The Cruel Prince
Author by Natalie Ernison
“Jenner Reuel!! You are a disgrace to our family name, the Reuel Baston family of white elf!”
Splasshhh.. splashhh… lash after lash on Jenner Reuel's dashing back, well that handsome man is Jenner.
“Father, please... I have hurt her father.. all for the sake of father.. Didn't you say that you would give me a chance, father.” Jenner whispered.
“Good.. it's great if he feels hurt and he ends up leaving you, it means she's not being sincere!”
“No father, my words have been too much to her.. I beg you, father...”
“Stop Jenner! You shouldn't be dealing with that damned family!!” his father snapped.
Jenner was born into a white elf family. The father is a fairy, but his mother is an ordinary human. So Jenner was born as a human who also actually has supernatural powers.
However, the father had sworn not to use their fairy powers, moreover they lived like normal humans. Their extended family is also quite respected, but no one knows the reality of Reuel Baston's family story.
… … …
Flashback…
The story of Jenner's father's past with his human mother...
“Father I love that human very much, may I edit it and make her my wife?” said the handsome man as he knelt before his father.
“Reel! Don't you know that our family is descended from the white elf. I don't want this intermarriage to be a problem!” said the father who was reluctant to give his blessing.
Father Baston
“But father, the woman is already pregnant ..” said the man named Reuel.
“Pregnant!” said the father with wide eyes, almost did not expect that his eldest son would impregnate an ordinary human.
“How could you disgrace the Baston family!”
Argh.. the father groaned as he sat on the throne, massaging his forehead.
“Please forgive me father, I am very guilty father. But I have to be responsible for the pregnancy .. “ his son whispered.
“What can I do, everything has happened. However, can you meet my father's requirements?” said the father, trying to calm himself for a moment.
“Ready father, whatever it is, I will try to fulfill it ..” Reuel said with full confidence.
“If that human woman gives birth to a son, name him “Jenner Reuel”. However, don't use the name Baston, because he is the child of a mixed marriage between a fairy and a human...”
“Will my family be ostracized by father ..” said the son.
“No Reuel, but father doesn't want the demon nation to bother him. Let the child live a normal life.”
“Then what about dad...”
“One more thing… This pendant is a necklace of protection for my future grandson, but don't ever use fairy powers.”
“Then how about father? if he finally finds out, that he is a descendant of a fairy?”
“Actually, in the body of my future granddaughter will flow the supernatural power of the fairies. However, do not occasionally tell him about this. Except, he is in danger of death and concerned with our family life. Even that, he should not be careless, because out there there are many savage creatures .. “said the father gave the mandate to his eldest son.
Finally, Reuel Baston married a woman from the human race. From the fruit of their love, was born a boy who is very handsome, and also always loved by women. The handsome boy lives a very normal life, like an ordinary human. Even his parents never told anything about family background.
Until finally the boy grew older and more handsome, Jenner Reuel.
Jenner Reuel, living a normal life and just like humans in general. Go to school, work, and socialize with people. But one day Jenner has fallen in love with a woman who is beautiful and also graceful and gentle.
Jenner became more and more curious about the woman figure, he was very interested in the woman personality.
Over time, Jenner was finally reunited with the woman he loved so much, but in fact the girl who had become a complete woman he could no longer meet.
He struggles to be able to meet the beautiful woman, but the obstacles in front of him are beyond his expectations. That woman is Nathasya Breeliey, the woman he idolizes.

Until one day…
“Father, please help me father...” a man whispered as he fell at his father's feet.
“What is it Jenner my son, why do you look so agitated?”
“My father loves a woman, but it's so hard for me to be with her.”
“Then why my son, aren't there many other women?” said the father in a calm tone.
“No dad, he's different! I want it..” Jenner whispered desperately pleading.
“Jenner my son, you are my only son, what can you do?”
“If I tell you about my enemy with that dark creature and only because of a woman. I definitely won't be ready...” Jenner thought.
Jenner tries to convince her father to lend her a hand, but not for real reasons.
“Father, there is a dark woman who always bothers me, I can't stand it. I want her to stay away from me dad..” Jenner's words suddenly made his father very surprised.
“What do you say, dark woman! how did you find out about them?” said the father, looking at each other with his mother.
“Dad, better just tell Jenner now ..” said Jenner's mother gently.
“As I thought, father and mother must be keeping something from me...” Jenner thought.
Jenner, you are actually a child of mixed marriage between humans and supernatural beings.
“What!!” Jenner widened his eyes in shock, it was unexpected even beyond his mind.
“Yes, father is a descendant of a white fairy, in love with your mother who is an ordinary human. This is a pendant given to you from your grandfather, the Baston family.” His father also gave the pendant necklace to Jenner.
“Father, what is the use of this pendant?” Jenner said, lifting up the locket.
“We are a family of fairies, and we have the power to fight evil supernatural beings, even darkness. So, if danger threatens you, take out this locket and your opponents will shriek. However, don't try to get in touch with the bloodthirsty creatures.”
“Okay dad, I understand. Thank you for everything you do.”
Jenner was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and that's when she began to brave the dark creatures.

However…
“Get out you damned fairies!!” someone shouted from outside the gates of the Jenners, the mansion of his father and mother.
“Father, that voice doesn't seem like an ordinary human!” said the wife as she turned to her husband, namely Reuel Baston.
“Who is it, bun, why is it this night?” said the husband, and immediately got out of bed with his wife.
Cekreak… Jenner's father opened the door, and there were some magical creatures and some even wearing jet black robes.
“I wouldn't have come here, if it weren't for the disturbance ..” said the figure of the man in the robe.
“Oh, Mr. Father Crossadio, what bothers you?” Jenner's father said as he put his arm around his wife.
“You yourself know, Mr Reuel Baston.” Said the figure of the man in the robe, who was the father of Zakra Crossadio.
Father Crossadio
“Does Mr Baston think it's a good thing to take a bride who doesn't belong to him?” Zakra's father said with a crooked smile.
“Sorry Mr Cross, I don't understand.”
“Well, I just came here to warn the white elf family not to get into trouble with the Dark Realm's big family!” said Zakra's father with darkened eyes even his fangs began to appear.
“If there's something you don't like, we'd better talk about it, sir..” Jenner's father said in a polite tone.
“Master Baston, from the start our family didn't want to fight each other, but if your son dares to seriously hurt my son the prince of darkness, then I as his father will not remain silent!”
“Calm down Mr. Cross..—”
“Stop Father Baston, this time I warn your family to immediately return my son bride-to-be!!”
Whosss…. Zakra's father and his servants left with a gust of wind and black smoke.
~ ~ ~
“Father, why does Jenner dare to have a relationship with that dark creature ..” his wife whispered with a pale face.
“My dear, calm down. Looks like I'll have to discipline Jenner...”
Reuel Baston, the father of Jenner Reuel, was furious when he heard the warning directly from the Crossadio family, the bloodsucker. The kinship that has been maintained for tens or even hundreds of years is now chaotic.
Plakhh… the sound of a slap.
“Quickly leave that woman! otherwise, father will come directly to your mansion!!” threatened the father with anger.
“But dad, I love her..-”
“Shut up!!, you even dare to lie to father! if tomorrow dad still finds out there's a woman in the mansion, then dad will step in! Don't blame I if you're rude.” Said the father warned Jenner.
All night Jenner was at his father's mansion and also went back to his best friend Lionerd's house. His mind was very confused, as if all his struggles to be with Nathasya, really would soon disappear.
Argghh… “damn!” Jenner screamed and he was totally screwed, until finally...
***
“Young master! Miss Nathasya ran outside and looked very angry, sir!” said some of his servants.
“Just let her go, maybe it's better ..” Jenner whispered.
Jenner was forced to use a method that hurt Nathasya very much, so that Nathasya could get away from him without having to care about her anymore. The problems he is now facing are not easy, his struggles have been completely destroyed. Jenner was really messed up, and was in a lot of pain over Nathasya's departure. He struggled so hard to be with Nathasya, even risking his own life. However, everything was completely beyond his expectations.
Zakra will not remain silent and resigned to the situation, he actually managed to get the Jenner family to act to separate Jenner from Nathasya.
---------
“Father…. please father…” Jenner whispered with tears in his eyes, he was so devastated and didn't know what to do anymore.
“Father, enough father! don't hurt our son again!!” Mother whispered as she ran to Jenner who was now slumped over.
“Mother, let him know the risks of his actions ..” said the father as he hugged his mother.
“No dad! don't hurt my son!!” the mother sobbed.
“Mother, please return Nathasya to me…” Jenner whispered in a pleading tone.
“Stop Jenner! You can't go out until you realize what you've done!!”
Bruakkk… the sound of the Baston family's door slamming.
“Nathasya… it turns out that this is the path of our love..” Jenner whispered as he crawled towards the door, holding back the pain in his back, due to the whipping of his father.

“Zakra Residence Mansion”
“How could my son be lying stiff like this, what happened!” said Zakra's father with a sad face, but with a very gripping aura.
“My king, this child is just like you who will not give up easily to get something.” Said the mother of the queen of darkness.
“Queen mother, why look so caring, don't you want to find a handsome human!” said the king of darkness / Zakra's father.
“What do you mean my dear king, it can't be like that, my king has been very satisfying to me ..” said the queen while clinging to the burly body of the king of darkness.
“My queen, why did our son fall into a feud with the Reuel Baston family?”
“Reuel Baston!!” the queen mother was so surprised when she heard the name Reuel, which she knew was Jenner's last name.
