Nyx's pov:

We got out of the bathroom after making it up, I understood my problem. He clearly told me how he felt about Lady Augustus and I guess I should have listened more than try to push him with something he is clearly not okay with.

I should put my priorities in front of me. I need Liam on my side and he has helped me so much to just for me to let him down like that. We need to stand together.

We left the bathroom hand in hand, already back to the engagement ball. Liam kept me close to him at all times, as if I were to run away. No matter how much I told him we needed to socialize he was focused on doing it together.

"Hello, good evening Kings, Queens, Ladies, and Lords." A voice announced on the stage gaining the attention of everyone at the party. "Welcome to the engagement ball for Prince Liam and Prince Nyx." The spotlight immediately shone down on us, along with a few small claps from those around us. "We had a chance to get an interview between our future Kings with Royal News and I believe we got the best of them..." he pointed to the screen. "Here are a few moments we managed to capture."

Liam looked at me. "Holy shit we're fucked."

"I don't think they will show the chaotic scenes." I was very much wasted. Hope they didn't catch that.

The pictures started off and we were both smiling. Our smiles were as bright as day and I could see it, that was a genuine smile right there. I squeezed Liam's hand because he was the cause of that smile. "I told you they-" before I could finish a video of us started playing. We speaking about only stupid things, me blaming Liam for my stupid laugh.

"You were saying?" Liam laughed.

Almost everyone laughed at us, especially me. I was being silly and they captured all those moments. "They were recording us...this is embarrassing. Everyone is laughing at me." I hid on Liam's shoulder.

Liam wrapped his arms around me and let me bury my face in his shoulder. "I love the genuine smile on your face, baby." His eyes were still on the screen, studying my face as I laughed about absolutely nothing.

I sighed and watched the agonizing video go by praying they didn't notice how wasted I was. The worst part is, I get drunk once and it's the day I am recorded. I couldn't help but sigh in relief when the video ended.

People around us clapped once again. They invited the Queen and King of Avalon to give a speech. They announced the merging and what exactly waited for out two nations.

We nodded here and there from time to time until it was over. Liam got called up to give a speech only for him to pull me up with him.

"I'm aware of what you all think of me. I'm a failure prince, a playboy, unfit to be king. I would just like to say none of that matters. I couldn't give zero fucks about that. Never once have I failed to do my job as a prince. Never once will I fail to do my job as a king. What happens in my personal life is my business alone. I wasn't born to be king so this is somewhat new to me." Liam grabbed my hand. "I'm thankful for this merging because I met an excellent prince who will be ruling with me as King."

Even if his language was offensive and shocked many I honestly didn't care. One of us should have had the guts to say such things to these people. We are willing to serve, protect, and give everything we can but we are also not slaves to them.

We were about to leave the stage when I was asked to give a speech. I walked over with Liam not once letting go of my hand. "Good evening." I raised my voice, instantly getting stronger. "Thank you for coming." I glanced at Liam...I didn't feel like convincing them that I would do a good job. "I am thankful for everything but I am mostly thankful that I am doing this with someone like Liam. He doesn't show it but if you all tried to see it...you would see the greatness of the man, the Prince he is. Thank you."

We got off the platform where light hand claps were given. Liam led me outside almost immediately. As soon as we entered the garden in a dark spot he pulled me into a kiss. I wrapped my hands around his torso and kissed back matching his intensity when his thigh moved between my legs rubbing my dick. "Liam." I breathed out while pulling back from the kiss.

His thigh rubbing my growing bulge made me pull him into another one, this time tightly with more need of friction. My mouth opened wide trying to catch my breath as he rubbed me through the slacks, getting me hot and bothered.

I was losing sanity and awareness of where we were exactly when a voice called out to us. I held onto Liam as I held my breath, hoping we weren't found. I have had an embarrassing night already, this shouldn't be added. This was indecent of me, I am not like this.

I pushed Liam away and tried to fix my clothes. He stood in front of me then yelled. "We'll be there in a minute." I heard the valet's footsteps as they continued on further away from us.

I sighed while doing my best to get rid of the flushness on my skin. "Will they believe it was the cold that got me all red?" I asked to have some hope for them to believe me. Why do things like these happen when we have to make a public appearance?

I have never seen myself in situations like these get here I am almost every day. Liam placed featherlight kisses on my neck, fully aware he was making it worse. "Nope."

"Liam." I warned weakly already getting enticed by the small kisses. I wanted to stop him yet my neck was only opening up for him even more. I shouldn't let myself get captured by his sweet kisses. "We-need to go-back." I stuttered all the way through my words.

"Then let's go." Liam said but made no move to step back. Instead, he began rubbing my body as he kissed my neck.

"Um." I bit my lips as all the resolve I had snapped and I ended up kissing him again. He pushed into me completely trapping my body that I had no escape, not like I needed any escape at all. I needed this more than I knew.

I needed him like I needed air. I needed him so much I would do anything just to have him. That is how much captivity he had pulled on me, I don't mind anything else. All I need is him, I wanted him so bad I whined because his body wasn't on mine the way I needed it.

"Prince Nyx." My eyes opened to find Mom standing not too far from us with a shocked look.

"Mom." I felt like I couldn't breathe.

Dear Diary,
My first indecent act and I was caught... talk about bad luck.
