My Evil Boy Toy

"No! It can\'t be! Who the hell decided on this?" I yelled.

I couldn\'t believe who was chosen to be Kyle\'s heir. I held on to the command paper and read what was written in it. It was stamped with the king\'s royal seal, so the person in that proclamation was indeed the next ruler of Flousia.

"You gave the instruction. Choose from one of the royal family members, write it, and seal it. It\'s simple." Kyle said casually.

"Can you make that invalid? You are the king." I asked Kyle.

Kyle\'s expression changed.

"Are you crazy? You want me to dethrone him? Do you really want that? He will be stripped from his title and could never set foot in Flousia."

I looked at Jayden, sitting on the couch while rubbing his temple. He couldn\'t believe that the one chosen to be the next heir was seated next to him.

I looked at the chosen heir and walked towards him. Then I kneeled and held his hand. He looked at me with his innocent eyes.

"From now on, you are the crown prince of Flousia. Do you understand that?" I asked.

He frowned as if he was thinking about what I just said. I was unsure if he understood what that meant, but he suddenly smiled at me and nodded.

"Yes, mommy! I know what it means. I will be the next king of Flousia. His Majesty told me that I might need to stay here occasionally to have my lessons." Caden said with confidence.

I couldn\'t believe that the people I trusted would choose my son to be the next king. Kyle was right. I would not allow my son to be dethroned and exiled by his uncle. For now, I will accept his fate and go with the flow.

"Honey, how about Alira? You won\'t see each other for some time if you become the crown prince. Mommy and daddy would have to go back home after all this. Are you okay staying here with the King and Queen?" I asked to make sure he understood what would happen to him.

He nodded. I stared into his eyes, and I could see that he wanted it. He was okay with being the crown prince. I wasn\'t sure if he understood the weight of being one, though, but I would definitely support him if he wanted it.

I looked at Jayden, who was looking at me with a dark expression. I smiled at him and held his hand.

"Love? I know this is a bit complicated. Caden will be away from us, but he will still come home. He just needs to stay here for his royal lessons and stuff. We could also come with him, so it wasn\'t really that bad, right?" I said, convincing him.

He sighed deeply then looked at Caden, who was also staring at his father. He patted the little guy\'s head and carried him into his lap.

"Are you sure about this, son?" He asked.

"Yes, daddy! Then I will make Alira my queen!" He innocently said.

We laughed at what he said, but I was nervous. His life would always be in danger now that he\'s the crown prince.

"We can\'t announce it to the public yet. Until we find Benjamin, no one must know that my son is the crown prince." I firmly said while looking at Kyle and my father.

I was wondering why he was chosen. But thinking about it deeply, Caden might be the one who could unite all the people in Flousia. He\'s a royal, but his grandfathers were from the Mafia. He might be the one Flousia needs to maintain peace.

Kyle nodded and took a deep breath. I stood up and walked towards him.

"Are you okay with this? How about Emily?" I asked.

Emily was carrying Kyle\'s child. The one who should be the next king. But because of all that happened, their child would not hold the title of the crown prince or princess.

"She\'s actually happy about it. She wanted our child to have a normal life. She wanted the kid to be free." He answered.

"And you? How do you feel about this?" I asked again, looking directly to his eyes.

"Initially, I wanted my child to be the next king. But, Emily was right. Our kid deserved to be free from all of this. Don\'t worry; I\'m okay with Caden being my heir. I will take care of him." He said.

I could see the sincerity in my brother\'s eyes when he said those words. I sighed and embraced him tightly.

"Thank you, big brother." I whispered.

We heard a knock on the door, and we were surprised to see Alira come inside. She walked towards Caden, pouting.

"Are you going to stay here for good?" She asked.

Caden stood up and held Alira\'s hands, then stared into the girl\'s eyes.

"I promise to come back and see you. Will you wait for me?" He asked.

We were just looking at the two who were seriously talking to each other. I couldn\'t believe that they already had a strong connection at their age.

"You said you will marry me. What if you find someone else in here?" Alira asked.

Her eyes looked like she was about to cry when she told Caden what she felt.

"No. I will marry you! I promised, remember? But you also have to promise me. You will wait for me and be my queen." Caden responded.

"I promise." Alira answered.

Then the two made a pinky swear to each other. I looked at Jayden, remembering the time we had a pinky promise. He smiled at me and chuckled. Our son was just six years old, but he already had a love interest. Will they remain like this until they are older? I thought to myself.

"How about we make it official?" Kyle suddenly said.

I frowned. I couldn\'t understand what he meant by that.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Let\'s have an engagement party tomorrow night.." Kyle suggested.
