Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Off they go 

Martin stared at William with a bit of emptiness in his eyes. She almost felt bad for him–if he hadn‘t threatened her earlier. As well as try to bargain for her life as if she was a prize to be won. It boiled her blood to sit here silently while they argued about her–but Beth flashed in her mind and she remained silent. She was good at that, she could be silent for her best friend even when her mind screamed at her to stand up for herself.  Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

“What can I offer you,” 

“Nothing. You can‘t offer me anything for her.” William leaned forward a little. “You can‘t buy her. You can‘t threaten me for her, you can‘t do anything that I would agree to. This issue is dead, you have nothing I would want more. And I will kill you if you think about trying to take her from me.” 

“There is ... there is nothing for me at the palace. There is nothing for me here or there–“ Martin glanced at Doris again. She kept her face free of pity, the last thing she needed was to encourage him. He eventually looked back at William. “My family is gone. Our father is on his death bed and you–my only brother–you would rather me dead than give up. You want this crown more than you want your family.” 

William said nothing. He only watched as Martin spilled out his feelings as if it was the first time in his life that he had ever said them out loud. Martin shifted in his seat and wiped his wet eyes aggressively.

“I wasted my life training to do something for my family, and now they‘re gone and I have nothing.” Martin leaned back in his chair as if his shoulders were starting to feel heavy. She could practically see the heavy weight he held there. 

“I tried to be perfect, but all I ever did was mirror what was expected of me. What‘s the point of this life if we can‘t enjoy it? Will you enjoy being king for our people? Can you handle all that responsibility that never ends? All it does is crush you until you‘re six feet under and no one is left to defend your name. Our father was wise to not let it affect him—“ 

“It did, though. Every single day of his life. Ever since he lost his mate he tried to act as if it didn‘t but it did. He was not one to ever escape the weight of responsibilities.” William said, a bit more gently. “You don‘t have to be something you don‘t want to be anymore, Martin. You don’t have to live for other people when you can live for yourself. Even if it‘s not at the palace, there‘s a place for you somewhere that won‘t feel like a chore..” Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

“Who am I if not the next king? Who am I if I can‘t hold on to the title that was forced upon me? Now my brother wants to take the only thing I have left in this life. I’m nothing without that crown and you know it. You‘ve always known it, I don‘t understand why you would leave me with nothing.” 

“You‘re telling me that you want to rule this kingdom by yourself? Your mother isn‘t here to pull your strings. Our brother isn‘t here to whisper in your ear of what is right or wrong. Do you truly believe you would know what‘s best for this kingdom without them?”
