Royals (Rydellington AU)

Flowing like Water

~Prince Ellington~

As soon as I heard that Lori came back from Dandelli rather soon,I knew.I knew I had met Benjamin's problem.The ducks daughter is THE duck's daughter.Her father is simply the only remain brother of the dead King Mark which makes him very important.Benjamin basically screwed me over.

'I met Benjamin's problem.' I say as I get basically running in Ryland's room where we've been hiding Benjamin.

'What do you mean?' Rocky asks me as I lock the door.

'This ridiculous hooked up with the Duck Leonard's daughter!' I exclaim pointing to Benjamin.

'No way.' Ryland says slowly.

'We are screwed if someone finds out.' I say sitting down.

'Ohhh,that's normally Rocky's line.' Benjamin says and I give him an annoyed look.

'You can't just steal Rockys line.' Ryland follows the joke.

'Guys,focus on the matter.' I say trying to think of a solution to this problem.

'He needs to be officially invited to court before Prince Riker's wedding.You know his fame.' Rocky says finally.

'Riker thinks I'm gonna cheat on his sister first chance I get...if he finds out that my brother hooked up with his cousin and ran away,I'm going to have a hating brother in law before I even get married besides the fact,Rydel could take some of the heat and like I don't even know...' I start freaking out and they look at me strangely.

'What?' I ask curious of why the three are looking at me like that.

'You need to ask Rydel to invite him.' Ryland points to Benjamin.

'You think it's that simple?' I ask them rhetorically.

'If you want her trust,she needs to listen from your mouth that your brother is dick who slept with cousin and left her alone to deal with the consequences.' Rocky explains.I look at them for a bit considering.This could go bad.Like real bad.

'Don't wait for me for lunch.' I say walking out.

I manage to steal Rydel from her princess' task which by the way are many.It is like she is doing her job and the Queens at the same time.I found out from the brother who likes me that Rydel loves a lake just down the castle.

'Ellington,I really love your kind gesture but...' Rydel says when we get in the lake.

'What was the last time you did something you really wanted that didn't involve being a queen at all?' I ask sitting down.She sits next to me and gives me a guilty look.

'I'm actually not a queen yet.' She points out smartly.

'Yeah,your brother pointed that out that at some point .' I say and she gives me a look.

'Riker is protective,that's it...I am sorry for what he said,whatever he said.' She says and I take her hand giving her a reassuring smile.

'He is just being an older brother.' I know the feeling that your baby sibling is going to get into a huge trouble.As anyone might notice,Benjamin has predestination for doing bullshit.

'You are an older brother,right?' She asks me after a while.I observe the view and nod not looking at her.

'He's younger than me like an year...Dad,uh had some...how can I say?' I get embarrassed every time I have to tell this story.

Rydel puts one hand in my shoulder and I look at her.She smiles at me getting even prettier.She looks carefree and I love that I can get her to not worry at all.
