The Evil King

5- Fairy Tale

A few days had passed, King Augustus was hosting Adam and Belle's wedding. The Palace was decorated with the most beautiful roses of the Kingdoms of Auradon. The guests were arriving to the gardens where the staff guided them to their seats. King Leon arrived wearing his full ceremony garments in Royal blue not to outshine the prince but to state he was indeed back to stay. King Augustus reached his Uncle before the staff could with a smile guiding him to his seat of honor, whilst Snow White sat with her fiancé. Leon stopped to greet his daughter but florian immediately stopped in front of her.

"Its her father Florian. Don't make me kick you out of here." Augustus spoke firmly.

"King Augustus, no." Leon glanced Florian up and down. "He's gonna marry my daughter eventually. He's just protecting her as I expect from her future husband."

Florian stood tall, "my descendants will rule your Kingdom and there's nothing you'll be able to do about it."

"I already did. Specifically if my daughter marries you. If my daughter wishes to be your Queen and I have no other heir, Avalon becomes part of its sibling nation of Auradon, just the way my daughter wished before she met you. Pe--" Leon was about to insult florian in front of the whole crowd of guests until a familiar voice interrupts him.

"Godfather! Oh my days! " Aurora excitedly grabs Leon's arm "I couldn't believe my father, I'm so sorry I've missed your return..." Aurora then notices Snow White and Florian and looks at them slightly disgusted. " I'd expect you to be more excited to see your father. I see you grieved by engaging with a man double your age."

"Aurora..." Prince Phillip whispered laying a hand on her back. "No need for this my love. "

"Aurora, darling. How about we have a nice chat after the ceremony? Perhaps a bit of more time to introduce me to your husband." Leon noticed the wedding rings on them after he glanced back at his daughter, "You're the future queen of Avalon. Don't settle for a Con Artist from the Heart monarchy."

Queen Leah hearing that tapped her husband's shoulder before Florian would start to fight against Leon. "Its time you save him. Augustus won't be able to recover the ceremony if Leon kills Florian."

Stefan immediately rushed to the two of them "this is a ceremony of Love gentlemen. Let's not start wars here." Leon stood tall staring coldly into Florian's eyes where the fake bravery couldn't hide. "Erin, I'm disappointed in you." Stefan muttered before dragging Leon back to his nephews' side. "Leon times have changed and I beg you to not bring war."

Eric immediately stopped his uncle from losing his temper "my father wishes to see you, King Uncle." Eric dragged his Uncle to where a older King Julius standed awaiting the grooms arrival. "Father, as you've requested King Uncle is here." Eric implied to his father who seemed confused at first.

"Leon,  I must say I've missed you, brother" King Julius was about to embrace Leon until he shook his head. "Whats the matter? Too old for a hug now?"

"Not that, Julius. Our nephew is coming." Leon pointed out to Adam who was visible nervous and feeling awkward. "He has my father's looks but definitely King George's social skills." Leon commented

"I was about to say that, Leon" Julius shook his head laughing. His grey hair shows how much a kingdom could affect a man. "In moments like this, is when I miss my queen the most. She never stopped saying you were just Lost  even when all the other Queens told her you were dead. She's probably looking down at us, screaming she told me so."

"How did she die Julius?" Leon whispered as he observed Adam being fixed up by his brother Augustus.

"Days after Catherine and George. The Royal doctors ruled something to do with her heart being broken. But she was so happy to have heard Hades say you were alive still. " Julius looked at Leon and then back at Adam who waited patiently for his bride. "Belle is a marvellous woman, you'll love to meet her Leon. Augustus fought hard for this wedding to happen, the fact she's a peseant did not sit well with Queen Leah."
