She glanced over at her siblings, noting their conversation. She wondered why they were talking amongst themselves and not paying attention to the woman in the corner of the room. Then again, it wasn't like any of them could possibly understand what the woman was saying, especially when they weren't paying attention to her.She turned her attention back towards the woman in the corner. Suddenly, she felt herself being pushed forward onto her knees before falling backwards onto the ground with a yelp."Wake up, Your Majesty." The woman ordered harshly as she grabbed Celine by the shoulders.A moment later, the older woman let go of Ariana's shoulders, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her behind her as she made her way towards the staircase. The blonde struggled against her grip, wanting nothing more than to run back to her siblings and demand answers from them, to find out what was going on, but found that she couldn't move. After all, the older woman easily overpowered her. The
"The woman from yesterday." Celine replied hesitantly. "I don't know what she's doing here. I mean... She seems like a noblewoman. Why does she seem so interested in me though?" She trailed off."I guess she just wants to make sure you're okay." Her brother suggested."But why? Doesn't she know that I'm married?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.He hesitated briefly before replying. "Maybe she knows."The ravenette rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Just let's go now.""Wait, I forgot my book!" Her brother exclaimed, running out of the dining hall and disappearing somewhere outside."Prince Roman! You shouldn't have forgotten your book!" His mother called after him, chasing after him quickly."Sorry Mother." He apologized, returning seconds later holding his copy of The Little Prince in his hands.Celine rolled her eyes as she gazed over at the beautiful painting on the wall next to them. "That looks amazing." She commented.He nodded eagerly, taking his seat next to her once again. "Rig
"Thank you." They both responded, bowing their heads back.He then retreated into the shadows as they slowly made their way out the door and made their way towards the throne room.Roman and Celine walked together silently, exchanging glances occasionally. Neither of them uttered a word until they arrived at the doors of the throne room. The two of them entered and bowed before walking towards their respective seats. Once they were seated, they heard footsteps coming towards the both of them. They looked up to see their parents approaching them from behind, smiling at them kindly."Good afternoon Celine." Their mother greeted."Good afternoon." Celine replied simply, returning their smiles."How've you both been?" The queen inquired with a soft smile."We've been well," Roman replied. "Thanks for asking." He added with a slight smirk, receiving a playful glare from his mother. "How are you mom? How's business?" He asked curiously.The queen shrugged. "It's fine." She responded, gl
As he watched his wife peacefully snoring away, he found himself starting to drift off to sleep. "Dad?" He murmured softly, reaching up and stroking the edge of her hair with his thumb tenderly. "If we decide to marry, does that mean you guys will move away from the Dawn?" He asked cautiously.The queen shifted slightly before responding. "We'll need to discuss that with your grandmother, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind staying here if you really want her to." She told him gently, her voice laced with concern. "Why? Do you have something else in mind?" She wondered softly.Roman turned his head to face his wife, gazing into her warm brown eyes with a small smile on his lips. "Yeah actually. I've never met someone who was able to convince me to go back to my old kingdom, but I can't help but feel happy whenever I think about spending my life with you." He whispered.The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at him fondly. "And what makes you think that I'm going to be able to
"I'll always come back to you, no matter what. It may not seem like much now, but I'll always come back to you, Celine."The queen couldn't contain her smile as she gazed lovingly at her husband. She knew that deep down he probably wasn't joking. She knew that he truly meant every single word he said. And she loved every part of him for it.After a few moments of comfortable silence, they both heard the familiar sound of footsteps approaching their room.Roman groaned slightly. "I suppose they're coming soon." He commented tiredly.The queen nodded, placing a tender kiss upon his forehead before climbing out of his embrace."I'll be right back." She said, making her way towards the door.Roman sat up slightly as she exited the room, stretching his limbs slightly. He stared up at the ceiling for a while, letting his thoughts wander. It only took him a short while to realize that something was off about the entire situation. Something felt odd and out of place, but for the life of him
Silence fell between them for several seconds. Finally, the king broke it. "So where are they staying? Is it alright if I take a look around? I haven't seen them in a while." He asked.The queen blinked briefly in response, glancing back up at him once more. "They're staying in our chambers." She informed.The king raised an eyebrow slightly. "In your chambers?" He repeated."Yes, why wouldn't they?" Celine replied curiously."Because," The king began, but he suddenly paused, closing his mouth tightly. He let out a long sigh before continuing, "Never mind. They're staying in our rooms, I suppose it doesn't matter. We'll go together tomorrow and check everything out. In the meantime, do you think you could prepare some food for them?" He suggested."Of course father." The queen agreed readily.The King nodded. He extended his arm forward, grasping onto Ariana's wrist tightly, causing the woman to flinch. "We will continue this later." He uttered darkly before turning around and leav
Celine shrugged nonchalantly before returning her gaze to the sky. She stared at the sky thoughtfully, watching as the clouds moved slowly across the blue expanse above her."You can go inside now," The king instructed.The boys nodded dutifully."I'm gonna miss you so much, dad." The prince spoke softly as he stood up from the ground."Hey, don't cry." The king admonished, frowning slightly. "Everything's going to be just fine." He reassured him gently, reaching out to put a comforting hand on the prince's shoulder."I know." The prince mumbled."Come here." The king beckoned. The prince obliged, moving closer to his father and allowing the king to pull him close in a hug. "Be strong. Be brave." He whispered."Will do, Father," The prince responded quietly. "I won't make a fuss or anything." He assured him, glancing up at the older man.The king pressed his lips together firmly. He swallowed thickly, taking a deep breath before releasing the prince and standing upright, wiping awa
The queen frowned. "Who?" She questioned in surprise.He glanced nervously between her and Roman for a second. "His Highness Prince Andres."The queen froze in shock at the name, her eyes wide in disbelief."Oh," She said quietly in realization.The royal guard nodded. "May I come in, Your Majesty?" He requested nervously.The queen quickly nodded, stepping back. He opened the door completely, walking in slowly.The queen stepped aside, gesturing for him to walk past her.As soon as the king was past the doorway, the queen closed the door behind them. Her hands shook slightly, causing the guards to look concernedly between her and the boy standing in front of her.Andres turned his attention away from the door. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on the queen, who still looked rather shaken by the fact that he had been standing right there in front of them. He gave a slight nod before turning his focus back towards the king, who was looking at him cautiously, as if waiting for
