She grinned mischievously, moving away slightly, before standing up, walking across the room and grabbing her clothes. She then began removing all the clothing on top of her body, leaving nothing but her underwear on.

Roman watched her with an amused expression, biting his lip in amusement as he admired her slender figure. His eyes darkened as he caught sight of the bruises littered on her skin.

"Didn't we agree to forget what happened yesterday? Or were you planning to keep this up forever?" He asked, amusement evident in his voice.

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Do you want to be hit or not?" She retorted playfully before walking toward him slowly.

He smirked. "As long as it doesn't hurt you too badly. And of course I do." He replied smoothly, staring at her heatedly.

She paused momentarily before walking over to the bed, sitting down next to him.

Roman reached for her hand, lacing his fingers with hers. He leaned back against the headboard, pulling her to lean against him, and pul

    They both stepped forward, standing in front of the cowering child.The young boy glared fiercely at the two men in front of him, silently daring them to attack him, and daring them to disobey the orders of the man in black and kill him."What do you want?" The boy spat defiantly. "You already had your fun with my mother." He continued, his voice dripping with hatred.The man in black chuckled darkly. "You still aren't smart enough to realize that we didn't come here to play." He drawled mockingly. "We came here to talk."The boy scoffed humorlessly. "Talk. Really." He remarked sarcastically.The man in black narrowed his eyes at him warningly.The boy's eyes flickered briefly to the weapon in his hand, before he glared furiously at the man.

    "I am going to prove to myself that I can be brave like you, Roman." She stated firmly.Roman stared back at her, his expression filled with pride and determination, causing his face to flush a deep shade of pink.Her face lit up excitedly as he leaned forward, capturing her lips in his.As they kissed passionately, Roman reached behind him, wrapping his arms securely around her waist as he held her close to him.They broke apart several moments later, breathing heavily as they gazed lovingly into each other's eyes, their faces inches apart from each other.Roman pulled her closer to him again."Are you sure you're okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked worriedly."No, Everything is fine.""Good." He said simply, giving her a loving kiss on the forehead.They embraced once more, kissing fervently for a few moments."I love you, Princess." He whispered between kisses.She giggled lightly.

    The man rolled his eyes dismissively before returning his focus back on the artifact."Fine. But you better pray that my plan works." The man threatened before turning around abruptly. He strode confidently out of the room, leaving Roman alone with his conflicted thoughts.Roman was pacing nervously along one side of his room as his father paced around the opposite side.The man stopped walking to look at his son seriously.Roman stared at him warily. "Why are you even here?" He questioned annoyed.His father glared at him angrily before continuing to pace in fury.Roman furrowed his brows in confusion. "Father? You're scaring me." He commented nervously."I need your assistance." His father replied harshly."With what? We've already established that we cannot get near the artifact. And besides I thought you agreed that we would leave it for now." Roman argued.The man's eyes flashed dangerously."I'm not saying we leave the damn thing behind forever." He growled.Roman raised his eye

    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.

    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?"

    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.
