"If you have respect and consideration for one another, you will make it." ~ Mary Durso.-If this was a movie, the song forgiveness by Paramore would be playing.-Prince Alexius sat in the far corner of his father's room, staring. He stared at the man who was supposedly not his father but how? It hurt, he had been through so much but this hurt still. Finding out the man you thought was your father actually isn't. When was he going to tell him? Was King Dysmas willing to take this secret to the grave? It certainly looked like it.The King coughed loudly in his sleep moving swiftly to face the right side, his eyes shot open as he coughed again. Prince Alexius ran to his bed side, silently helped him sit up straight so he could lay on the soft pillows, almost immediately he handed him a glass of water which he thankfully gulped. Silence followed."You don't have to watch me while I sleep like I'm a child." King Dysmas said groggily. Prince Alexius only shook his head. "Everything alr
"You look breathtaking, my Queen." Peter said taken aback by her presence. He knew she had made an extra effort because he was coming. She smiled then turned back to the full body mirror. She looked at her hair neatly tied in a bun with crystal diamond pins. Her crown laid beside her enormous dressing table. It glistened. Two maidens helped her with her dress-"The guests are already awaiting your presence." Peter said once more."Alright." She looked at herself one last time. "Thank you." She said to the servants who had been helping her with her dress. They immediately bowed and turned to leave once they door has closed shut, she turned to Peter-"Is he here?" She questioned eagerly."Not yet, that's if he is even coming. He never wrote back." Peter shrugged.Lucia bit on her lip. Her tears were right under her eyes, this feeling felt familiar. This was the exact same way she felt when she waited for him by the river but he never showed up. Princess Amelia always won!"It shouldn't
-Before anyone could do damage control everyone cheered with joy. Celebrations roared even from outside the venue signaling even the local people of Greece were quite happy with this decision. Champagne bottles were popped, toasts were made amongst the guests. Sir Demetre was taken aback by this reaction, did this dispute really affect everyone to the extent that they were happy that it was finally over. Theodore smiled proudly as different admirable men and women walked over to shake his hand. Prince Alexius stood there trying to digest what had just happened, everyone was congratulating them. It was like New Year's Eve. "Well.." Peter broke the silence between him and Queen Lucia. She was still in the moment, everything seemed to be happening so fast.. her son really did that.Her very own son, the son she bore eight years ago, the son she promised to take to Paris and Berlin while sitting near the river in her sorrows. This boy was bringing her happiness even when she had not ask
He had been held up by Princess Amelia causing him to be a bit late than planned. Not that there was a time planned, there wasn't but he just wanted to be there; with her in his arms. There was a lot of security around the Greek palace but getting to the river wasn't a big of a problem. Just like in Acamas he knew it by heart. He was not bothered by going out into the night without any security considering the title he held and was after all in a foreign country. There was no doubt in his mind that she would be there waiting for him. There was no doubt in his mind that if she wasn't there then he would return to find her. When he got there disappointment was all he felt. It was a full moon and with his hands in his pockets leaning against the tree, his eyes looked at the beautiful river in front of him, the water was greenish. This place had been where he spent his birthdays in the past couple of years, he had his thoughts in this place. It was pretty significant and special he thoug
- I'm sorry for the wait, I'm really trying. -It's not the wait that made their hunger for each other even much more feverish. It's not the excitement they both felt in the pits of their stomach. It's definitely not hasty kisses they passed onto each other as they tiptoed down the hallway to the Queens chambers. "Thomas, are you not supposed to be down at the event." Queen Lucia questioned. She had immediately pulled away from Prince Alexius immediately when she saw her personal guard who had been searching hell and back for her from the past two hours. "My Queen, you're alright." Thomas said nodding towards the Prince who seemed amused at this interaction. "I'm a grown woman, Thomas!" Queen Lucia growled. "I'm certainly not to leave you unattended, anything can happen especially when there are all these people from different horizons." The man with long black hair, buff shoulders and a 6'4 height nodded towards the Prince. "No offense to you, my Prince." It was very awkward.
"He will never see again." The doctor said to Prince Alexius who seemed devastated. "Unfortunately." The doctor continued. "The good thing is his burnt wounds are healing up quite well.." Prince Alexius felt an ache in the deepest part of his heart. As much as he had convinced himself that he hated Elias, he could never. It was impossible. He grew up with Elias and had known and looked up to him as a brother while growing up. He couldn't just up and decided, he hated him and didn't care about his well being."Is there anything that can be done about his eye sight?" Queen Lucia questioned, Prince Alexius had forgotten she was present. He was so used to being alone and dealing with everything alone but she was here with him. She left everything so she could be with him in his time need not that it was really him in need more like Elias. Prince Alexius would never wish this even upon his worst enemy. It was a very sad outcome. "Sadly, my Queen, he just needs to adjust to his new enviro
-His eyes watered a bit as he continued looking at her. He felt as if a ghost was in front of him. He couldn't hold the happiness he felt, seeing his bestfriend after so long. This was definitely one of the days in his lifetime he would never forget. Being reunited with his childhood bestfriend, whom he thought he had lost forever. Lucia stared at Khris, he wasn't a boy anymore. He had facial hair properly shaved and it suit him. There were so many changes but when she looked into his eyes, he was still the same little boy... herself and Kyra use to play with in the fields. The same young man who was selfless enough to give up everything just to marry her. Her selfless bestfriend who only wanted to protect her and see her happy. She hugged him for what seemed like the longest of time. If she had anyone whom she could consider lifelong family, it would be Khristian Salavas. He was the definition of loving and kind. He had been there for her from the very first time when they were on
-Father-" Prince Alexius embraced his father tightly. He looked weaker, thinner and much more pale. The doctor had said three months, he often wondered... how they could just simply put a time stamp on someone's life. It made him upset, upset at the world for easily taking away all the good things that people have in their lives."Alexius." He replied pulling back, Prince Alexius adjusted his father's continental pillows before sitting on the stool right next to his bed side."I heard the news." His father smiled proudly. It was the very first time he had seen his father genuinely proud of him. It was visible from the twinkle in his dull blue eyes. "I did absolutely nothing, honestly." Prince Alexius shrugged."What a great future King, your son is to be." King Dysmas declared proudly."He is really something." Prince Alexius felt proud, he had that pride in him that, Theodore was his son. He had done something that future generations would always praise him for, something previous
