Lost Royalty ~ Jegulus

Returning to France

Sirius POV

It had been a few days since we had returned from Haysham. The three of us spent our entire days together and I felt like I was truly enjoying life for the first time in my life.

It was a few weeks before September and I was planned to leave England in a week.

It was still early afternoon when I received a letter from my brother.

'Dear Brother,

I'm doing well but our father passed away. You're expected to be back before September for your coronation.

'they' have been ruthless and abusive. I miss you and hope you're okay.

Your brother, Regulus'

I folded up the letter before heading out of my room to find James.

"James?" I said walking into his room.

"Yeah? What's up Siri, you seem unwell?" James asked quickly concerned.

"My father died. I need to go back to France and become king" I said, tears starting to pool in my eyes.

"Oh no" James said quickly taking me into a hug. "Go get Remus in the cooks lounge please" James asked an assistant outside his room.

James sat down on the bed as I sobbed into his chest until Remus burst through the door and I fell onto him.

After an hour, Remus managed to calm me down and I fell asleep.

"What should we do?" Remus asked James.

"I'll go back with you to help and Sirius will get married and be crowned king. Please stick around for him, he's going to be under a lot of pressure again" James softly explained.

"Of course I will. I love him. I couldn't imagine life without him" Remus said running his fingers through Sirius' hair.

Remus brought Sirius back to his bedroom and found the letter from his brother. He wondered who 'they' was but didn't want to intrude.

The two boys laid in bed for a while. Sirius was asleep till 3pm but the two stayed in bed till they were requested for dinner.

After eating, Sirius wrote back to his brother and told the King about his father passing. The King congratulated him on becoming King and asked him a few questions.

"I already don't want to be this anymore" I sighed as I laid down in Remus' arms for the night.

"Well on the plus side, no one can chop your head off without you allowing them" Remus said making me laugh.

"You're not wrong" I said before turning off the candle and kissing him deeply.

"Goodnight my king" he said leaving the kiss.

"Stop that" I whined "goodnight my consort" I said kissing his cheek and laying my head on his bare chest.

The next day, James, Remus and I left for France. It was raining so the boat ride was dangerous and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

Remus was sea sick so he couldn't help my nerves and James was dealing with the crew so I was left to my own anxiety.

We ,thankfully, safely arrived after five hours of navigating. We took a break to eat before heading for a 7 hour long carriage ride.

We arrived during the night in Paris. The public had just learned about my father's death and they were very much agitated.

I had never given a public statement. Never managed anything and now I was head of an empire. What could go wrong.

"Sirius mon chers, comment était votre voyage ?" My governess asked.

"Très bien merci. Je te présente James Potter, le prince d'Angleterre et mon ami Remus, il vient de la cour." I replied before hearing my mother's harrowing voice.

"SIRIUS! Va avec Madeleine pour ta tenue. Ton marriage est demain après souper" she shrilled before continuing to run around the palace.

"I'll see you two later I guess" I said turning back to Remus and James. "Marion, apport les à ma chambre et donne leur quelques chose à manger puis trouve moi mon frère et dit lui de venir le trouver, merci" I said with a smile before walking off with Madeleine for my fitting.

No POV

James and Remus got escorted to Sirius' room. They were then given food and Sirius' caregiver, Marion, left them with another random servant to watch them.

Marion walked down the left wing until she got to Regulus' room and knocked. "Entré" she heard before opening the door.

"Votre frère est revenu et vous réclame" She said before walking back out of the room with Regulus who immediately stood.

"Où est-il ?"

"Avec Madeleine après cela j'en ai la moindre idée"

"Merci Marion. Bonne nuit" Regulus said politely before walking towards Sirius' room figuring he'd be there.

James POV

Remus and I here eating like starved cattle in what I figured was Sirius' room.

"Do you know french?" Remus asked me.

"Roughly. I can speak it pretty well and understand it but only if it's spoken slowly enough" I respond.

Suddenly we heard a knock at the door and a small boy peeked his head around the door.

"Sirius ?" He spoke with a heavy French accent.

I was about to reply till I saw him.

He looked like Sirius but attractive. He had shorter jet black curly hair and porcelain skin. He was wearing green silk robes and was noticably shorter than Sirius. His eyes were as dark as his hair and he glowed like an angel under the candle light.

My mouth hung low as I got lost looking at him.

I could've stared at him for hours but my moment was ruined when Remus nudged me in the side, shaking me out of my daze.

"Oh, pardon. I'll n'est pas là. J'ai cru entendre qu'il est avec Madeleine ? Il est parti vers le couloir de droite depuis l'entrée du Nord." I replied speaking slowly trying to pronounce my words correctly.

"Merci beaucoup" he said before closing the door and leaving.

A stared at the door for a few moments until I turned my head to look at Remus who had a stupid grin on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just didn't think you were like Sirius and I"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh you know, stupidly staring at boys and having trouble speaking. I thought you were straight. I'll admit it, you fooled me"

"I do not like boys! Yes I have absolutely nothing against it but I do not!" I said standing up.

"Whatever makes you happy" he said rolling his eyes.

" I WILL SEND YOU BACK TO HAYSHAM IF YOU-" I threatened before getting cut off by the door opening.
