Ruvyn and Nieven headed together to Jimmy's room to wake him up and have breakfast together. The wizard gently knocked and opened the wooden door.
“Jimmy wake up—!” Ruvyn widened his eyes when he saw Jimmy sleeping, his head resting on the king's shoulder. They both slept on the little couch in front of the window.
The two lovers shared a confused look and kept staring at them. “The king spent the night here?” Nieven whispered, looking at how peaceful Taegen was, his black locks covering his eyes as his head was rested against the wall.
“It seems like it.” Ruvyn shrugged. “This is the strangest thing I have seen in so many years.”
Nieven nodded and ran his fingers through his long silver hair. “Should we wake them up?” he asked.
“I don't think it is a good idea.” Ruvyn shook his head. “I know how embarrassed the king would be.”
“Why isn't it a goo
Ruvyn left to help his lover and Jimmy found himself alone once again. He went for a walk around the garden and sat in front of the fountain. He kept reciting each colour's signification to keep them in his memory to understand the king better. From what he could see lately, his eyes mostly shifted to blue when he was around him. He smiled just thinking about the fact that the charismatic king might be shy with him.Jimmy watched the fairies work; some mopping the floor, others cleaning the cutlery or removing the dirty sheets and replacing them with cleaner ones. He admired how they flapped their silver-coloured wings every time they flew from one place to another. They were beautiful and felt bad for those who offered themselves to the Prince of Rosa.He went back inside after a while and headed to the library. He found a book he has been reading when he used to stay in the castle. He laid on the couch and continued the story.A few hours later, Jimmy found hi
A week after, Jimmy and Lord Nylian were having breakfast alone. The table was silent, only the sound of the juice glasses and cutlery setting on the marble table could be heard.The Duke was readingDreamy Day, the number one newspaper in the kingdom. The writers and editors made sure to include all the things that happen daily in Fantasia, such as the next game of Golden Basket; it's the same concept as the regular Basketball game on Earth, except that it's played in the air. The players are mostly fairies or creatures that have wings. They must pass a kind of silver balloon and throw it on the golden basket that floated peacefully in the air.This morning, the main page of Dreamy Day was occupied by the portrait of a young man with pink hair. Jimmy tried to read the title while Nylian read other articles.ROSA'S PRINCE ACCUSED OF MURDER.He remembered the conversation his friends had with King Taegen the previous week. The Pr
Taegen and Nylian had to attend a meeting, so Jimmy stayed alone with Ruvyn in his chambers."What have you done the last week, Jimmy?" Ruvyn asked."I have been reading more books about Fantasia's creatures. I was surprised that there were quite a lot." Jimmy laughed."I know, it is hard to know everything about them all.""I also have been writing other chapters of my story." the young man added."Is it the one you read to me the other day?!" the wizard's eyes shone brightly. "You don't know how much I have been waiting for the continuation of the story. I couldn't stop thinking about what that prince did when he caught his husband cheating on him with the royal secretary. I wished I could be a character in that book to strangle him."Jimmy laughed, seeing how mad his friend was. "I didn't bring the papers today, but I'm coming back here tomorrow with Lord Nylian and I will bring them to read together.""Good idea!" Ruvyn exclaimed. "By th
“Your Highness, you were accused of murdering one of your concubines.” the judge said.They were in the crown room, the King was standing next to the judge while Prince Ayas stood before them. The nobles were surrounding them and the family of the dead fairy were there too.“Your honour, I haven't done such a horrible thing,” Ayas said with a calm voice.“The other concubines certified that Lady Lithua spent the night in your chambers. You were the last person who saw her before her death.”The Prince sent a death glare to his concubines who were nervously standing behind him. “She indeed spent the night with me, but I made sure she left my chambers before dusk. You can ask my guards, they saw her leaving.”The judge looked at the guards, “Is it true gentlemen? You saw her leaving?”“Yes, your honour,” one of the guards spoke. “She left before dusk. She looked alri
“Oh my god! They kissed!” Ruvyn's eyes grew wider. “I knew that the king was the perfect man for him. I knew it!” he clapped his hands.(⚠ Spoiler: for those who want to read His Majesty.)Jimmy giggled. He just read a part when the rude king finally confessed to his brother's husband and kissed him against a tree.“I want this to happen to me,” Ruvyn said with a dreamy voice. “I wish Nieven was more open about his feelings.”“Why? Doesn't he tell you that he loves you?”“Rarely,” Ruvyn sighed. “He's very quiet. He helps me, protects me and always smiles at me, but he never says that he loves me.”“But he loves you!” Jimmy said. “Isn't it obvious?”Ruvyn stared at the boy and smiled sadly. “Sometimes, you want to hear that someone saying I love you,” he gently ruffled his hair. “You'll understand it when you'll
Jimmy didn't know what made the moment more magical, the fact that golden dust was falling from the rainbows, or the fact that the king of Fantasia just kissed his lips.He felt his heart bursting inside his chest when Taegen stared at him with his beautiful purple eyes, when he gently touched his cheek, caressed his hair and closed the gap between them.Jimmy only read about kisses or maybe sometimes saw one in a movie. In his books, he always considered a kissing scene between the main characters as something very important in the story. He would surprisingly get so happy and excited about it like he was the one living it. Now, it was different—better.Having Taegen's lips on his, kissing him gently and softly like he was the most fragile creature in the world. The way he was cupping his cheek with his hand just made him want to lean on it forever. The way his other hand was shyly squeezing his thigh made things even better.Jimmy didn't know what to do, he
The next day, Nieven went to the nursery to check on his patients, a cook who burnt his hand and a pregnant fairy. He gave them the herbs he spent the night mixing for them."This burn is very serious so it will take time to heal," he said, examining the ogre's hand. "Just make sure not to expose your skin to the sun.""Alright." the cook sighed."How about the baby? Does he still kick your belly?" the healer smiled at the female."He is already strong," the fairy laughed. "I cannot wait to give birth.""One more month and we will welcome him among us." Nieven smiled. "Just be patient and rest well please.""I heard the king has changed lately," the cook spoke. "The maids said that he is more smiley and relaxed.""Oh, right! He even wished me a good morning earlier!" the fairy exclaimed.Nieven rubbed his chin. "I wonder what is going on," he mumbled. "I spend most of my time in my study, this is why I don't know what is happen
When Jimmy opened his eyes, the only thing he saw was that the room was different from his. It looked bigger and brighter. The walls were decorated with beautiful and strange paintings where multicoloured flowers were moving and shining. He felt an arm around his waist and then he remembered how the duke insisted on him to spend the night in his chambers. He felt his warm breath against his neck and the nice scent of lavender coming from his long hair.Jimmy nervously stared at him, he looked more calm and peaceful than he usually was. He could see how long his lashes were now that his eyes were closed and how thin his lips were. Nylian was one of the most beautiful males he had ever seen in his entire life, and also the second one to make him feel so confused— after the king of course.Speaking of him, now he finally had the time to think about what happened the day before. He was excited to spend the afternoon with the king but he didn't expect all those surpri
