"The most wasted of days is one without laughter." ~ E. E Cummings.-"It saddens me beyond any doubt to stand before you here addressing this issue." The King sighed looking at all the thousands of eyes that stared at him expectedly."My son Prince Alexius Nikoloudis the second and his fiancée Lucia Andreou were blessed with beautiful two little boys just before dawn yesterday." The crowd gasped, as whispers spread like wild fire. The King was not in support of children being born out of wedlock therefore he had today Gregory to include in his speech that they were engaged. He had to lead by example for his people."As you know Acamas has had several feuds with Greece and therefore or first thought was protecting his soon to be wife and unborn children. Which leads to the explanation why no one had been informed-" People in the crowd nodded and whispers audible."The little Princes have gone missing, which leads us to believe maybe keeping their union a secret still has not worked in
"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." ~ E. M. Forster.-"I love you so much my love and I hate to see you cry like this." The Prince said holding her close in his bare arms. She didn't say anything and continued sobbing but after a moment she finally raised her head."Alex-" She whispered. He immediately gave his attention to her. "I don't think we should be together." She said with a sob, he stared at her with hurt but he promised himself, he would never let her go."They took our babies, Alex-" She whimpered. "I had not even given them a second glance... I had not even fed them for the first time. There are so many things I didn't get to do with them. I hadn't even seen Theda opening his eyes-" She cried RELENTLESSLY. The Prince felt powerless, there was nothing he could do to ease her pain, his pain their pain. She was in such a vulnerable state, it hurt him seeing her like this. he knew the only thing he could d
"Remember, no matter where you go, there you are." ~ Earl Mac Rauch.-Lucia could not sleep after the argument that had occurred with Prince Alexius. Moreover she felt regretful of the words she had thrown relentlessly at him. she loved him.Lucia was caught in the moment of weakness and anger, she just needed someone to blame. Someone to accuse. It didn't dawn onto her what she had done until she woke up to an empty spot. Lucia felt remorseful, they were in this together and instead she made the Prince feel like the enemy; instead she pinned every crime onto him. He had been trying his best to keep her at comfort, she forgot that he was in pain too. What would have happened if they both broke down into hysteria and cried like what she had been doing. He was strong for her, someone had to be rigid in this time of calamity. Lucia stared at the high ceiling, she didn't want to wake up. She didn't know how she would face him but all she knew was she had to apologise. It had been two da
"We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light." ~ Earl Nightingale.-The King entered the empty chapel where he found his son seated in a far corner. His head pressed against the bench that sat infront of him. He looked in distress, with him an inhaler in hand that he kept shaking over and over repeatedly but he wasn't using it. King Dysmas had not made a move or a step, he stood near the wooden door staring at his son who seemed oblivious to his presence. A statue of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ stood out front on the pulpit. A maroon carpet adorned the pulpit, a few green plants laid just next to the 6ft windows in the chapel. The King took a slow soft steps towards where Prince Alexius sat. Prince Alexius blonde hair was perfectly styled, his attire formal as always, the royal rings on his left hand, he looked perfectly fine except when he lifted his head up to look at the person who had been disturbing his peace; his once sapphire blue ey
"Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have." ~ Eckhart Tolle.-It had not stopped raining in the independent city of Acamas. singing the blues of sorrow."You can't leave!" Lucia muttered her voice breaking into a cry. She held onto Alexius like her life depended on it. It had already been a full week without any news of their twins. The royal guards had already started searching the fields and forests for any bodies. As much as it hurt the Prince he demanded of it. Everyone seemed to be giving up but he didn't want to, he would never, not on his watch. "I have to, Lucia." Prince Alexius said laying a soft somber kiss on her forehead. "I promised you that if we didn't find them within a full week, I'd confront them and if nothing comes off it... demand war." He replied in a monotonous tone. They both weren't able to sleep, dark circles under their eyes. "No, what if they hurt you ?" Lucia questioned still not willing to pull away from him."I can't just sit here and d
"Instead of loving your enemies, treat your friends a little better." ~ Edgar Watson Howe.-Kyra never ever thought she would be doing this but here she was knocking on the wooden door to Khristian's home. He always made her feel better, he always looked out for her no matter what and this time wouldn't be any different. She looked at the house next door, she should be visiting her mother but she didn't want such negativity at the moment. Kyra needed to see Khristian, it and been a while and she felt bad about the way she had treated him last time. She hid her pregnancy well, after all she was only a couple of weeks. Elias didn't give her time of the day, he was always out doing 'royal' so called duties. She didn't want to get in his way after the way he treated her before... she couldn't afford to anger him in anyway but only please him. With Princess Amelia gone, he was even more vile. She remembered the faithful day when he stormed into their room. "Remove your garments ?" He sa
"No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do little." Edmund Burke.-"My Prince, King Demetre Miaoulis III said he invites you for dinner so you can discuss whatever conflicts the two kingdoms may have-" A royal servant informed Prince Alexius in his royal suite hotel. They had only arrived four hours ago and had informed the Royal family of their arrival as not to alarm them by thinking they were planning some bargain on their grounds."Alright, did he say anything else ?" The Prince questioned."No, my Prince." "Did he seem nervous or suspicious ?" Prince Alexius asked once again."If anything, he seemed calm my Prince." The Prince sighed, he only wanted to find his sons and nothing more and this was their last option. It hurt him deeply. He gently closed the door, over three to four royal guards stood by the door or in the hallway. His royal presence brought alot of attention. Prince Alexius noticed how much civilized Greece was with many
"Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die." ~ Salvador Dali.-King Demetre Miaoulis III of Greece walked gracefully but most of all proudly expecting the couple to arrive. The couple that was in search of their twins, he retorted to himself. Prince Lukas Paraskevas walked right beside his father. "Father, Mother says she will not be attending this dinner..-" Prince Lukas paused. "She says we are unpropitious." He said in a low voice. His father's green eyes averted towards their dining hall."We are better off without your mother, if anything she will just ruin our plans." King Demetre retaliated. Prince Lukas knew better than to respond to his father when he looked so determined. As soon as they both entered the dining hall, Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II and Lucia stood up. "What an honor to have dinner with my neighbors." King Demetre said in a rather sassy voice."We come on good terms." Prince Alexius said genuinely. The King looked at the woman who stood next to t
