Capítulo 54: What To Do Now

***ALEX'S POV***

"Come now, Princess, we need to hurry back." Alina was urging me on as she glared at Jake's back. "What was it that the man wanted to talk about with you? I..if you don't mind me asking." It seemed that Alina didn't like Jake for his bold behavior earlier, and she was letting that get the best of her. And she was even starting to be a little bold and brazen when she spoke to me.

"He wanted to know about my curse. He is going to help me. And I have met him before, I just had not told anyone about it. Ha ha, isn't that funny?" I was trying to make it so that Alina stopped distrusting Jake. If he was going to be working with me from now on, I didn't want Alina to get upset and tell the king and queen about all of this.

"You know him?" She looked suspicious at first. "W..well, I guess that you did look at him like he was familiar. I never knew that you had met him before."
