Zurinus' Bad Deeds

Ning and the rest were outside the palace, looking to leave.

Edward arrived behind them quickly. "Jasmine!" he shouted. "Are you leaving?"

"I'm sorry, Prince Edward. It is time I leave now," Jasmine said.

"Are you going to leave just like that?" Edward asked. "Not a goodbye. Not a single word of farewell?"

"I… I'm sorry. After what happened in there with Ning and your Grandfather, I did not think you would wish to speak with me."

"My grandfather is my grandfather, and I am me. We are two different people. Why would I hate you for what happened between the two of them?" Edward asked. "Please, do not leave like this."

Jasmine hesitated.

Ning looked at her for a moment. "Should I get rid of him?" he asked.

"NO!" Jasmine quickly turned around. "Don't do anything to him."

Ning smiled and turned toward Edward. "Prince Edward, if you would like to, you can come with us."
