What she feared the most was that Ron was an expert at aiming. There was nothing he couldn't hit with his slingshot. If he learned how to shoot arrows, he would be a formidable foe. She couldn't let that happen."Your Majesty, you do not have to teach him" she quickly said. "This is a game, not a training ground. I already said I would win him a pet.""Winning one himself is a better feat don't you think, Princess Rose?" Zedekiel asked, turning to look at her."But Your Majesty, my brother doesn't like such activities." she insisted. She knew the way her brother's mind worked. If he became good at shooting arrows, he would want to learn how to wield a sword properly. If the King offered to teach him that too, Ashenmore would be even harder for her to grasp. She needed Ron to remain her naive little brother. That way, they wouldn't have to fight each other when she comes for the throne."Right, Brother?" she asked Prince Ron. "Think about your palms. If you get used to shooting arrows,
"But I can't" Prince Ron refused. He would never betray his beloved. "Besides, I also want the Fox.""Oh, can't you let me have it?" She whined. "There are lots of other pets you can have. Don't be a baby. What will the future King of Ashenmore be doing with a Fox? That animal is more fit for ladies."Prince Ron scoffed. "And since when did you get to decide what animal fits what gender? Then again, weren't you the one who told everyone I can't shoot and I can't wield a sword? I never expected you to do such a thing to me, sister. I was really hurt. In fact, I still am so don't expect me to give up the Fox for you. You're a great archer so what are you afraid of? Fight fairly for the Fox."And with that, he strolled back to his beloved's side. If she hadn't done what she did, maybe he could have considered giving her the Fox but she really hurt him and it would take a while to forget what she had done.Princess Mariel had already finished speaking to Zedekiel and was adding six more a
But then, what if it was possible? After all, his beloved is an Elf. A Royal Elf for that matter. Was there anything beyond his capabilities?Then again, Prince Ron recalled that he was definitely a bottom so if anyone was to give birth, it would be him and he wasn't an Elf. Nor did he have any magic. It wasn't possible. It's not like he could just rearrange and replace his internal organs to bear a child.The image of Zedekiel as a child which he had seen in Prince Kayziel's past suddenly popped up in his mind and he sighed. His beloved was the epitome of beauty. With long silver hair, intense violet-coloured eyes, pale smooth skin, mixed with his own red hair, creamy skin and emerald-coloured eyes, their children will be envied by the world!Oh, what cute babies they would make! He could picture them all. He and his beloved with two little cuties. Male or female, it didn't matter. And then their little Snow Fox.That was it! Next time he entered the library to search for the Soul Tr
Princess Rose scoffed, taking another arrow. "That was just a warm-up. That's how I shoot. I was just getting familiar with the bow and the distance."Prince Mariel chuckled. "Yeah right. Let's see you make an actual shot first."Fixing her stance, Princess Rose gritted her teeth as she glared at the target. She had never missed a shot. Never! What was wrong now? She fired the next arrow and this one went even farther than the target.Prince Ron and Prince Ludiciel couldn't keep it in this time. They burst out laughing and the entire audience did too. Including Princess Mariel."What the hell is going on!" Princess Rose growled, throwing the bow away. "There's something wrong with that one. Give me another bow!""All that boasting isn't working out for you now, is it?" Princess Mariel teased.Princess Rose was quickly given another bow by the snake woman's assistant.How dare they laugh at their future Queen?! She would show them! She couldn't believe even Ron was laughing at her. She
Now facing the target with Zedekiel behind him, Prince Ron had so many questions in his head.What was going on???? Why was his beloved acting like this? He was even taking the initiative to touch him and teach him things. What happened to 'filthy Ashenmores'? The ones with 'dirty blood'? What happened to the whole 'I hate Ashenmores' stuff? How did it all just disappear?Prince Ron suddenly paled. His beloved wasn't trying to poison him right?Now that he thought about it, his beloved had been really nice for the past few days. Especially since they interrogated that prisoner. His attitude had changed drastically and he wasn't making snappy remarks or glaring at him all the time like he used to. He hadn't even attempted to kill him too!He gasped. Could his beloved be trying to make him lower his guard so he could attack?But if one thought well about it, It's not like Prince Ron had any guard up against Zedekiel in the first place. The Prince was as free as a bird in the sky and as
With his hand over Prince Ron's, Zedekiel raised their elbows, pulling the arrow back until the bow felt tight and their hands were right beside Prince Ron's ear."I want you to clear your mind, Prince Ron." He said gently. His voice was warm, washing away any remnant of nervousness or anxiety in Prince Ron. "I want you to focus and think of nothing else but the target. Treat the bow as if it's an extension of your own body. You are in control. Do you understand?"Prince Ron nodded sharply. His beloved's voice was calm and soothing. It also carried with it something that made Prince Ron want to believe in himself. For so many years, teacher after teacher kept pouring in to teach him archery, sword fighting, and anything a Crown Prince was supposed to learn but he preferred to laze about, eat snacks and read books. Sometimes dances with his grandmother or goes on adventures in town with his grandfather, disguised as citizens. He never took any of his lessons seriously and he never felt
"Correcting your posture" Zedekiel answered innocently. He ran a finger along Prince Ron's spine, making Prince Ron arch his back, trying to get away from the tingling sensation. Well, Zedekiel would never let that happen. "No no, that's too much. Come back a little." He pressed on the Prince's chest, fixing his stance. Prince Ron was starting to sweat. Did his beloved realise what he was doing at all? It was taking everything in him to control himself. If he got hard on the field, all the Elves would smell his arousal! Seeing that Prince Ron was completely disoriented, Zedekiel decided to stop torturing him. There would be ample time for that. After all, they were sharing a room. He placed a hand over Prince Ron's, steadying his hold on the bow and arrow. "Breathe." He whispered and Prince Ron did as he said. It was like a reflex. As if his body was programmed to do exactly what his beloved said. With his newfound calmness, Prince Ron's eyes focused on the target and he aime
Princess Mariel still stuck her tongue out at Princess Rose then linked her arm with Prince Ron's, mumbling to Zedekiel; "Sorry brother.""Thank you" Prince Ron whispered to Princess Mariel. He suddenly saw her in a new light for he never expected her to stand up for him like that. Especially against his sister. It warmed his heart and he decided to be nicer to Princess Mariel. She may be annoying at times but the girl had a good heart and she cared about him.He was quite confused about his sister's behaviour though. First, she exposed his lack of skills when it came to archery then she tried to get him to cheat and now, she was trying to make him feel bad for what he had achieved. It was so unlike her. Normally, she would be happy for him and even encourage him. What changed? He'd have to have a word with her as soon as possible.Princess Rose suddenly covered her face with her palms and went to the King, pretending to cry. "Oh Your Majesty, I feel so awful." She whined. "I didn't p
