No, but she needed to talk to her mother.

" Sorry little brother, I got nothing. Maybe we bash our head together or something." Guessed Jane not sure John would buy that. Jane knew her brother always acted dumber than he really was, loosing purposefully when he played chest with their father, or asking question he knew the answer to their teachers. The truth was he was probably the sharpest mind in the castle. He wasn't the most knowledgeable or the most intelligent, But John had this uncanny ability to break thing down to their simplest, only to find solutions that no one would've thought of or to completely circumvent the problem altogether.

" Well, I'm just glad you're OK." Responded John with a smile before helping her up.

" I guess we should call it quit for today, we did enough damage has it is." Proposed the maiden warrior dusting herself off. She was surprised to find her brother looking guiltily at the ground.

" Yes you're right, I'm sorry. What I said was wrong and I hope you know I've never believed any of it." Apologized John in a soft tone. Jane found herself relieved that her brother didn't really think those things about her.

" I'm the one who should be apologizing, I almost hurt you badly there." Said Jane pointing at the gash in John armor.

" Yea, good thing you stopped yourself in time. Afraid my arms didn't get that lucky tho." Grumbled the fighter undoing his arms guards, his wrists were swollen and a myriad of bruises started to form on his arms.

" God it look terrible, I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that." Jane gasped at the sight of his arms, saddened that her anger had led to this.

" Don't be, I was an asshole and if bruised arms are the cost to have my sister back, then I'd pay it a hundred times over." Vowed the young prince with a smile. Jane couldn't help a little smirk before teasing him.

" Missed me that much huh? Does my little brother feeling lonely without me around?" Teased the older sister in the sweetest voice she could manage. She thought he would deny it or change the subject, so she was taken aback when he suddenly brought her into a hug.

" I did, I love you sis and I want you to know. No matter what or when you can always count on me. I am there for you, don't ever doubt it for a second." Promised John lovingly. Jane eyes widened at her brother heartfelt declaration and physical contact, her heart swelled at the loving and gentle embrace filling her with warmth. She could not stop her arms to wrap around him and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

When her brother ended the hug to start gathering their gear, Jane internally whined at the lost of his warm body. Her core reacting way more than what she was comfortable with, her nipples had hardened and the friction with her training top under her armor was not helping. She was brought out of her introspection when her brother let loose of a loud whistle calling Lety back.

And once again to Jane amazement and maybe a little disappointment, the white mare appear, trotting happily toward her rider. Jane watched the animal come to her brother and smell his chest before playfully nudge him back with jerk of her head.

' If what I saw was real it doesn't seems to bother the public nuisance.' The redhead thought spying the playful display between the two. She wasn't sure if it should reassure her or fill her with dread. She decided to just push those thought in the back of her head to get ready herself.

.................................................. 1 hour later, castle stable...........................................................

" So how was the sparring John?" Asked Arthur sporting a knowing smile. Instead of answering the third son only rolled the sleeves of his shirt and showed his arms to him.

" Damn Jane, a little much don't you think?" frowned Arthur at the sight of his brother arms.

" It was my fault Arthur, acted like a dick and got punished for it." Joked John lightly.

The animal lover could tell John believed it, but one look to Jane told him she didn't agree with his interpretation of what had happened. If he didn't know his younger brother so well, he may have been tempted to speak. however, he knew Jane had been acting weird lately and knew John would have tried to do something about it. This was probably the result and if his brother mood was anything to go by, it was surely a success.

" I'm off. I need to do something before dinner." Jane called before adding. " Next time you might want to consider more padding if you intend to piss me off little brother. And not only on your arms, I might decide to aim elsewhere next time." Taunted a smirking redhead leaving them gaping at the implication.

" I wouldn't put that to the test if I were you bro." Said Arthur seriously a bit disturbed by Jane threat.

" Yea, if you think I plan to do something like that again ....... please just kill me before I can." Pleaded the horrified brother thinking **** had to be better than what is sister might do. Arthur could only nod promising to honor his brother wish.

......................................................... Queen chambers 15 minutes later.............................................

Eliana was sitting brushing her hair when a knock at the door made her stop.

" It's unlocked." The queen called returning to her grooming. The door opened, and she saw her only daughter enter the room. As soon her daughter had turned toward her after closing the door, she could tell something was wrong.

" Hey honey, as much that I would have loved you were here to let me dote over and pamper you, I'm guessing you are not here for that are you?" Questioned Eliana looking at Jane in the mirror, with a small hope her daughter had found a boy she wanted to be pretty for. The king wife would have loved nothing more than doll her baby up, but she knew Jane hated anything that was considered girly.

Jane looked at her mother while she was turning to face her, She always found her mother beautiful, but in the last couple of months her mother's outfits revealed more flesh that what Jane thought appropriate. And when they were more on the appropriate side it was generally a slutty version of something, what she was wearing now could only be described has a stultified version of what a scholar would wear.

Jane didn't know how to feel about her mother sudden inclination toward provocative clothing. On one hand she felt her mother should be more careful at the image she projected has their queen, but on the other there was no denying her mother sense of fashion and how sexy those outfit were. Jane even had caught herself ogling her mother on more than one occasion, she even admitted to herself that her generous bust filled her with equal envies and jealousy.

" We need to talk mother, I'm not sure if I'm just going crazy or if there is something wrong with me, but I need to know if what happened today has some truth to it." Started the young maiden, taking a seat at the edge of her mother bed. Eliana immediately got worried at this, knowing that her daughter was sparring with john this morning.

" OK baby, what happened to make you think there could be something wrong with you?" Questioned the mother deciding to wait and see if things were bad or worst.

Jane told her mother what had happened up to the point of the demon 'gift', and what she saw while her mother listened to the story didn't bode well. For one there wasn't any sign of surprise or disbelieve one would expect at a story like that, and secondly she was sure her mother was doing her best to calm herself down.

" Is it true mother? Is John really half demon?" Asked Jane almost sure she already knew her mother answer.

On the outside Eliana was apparently calm, but inside she was panicking at her daughter revelation and questioning. She knew damn well that something like this could be seen as treason, but what worried her the most was Jane description of what seemed like a possession. It sounded like the incubus side of her son was more violent than what she had hoped, granted he hadn't **** or ensnare Jane, but the way he talked seem to point at arrogance. She could only hope that john human side of his personality would curb the demon side and keep him grounded to reality.

From what Calipso had told her, every incubus downfall ultimately came from their belief that everyone and everything needed to bow down to them. It was easy with females, but the other greater demon would come to band together to face the threat the incubus caused to their domain. The worst thing was that here in earthland, she wasn't sure the powers would come together that easily. They had never faced an incubus, so it was not a stretch to imagine them realizing to late what threat it could be.

But right now she had to decide what she was going to do and tell to Jane, Her little girl was a keen and intelligent woman. If she tried to lie her way out of it, Jane may go to her father if she thought her mother was lying. Eliana also knew that sooner or later her daughter would learn the truth, the queen could not bare the thought of her baby girl hating her for hiding it from her.

No, it was better to calmly tell her the hole story, OK maybe without the mating and the fact that Eliana was going to be fucking her son senseless in less than a week.

The only question was how the young maiden was going to react to her mother's transgression and the fact that her little brother is a demon? ..............
