ROYAL AFFAIRS (MXM) ✔

Eleven

A warm, peaceful, satisfied feeling which was also coated with indescribable joy swirled around Sebastian's chest before he was even fully conscious. It was like one of those rare moments when you've slept so happy and the next morning your body remembered the feeling before your brain even grasp on the memory. Sebastian couldn't fathom the root of his joy, up until his brain was conscious enough to replay the memories of last night. A smile spread on his face, his heart racing with an unspoken trill. Before he recalled the reality of his life. He was a man. Not just any man but a prince. Waiting to marry a princess. Not just any princess but Augustus' sister.

He was lost in his inner battle, he didn't even realise Augustus was no longer in his bed. They had fallen asleep next to each other, he knows this because Augustus had fallen into a slumber before he did. It was actually nice sleeping next to the prince of Neverland. It felt as if that was where he belonged, which is crazy of course.

When he got to the breakfast table, Augustus was the only one who wasn't there. Felicia and Elina were giggling as always. Ronaldino was busy building a food mountain on his plate. How he stayed lean was a shock to everyone who knew this boy. The two kings and queens were eating quietly. Even Hazel was eating her recognizable small potion of food in a worriesome quietness. She seem to be stuck in her brain, but Sebastian didn't pounder on it as his worry was on Augustus Calabasas.

He greeted everyone around the table before taking his seat. Half way through his meal, he started to really get worried about Augustus' absent. Even when they avoided each other they still showed face for breakfast. Or was lastnight too much for the dark hair prince to grasp on. However, he went on and asked about his whereabouts.

"Annabelle had mentioned the prince had asked to sleep through the morning. Apparently, he battled to get sleep lastnight, and now it was catching up with him," Queen Roseline was kind enough to answer.

"Oh...it happens to me too at times. Sleep just abandoning you, and only comes when the sun is already rising," Queen Elizabeth acknowledged.

Sebastian nodded taking that answer for now. It could be true or false.

"I'll take him breakfast," Sebastian offered.

"Oh no...I'll have Annabelle do that," Elizabeth protested.

"It is fine mother. Beside, I have a few things I'd like to talk to him about," he mentioned, but after seeing the queens and kings alert reactions, he laughed it off. "It's nothing of importance. Just a friendly conversation," he laid their concerns to rest.

When everyone seem to be satisfied with that answer, Sebastian went back to his breakfast.

He had just seen Agnes when he was approaching Augustus room with a tray in his hands. The maid was sweet enough to open the door to the prince's room, and closed it behind. As soon as the other prince laid his eyes on him, he groaned in frustration.

"My asshole is burning Sebastian. I couldn't even walk without attracting attention," he informed.

Sebastian winced at that piece of information.

"Sorry," he said looking sympathetic. "I brought you breakfast," he said placing the tray on the bed.

Augustus frowned at the glass that had dirty water with some green things floating in it. It was like boiled grass.

"What is that?" he asked, reaching for the scones instead.

"I had figured you might be in pain. It's boiled herbs, they'll help," he said.

"You don't expect me to drink it, do you?" Augustus quirked a brow up.

"Of course I do! We got them from Caesar a week ago. They are still fresh. Drink up!" he order, throwing him a warning glare.
