"Let me get you focused"

"He wears the smell of blood and death like a perfume."

"I- I- uhh-" It was obvious what I was doing. He just wanted to toy with me.

I turned around and was met with striking blue eyes staring into my grey-green ones. His face was mere inches from mine. I was as red as a tomato.

"Well?" He was still waiting for my answer.

"I- I was trying to find the dining room." I only half lied.

"Oh sureee, follow me then." He smirked. He didn't buy my act for a second.

He grabbed my elbow and linked arms with me. His legs were fairly long so it was hard to keep up with him. He just kept pulling me along.

"So how's your stay been?" He asked.

"Stay? Don't you mean beautified imprisonment?"

He laughed at my not-so-joking joke.

"You say potato, I say potah-toe"

We walked in silence for a few minutes before entering a grand dining room. Multiple chandeliers lit the room and a dining table sat in the middle. The table had enough seats for more than a dozen guests but there were only four of us.

"You're late George." Dream tsked. He acted as if he hadn't just told me life-changing news and launched a manhunt for me last night.

"I was escorting Alethea here." He gestured to me. "I actually found her snooping in your office Dream."

Well shit. Doesn't he know that snitches get no bitches?

"Is that true Thea?" Dream asked me.

"Umm, I thought it was the dining room?" I tried to make an excuse.

He hummed as if he believed me. He found it humorous that I even tried to lie to a king.

We sat in silence as we ate. The chef had brought out pancakes.

I. Love. Pancakes.

After the events of last night I hadn't eaten and I was starving. I ate those pancakes like I ate your mother's-- ok I won't finish that.

I was in my own little foodie world before Dream spoke:

"Alethea I want to set down some castle rules."

I just frowned at him.

"Rule 1: All rooms except your bedroom and common grounds are off-limits unless one of us lets you in."

The fact that he wanted me to stay out of that office means he's hiding something. There was no way I was staying out but I nodded anyway.

"Rule 2: No leaving the castle under any circumstances. This is for your safety."

Safety my ass. You just want me within reach.

"Rule 3: You will have one of us with you at all times since you can't seem to stay out of trouble."

I glared at him. Yup. Beautified imprisonment.

"Failure to follow these simple rules will result in punishments." He smirked at that last part.

I just rolled my eyes. I wouldn't be following any of his stupid rules.

The rest of the meal was filled with small talk amongst the brothers. I learned that Dream and Sapnap are mainly fighters while George is a strategist and a public speaker. As I saw in the letter, their country has high tension with the Kingdom of L'Manburg.
