Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

Meeting Her [11]

"Father." He says, disturbing the peace.

"What have you done now? My son?" He asks, unamused and uninterested.  Zane was always up to no good, and his father knew it too.

"I found out what the 'soon to be lord' is doing."

"And what would that be?" Garte asks raising a curious brow at his son.

"He's got a girlfriend." He smirks under his mask.

"Who is she?"

The other man shrugs.  "I never got a good look.  I saw blue eyes and light brown hair and that's it."

"Thank you son.  You have been useful."

"Anything for you, father." Zane bows, before exciting the room with a smirk.

Garroth approached the gates of O'khasis.  He sighs as the gates automatically opened for him, Royalty perks.

He walked through the gate, getting almost crowded by girls that he dismissed.

He only had one girl on his mind.

He got to the castle, thinking in complete silence.  All of his acquaintances greeted him a welcome.  He went to his father and greeted him himself.

He went to his room and closed the door behind him.

He crashed down onto his bed, smiling, staring at a the ceiling.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in."

Zane popped his head into the door, smirking. "Garroth, father wants to see you."

Garroth gave a nod and the door closed. He shook his head. "Shit, what now?" He asked.

he walked the shortcut to the throne room. Her opened the big double doors into the room where his father was sitting on his throne.

"Father," he said, bowing his head.

Garte smiled. "My son, a little birdie told me that you have a girlfriend!" He shouted in glee.

Oh crap. He thought.  He was in trouble.

Garroth cringed. "I-It's not a big deal!" He said scratching the back of his head.

"I want to meet her." He said getting serious.

"She doesn't live in O'khasis." Garroth simply replied.

"Then go get her." Garte said in a 'matter of factly' tone.

He gave a nod and went straight to his room.

"Hello?" Garroth said speaking into hjd communication amulet.

"Hey Garroth!" A familiar angelic voice said back.

"My dad found out I had a girlfriend." He stated.

"H-How?" She asked.

"He sent someone to spy on me." He said in a monotone.

"What's wrong with your dad finding–" she stopped herself mid-sentence.

"He wants to meet you." He said.

"Shit."

"I know." He replied.

"I'll just throw on my disguise. It'll be fine. I'm at the thieves guild. Meet me at the gates in five." She said.

"Okay."

The communication amulet stopped glowing and He made his way to the gate.

Garroth heard the guards ordering to open the gate to he assumed who is Aphamu.

He saw her blue and gold cloak and smiled, snaking his arms around her giving her a hug and kissing her forehead.

"Hello to you too." She said smiling.

"Okay so since you have your disguise on, you can just say your undercover name and stuff." Garroth said, reassuring the plan.

"Okay." She said, taking off her hood. Garroth realized her hair was down.

He rose his eyebrow at her and she said. "I need my hair down because I can't look like too much of a thief because your father might suspect something." She smiled, then bursting it into laughter from her ridiculousness.

She's a keeper.

He pecked her lips. "Now let's go meet my asshole of a dad."
