  Phillip's P.o.V
 
  ************************************
 
 
  I hear another obnoxious knock at my door,
 
  "Phillip, you can't stay in there forever. You're making everyone worried."
 
  I hear Harella's worried voice through the door,
 
  ever since returning from Celestia two days ago, I have locked myself in my room,
 
  the thought of me being the cause of so many bad things to come scares me,
 
  when I thought she would stop, I heard another knock,
 
  "Phillip, it's me,"
 
  his deep voice brought tears to my eyes,
 
  "I'm sorry, I don't want to come out, please leave me,... please..."
 
  I whispered out my pleads, hoping they would just go or even kick me out of the palace,
 
  that would be much better,
 
  "No, I will not leave, I order you to come out right now,"
 
  his words were not forcefull, but I could feel the despiration, so I reluctantly opened the door,
 
  he was the only one standing there, so I widened the space for him to walk in,
 
  "Phillip, you-"
 
  I didn't allow him to continue. After closing and locking the door, I rushed into him, hugging him tightly while crying my eyes out,
 
  "Don't say anything, just hold me, ...please."
 
  he complies and rubbed circles on my back, making me tremble a little,
 
  I never thought a lot about how exactly I felt for King Leon, but there was this indescribable yearning I have for him,
 
  I thought it was because he was very nice to me but there are many others who treat me nicely,
 
  when it comes to King Leon, all my apprehension and fears melt into a warm puddle of adoration that bubbles in my chest,
 
  It makes my stomach clench with nervousness, and my head buzz with thoughts I have never imagined I would have,
 
  I look up to see him staring at me, and we stay there,
 
  unspoken words communicated through our heavy breaths as we get closer and closer,
 
  when I feel his warm lips on mine, I relax in his strong hold,
 
  the kiss becomes heated, and my hands clench his shoulders as I stand on my toes,
 
  he forces his tongue into my mouth, and he licks and sucks at the tongue and lips, I breathe out through my nose, moaning at the tingly sensations,
 
  suddenly, however, it seems something snapped in his mind, making him pull away abruptly,
 
  "No... No, we can't do this...we- we can't"
 
  he stares at me for a second before leaving, slamming the door behind me,
 
  suddenly feeling drained, I fall to the floor with my hand on my lips,
 
  oh no, what have I done? Will he hate me? He is married, you fool!, and he has children!,
 
  still breathing heavily. I go to my bed and hide under the covers,
 
  what have I done?,
 
 
  **********************************************
 
  King Leon's P.o.V
 
  **********************************************
 
  I rushed to my office thinking about what I had done,
 
  I kissed him!! I kissed Phillip!
 
  and it was... amazing...,
 
  no!, this can't happen!, you are the King!, you made an oath on the throne!, this is all my fault!,
 
  after entering my study, the door opens again to reveal my 'wife',
 
  "Leon, where have you been? Have you forgotten we must host a dinner party tonight!"
 
  she scoffs when I don't turn to her,
 
  "I know you're a 'King', but you shouldn't leave everything up to me. Are you even listening to me!?"
 
  she stomps around me and comes up into my personal space,
 
  "I don't care if you like me or not. You should be a man and own up to your responsibility!"
 
  I feel her hand grasp at my manhood, and I freeze up. For memories from decades ago, I have tried to forget, resurface,
 
  "may I remind you, I AM YOUR WIFE! You must listen to me, for without me, you would never be king!"
 
  she has always held that over my head, and I'm sick of it!,
 
  "You let go of me before I behead you,"
 
  I say this eerily calm and look her dead in her eyes,
 
  she releases me and steps back, but I close in on her,
 
  "I am sick of your disgusting attitude, I will no longer hold my tongue when you speak ill of me to my sons!, I have put up with it since the very begining because I was immature!, if everyone was to know how you concieved I wonder if you would be able to hold your head so high!"
 
  she was now shaking and breathing heavily, she whispers something that made my blood boil,
 
  "it- it was necessary..."
 
  she then regains her confidence and spoke up,
 
  "You were such a coward. It wasn't even that hard to just do it, I had to step up,"
 
  I stepped back and looked at her,
 
  this was unbelievable,
 
  "So... drugging me, tying me to my own bed, forcing yourself on me, and then allowing your maids to do the same was necessary?"
 
  that night, I felt myself break from the inside out, and I couldn't tell anyone. For two years, I had to watch those same maids serve me until I mustered up the courage to send them away,
 
  I was the King, and I couldn't even help myself,
 
  she chuckled,
 
  "Don't act like you didn't like it. You came so much I concieved in just one night,"
 
  she stepped around me, but I stopped her before she could leave,
 
  "One day, you will suffer for not only defiling me but many other atrocities, your day will come, get out!"
 
  she scoffed and flung the door open to come face to face with Phillip,
 
  "Your majesty!"
 
  he bowed to her and kept his head down. She stood straighter and glared at him,
 
  "Move away, boy!"
 
  he did, and she stood in front of the door staring at Phillip,
 
  "it doesn't matter if you are a 'dragon king' in this palace you are below me."
 
  she walks away,
 
  "Phillip, what are you doing here, I thought -"
 
  he closed the door and gazed at me,
 
  "I heard everything..."
 
  I stay quiet as he comes closer to me,
 
  "I am sorry for what happened earlier, but please don't hate me,"
 
  I looked into his watery green eyes and held him in place,
 
  "I could never hate you, just -"
 
  before I could finish someone knocks on the door,
 
  I look at Phillip, who nods and goes to sit in front of my desk while I answer the door,
 
  "Father, is Phillip with you? we need to get ready for the guests, and Harella said she couldn't find him."
 
  Marcus looks past me to Phillip in my study,
 
  "Yes, he is here. Give me a moment to address him,"
 
  he nods, and I close the door,
 
  "Phillip, go with Marcus. We will talk later,"
 
  he looks up at me and nods without saying anything before going out the door,
 
  I shouldn't have kissed him,
 
  what have I done?,
