Whispers could be heard at every step the king made inside the castle.
Everyone was surprised to see him walk, Jimmy in his arms, lifting him bridal style and the young man quietly resting his head against his chest. They did not find it strange just because their cranky king was raising a stranger but mostly because they never saw him do something like this before, not even the late Princess Kythaela."Jimmy?" Ruvyn raised an eyebrow and stared at the King. "What happened to him?"
"Open the guest room." Taegen ignored his question and followed his servant. He walked in a long corridor, letting Jimmy the chance to admire all the portraits and paintings hung on the walls while listening to his heart beating faster.
They arrived at a room and the king gently lied his body on a large bed. "You can rest here."
Jimmy shyly
Ruvyn and Nieven headed together to Jimmy's room to wake him up and have breakfast together. The wizard gently knocked and opened the wooden door.“Jimmy wake up—!” Ruvyn widened his eyes when he saw Jimmy sleeping, his head resting on the king's shoulder. They both slept on the little couch in front of the window.The two lovers shared a confused look and kept staring at them. “The king spent the night here?” Nieven whispered, looking at how peaceful Taegen was, his black locks covering his eyes as his head was rested against the wall.“It seems like it.” Ruvyn shrugged. “This is the strangest thing I have seen in so many years.”Nieven nodded and ran his fingers through his long silver hair. “Should we wake them up?” he asked.“I don't think it is a good idea.” Ruvyn shook his head. “I know how embarrassed the king would be.”“Why isn't it a goo
Ruvyn left to help his lover and Jimmy found himself alone once again. He went for a walk around the garden and sat in front of the fountain. He kept reciting each colour's signification to keep them in his memory to understand the king better. From what he could see lately, his eyes mostly shifted to blue when he was around him. He smiled just thinking about the fact that the charismatic king might be shy with him.Jimmy watched the fairies work; some mopping the floor, others cleaning the cutlery or removing the dirty sheets and replacing them with cleaner ones. He admired how they flapped their silver-coloured wings every time they flew from one place to another. They were beautiful and felt bad for those who offered themselves to the Prince of Rosa.He went back inside after a while and headed to the library. He found a book he has been reading when he used to stay in the castle. He laid on the couch and continued the story.A few hours later, Jimmy found hi
A week after, Jimmy and Lord Nylian were having breakfast alone. The table was silent, only the sound of the juice glasses and cutlery setting on the marble table could be heard.The Duke was readingDreamy Day, the number one newspaper in the kingdom. The writers and editors made sure to include all the things that happen daily in Fantasia, such as the next game of Golden Basket; it's the same concept as the regular Basketball game on Earth, except that it's played in the air. The players are mostly fairies or creatures that have wings. They must pass a kind of silver balloon and throw it on the golden basket that floated peacefully in the air.This morning, the main page of Dreamy Day was occupied by the portrait of a young man with pink hair. Jimmy tried to read the title while Nylian read other articles.ROSA'S PRINCE ACCUSED OF MURDER.He remembered the conversation his friends had with King Taegen the previous week. The Pr
Taegen and Nylian had to attend a meeting, so Jimmy stayed alone with Ruvyn in his chambers."What have you done the last week, Jimmy?" Ruvyn asked."I have been reading more books about Fantasia's creatures. I was surprised that there were quite a lot." Jimmy laughed."I know, it is hard to know everything about them all.""I also have been writing other chapters of my story." the young man added."Is it the one you read to me the other day?!" the wizard's eyes shone brightly. "You don't know how much I have been waiting for the continuation of the story. I couldn't stop thinking about what that prince did when he caught his husband cheating on him with the royal secretary. I wished I could be a character in that book to strangle him."Jimmy laughed, seeing how mad his friend was. "I didn't bring the papers today, but I'm coming back here tomorrow with Lord Nylian and I will bring them to read together.""Good idea!" Ruvyn exclaimed. "By th
“Your Highness, you were accused of murdering one of your concubines.” the judge said.They were in the crown room, the King was standing next to the judge while Prince Ayas stood before them. The nobles were surrounding them and the family of the dead fairy were there too.“Your honour, I haven't done such a horrible thing,” Ayas said with a calm voice.“The other concubines certified that Lady Lithua spent the night in your chambers. You were the last person who saw her before her death.”The Prince sent a death glare to his concubines who were nervously standing behind him. “She indeed spent the night with me, but I made sure she left my chambers before dusk. You can ask my guards, they saw her leaving.”The judge looked at the guards, “Is it true gentlemen? You saw her leaving?”“Yes, your honour,” one of the guards spoke. “She left before dusk. She looked alri
“Oh my god! They kissed!” Ruvyn's eyes grew wider. “I knew that the king was the perfect man for him. I knew it!” he clapped his hands.(⚠ Spoiler: for those who want to read His Majesty.)Jimmy giggled. He just read a part when the rude king finally confessed to his brother's husband and kissed him against a tree.“I want this to happen to me,” Ruvyn said with a dreamy voice. “I wish Nieven was more open about his feelings.”“Why? Doesn't he tell you that he loves you?”“Rarely,” Ruvyn sighed. “He's very quiet. He helps me, protects me and always smiles at me, but he never says that he loves me.”“But he loves you!” Jimmy said. “Isn't it obvious?”Ruvyn stared at the boy and smiled sadly. “Sometimes, you want to hear that someone saying I love you,” he gently ruffled his hair. “You'll understand it when you'll
Jimmy didn't know what made the moment more magical, the fact that golden dust was falling from the rainbows, or the fact that the king of Fantasia just kissed his lips.He felt his heart bursting inside his chest when Taegen stared at him with his beautiful purple eyes, when he gently touched his cheek, caressed his hair and closed the gap between them.Jimmy only read about kisses or maybe sometimes saw one in a movie. In his books, he always considered a kissing scene between the main characters as something very important in the story. He would surprisingly get so happy and excited about it like he was the one living it. Now, it was different—better.Having Taegen's lips on his, kissing him gently and softly like he was the most fragile creature in the world. The way he was cupping his cheek with his hand just made him want to lean on it forever. The way his other hand was shyly squeezing his thigh made things even better.Jimmy didn't know what to do, he
The next day, Nieven went to the nursery to check on his patients, a cook who burnt his hand and a pregnant fairy. He gave them the herbs he spent the night mixing for them."This burn is very serious so it will take time to heal," he said, examining the ogre's hand. "Just make sure not to expose your skin to the sun.""Alright." the cook sighed."How about the baby? Does he still kick your belly?" the healer smiled at the female."He is already strong," the fairy laughed. "I cannot wait to give birth.""One more month and we will welcome him among us." Nieven smiled. "Just be patient and rest well please.""I heard the king has changed lately," the cook spoke. "The maids said that he is more smiley and relaxed.""Oh, right! He even wished me a good morning earlier!" the fairy exclaimed.Nieven rubbed his chin. "I wonder what is going on," he mumbled. "I spend most of my time in my study, this is why I don't know what is happen
The King couldn't wait for a single more second to capture his husband's lips. He cupped his cheek and pulled him closer to him.Their lips moved slowly, savouring every second, every moment.Taegen pushed his lover gently on the bed, surprising him not only because it was very intimate, but also because the dark sky above them was full of stars that shone as bright as his diamond hair.Their kiss could not stop. There was so much love that they could not stop expressing it.The king removed his shoes and Jimmy's before he put himself above him. He placed his hands on each side of his lover's head and took a moment to contemplate his brown eyes before kissing him again.Jimmy put his hands on his shoulders and responded to his kiss. His hands moved to the King's chest, he looked at him nervously and started unbuttoning the indigo blue shirt, surprising him.Taegen smiled and let him get rid of the cloth. He cupped his red cheeks and kissed his foreh
One month later...The Duke and his lover were spending a peaceful evening in the garden as they always did.Nylian was resting his head on Jeyrha's thigh while both of them read a book.The young knight was playing with Nylian's long hair. He loved it because it makes him feel at ease."Your grace." the butler interrupted. "Your tea.""Thank you Karlyle.""A letter just arrived." the blue-haired added. "From the castle.""Oh?" Nylian hurried to open the envelope.He widened his eyes and felt tears burning his eyes. "We are invited to Jimmy and the King's wedding!""They are getting married?" Jeyrha smiled. "How come we didn't know about it.""Jimmy accompanied his parents to Rosa and I did not have a chance to talk to him," Nylian said. "About time! I am so happy they are finally getting married.""When is the wedding?""In five days.""Shall I prepare your outfits and gifts, your grac
They left the water, running and laughing happily. Taegen pulled his lover against his chest and hugged him again. He kissed his head and thanked him for coming into his life.Jimmy refused to hear him thanking him for that because his travel to Fantasía was the best thing that happened in his life. He made friends, he met his parents, fell in love and found himself. It was a happy moment for him too."I should introduce you to my mother," he said."Of course I shall meet her." Taegen nodded. "But first, I need to dry myself and wear new clothes. I should be presentable to meet your parents."Jimmy giggled. "I have to change too." he smiled."Alright, then in less than two hours I will knock at your house's door.""Hum." Jimmy rubbed his chin. "How about we visit the castle? I'd like to see Ruvyn and Nieven. Can we?"Taegen chuckled. "Diamond." he caressed the younger's cheek. "Never ask me if you can come to the castle, it is yo
The next morning, Jimmy woke up and washed behind the house. He chose a nice outfit and made himself presentable to meet the King.He ate a small part of the leftover chocolate cake his mother made and drank a cup of milk. He took a look at his parents who were sleeping peacefully on the mattress.The night before, Ayasinsisted on spending the night with his family. It was awkward and a little uncomfortable, but Jimmy was more than happy to finally have both his biological parents by his side.Before he closed the door after him, he heard his mother whisper, "Good luck son." He gave her a smile and left the cottage.He wanted to meet Taegen and try to make him remember their love for the last time. If he succeeded, he would stay obviously, but if he fails he would accompany his parents to Rosa and never see him again.The walk to the lake was long and tiring. He took a little time to rest on a rock and drink the water he brought with him.His
"What?!" Jimmy gave his mother a horrified look. "He's...he's my father?!"She nodded with a smile, "He is the man I talked to you about.""This...this is the sweet and gentleman you talked about." Jimmy could not believe her words. "I swear to god..." he pressed his lips and clenched his fists. "YOU CHEATED ON MY MOTHER!" he shouted at him."I-" the prince rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I was just-""Don't say a word," Jimmy mumbled coldly. "I can't believe you are my father.""No wonder I felt a strong connection between us." Ayasrubbed his chin. "I knew there was something special about you.""No, no." Jimmy shook his head. "We're not changing subjects here. You're a cheater! You don't deserve her.""What? I was just...I was just angry and desperate because she disappeared so suddenly.""Excuses." Jimmy crossed his arms."But it is true!"Ruby started laughing, looking at her husband and son bickering
Jeyrha was helping his lover get dressed for the night's big event. He chose a light blue shirt for him because he thought it would be a good idea to make him wear something that is not just white.He helped him put on the nocturne blue jacket and stood in front of him, smiling widely, admiring his masterpiece. "You look absolutely gorgeous," he said.Nylian smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, dear.""Do not kiss me so suddenly." Jeyrha groaned and pushed him against the wall. "I would want to do bad things to you," he whispered in his ear.The elf bit his lower lip and placed his hands around his neck. "How about you wait until we go back home? You can do whatever you want."Jeyrha hummed and took his cold hand to kiss it gently. "You don't know how much I have been waiting for this moment. I am so glad you healed well and fast."The Duke smiled, "Thank you my dear for staying by my side.""No, do not say that." Jeyrha shook his
The next morning, Jimmy and his mother had breakfast together in the cottage. She hugged him tightly and watched him leave the house, heading to the castle.He decided to leave his fear and insecurities behind and face the King no matter what happens.He left the forest and found himself in the village. The creatures greeted him with wide smiles and congratulate him for winning the battle. It warmed his heart to see so many of them thanking him and offering him flowers and sweets. He really loved Fantasía. His mother was right, it was his home indeed."Jimmy?" a familiar voice made him stop and turn around."Your grace!" he ran to Nylian and hugged him, "I am so glad you're alright."He greeted Jeyrha and thanked him for taking care of the Duke."Where were you, Jimmy? We looked for you everywhere!""I was transferred to the other world," Jimmy said. "I needed to know the truth about my past."Nylian nodded and ruffled t
"Here, Karlyle made some tea for you." Jeyrha placed the tray on the bedside and sat next to the Duke. "How are you feeling?""Much better." Nylian smiled and held his lover's hand. "The hours I slept helped me a lot.""That's a relief then." the knight pushed Nylian's white hair behind his ear and stared at his sapphire blue eyes, "Breathtaking," he whispered.Nylian laughed and placed a kiss on his lips, "Do you like me that much?""No." Jeyrha shook his head. "Liking you would be an understatement." he smiled and kissed him back. He placed his hand behind his neck and the other rested gently on his waist. He was careful not to touch his wounds.The Duke moaned quietly when he felt the heat reign over his body. He found it incredible how the intimate connection between two creatures who shared the same desire could do wonders.He untied the knight's long dark hair and ran his fingers all along the locks without taking his lips from his
Jimmy fell to the ground and groaned with pain once again. "Damn it!" he frowned and rubbed his bottom. "I'm sick of these painful landings!"He heard someone laughing behind.He quickly turned around and found the gorgeous red-haired woman staring at him with a big smile.He looked around him and realized he's in the dungeon where all the Gemmas were jailed before Adalis' death.The woman approached him slowly and said, "I knew you would be back."Jimmy gulped and stared at her, "M-mother?"She nodded and opened her arms. Jimmy didn't hesitate to run and hug her tightly."You don't know how happy I am." he heard her crying, her face hidden in his neck.His heart ached when he saw her sad and worried face. "Don't cry mother," he whispered and wiped her tears with his thumbs."Where are the others?" he asked, realizing that there were no more people in the dungeon."They went back home." she smiled. "You saved us Jimmy
