could smuggle firearms unnoticed into the country. The minister had other aliens in the government.
The King had suggested they take him on but Miranda disagreed arguing that by doing that, it would alert the others and catching them would be close to impossible. The day of crowning was nearing. Justin officially resigned from the showbiz and announced that the reason he was resigning was to go and take his duties as the future king of the country. This news spread like wildfire and the netizens were astounded. He was after all the rumoured crown prince of the kingdom who nobody set their eyes on. Some people had even assumed that maybe he didn’t exist only to hear that their model was also the prince who never made a public appearance.
