Aria watched Troy’s eyes go to the chessboard. She smiled, like she always did when he managed to slip a personal question past her. Troy was sweetness itself. The perfect prince nickname was deserved through and through. They never quite got personal exactly, or rather he didn’t, but Troy listened to Aria. He was the voice of reason in her head when she felt like losing her shit. He got into her head somehow, had been working on her for months before she finally broke and told him. About the grief, about the way she wanted to feel Dean’s warm blood on her hands, but mostly about how much she missed her mom’s warmth, Ethan’s stupid grin and her father’s easygoing but strict demeanor. If it really did come down to it, she could do worse than Troy for a king, a partner.

“Regretfully, I do not. I always meant to learn, but I never could quite make myself.”

The truth she was burying, even from herself, was that Aria and Aaron had talked about playing together many, m

    Troy sighed, his anger abating somewhat as he watched her eyes soften, watched her form dreams around that ring. “Please, Aria. If there's shit you need to figure out with Aaron, do it now. Today. Because I'm leaving tomorrow, with or without you. This place isn't safe for Ethan.” “What if I don't make it back in time? What if it's not enough time? When will I see you, either of you, again?” she called after him. She had to ask. It was the tiniest spark, just a little bit of doubt, but she knew it was possible. Aria might just not be able to leave Aaron. Troy willed himself not to look back, not to tell her to take her time so long as she picked him, because the truth was he just couldn't handle it, couldn't keep his cool about other men circling her anymore. It wasn't just that, though. They had already stayed too long. Caines wasn't safe for the kid. “I won't keep him from you, Aria. You can see him whe

    2019, December 24th & 25th It was the early morning hours when Troy went back into the nursery with a jug of cold water. He was completely over this now. Maybe it was the way CC had pushed his buttons or finding his girlfriend, the woman he meant to propose to for a second time, next to another man, but he had had enough. Troy watched as Bart's sleeping body came to life. “Maybe you're not so harmless after all, huh, Barry?” he said. Bart didn't say anything. He only glared at Troy. “If you still intend to marry CC, I suggest you get out and go home. And stop showing up here. You're messing with Caroline’s head and she deserves better, deserves more.” “This coming from the man who all but forced this night on her,” Bart growled. Troy laughed bitterly. “Is that what you think happened? Despite what you think of me, Lord Bartholomew, I'm not in the habit of making women do any

    She could have told Aria the rest, about how he’d had a meltdown in the courtyard, but Keira didn’t see how that would help matters. Aria couldn’t stand Keira, but since Ethan’s death Keira had become rather protective of Aria. She wasn’t just here because she wanted blood, like she’d told Troy. She wanted to protect everything the man she loved had left behind. A marriage to Troy was the best way to do that. What the hell did that mean?! He was just running after her 10 minutes ago, looking for her, seeking her out. Did he change his mind again? Was it so easy for him to walk away from her a second time? Was there really nothing between them anymore? Had there ever been? Did she let herself get played after all? It certainly looked that way. He only ever wanted one thing from her. That was just who he was. “Get out,” said Aria, her voice cold as ice. When Keira had retreated out of her room, Aria picked up her hairbrush, the way she had a million times

    2019, July 1st The war may have ended in Warlanda, but the truth was Dean and Troy were merely shifting battlefields. Dean had taken Warlanda, becoming its regent and almost immediately declared war on Sartis Est. Troy wanted to go for her, to be with Aria like he told her he would be, but the rumours that Diane was still in play, alive somewhere in Warlanda, kept him in the country that was trying to take his head. If only he could find her and place her on the throne, he could stop Dean in his tracks. Troy felt a twisted sort of relief knowing that Diane might be with Dean. Taking out King Edward was one thing. Hell, even Troy had considered taking him out when he was looking for ways to end the Warlandian Wars the first time. But Diane was a no go. Dean wouldn't hurt her. She was the only thing left of his humanity, the only thing still tying Troy and Dean together as brothers. This knowledge, this irrevocable bond, gave Troy hope, made him keep loo

    She was right, though. He was flexing. Aaron had yet to meet someone who was a better shooter than himself. All those math classes he took while at university had some purpose, after all. He used his brain to make crazy, impossible shots. It wasn't often that he showed that off when he wasn't in a fight for his life, though. “You're good,” he said, coming up behind her, putting his hands around her waist. “I watched you in Sartis Est. I'm well aware that you're better, maybe even better than Keira.” “Let's hope we never have to find out.” Aria put the gun down, clearly more afraid than he was that she might shoot him by accident, and turned around in his arms. She looked down, unable to meet his eye. “Being around me almost definitely means you will, Aaron,” she said, taking his hands off of her waist and leaving him behind. He blew out his cheeks. He'd meant to reassure her that he could t
