*View Caspian*

"I don't think it's a good idea to keep him here, send him back."

I was furious, I couldn't believe that he was trying to make me kick Lucien out of the castle. Lucien. . . "You promised that if he turned he'd be allowed to stay here, he's one of US!"

"Shut up and hold your tongue, did you even think about the consequences of your actions?" Consequences? "You stole-"

"I DIDN'T STEAL HIM!"

"Young prince, please refrain from yelling at the master." Magyar touched his sword his hand tightened around the hilt.

"As I was saying. You basically stole him from Diana, do you realise that she WILL come looking for him?"

Caspian embarrassedly fiddled with his gloved fingers and occasionally the corners of his clothes, suddenly his demeanour changed from defensive and aggressive to meek and submissive. "S-sorry gramps"

"That's better, now go get your. . .guest ready to take his leave."

Sulking I had never imagined that my grandfather would lie to me just so I could keep Lucien for ONE night! How am I supposed to tell the love of my life that he was no longer welcome in the palace?! Lucien is the ray of sunshine on a dark and gloomy day. A beautiful connection was made, and I was being told to brake that connection with him. No, I will find another way. Sorry gramps. But this is something I want, and you can't take it away from me this time.

"Not today" I muttered as I made my way back to my room, upon entering I felt myself slipping and falling madly in love with the scene that lay before me. Upon entering my bedroom I was not surprised to find Lucien still sprawled out on my bed, that was enough to make me never, EVER let him go.

Approaching him carefully I slid out of my robe and then into bed with him, I liked how his back rose and fell gently with each deep breath he took. As he lay on his stomach I gently pulled the blanket down a little exposing his back, a few shades of darker  skin dotted his body. I tenderly creased my finger along the edges of the areas of darker skin on his shoulders and his hip. A tender moan made me glance back to his face to find him waking up reluctantly.

"Oh lord all mighty. . . ."

"Hmm?" Lucien gazed up at me sleepily and smiled softly as a lock of his hair fell into his face.

"I don't know if anyone has told you this before but. . .You look so beautiful when you sleep." For a moment it seemed that he didn't quite understand what I meant until a violent blush attacked his cheeks.

"I. .uh. . .you. .what. . . ." Reaching out to his face I tenderly brushed the lock of silky blonde hair out of his face, leaning down to get closer to him I tenderly lifted his head towards my own.

"I love you" In my mind I kept saying that to him, but I could never get the words out. My heart was pounding inside my chest and it was so loud that I couldn't concentrate on anything other than HIM.

"A-are you okay?" He asked Caspian.

I nodded and my heart leapt into my throat as he reached out and brushed my shoulder with his fingers, tracing an invisible line up to my neck he gently pulled me closer and used his free arm and elevated himself and kissed me softly. Suddenly both of his arms snaked around my neck as he pulled me down to him, shit, stop triggering me I thought suddenly.

The pure energy and the power behind his kiss was just too much for Caspian to ignore to this point, pressing his tongue to the roof of Lucien's mouth he earned a deep sigh. Becoming entangled in each other's embrace, it was Lucien whom pulled back this time. His face was dark and it's like he knew something, and didn't want to say it.

"I should go, Diana is probably looking for me. . . ." He can't be serious. . .can he?

"Why are you going back to her. . ?" He sighed and turned to lay on his back, tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"If I stay here she'll come looking for me, she obviously saw how you looked at me in the forest." He sighed and turned his head to look at me. "Don't get me wrong I want to stay here with you forever, but seeing what she did to you with the silver powder was just. . .horrendous!"

"L-Lucien. . .you do love me. . . ?"

"Of course I do, I just need to confront Diana. And maybe do something about that blasted group once and for all." I didn't understand how he was going to tell her but the idea was funny.

"Do you think going up to her and being like. "So yeah I can't be apart of your little group anymore because I'm one of them." What exactly do you think she'll do?" An image of Lucien lying on the floor surrounded by a pool of his sweet blood and with a long silver stake protruding from his chest made me shiver violently.

"I am not going to die if that's what you're worried about, and no. I didn't intend to tell her I've turned sides." Few, that's a relief.

"I was thinking about telling her that me and her are through and I have an idea." Oh an idea. . . "I thought that maybe I would go find Octavius Mordex and help him stop Diana once and for all."

"NO!"

"No..? Why?" He didn't apparently know the story on Mordex.

"He's an actual human who became a monster for the sheer desire to take over and created the Iron Legion. And with it came great strength and power." Caspian still didn't like the idea of a new Legion created just to destroy another Legion.

"So then. . .what do we do? That was my only good idea. . ."

"You have lots of good ideas, this one was just not the best one. . .we may just have to go talk to my Gramps about it. He's a brilliant warlock."
