Zephyr II
My mother died when I was fourteen. I loved my mother, so much. She was my favorite person in the realm, and I know I was the favorite of her five other children. Nephele was always dad's favorite--of course because she is his heir. Growing up we were all close in age, I'm a year behind Nephele, who is now twenty-two, Ciro a year younger than myself at twenty, Solana two years younger aged at eighteen, Rhett a year younger than her at seventeen, and then the youngest Nodin now fifteen.
My sister has been anxious to take the throne but my father doesn't want her to until she is married. Just last year I caught her and my best friend Knoton fucking in a broom closet. Knot says he is in love with her, but I know my sister, she is not. Solana is the same way, she's so young yet Nephele let's her go to the club with her and I know my little sister has gotten around.
There is nothing to ever do in this kingdom and when there is it's when Ciro invites me to the many parties he goes to and I can get trashed and take a warm body for the night. Being prince is obnoxious almost ten out of ten times, I like that I can use it to my advantage but I hate that it makes all the females fake--even the males...although I've only tried that once...maybe twice. I want to meet someone who is beautiful, and genuine and doesn't care that my name is Zephyr The Second or don't care that I am not going to be a king when I get older.
Today I'm catching up with Knoton and my brother Ciro to hit the club, I'm not in the mood, I'd rather just stay at home and read a book.
"Still fucking my sister?" I ask Knoton and Ciro laughs beside me.
Our lineage has always consisted of black hair and blue eyes, that's what Nephele, Ciro and I look like. Solana, Rhett, and Nodin seemed to of gotten a mixture of brown and green eyes. We're a relatively tall family, I say that because Solana is the exception at five foot two inches. Nephele is tall at five foot eight inches and all of us brothers are six foot or over.
I look at Ciro who is slightly shorter than me by at most an inch. I'd say he was the more attractive brother--ladies definitely clinged to him although Solana would argue I'm most handsome...so would my mother.
"It was one time. Are you going to bust my chops forever?" Knoton groans. "Look, it wasn't even a big deal, I'm in love with her, yes, but obviously she didn't bow to me or swear to be mine forever."
"So you weren't any good?" Ciro chuckles.
"I think it was her first time." Knoton winces.
I furrow my eyebrows.
"And she wanted you?" Ciro raises his.
"She muttered some shit about your father and her being the perfectly pure heir... I don't think she was up to all the pressure anymore." Knoton scratches at the back of his neck.
"You hear that number two?" Ciro turns to me. "Some information to feed to Daddy about his little girl." He just loves teasing me about this because when I was younger I tattled on Nephele all the time.
"So my sister just used you?" I clarify. "That's some shit Solana would pull--I never thought Nephele would do that."
"Yes, but I was happy to play the part." Knot exhales. "Maybe she'll come knocking at my door again."
"I doubt it." Ciro says, his voice rough.
Knot frowns and the heat from his face fades. "Shove off, Prince."
Ciro laughs. "Knot, let her go man. There are plenty of women at this club to fuck. I'll pick out a good one for you." Girls always cling to Ciro at the club, he's probably had all the girls in the kingdom of age...and maybe some not of age but he wouldn't tell me.
