The kings arrive.

"Wake up, your highness." A sweet, familiar voice whispers. A voice which never fails to make you go weak in the knees. You grab the hand of the speaker without opening your eyes and pull her on top of you.

She yelps girlishly and you quickly pull the covers over her and wrap your arms around her tightly.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me by name?" You whisper softly while kissing her ear. She squirms on top of you, trying to escape.

"Someone will see us Adrian. Please,let me go." She pleads while you plant kisses along her jawline. Her pleas turn into light moans at that.

You lazily crack open one eye and look at Melissa snuggled up to you,her body crushed up against yours. You smile at those pretty,hazel eyes and the soft brown hair tied neatly in a bun. A few loose strands cascade down onto your face, tickling you. Her olive skin shines with the sunlight of bouncing off it. Your gaze drops down to her soft,full lips and you waste no time to claim them with yours.

"Mhmmm..I love you. I don't care who sees us." You say and tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

She goes to say something when there's a knock on your doors.

"Adrian? I'm coming in!"

"It's mother!" You exclaim.

"It's the queen!" Exclaims Melissa at the same time.

She scrambles off you hurriedly whil you pull the covers to conceal your nakedness.

Your mother enters the room and comes to sit besides you. She smiles,her green ,emerald eyes shining. You share the same midnight black hair even though you weren't born from her. She has fair skin. Flawless and smooth,just like a queen who's lived in luxury all her life.

"Come now Adrian. Get ready quickly. Your father calls for you." She says.

You frown."Father calls for me? What's the matter? Someone rebel against us?" You ask.

Your mother grimaces."I told him not to send my boy to the battlefield. He's turned into another war monger." She mutters.

You raise one eyebrow at this and your mother sighs. "No my love. It isn't war related. Not everything is. It's something else. Please hurry up." Then she turns to Melissa who stands in a corner with her head bowed."Get the prince ready quickly." She throws one last smile at you and gets up from besides you and walks away.

"Well Melissa.." you say looking at her."You heard the queen, get me ready."

After bathing and cleaning and eating you finally slip into clothes which is basically a white chiton held with a gold belt. You hurriedly rush to your father's chambers where he takes guests.

You enter the room to find your father sitting on his miniature throne,the one in his room. There are two other people with him. A man with blue eyes,a fiery red beard and equally fiery hair. There's another man with long blonde hair tied into a pony tail with stormy grey eyes. You know your own eyes are steely gray as you study these men...no...kings, carefully.

"Ah ! Adrian my son! Comehere!" Your father bellows with a hand gesture."Meet king Azral and King Ryndall. My brothers-in-arms."

The two kings rise from their seats and bow down slightly to you. You nod at them and look questioningly at your father. He has never called you in before to meet his friends.

Your father smiles. "Well son, there's been a problem. You see, Azral and Ryndall over here were coming together with their daughters but they were ambushed by some bandits. And not just any bandits, they're the golden boys."

The Golden boys. You sneer at that. They're mages who believe that they're chosen by gods and the Olympians still live. You've disposed many of them before but they somehow never end.

Your father catches your look and smiles. "They're holding the princesses and want to meet you. That's their condition. So go on son, bring them back will you?" Your father grins.

You narrow your eyes at this. The kings look too calm and your father looks to happy. The whole thing stinks of suspicion but you can't just refuse. What if it is true?

You nod at your father."I'll get them."

The prince walks away and the king exhales heavily.

"Do you think he fell for it?" Azral asks.

"Yes. I think he did." Says Ryndall.

"No he didn't. He isn't that easy to fool. I just hope he doesn't kill your Golden boys." Says Sorbik.

"Well,my men aren't actual mages. I doubt the prince will kill them once he realises they are harmless." Azral drawls.

Sorbik shakes his head."My son can be ruthless sometimes. If he finds out all of this was a sham he'll probably go crazy with rage." He takes a pause and continues."There's nothing he hates more than being lied to."

"Then why go along with this idea? " Ryndall asks.

Sorbik sighs"I have to introduce the princesses to him somehow. I thought this would make him look at them and protecting them could somehow make him attached to them. He'll get some time traveling with them and that's what I want." Sorbik lowers his voice."The more he's away from the palace the better. I want him to stay away from the servant woman. As it is,there are several demi-god bastards of his crawling everywhere he's been. Even in my palace. I don't want another one."

"Can't we just...you know... dispose the maid?" Azral asks.

Sorbik's eyes darken."Don't even let that thought come into your mind again. If he even supsects anyone of plotting against that girl he'll destroy them."

The two Kings sigh. They had raised their daughters for Adrian. Every moment of their lives was meant to teach them about Adrian. But,he didn't love them. He loves someone else and he will definitely not accept them. That's why they'd come up with this stupid plan of staging a **** of the princesses so they get to travel with Adrian. Now they realise it's a stupid plan which can clearly erase all their plans.
