“Oh god, it is very delicious! What is it called?” Lucian widened his eyes after tasting the green dip.
“It is called guacamole, it is originally made in Mexico and the basic and the main ingredients are avocados.” the chef said proudly.
“Mexico? You can even make food from North America!”
Daniel's POV:Now, it is official. Andry Harrington completely changed my life.
Back in Virtus palace, the queen mother was wondering how she could convince her son that his prince would not benefit him.At that moment, Axel called for a reunion with the king and the ministers.“Good morning to you all,” he greeted them when he arrived at the hall. “You must be asking yourself why a mere prince would call you this early in the mornin
Axel was working very hard, reviewing the last kingdom's expenses. He was decided to take care of the economy so that everyone received their fair share of money to live modestly. He had to cancel a lot of banquets organized by the king to save money and build a school for the children. He did not want the future men and women to grow up illiterate like him. He wanted them to be as cultivated as the noble families. He wanted to make that difference between people disappear.The prince was sitting in a large table in the middle of the library, surrounded by dozens of papers and som
“Your majesties,” a black-haired woman bowed to the four royalties.“Good evening Ms Knight.” Daniel gently kissed her hand. “We are very delighted with your acceptance of our offer, this is very generous of you.”“It is an honour for me, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, this is an insanity!” the minister of justice said. “You are not married to that woman, and yet she is carrying your child!”“Yes, how could that child be legitimate?” another old man added.“As long as it ismyblood andmyson or daughter, the child will be legitimate.” t
The street was very dark although it was still daylight. Abandoned houses, destroyed walls and a horrible smell of poop hit their noses. As Lucian and Axel were walking, they saw women sitting on the floor, covered with a long scarf to protect them and their children from the icy cold. They were staring at them strangely, wondering why rich people wearing such fancy clothes would walk in their territory.Children were crying, people were injured on the ground, and all of them were hungry and sick.
“Are you eating well, Lady Knight?” Axel decided to visit the mother before getting to bed.“Yes, Your higHness. Even though I am ill, my appetite stays strong.” she laughed.“I am glad to hear it.” the prince smiled. “It must be difficult to carry a baby during all these months.”
“I am sorry, Your Majesty, but we could not find the man.” the guard apologized. “We asked the villagers if they have seen someone not familiar or strange but no one seemed to do so.”“I see,” Lucian rubbed his chin. “Thank you, gentleman.”“We will keep searching just in case.” the guard bowed before leaving.
The next week, a banquet was organized in the castle in honour of the new Prince and Princess. Politicians and Royalty from all over the world were invited as well as some villagers the king and the prince were friends with.Nathan was in charge of welcoming the guests as usual and Leon was happy to see them enjoying his food. He spent the entire night and morning cooking, his husband tried to help him, but he forbade him to enter the kit
Lucian and Axel were pacing the hallway. The whole castle woke up at dawn because Lady Knight was giving birth.Lucuan was biting his nails, hearing her screams. Axel was shaking as he was scared for her. He sat on the floor and asked the children to come to him. He hugged them tightly and whispered good words to them so that they do not worry about their mother.Leon and Nathan joined the king to calm him down. They came with their night robes like the rest of people. "It is going to be alright, Lucian, do not worry." the chef said."What if something happens to her or the child?" Lucian was so nervous that his voice sounded like a whisper.Nathan gently patted his back. "Nothing will happen, have fate."A few seconds after, a baby cry sounded from the room.Everyone stood up and looked at the king."Is it done?" Lucian's eyes grew wider as his child's voice caressed his ears.Leon smiled and
Sander was sitting with sir Wraith who arrived a few hours ago to Exodius. He was so angry that he started yelling at his son the second he arrived at the castle. The king stopped him and sent Erik to his chambers."Sir Wraith, I am sorry for my brother's infidelity."The Virtusian cleared his throat, not daring to look into his eyes. "You did nothing to be sorry about." he said, coldly."I know that you do not like me because of what I did to Erik before.""With all my respect, Your Majesty, you should know that there is no parent who would sympathize with someone who wanted to harm their son.""I know," Sander sighed. "I am truly sorry.""Now, the most important thing is that we should convince Erik not to divorce from the prince."The king shook his head. "Erik cannot be married to someone like my brother."Sir Wraith frowned. "And what? Let my son be miserable? After the divorce, he
Sander and Erik came back to the castle, their arms and legs were still shaking from their fear of the thieves, also the excitement and joy from the kiss they shared.They bathed and had dinner together. Sander asked the chef to cook all Erik's favorite dishes. He wanted to forget all the past events and concentrate more on the new present. After their kiss, Sander had a very strange feeling. A feeling, he had not felt for years—happiness."Your Highness," Jeremy interrupted their quiet moment, then he stared at Erik shyly and gave him an envelope, "A letter from Virtus."Erik wasn't angry with him anymore. He knew he was also a victim of Kyle, he fell in his trap the same way he did. He smiled at him, "Thank you Jeremy." he said.The secretary's eyes shone with happiness as he was relieved that Erik was alright with him now. He smiled back to him and excused himself to leave them alone."Is it from your father?" Sander ask
Axel finally got to rest after making sure his guest was comfortable in his chambers.They had dinner together with Nathan and Leon, and they spent the entire evening talking about their experiences and playing games.
Lucian just left his study. The prime minister told him that his son sent him a letter saying that he asked for a divorce from the prince of Exodius. Sir Wraith was so angry and disturbed that his son had to be humiliated at the Exodusian court. They concluded that he would send him and the royal secretary to discuss the matters with Erik and the king. A royal divorce was a thing, but losing an alliance with Exodius was the least thing Virtus wanted at the moment.Lucian's head was hurting because of lots of talking and lots of papers to read and sign. He just wanted to eat and sp
The king and the prince of Virtus walked hand-in-hand around the palace garden. Their servants and guards walked behind them, a few yards away, of course, to give them a little privacy.“In a few months, not only will we have our first child, but we will also celebrate our wedding anniversary,” Lucian said with a smile.Axel's eyes grew wider. “Really? Ti
“Your Majesty,” a servant entered the king's study. He gently bowed and approached the desk. “The queen wants to see you.”“Let her in,” Lucian nodded. “Thank you.”The young man opened the door for Maya and she walked in with a radiant smile on her face. “Good morning son.”
“I always see them, but I don’t know their name,” Lucian said, looking at the beautiful flowers with white petals and a yellow centre.“They are called daisies,” Axel said. “They are one of the prettiest flowers. They appear especially during spring.”“Daisies,” the king repeated. “And do they symbolize something?
