Keira covered Aaron’s hand with hers and gave him a warm smile. That smile was everything. He could say this about them, because even if their engagement was fake, this part was true. Aaron: She knows I almost married a woman who wasn’t in love with me. She knows about the one night stands, the scandals. Hell, she was almost one herself. She knows about every last fuck up and she still walked up to me, not anyone but me, and chose me. So no, I’m not sitting here and letting you or anyone call that into question. With that, Aaron got up and walked away. What the fuck just happened? He did that thing where he got caught up in the moment and somehow convinced himself that it was all real again. He should have just told his father that he was right. That he’d fucked up again and it was all bullshit. Keira turned to King Henry and broke the awkward silence. “You want to be direct, Your Majesty? Here’s direct. You do know I almost killed both of your sons, right? If you need to ask a q

As King Henry went on a rampage about decorum and duty, something something responsibilities of a crown prince, something something, Aaron and Queen Mary stared each other down. "If you think, even for a second, I'm letting you marry anyone that isn't the Arden bastard, you're sadly mistaken," said Queen Mary. Aaron bit his tongue. He saw the threat in her eyes, knew better than to rise to the challenge for fear of what she might do to Emily. She didn't have to say the rest. Prince Aaron Condor would marry Lady Zoey Arden. And anyone or anything that got in the way would be disposed of. Later that morning, flat out refusing to attend The King's Fancy in an official capacity, Aaron watched on from the shadows. Unable to stop himself from going to watch his fate be sealed, Aaron watched as King Henry and Queen Mary were introduced to his would be wife, the Lady Zoey. "So, that's her?" Emily asked, appearing next to him. She wasn't near

2021, February 18th(Imperium, Warlanda)She played him. They did. Of course they did. Nathan should really have seen it coming. While Emily distracted Nathan with booze and well herself, Cassie must have called up her old friend King Troy Pierce and had the air travel ban between Warlanda and Terres Somnia lifted. By now their plane was landing in Warlanda. Under normal circumstances, Nathan would have saluted the women. Putting one over on him was unheard of. These were not normal circumstances. She had no idea what she was walking into. Worse still, neither did he. (Phone Call: Nathan to Emily/Cassie)Nathan: Don’t do this, Cassie. Imperium isn’t safe for her right now. There was an urgency to his voice that he couldn’t quite control the way he usually would as he tossed his go bag on the backseat of his car. Emily: I do hope you’re doing okay. I tried to wait until the very last second before tying the restraints to the

2018, December 4th (Caines, Terres Somnia) Waking up to Emily's little body on his, every naked inch of her wrapped snugly around him, not even the anxiety of what Aaron was going to do about his impending engagement could ruin the perfect happiness he felt as he waited for her to wake up. The smile she gave him when at last she did was bashful, but true. It hadn’t been a mistake for her after all. He should have told her, damn him to hell for never telling her. He should tell her now. It had waited long enough. “Good morning,” he said, lightly dragging his fingers through her long, now dishevelled strawberry blonde hair. “Good morning,” she answered in the same doughy way, doe-eyed gray storms looking up at him. There were more pressing things to say, to decide, but again the words wouldn’t come. She was stuck in that moment with him and he with her and no one could have convinced them that the world was still spinning, not for anything in it. It was for this reason that

2021, February 20th(Imperium, Warlanda)Aaron’s pace rapidly increased as he balanced the files in his arms while simultaneously trying his damndest to avoid any more interactions with Flynn or Cameron. He eased the door to the archive room open and entered, hoping for some peace and quiet. Just as he was letting out a sigh of relief as he made his way through the empty aisles to seek out a desk in a dark corner that he could hopefully hide out in, he bumped into them and almost jumped out of his skin. Aaron: Shit! What are you two doing here?Aaron dropped the stack of files in his hands on the desk Troy and James were seated at, threw himself down in the seat beside James, taking the glass of whiskey out of his hand and downing it in one go. Setting the glass down, he picked up the bottle and took a swig. Troy: Playing hookie and hiding from Henry. James: Mostly the latter. What are you doing here? Aaron: Hiding from literally everyone. Troy produced a small smirk. Troy: She
