39 The engagement (part three)

"Will you marry me or not?" The prince let out once more.

The question came as a surprise. Jason stared at Amaru intently to hear what his reply would be. His heart was thundering in his chest hoping the ice man would say yes.

At that moment he couldn't care for his own heart. He just wanted the crown prince to be fine. His eyes looked pleadingly at Amaru begging him to say yes to stop the king from hurting himself.

He would never be able to live with it if any harm came to the prince because of him.

"I am not doing this right now," Amaru said sternly. He went down on his knees and touched the prince's chest. He let out some ice from his hand to his skin, enough to touch him but not hurt him.

The chilling feeling from thr cool ice gave Davion some of his senses back. He was able to breath again. The ice made him numb, the feeling of pain was still there but his mind was too focused on the ice.
