Julius

When I woke up in the bed with Phaedra my heart dropped to my stomach; I had truly fucked up. I slid out of the bed fast and found my phone filled with messages and calls. The were test from Adlyn, Leona and calls from my father and I dressed and quickly got out of there. I fixed myself up as best as I could and got myself to Leona's cabin and started knocking on the door. After a few minutes she opened the door and her face was covered in tears.

"What the hell happened?" I asked.

"It's Yuri, I told dad I wanted to be with him and he went crazy." She answered sobbing.

"Where is Yuri?" I yelled.

"He has been in a meeting with our father for hours and no one will tell me what the hell is going. Where have you been I have been trying to reach you?" She yelled back.

"I have had a lot on my mind I got drunk and didn't want to go back home. I got a room and passed out and left my phone in my pocket." I lied.

"Well you have more to deal with than just this Adlyn has is pissed that you didn't come home she was worried. But before you talk to her you have to go talk to dad, Yuri and I love each other Julius." She said softly wiping her eyes.

"I will fix this don't worry." I reassured her and I teleported to the kingdom.

My father had been on edge ever since Hale had came here throwing around orders. He was taking out all his anger on everyone else and it was pissing me off. He wasn't ready to hand down the title of king to me because he didn't trust me. I couldn't wait for the day to come and he would leave my city and I wouldn't have to deal with this anymore.

I had known for awhile that Yuri and Leona had feeling for each other but they never notice it themselves. When my father had tried to bring in suitors to the gala I told him it wasn't a good idea but of course he did it anyway. It was clear that whatever happened between the two of them, it had something to do with that.

When I got there guards were all on high alert and I they all eyed me as I stormed toward my fathers office. I got to his office and didn't bother knocking and barged inside to find my dad and Yuri arguing about Leona.

"I think you really picked the worst two beings in the whole city to be your saber and knight. First Edison and now this one and you are supposed to take over the throne." He scoffed.

"Shut the hell up." I barked.

"I think you need to remember who you are talking to." He barked back.

"No I think you need to realize that you are no longer making rules in this city." I countered.

"You ungrateful shit, I'm still king until I pass the tittle to you." He growled.

"Or I could end this here and now and we can find out who really how the power."I spat.

Yuri stood there frozen unsure of what to do, but I knew he could tell I was dead serious. For years I have to take my fathers bullshit and I was tired of it.

"You would attack me for him." He said making a disgusted face and gesturing towards Yuri. "Does blood mean nothing to you?"

"Yes it does, it means a lot to me. My sister Leona is my blood and she loves him. He is also my closet friend and I know him well enough to know he loves her too. I'm not perfect I made a mistake choosing Edison as my knight, and fact I will probably make more mistakes. But you are not the one to judge with all the mistakes and things that you have done. You had a daughter with a human woman who left her die in a hospital alone, and found her just in time. The moment I met her I knew I would always look out for her and I be damned if I let you hurt her." I said clenching my fist at my sides.

"You think being a king is easy, let's see how you handle running an entire city and everything that comes with it. You too can both leave my office because for the time being it is mines." He seethed.

I didn't say anything else and Yuri and I both exited the office and he let out a loud sigh. "I can't believe all this shit just happened. Thanks man you had my back." He replied.

I stopped in the hallway and placed my hand on his shoulders making him stop as well. "Don't make a fool out of me, I stuck up for you because I believed what I said. That means I'm okay with you being with my sister but that means you better not ever hurt her."

"Man you know I would never be that stupid." He smiled.

"Well you are smarter than me." I replied softly.

"Your acting kind of weird, what's up?" He questioned.

"Phaedra." I whispered I could barely get it out.

"Man don't tell me she tried contacting you again you should change your number." Yuri replied.

"I slept with her." I blurted out in a whispered as we walked out of the kingdom.

Adlyn

I felt like shit when I found out the blow up that happened when Leona went to go talk to her father. After we locked them in that room I didn't event think about it, I was so wrapped up in my own shit. I found out from Kingston the next day that she let them out later and things went well. So we were excited for them and thought everything would be settled.

In the middle of the night Leona came over crying say she had told her parents over dinner. Midas had freaked out and called Yuri up to the kingdom that night. He didn't want his daughter to marry a saber he wanted her to marry a king.

He felt that a saber couldn't give his daughter the lifestyle that he wanted her to have. He also wanted the treaties and the alliances that would come with an arranged marriage. Leona had come over to talk to Julius but he wasn't home and I thought he was at the kingdom as well.

I didn't really know what to think and I had no idea where he could be but it was clear he didn't want to be home. I really started to get worried and pissed when I woke up the next morning and he still wasn't home. I had eventually thought we would make up and things would get back to normal.

I hadn't been here long and Julius and I were still getting to know each other, and now nothing. It was like our relationship had hit a wall and we just weren't function together. I didn't really know how to handle it I mean I wasn't one to chase a guy.

I started to worry about what would happen if Julius and I broke up. I didn't know anyone but his family and friends and this city. I knew nothing else about the underworld and that scared me that all my connections were his. I like Julius but I wasn't sure if I was ready for marriage in the first place, and now I was supposed to marry someone I was barley speaking to?

I had been putting my new cell to work and had been messing Leona, and she let me know Julius showed up there. I knew he was okay I just didn't know why he didn't come home. Did me questioning what my life would be like as queen really bother him that much. I hated that I was changing so much becoming insecure and that wasn't the type of human I was.

I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a big glass of wine when Julius walked into the door. I heard the door slam and his footsteps across the living room and than I heard the bathroom door shut and the shower turn on. I sat there sipping my wine we didn't even date, and we moved in together and now we were about to get married. In this world that seemed to be a common thing but for me it wasn't and I wasn't sure how to react, was it really nothing to him.

It sounded corny but after losing everything and coming to this place I still wanted to have hope. Yeah I wanted to believe that Julius and I would have this romantic, and passionate relationship that you read about. Of course this was reality and reality damn sure knew how to slap you in the face and I was sitting there feeling the after sting.
