Chapter 38 Confronting Jasmine

Seeing Aushima passed out with such a serene and blissful smile, I couldn't help but want to hug her and sleep under the covers of this romantic night.

Suddenly I heard a sound which pulled me back to reality.

I realised the sound was due to Jasmine tripping over some twigs.

'Does she plan to run away?'

'Let's confront her.'

I could see her face losing colour as the distance between us narrowed with each passing second.

There was an expression of shock and disbelief written all over her.

But my eyes were attracted to her ears which had been blushed red, and her long skirt which got torn from one side upon fall.

There were so many things she wanted to ask him.

Having witnessed him perform other types of magic, her earlier idea of confronting him was directly shelved off after she realised he was hiding too deeply.

But she felt there was something wrong with his gaze.

Within seconds she realised where he was looking.

She hurriedly used her hands to cover her white calves that were visible and couldn't help but mutter out aloud.

"Shameless!"

There were too many things running in her little head.

There was a strange silence between the two.

A part of her mind was curious enough to ask, Why did he do all this?..... other part of it was frustrated about him deceiving her…..while the remaining part was still suffering from the aftermath of things her virgin eyes saw between him and Aushima, and wanted to run away to hide her embarrassment.

She was becoming buried in her own thoughts, so I made the decision to break up the awkwardness.

I knew she had already seen many things and must have realised that I was the real mastermind behind David's arrest.

So I decided to be direct and cut directly to the chase, avoiding any meaningless talks.

"So what are you gonna do now?"

"I mean, didn't you realise what you have done?"

Taken aback by sudden questioning she was quick to reply, "What do you mean?"

I let out a mild chuckle as I questioned back

"What time is it?"

"It's night, What are you trying to imply?" she replied back in her irritated tone.

"Oh dear Jasmine, you have been so busy chasing and observing us that you did not realise such an important thing!"

"It's already a day since you have been following us!"

"You started chasing us early in the morning and it's already night."

"You forgot the most important thing!"

"Don't talk in circles, get to the point", she said while feeling a bit frustrated.

"Haha"

"Jasmine, Wasn't there someone waiting for you to get him out of the prison?"

"But sadly, he must have already undergone trial by afternoon."

"Don't worry, given that person's family background and people behind his back he probably wouldn't have been awarded the death penalty!"

"I wonder what punishment he had been awarded by the king?"

Suddenly Jasmine was hit by a thunderbolt as she realised what Elandor was trying to make her realise.

'David'

Yes she finally realised she had been too occupied, spending the entire day chasing them….. she forgot David was caught by the prison guards and would probably be taken to the royal court for the hearing.

She panicked

Her mind was in a mess as repeated thoughts came.

'What happened to David during the hearing in the court?'ReadNovelFull.com

'Will he be disappointed in her for not showing up at the hearing to help him?'

'Will Eve take this opportunity to get close by saving him?'

She couldn't help but slump down on the ground.

"It's over! It's over"

"Fuckkkk this shittt"

"I know David's personality!"

"Seeing me not there, he would definitely think that I colluded with you to trick and backstab him."

"Oh nooo! this is so bad, we are already too far away from the city!"

"I need to hurry back to see what's the situation."

As I watched her trying to get ready to run I held her hand forcefully and spoke,

"Do you think going back will solve everything?"

She quickly freed her hand from my grasp and yelled, "What do you mean bastard?"

"Think carefully, both of David's accomplices in prison break disappear suddenly, upon learning such a thing what will the king do?"

"With Eve and Evelyn present they would directly push the blame on our heads to prove that David was being manipulated by us."

"With David's statement in court and investigation revealing Jasmine also disappeared the same morning when he was caught, what will happen?"

"You along with me...will probably be declared a fugitive."

"Trust me"

"Right now even your family, after learning what you did using your servants and family's connection to guards in prison to let me and David enter, must already be in the process of disowning you to avoid the suspicion of being labelled as traitors."

I knew Jasmine was more of a logical person.

It was true that she was obsessed with David but she only wanted to possess him like a toy being held by children.

After my careful observations over the past few days,

I realised there was no love for David in Jasmine's eyes as she was filled with the idea that love can only happen to her after marriage when she secures David away from Eve and Aushima.

She was treating David like a hot commodity sold in the market that she must first secure before using.

Therefore I realised as long I managed to use this to my advantage, it would be my win.

"So tell me now?"

"Do you really want to go back?"

"Eve and Evelyn may have already stationed guards at many places in the city, especially around your house to catch you as long as you are in sight."

Her face became pale as she heard me.

She realised her fate was already sealed the moment she decided to chase after Elandor.

She once again looked at the boy standing in front of her and thought,

'Were all these things….already anticipated by him?'

'No wonder he was so calm upon discovering me, he already knew what choice I would make after all this!'

'Just how much he planned to pull all of this shit?'

She knew she must have already been declared a fugitive by now and if she went back she would be directly arrested by guards and dragged to prison.

She wanted to live a happy life with her fiance and fall in love with him slowly after marriage but she was not that obsessed with this idea that she was willing to spend the rest of her life in prison behind the bars.

Her face changed many expressions.

Finally, her logic won over her obsession as she looked up and asked,

"What should I do?"

I smiled as this was the moment I had been waiting for.

I chuckled as I spoke,

"Follow me!"
