Chapter 130: You Have to Go After Her

*Jared*

I returned to the palace to check on Xander’s kids and make sure his Beta, Adrian, had started reconstructing the capital, as instructed.

It wasn’t my place to check on those things, but I felt like I owed him, seeing as he had to take off so soon after we beat back the rogue army.

“You look like my dad.” A small voice caught me off guard as I walked into the palace.

I turned and saw a young boy, about five or six, standing by the door.

“Oh, hey there, I didn’t see you. Who’s your dad?”

“The king. That makes me a prince.” He pointed to his chest.

I couldn’t help but smile. Seeing him reminded me of Eliza and my unborn child. At the same time, I was very happy to meet my own nephew.

“What’s your name, little prince?” I asked.

“I’m Wyatt.”

“It is very nice to meet you, Prince Wyatt. I’m Jared. I do know your father.” It was a bit of a fabrication.

I hoped that when Xander and Lena returned, I might actually get the chance to build a brotherly relationship with him.

“Why are you here?” Wyatt asked.

“Well, since your dad is traveling, I wanted to check on you and make sure everything is okay here.”

“We’re okay.” Wyatt nodded.

“Prince Wyatt, there you are!” A woman ran down the hall and grabbed his hand. “Your tutor has been looking everywhere for you.”

Wyatt looked down, his cheeks red.

“I don’t want to study. I miss my mom and dad.”

The nanny scoffed. “You need to study while they are away. Your father insisted.”

She half dragged him down the hall, not even sparing me a glance.

I waved to Wyatt. “It was nice to meet you. Maybe I’ll see you after your studies.”

He brightened and beamed a smile, waving back to me.

Watching the sharp, shrewd nanny practically drag Wyatt away made me cringe. Was that what life was like as a prince, growing up with nannies and tutors, constantly having to study and train?

Maybe I had been hasty in thinking that growing up in a palace was easy and luxurious.

I met up with Beta Adrian. He assured me that all efforts were being made to rebuild the capital, but I was welcome to stay and oversee if that would make me feel better.

Xander seemed like he was a good judge of character. His Beta was more than capable.

I stayed at the palace for a few more days thinking everything over. Oddly enough, my heart hadn’t been ripped out and stomped on when Eliza rejected me.
