Roman shivered, wrapping his arms around his chest as he recalled how terrified he had felt. It seemed to echo in his bones.

That had not been the first time he had woken up in such a state from a nightmare, but this time it had been so vivid that it left him shaken to the core.

He glanced down at the blanket lying upon his lap, noticing for the first time that it was crumpled and wrinkled.

He shook his head, forcing his memory to return to the present moment.

He didn't recall anything specific about the encounter he had just experienced. All he recalled was the fact that it had been a very long time since he had had such a terrifying experience.

He shuddered, remembering what it was like to feel so helpless. In all likelihood, it hadn't been a nightmare after all. It had been real. He had actually witnessed it.

He frowned, recalling that he still didn't know what that woman had meant when she spoke about her brother. He could only assume that she meant the other boy. Was she trying t

    Fernandez smiled knowingly, beckoning towards Roman with his right hand. "There he is." He declared happily. "Prince Roman."Roman turned away sharply, refusing to acknowledge him. He refused to even acknowledge the fact that his name had been uttered by the man who had nearly kidnapped him.Suddenly, the doors swung open, revealing another royal guard who was holding a small tray with some food placed upon it.The guards stepped aside, allowing for a man dressed entirely in white to enter.Roman glanced up quickly in surprise. He recognized the blonde haired man instantly, recognising him immediately as the same stranger who had helped him escape last night.He glared harshly at the man, clenching his fists in anger.The man smirked slightly. "Good morning, my Prince." He greeted mockingly.Roman scoffed, glaring at him angrily.Fernandez cleared his throat. "Your presence is requested by the king." He announced, gesturing to the door.The guard handed Alexander the tray and bowed

    The younger prince turned his attention to the other man. "And him?" He queried.The man shrugged. "Me." He repeated simply.The younger prince tilted his head in confusion. "But you have two separate names." He pointed out.The man laughed slightly in response. "Exactly. That's because we're both part of a group." He answered simply.The younger prince stared at the man carefully before turning his attention once more towards the man on the left. "Who's this?" He asked quietly.The older prince hesitated for a moment before answering. "My brother." He answered eventually.The younger prince nodded slowly, staring carefully at the two men. After a few moments, he finally looked back up, staring directly at the two."They're trying to protect me from them." He whispered, glancing towards the doors once again before continuing. "I have a feeling that they might not be able to help themselves." He murmured.Both of the princes glanced curiously at the boy. "Help yourself from what?" Fer

    Alexander's brows furrowed slightly. "How will you get us home?" He questioned.The king chuckled once more. "We will fly." He informed.The younger prince frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?" He questioned.The king shrugged his shoulders. "Well, as I told you earlier, we are the guardians of the world's magic. And magic is not just a thing of myth and legend." He said. "It is real, and it is alive." He explained. "Magic is everywhere. It is in everyone's blood, it resides inside each human being. You could say that it is the very essence of the world itself."Roman paused for a moment, contemplating his words carefully before speaking again. "What happens if we die?" He questioned.The king smirked slightly. "Do you really think the gods would allow us to die, Prince Roman?" He questioned. "They have granted us a life span that is equal to that of a mortal, meaning we shall live forever." He informed the younger prince.Roman blinked rapidly in surprise. "That's amazing." H

    The older prince placed both hands on his hips. "Okay, so when do you intend to start training?" He inquired."As soon as possible." The younger prince responded immediately. "I cannot wait to be able to fight again." He added excitedly.The older prince couldn't help but smile slightly in amusement at his enthusiasm. "Alright, well, I'll inform her and the others about this so that they can assist you." He stated.Alexander raised his eyebrows. "Celine?" He repeated. "Why her?" He wondered curiously.Thomas frowned. "Because it will be easier to teach you than to instruct someone who doesn't know anything." He pointed out. "Besides, I trust her implicitly." He added.The younger prince glanced towards the ground for a moment as he listened intently. He then looked back towards the king, raising one of his eyebrows curiously. "She trusts me too?" He inquired curiously.The older prince nodded his head in affirmation. "She does." He confirmed. "You will be spending quite some tim

    He nodded his head in response. "It's not creative enough." He admitted, causing him to roll his eyes.Andres chuckled in amusement. "I'll take that." He said teasingly. "How about 'Tall Dark Prince'. That would work nicely." He suggested.The blonden prince grinned mischievously. "Not bad, actually. It fits you very well." He remarked teasingly.He felt another blush begin to rise in his cheeks. "Maybe someday." He murmured, blushing slightly as he avoided eye contact with Roman.The older prince chuckled in amusement. "Perhaps someday." He agreed.Andres tilted his head in curiosity. "What's your name?" He asked curiously.He smiled slightly. "Roman." He responded."Roman, huh?" Thomas murmured thoughtfully. "You are certainly something else." He admitted in amusement.Roman smiled in amusement. "I guess." He murmured, unable to contain his smile. "You can call me Roman though if you want."

    "Sir," he said hesitantly, glancing over at the older man briefly. "May I speak with him alone for a minute?" He asked carefully.The dark haired man raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Um, alright. Come find us when you're finished." He answered.Andres shot his younger brother a worried look before walking over to the couch and sitting down next to his father. He walked over to the other side of the room, sitting down heavily on the floor."What's wrong?" He asked quietly.He sighed. "I think I'm going crazy." He murmured softly.Andres's jaw clenched in annoyance. Of course he could tell something was wrong. He had been acting weird since yesterday. "Did something happen?" He questioned.He shook his head slowly, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to spill over at any moment. "Not that. I'm going crazy because I can talk to everyone. Even the servants, but that doesn't seem to bother them at all. I mean, they're not even upset about me talking to myself." He explained qu

    The next morning, Roman entered the library hesitantly, looking around nervously at everyone who passed by. He couldn't seem to shake off the feeling that someone was watching him. He tried his best to ignore the sensation, walking towards his table, but the feeling continued. He eventually noticed a familiar dark skinned girl sitting at a table nearby. Her raven hair fell neatly around her shoulders, accentuating her pale features. She wore a pink dress with white lace trimming. Her green eyes locked with Roman's grey ones. Her lips parted slightly in surprise. He stared at her for a moment, before turning his attention to him.He glanced up briefly, meeting the blue eyed prince's gaze. A smile immediately spread across his lips upon seeing who had arrived. "Hi." He greeted warmly. "Come sit down, Your highness, You look like you could use a break." He commented.He glanced around awkwardly. "Is it okay if I take a seat here?" He inquired anxiously. "It doesn't feel right to take

    Both of them then sit next to each other and continue to watch their surroundings, until they finally go inside their carriage.Damian was looking outside the window, as Celine had fallen asleep on his chest, while her head rest against his shoulder.Damian then put his arm around her, careful not to wake her up."Why are you taking us to the gardens?!" Damian yell, annoyed."If I tell you why, you will only complain about it!" Celine yelled back with a grin."We are already there!" Damian said angrily while pointing at their mansion."And yet you are complaining about it. " Celine replied, with a smug expression."Okay, maybe, but we are in my garden, we have our own place here." Damian said seriously."Oh, I am sorry, I didn't know that your garden is so special that it deserves a whole separate building. " Celine teased him."It's not funny." Damian said crossing his arms in front of him."I know I'm sorry." Celine said sarcastically.Damian glared at her and sighed deeply."Look,

    Unfortunately, this didn’t stop his heart from breaking a little whenever they cried or when they woke up screaming in the middle of the night, scared of monsters or demons, unable to control themselves. Sometimes, Roman wondered if he should try to help them somehow, but then he remembered what happened the previous day. If he had interfered, then the kidnappers would have gotten away with everything, and Celine and his daughters would have died. Instead, he decided to ignore them, pretending as if nothing had happened and letting the incident be completely forgotten. This way, Celine could have a normal life again, and he could finally sleep without worrying about her.As Roman went through that process of ignoring and forgetting about the incident, he gradually began to grow tired. Despite that fact, he stayed up until late into the night before finally falling asleep.When he woke up the next morning, the sun was shining brightly and he could hear birds singing outside in the

    Slowly and cautiously, he moved his gaze toward the direction that he thought he had seen the source of the noise coming from. And suddenly, he realized that the source of the sound had been Celine’s hand. She was clutching her left hand tightly in both of hers and she had begun rocking herself back and forth in a small circle. The movements weren’t violent, though, but rather rhythmic, and were definitely something that Roman recognized as something she frequently did when she was upset.It wasn’t that Roman was surprised that Celine was having trouble sleeping or that he was worried that she might be feeling uncomfortable. After all, she had been through quite a bit today, and it was understandable that she might feel that way. But what shocked him was that she was apparently doing it in the middle of the night instead of at the usual hour when he would normally be waking her up to ask her if she needed anything. It was odd behaviour for her, especially after what had happened

    So, he would wait. He would patiently try to support his wife, and he would try to be there for her, and he would do his best to make sure that she was always happy. But above all else, he would have to keep reminding himself to stay calm. No matter how angry he was, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t be able to break down if he were to lose his composure. And if he broke down, there was no doubt that he would never forgive himself. Not for something like that. He might not understand what it was like to live with her constantly and watch her suffer, but he didn’t want to find out what the outcome might be if he actually broke down. So, for the sake of his family, he would remain strong and hold himself together. That way, if things did end up getting rough, he had a chance to save what little remained of his family and his sanity.And that was all that really mattered. Everything else, everything else was just distractions.His thoughts were broken away from their current tr

    It had become quite clear over the course of the last two weeks that he wasn’t going to be able to keep pushing Celine as far as he normally would have. It pained him to see her hurting like this. He understood, logically speaking, that she was still in a fragile place mentally, but it seemed that the more time that passed by and the more painful memories that surfaced, the less he wanted to push her. So, in order to help her move forward, he would have to allow her to talk to him, but only after she had been cleared for release. He was going to be patient with her, however long it took. In fact, he would be patient for years if it meant that he would eventually be granted the opportunity to help her heal and grow stronger.Roman sighed deeply and ran his fingers through his hair before turning his attention back to the book resting on his lap. It was nearing the end of the third chapter and he had already finished reading through it three times. This was the fourth time he had re

    Celine continued crying quietly, occasionally letting out a small whimper or sniffle, until she finally lost the ability to hold back anymore. She sat against the cold white tiles, hugging herself tightly and allowing her body to relax as much as it possibly could. A part of her wished that she didn’t need to be rescued, that she could just fall asleep and never wake up again. Or that someone would come in and save her from everything else. Maybe Roman would come back after work and sweep her up into his arms and carry her to bed. Perhaps she could convince him to stay. To spend forever with her. To be happy together.But no matter how desperately she hoped that was going to happen, it wasn’t going to happen. Because he wouldn’t be back for another week and even if he was, that wouldn’t give her enough time to convince him that her problems were truly worth helping her deal with. It just wasn’t realistic.She wasn’t going to lie. It hurt. There was a part of her that still loved h

    Roman sat down at the other end of the counter, turning his head so that his eyes were looking up at her. He had a soft smile on his face and she was unable to avoid smiling back. She loved when he smiled like that. It made her feel warm inside. It brought back memories of simpler times that she wished she could forget. When they were both young and in love. When things between them weren’t complicated or hard to work through. Before everything had gone so wrong and they were separated by miles upon miles of ocean. Before they had even met. “So…what happened?” he asked hesitantly.“What do you mean?”“Well last night was kind of weird…and today isn’t exactly the best situation either, so what happened last night that has you so upset?”“Don’t worry about it,” she mumbled.“It doesn’t look like you want to talk about it,” he pointed out. “And honestly, I think it would probably make you feel better if I knew what was going on. We don’t know each other that well yet…we hardly know

    The next morning, when Celine awoke, Roman was lying on the couch, facing her, sound asleep. His arm was slung over the top of her torso and he was snoring gently into her shoulder. He looked peaceful as his eyebrows were relaxed and his mouth hung slightly open. For a split second, he looked younger and less exhausted than he usually did. His hair was disheveled, sticking out at odd angles and there was an obvious flush on his face due to the heat radiating from the heater. Her heart fluttered in her chest at the sight. He looked so adorable and it gave her butterflies to see him looking so tired and worn out. She reached up with her hands to push some of his messy curls away from his forehead before running her fingers lightly over his temples, pushing them downwards gently as she did so. His eyes fluttered for a moment and she thought he was about to wake up, but instead, he nuzzled into her hand, sighing contently as he continued to drift further and further towards slumber.A

    Roman nodded quickly, standing up and walking swiftly towards the kitchen. He rummaged around inside the medicine cabinet for a bit, searching through the various bottles until he managed to find a bottle which he immediately popped open and handed to her. She took it gingerly and swallowed down two capsules. She glanced up at him and smiled gratefully. “Thanks.”“You’re welcome. How are you feeling anyway? Are you really alright?”She nodded. “Yeah. I’m fine. A little dizzy, maybe. But I’ll manage. It’s just exhaustion.”He frowned slightly. “But you just said that it’s been three weeks. What happened? Have you not slept for three weeks now?”“I told you, Roman. My body is just adjusting to everything that happened. That’s all. Don’t worry about it. Please, stop asking questions. You’re making me uncomfortable.”Roman sighed and sat back down on the couch, taking her hand into his again. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked so many questions.”“No, no, you’re fine.
