My Evil Boy Toy

Peggy POV

I was shocked when grandpa told me about his illness. He went inside the plane while I was standing at the bottom of the stairs. I couldn't continue to make a single step.

Am I still hesitating? Of course not! The guilt was consuming me again, that's why. I left grandpa without even thinking how it would affect him.

"Why are you standing there? Are you hesitating?" Kyle suddenly asked.

I didn't notice he was standing in front of me. They went inside ahead of me and Caden was already in the plane. Maybe he noticed I was taking so long and got tired of waiting.

"K-Kyle grandpa has-" I stutter and tears were starting to fill my eyes.

"Don't cry! Don't you dare cry in front of him. The only reason he kept on going after he was diagnosed was because he wanted to see you and Caden. He was waiting for the day you would come back so he always said that he cannot die yet. You have no idea what happened after you left. It wasn't just Jayden, it's all of us. This is not the right time to talk about it but if you want to know everything, I suggest you start moving and go inside the plane. If I need to drag you inside I would do it. For grandpa." He yelled in a commanding and firm voice.

He turned around to go back inside the plane. I was still feeling guilty so I grabbed him by his hand. He looked at me as I wiped the tears from my eyes. I took a deep breath and tried to speak even if I felt like there was something in my throat.

"I'm sorry. Kyle, I'm really sorry. I would never leave our family again!"

He raised his hand and I thought he would hurt me but he patted my head and smiled.

"Let's make grandpa happy while he's still around. I'm sorry I yelled at you. We'll talk about you and Jayden when we arrive at the palace. Come on!" Then he reached out his hand and I reached back.

When the plane took off, I wasn't thinking about Jayden. I will set aside our issues and will focus on grandpa's health for now.

At the palace, we were greeted by a group of royalties.

"Princess Margaret, welcome back to Flousia!" A man greeted me. 

He's about five feet and ten inches tall. He has brown hair, green eyes, roman shaped nose and thin lips.

I frowned. I don't really know the guy but he was smiling widely at me

"Margaret this is Prince George, Duke of Panaham. This is the first time you meet him but I always talk about my little sister so he knows a lot about you." Kyle introduced me to the man in front of me.

"It was a pleasure to finally meet you." He said while reaching out his hand.

I took his hand for a handshake and smiled. "Pleasure to meet you as well, Prince George."

'Click' I heard the sound of a camera and when I looked at who took the photo, it was Caden.

"Hey honey, what's that for?" I asked, looking at the little guy.

"Nothing mommy. I just want to record everything while we are here. I want to send some pictures to Alira." He answered.

I giggled and turned to the Duke. "I'm sorry. My son loves taking photos. I could ask him later to delete the picture, I understand you might want some privacy."

"No. It's okay." Then he turned to Caden and smiled. "Could you take one more picture of me and your mom? I would like a copy as well, if it's okay?"

Caden sweetly smiled back and nodded. I really wanted to go to my room and rest but I know it would be rude of me to decline a Duke.

To my surprise, he put his arms into my waist when he stood beside me. I didn't feel any malice at all. Flousians show their respect differently. Giving a kiss on the cheek, hugging, clinging arms, etc were gestures of greetings to them.

Caden took multiple shots and passed it to George. I don't know why but Caden seems to like the guy.

"By the way, Princess Margaret, I would like to ask if you would like to tour around town on the twentieth? A lantern festival will be celebrated there." George asked.

I wanted to decline but I saw grandpa smiling and nodding as if saying to accept the offer. I couldn't say no to him so I agreed.

"Sure. I haven't gone to any lantern festival. Are they going to fly the lanterns at night?" I asked.

George's face lit up and I saw the excitement in his eyes. I actually felt at ease seeing him smile like that.

"Yes! Thousands of sky lanterns will be released at night. You could also fly your own."

I got excited from what he said. I have been wanting to see floating lights since I was a kid.

"Then it's settled. You could pick me up in the afternoon." I said. For some reason, his smile is contagious. I actually forgot the things in my mind.

"How about you, your highness? Would you like to come with us? You and the Crown Princess could go on a date. The people will be glad to see you." He asked Kyle.

I felt relieved when he asked Kyle. Most men wouldn't want to have a companion, especially the girl's brother. I know he likes me, I could sense it. I dated different guys every week in high school so I already know if they like a girl or not. I didn't expect he would actually ask Kyle.

"Would you like to come?" Kyle asked Emily.

Emily smiled and nodded. "Yes. I haven't visited the town people for a month now. The kids might be sad already." She said.

I heard Emily often visits the town people and those living in urban areas. She became the Crown Princess for the masses and Flousia loves her. I remember she has been criticized a lot of times because of her previous engagement to Alexander Remington but she never gave up and showed everyone that she's the only woman fit to be the queen.

"Okay then see you in three weeks. I won't disturb you any further so you could rest. I know you're tired. It was nice meeting you again, Princess Margaret." Then George took my hand and kissed it.

"See you!" I replied while smiling at him.
