Honey : The Empire's Treasure 281 Going Dutch

"Where….where is Kamryn?" Lula's eyes darted around the room as she laid on the on one of the healing center's beds.

Lady Jaelah looked at her her youngest daughter, and sighed.

"What have you done!" She smacked Lula on the arm.

"Ah! Mom, I just got out of the pod. Don't hurt me!" Lula exclaimed while rubbing her sore arm.

"Is this really hurting you! Think of what you have done to your sister!"

"I know mom...but I love him…" Lula hung her head down and whispered.

"Tsk! You fool, you have thrown away your family because a prince wants to toy with you…" Lady Jaelah gritted her teeth.

"No, mom, you dont understand…he-"

"Doesn't care about you...he has told me so."

"wha..no, thats...your lying…"

"Lula, I was at his palace and he readily agree to get you married to another."

"No, no! That's can't be true…" Lula voice kept getting smaller and smaller.

"Lula! Listen to me. You will marry the man he has set up for you because if you don't your sister will not let you live and I will not stand in her way this time. So choose carefully...understand?" With that Lady Jaelah walked away from her daughter's bed.

It had been h.e.l.l for her to convince Kamryn to not kill her sister. She had to countlessly a.s.sure her that Lula would be married off somewhere away from her for Kamryn to finally put an end to her vengeance.

Outside the healers' center, Jaelah raise her head to feel the sunny on her face and the fresh air entering her lungs to tried and remove the bad mood that has been hanging around her lately.

On opening her eyes, she saw a familiar pet.i.te figure making her way across the academy's courtyard.

Is that bi*ch still here…!

Deciding to follow after the departing figure, Lady Jaelah moved around the school to spy.

"Mika…" A male's voice called out.

Surprised and curious at who Mikaela is meeting up with, Lady Jaelah tried to move in closer for a better look. Seeing the embolism on the man shoulder, she gasped in shock. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Prince Ailwin…!

Caught by surprise at the unexpected evidence in front of her eyes, Lady Jaelah wanted to rushed out and confront Mikaela but a person's hand pulled her back.

"Mother…"

"Kamryn…? What are you doing here?"

"This is my school remember?" Kamryn looked over her mother's shoulder to see Prince Ailwin and Mikaela talking.

"Ugh...why is he with her again…"

"Again? They have met before?"

"En… They even had lunch together."

"This doesn't make any sense. What would Prince Ailwin want with Mikaela? Didn't he want to marry you?"

Kamryn thought about what her mother was saying as she had thought that way too. However, something Thallan said to her the other day had Kamryn questioning herself.

"Mother, did Prince Ailwin ever official ask for my hand in marriage?"

"What are you talking about, there was news about it all over the capital back home…" Jaelah didn't realized she just called the Amara household her home still.

"...but did he ever send father an official letter…"

Lady Jaelah thought back to the time when her daughter was envied by everyone and news went around about the two princes fighting for her hand in marriage. At the time she only remembered seeing Prince Thallan's letter.

"I don't believe I ever saw Prince Ailwin's letter…" Jaelah looked at her daughter wondering where she was going with this.

Kamryn thought back to the day Thallan slapped after leaving Dean Eolith's office.

"I just found out I married the wrong one…." Thallan's words had bothered her ever since that day.

"Mother I don't think Prince Ailwin ever wanted to marry me…"

"What? What are you talking about if not you than who?….wait you mean…" Lady Jaelah turn to look back at Mikaela and Ailwin but they were already walking away.

"Mikaela!? He wants to marry Mikaela, but she's not even of marriageable age yet!" Why her out of all people? I was hoping to get Lula to marry him!

"Mother, Thallan complained about marrying the wrong sister one time, I didn't understand it then but since…." Kamryn tried to control her anger as she spoke about her sister and her husband together, "Lula was already with him and Sienna is still on house arrest. I believe the sister he was talking about is Mikaela."

"Wait, why would Prince Thallan want to marry Mikaela?"

"I don't know…" Kamryn shook her head, "but those two definitely know each other." Kamryn remembered the sweet way Prince Ailwin had looked at Mikaela and she couldn't help but be envious.

That should be my place...I should have married Prince Ailwin…

"Kamryn, come let's see if we can find out more information." Lady Jaelah wanted to follow the three departing figure when Dean Eolith's voice stop her in her tracks.

"Lady Jaelah!" Dean Eolith came from behind the two women.

"Dean Eolith..."

"You can't be thinking leaving without paying for your bill, right?"

"Dean Eolith, I have already told you to deliver the bill to Prince Thallan! He will handle the bil-"

"Lady Jaelah, Prince Thallan sent the bill back. He said this was a family dispute, third parties shouldn't be responsible."

Whwhat third parties!? It's your fault!

Lady Jaelah held in her anger and looked at her oldest daughter.

"Kamryn, why don't you pay the bill?"

Seeing her mother's desperation, Kamryn sighed and grabbed the bill. Glimpsing the outrageous amount at the bottom of the bill, Kamryn's hand that was about to pay, stopped.

Why is it so much?...Did we really damage that much?

She didn't have a lot of wealth left in her reserves. Thallan hadn't given her any thing since their wedding and she could no longer go back to her father for money.

Turning away from her mother's sight, Kamryn made adjustments to the bill before handing it back to Dean Eolith. 

Looking down at the tablet, Eolith smirk.

"Lady Jaelah, please pay the rest."

"The rest?" Grabbing the bill, Jaelah saw that Kamryn had only paid half the amount of the bill.

"Kamryn!"

"Mother you can't expect me to pay for her half, I won't do it!" With that she walked away.

 "Lady Jaelah…"

"I heard you!" Huffing, Lady Jaelah had no other choice but to use a portion of the money Mano had given her for Lula's wedding to pay the bill.

"Here!" Pressing the tablet in Dean Eolith's hands, Lady Jaelah stomped away forgetting all about following Prince Ailwin and Mikaela.
