Love Conquers All

Chapter Twenty Two

Alex's POV

"Im just saying Alex, maybe it's better if we just marry the kid off too someone in Smith kingdom.  Unit two kingdoms, everyone's happy." Laf tilts his beer glass and cocks an eyebrow.

"Except for George and  Philip. "Thomas points out and looks distastefully at his wine. My arm goes around his waist and I lay my head on his shoulder.

"Clear their minds that they ever happened?" Laf shrugs. Herc gives an appalled look and slaps his lover.

"Are you crazy? We cant do that!" Laf looks at Thomas and cocks an eyebrow.

"Don't you dare look at me." Thomas warns .

"Come on Thomas, you did all those years ago. Why not now?" He lowers his voice. Thomas gives a death glare and locks his jaw. My eyes widen and I look at him.

I wasnt there when Thomas did it, it would be a long time before I was even thought off. But I know the story, Thomas told me.

This was just at the end of the first war. Everything and everyone were still trying to get back to normal, but everyone knew about me. He knew that even knowing about me could throw everything off. So wiped everyones minds of me. Clean slated me from their heads. Leaving only Laf with the memories.

"Because Philip is my son." He hisses and shoulders tense up,his teeth bare and eyes narrow.

"If they dont rememebr it that ever happened then they can't let it slip.  We can marry Philip off to another an everything's all hunkydory." He smiles.  Thomas opens his mouth to protest but slowly closes it.  He looks at me .

"It's.... not a terrible idea." He shrugs and glances at Laf and Herc.

"Thomas, they love eachother, you can't take that from them." I scold.

"But it's whats best for them and the kingdom.  Philip wont have to tell anyone anything , and George will go back to being George." He sighs.

"What if it doesn't work on George.  He's not fae. He's... something else.  God we need a name for him." I sigh rub my temples.

"Then we figure it out." He hugs me gently.

"There is a, uh, slight catch." Laf bites his lip and I look at him.

"What is it Lafayette?" I huff.

"It might just bring out the worst on Philip. He might just resent Geogre. Like he was when you two showed up at the castle the other day." Laf sighs.

"We could just hurt the kid more Thomas." I sigh and hug him.

"Or we could just make it better for everyone?"  He smiles softly.

"I... alright. " I sigh.

"Lets do this..." He says softlt. We pay for the drinks and walk back to the castle silently.
