Jealousy is the best Policy

After a few days Jaywin had finally recovered though not fully healed he can now move more and walk better

Alexis was in the garden when suddenly a guy named Leo came and started chatting with Alexis

A few more minutes Jaywin arrived wanting to see Alexis when he saw Leo talking with Alexis and he's really close to him

Jaywin: Hey! What are you doing to Alexis!

He said angrily

Leo: woah dude calm down we were just talking

Jaywin glares at him menacingly

Jaywin: do you even know who I am, I'm Prince Jaywin

Leo: I know and I'm Prince Leo of the kingdom of beasts

Jaywin was shocked by the revelation that Leo just had told him, he was a Prince in the kingdom of the beasts

Alexis: Jay please calm down, Leo is here to visit me

Jaywin: what? Who even is he to your life?

Leo: I'm his best friend and I'm going to be his future husband soon.

Jaywin felt a sudden fear from what he just heard

Jaywin: what?!

Alexis: Leo! Stop messing with him! We're just friends Jay he's just kidding around

Jaywin: yeah I see that

He said while looking angry despite smiling

Alexis: anyways what are you doing here Jay?

Jaywin: oh yeah, I'm here to give you these

He pulled out a bouquet of flowers from his magic storage as well as some muffins

Alexis' eyes lit up when he saw the gift

Alexis: muffins! I love muffins!

Jawin smiled widely and looks at Leo

Jaywin approaches Leo and whispers to him

Jaywin: try and beat that Leo~ hehe

Leo looks at him with anger that he got Alexis' attention by giving him muffins which are his favorite dessert

Leo: you just got lucky

Jaywin: luck is not on my side it's just simply based on how much I know Alexis and we've been best friends since when we're children.

He smirks at Leo

Leo: whatever, but remember this I'm going to be his husband and you can't stop it, if your father agrees with it along with Alexis' parents consent we'll be married in no time

Jaywin was stunned when he heard the news

Jaywin: what?!

Leo: yes that's the truth my friend don't worry maybe we can make you our best man hehe~

Jaywin was too shocked to speak he didn't want to believe what Leo said to him so he rushed back to the royal Place without even informing Alexis

Alexis: Jay? Leo, where's Jay?

Leo: he had gone home I think he needs something from his father

Alexis: ohh ok then

In a few minutes Jaywin arrives in the Palace

Jaywin: father! tell me that Alexis is not going to marry Prince Leo

King: huh? Why not? He's perfect for Alexis they are both nobles and they're both smart and used healing magic

Jaywin: do you even have Alexis' consent?

King: Well not yet we need to ask him

Alexis suddenly enter the room with Leo all tied up in his vines

Alexis: my king, I'm sorry for barging in but I decline that proposal.

He said with angry eyes

King: but why?

Alexis: because I don't know him well and he's weaker than me

King: Well what do you want to do to make him prove himself?

Alexis smiles

Alexis: make him fight against Jay and if he wins I will agree to the engagement if not he'll be banned from any of my properties.

King: very well then

Alexis smiles and lets go of Leo

Jaywin: Well this is going to be fun hehe~

He said while looking at Leo menacingly like it seems that he's going to make Leo lose so hard

At the battle arena

Jaywin: get ready Leo I won't show any mercy to you

Leo: bring it on and may the best man win

They started to clash using magic and their swords

Jaywin: don't even trying using your sneaky clones against me

Jaywin gets the upper hand using his shadow magic which allows him to travel through different casts of shadows

After a bit

Leo: hehe look at that Jay is struggling

Jaywin: are you sure though?

Leo: huh?What do you mea-

Jaywin suddenly appeared behind him and pointed his sword at him

Jaywin: look at that duels over and you lose

Leo was devastated when he knew that he lost against Jaywin which mean he can't go near Alexis' properties anymore such as his house

Alexis: Well that settles it Jay wins the duel and Leo lost, which means I decline the engagement, end of discussion.

Jaywin smirks and leave with Alexis

Jaywin: Hey Alexis.. Can I ask you something?

Alexis: yeah sure what is it?

Jaywin: umm if you had a crush will you tell me about it?

Alexis: why is that?

Jaywin: uhh well I- uhh well I want to protect you

Alexis smiles widely

Alexis: hehe sure I will tell you if I do have a crush

Alexis pats his head and hugs him

Jaywin: Thanks for trusting me Alexis

Alexis: I'll always trust you no matter what comes to us both.

Jaywin blushes as he heard those words

Jaywin whispers the word I love you to himself without Alexis hearing it

Alexis: now let's go

Jaywin: to where?

Alexis: we're needed at the restaurant remember you asked me to go out with you

Jaywin: oh yeah I almost forgot

Alexis: let's hurry the reservation will not be there anymore if we don't go now

Jaywin: ok, ok let me change first hehe

Alexis: ok but hurry up please

Jaywin: yeah yeah I understand you muffin brain

Alexis: whatever bone head

Jaywin laughed when he saw Alexis calling him bone head while having a pouty face

After a bit Alexis and Jaywin arrived at the restaurant

Jaywin: we have a reservation for two

Waiter: ah yes Price Jaywin and Duke Alexis, we've been waiting this way please

They both sit at the table and ordered some food

Alexis: this place is pretty nice how did find it?

Jaywin: Well nobles have their ways especially the royal family.

Alexis: that kinda explains a lot being honest hehe, I kinda wish that they have muffins for dessert though.

Jaywin: hehe don't worry I know a place with one of the best muffins in the kingdom

Alexis: really? Let's go there after we eat, just thinking about it is making me drool haa~

Jaywin wipes his saliva

Jaywin: hehe you're so adorable when you day dream

Alexis: huh? Why are saying such nonsense, stop it Jay it's weird you know

Jaywin: hehe but it's true though, you're adorable

Alexis blushes as Jaywin keeps teasing him

Aexis: shut up Jay!

He said with a pouty face on

Jaywin: ok ok hehe but what I say is the truth, you're really adorable

He said while staring in Alexis' eyes

Alexis: fine whatever Jay just don't say things like that again

Jaywin: ok then hehe~

As they finished the food a noble approaches them

Sarah: it's nice to see you here Prince Jaywin

She said while bowing down

Jaywin: and you're?

Sarah: my apologies your highness I'm Sarah Von Leopard a pleasure to meet you, and I can say how nice of you to bring your servant here, you move out of that seat and bring me some drinks I'm a Barons daughter

She said with so much arrogance

Alexis: I'm sorry miss but you don't have the authority to tell me what I need to do

Sarah: ah how dare you not obey a noble if my father hears about this you'll be executed!

Alexis: it might be the opposite Sarah

Sarah: how dare you insult my father you're just a peasant you're beneath me

Alexis stood up and said

Alexis: you're the one who's supposed to be respecting me I'm Duke Alexis Star and not just a peasant I happen to be the personal Royal Medic of Jay here and I'm also his best friend

Sarah's jaw dropped as she heard what he said, she didn't know that Alexis has a higher position that her father and herself combined.

Sarah: my apologies I didn't mean to insult you!

Alexis: it's fine but never do things like that again and by the way without peasants this kingdom will fall without them people will just suffer because most of those peasants work as farmers and unlike nobles they're used to those kind of things.

Sarah: understood sir

Sarah runs away being embarrassed by what she did in front of the Prince and the Duke.

Jaywin: Well that was something, looks like you don't need me protecting you anymore hehe~

Alexis: Well since I'm a noble now I kinda have that kind of power and authority, but I'll only use it for good reasons like that

Jaywin: of course you will you're the royal medic after all hehe~

They left the restaurant and go straight to the bakery to buy some muffins

Alexis: oh... my...... God! ahhhh! I'm in heaven these muffins are so good~

Jaywin: hehe~ slow down now you might choke hehe~

Alexis didn't listen and kept munching onto two muffins at the same time

Jaywin: w-woah! slow down there Alexi you might choke I'm serious

As he was still munching suddenly he started to choke

Jaywin: ah! I told you so
