The person who was shocked the most was Prince Ron. He never expected Zedekiel to carry him. Although he knew his beloved was just helping, he couldn't help but feel special.Ever since they arrived in Netheridge, Zedekiel had been nothing but hostile to him. The only times he saw the gentle parts of the King was when they danced during the feast and when he helped apply medicine on his wound.Which was directly after choking him.For Zedekiel to willingly carry him, Prince Ron felt he could faint from pure joy.At that point, the moon in the sky shined brighter and the wind picked up a bit, temporarily blinding the people watching behind them. The branches of the humongous Mother Tree slowly swayed with the wind, releasing a sweet scent which wrapped around Zedekiel and Prince Ron. A few leaves went with the wind and a particularly one brushed against Zedekiel's lips lightly before finally settling down on Ron's dry lips.Seeing this, Zedekiel was stunned. He sharply turned his head
The King knew he had no other choice so he just nodded then he remembered something. "Mother, something strange happened when we found the huma-The Queen mother glared at him then he coughed slightly, clearing his throat. "I mean the Prince. Prince Ron. Something really strange happened."She gazed at her son with a raised brow then he proceeded to explain."I don't know if I'm the only one who felt it but when I carried the Prince in my arms, I felt my powers grow. I mean, the Mother Tree started to sway as if she was happy. She even released her scent and her leaves caressed me."He glanced over at Prince Ron and corrected; "Caressed us. Her leaves caressed us."He then turned to his mother. "What could that mean?"The Queen Mother smiled deeply. So she wasn't the only one who approved. Even the Mother Tree liked the little Prince. Although she understood, she didn't explain it to her son for she knew her son was so against humans that he wouldn't understand. It would be better if h
Zedekiel blinked, surprised by the sudden action. "What are you doing?"Prince Ron was stunned. "W-What am I doing? What are you doing?""Taking off your clothes." The King replied simply. "You're covered in dirt."The Prince gazed down at himself, still holding his clothes tight. He was truly covered in dirt but Zedekiel helping him didn't sit well with him. After seeing the past, he knew Zedekiel didn't have an ounce of good feelings towards him. It might be a ploy to kill him."Ah, there's no need to bother your Majesty with such a trivial thing. I can do it myself." he smiled nervously as he gathered his robes and jumped down the bed then instantly headed for the door. "Thanks for the help though. I'll see myself out."He was halfway to the door but suddenly realised that he couldn't move. Something was holding him back. He turned to find Zedekiel stepping on the edge of his robe, limiting his movements.Prince Ron started to sweat. When did Zedekiel move away from the bed and he
It wasn't possible for now but he had to think of a way for Zedekiel to know the truth, release his uncle and then, find a way to get Zedekiel to forgive his race. Maybe after then, he'll be able to worm his way into his beloved's heart.With that in mind, Prince Ron felt a new found courage. It didn't matter how cold his beloved seemed to be. He would do his best to melt the ice and warm his heart!At that point, the double doors to the King's room opened and the Queen Mother walked in with a line of servants carrying trays of food. She saw Ron standing in the middle of the room and her face brightened like the sun."Ron dear! You're awake!" she exclaimed as she rushed up to him and engulfed him in a big warm hug."Mother," the Prince chuckled, happy to see her again. Her hug reminded him of his mum and tears gathered in his eyes. "Mother I was alone and so scared." he whined pitifully, like a small child. "I didn't think I'd survive. I didn't think I'd see you again.""Oh don't talk
The bathroom was huge, almost double that of the bedroom. It was illuminated by shiny pearls embedded into the walls, making the place glow softly. There were lots of flowers of different colours scattered around the edge of the walls and floor. Blue, violet, green, red, and pink. There was no ceiling. Just an open space with the cresent moon and hundreds of stars glistening in the sky.It was so breathtaking that Ron couldn't help but stare with an open mouth.Zedekiel watched, amused at the undisguised awe in the human's beautiful eyes. The cool wind blew, ruffling the Prince's robes and hair and the Prince giggled, twirling around."Your Majesty, your bathroom is so beautiful," he praised, turning to look at Zedekiel. "Can I have one like this too? This is so pretty."The King felt proud of his father's work. There was no way he would make one for a human. "Only I, the King, is entitled to a place like this."It was a blatant rejection but it didn't hinder Ron's happiness. After al
"Are you okay?" he asked the Prince who was still breathing hard.Prince Ron coughed a bit more then sighed deeply, resting his head against his beloved's strong chest. "I'm better now that you're here."Zedekiel thought he didn't hear right. "What?"The Prince suddenly realised what he said then he raised his head and cleared his throat. "I mean, I'm fine. I'm happy you saved me. Thank you, your Majesty."He peered up at Zedekiel and his breath hitched for Zedekiel was so handsome up close. Ron wondered how he could be so lucky to find such a handsome man. He stared up at him, using the opportunity to admire those deep violet eyes framed by dense wet silver lashes down to that straight nose then thin pink lips. His skin was pale and silvery, like the sheen of a moon. He wished he could touch it, to know what the skin of the Elf King felt like."You're welcome." Zedekiel breathed. His voice was hoarse and sexy, making Ron want to hold him closer. He couldn't believe he was actually cl
The Prince's face was stained with oil and sauce. His cheeks were puffed with food, like a cute little chipmunk. His hair was partly dry, already starting to get back to their natural curly state and his eyes were bright, as if it was his first time eating such delicious food. Zedekiel was actually scared the human would stain his clothes.When he realised his mother didn't arrange clothes for the human, he sent a servant to get some but the servant came back saying the human Prince's room was locked and there were no spare clothes. He had to give the human Prince his own set of sleepwear robes. He didn't want to but he couldn't have a human as beautiful as Ron walk around naked. He didn't want what happened the other night to happen again.Although he wasn't happy, he found the human Prince looking so adorable in his black robes. Of course the sleeves were too long so he had to roll them up and the neckline was too wide so it kept slipping off the human's thin shoulders, revealing hi
"Preposterous!" the Queen Mother snapped. "You and him can't share a room until you're properly married. That's against our culture. In fact, I'm sure it's against every culture.""I agree with Mother." Prince Ludiciel stated, giving Rose a stern look. "Who knows what will happen? A man has desires after all."Especially his stubborn brother who has been celibate since birth. If an Elf like that lets loose, only the Mother Tree knows what will happen."Or are you trying to trap my brother?" Princess Mariel accused, looking at her suspiciously. "Are you afraid he'll refuse to marry you so you want to trap him by becoming pregnant with his child?""That's absurd!" Princess Rose shouted, banging the table as she stood up. "How dare you accuse me of such a disgusting thing?!""Well you just offered to sleep with my brother before marriage!" Princess Mariel retorted, standing up as well as she glared at Rose."I meant to share a room not sleep with him!""And what's the difference?! Anythi
