Playing With Fire

Her Most Precious

Anyways, I hope you liked the chapter. Dont forget about the question answer thing. I would be disappointed if you dont question at all. *tear* This is definitely a filler chapter & I wanted to show the sisterly bond Lucy and Rosalyth has so into the story, you wont regret any twists I have added.

I hope you enjoy! Please do.

On the side is how I imagine little Lucy to be like.

CHAPTER 25

"Father, I accept the proposal." The 17-year-old girl beamed, clutching her prince's hand.

"Oh Rosalyth. You don't know how proud you make me." Her once pacing father, Carrien Arelian, immediately smiled and approached to embrace his daughter.

"Just. Don't." Rosalyth swiftly put her hand in between to stop her father. It was way too late to repair the years beyond damage corrupting their father daughter relationship.She flashed a painful smile to her father as she dragged off Heyden to meet her precious younger sister, Lucretia.

"Rosieeeeeee." Rosalyth's little sister jumped into her warmth and screamed in joy. Her small braided hair bouncing in happiness.

"Hey sweetie. How was your nap?" She wiped the straying curls in her darling sister's face as she questioned.

"I had a nightmare. It was so horrible, Rosiee. Daddy hated me. He said I killed mommy. And then... then..." Lucy burst into tears and Rosalyth soothed her little sister by rubbing her back.

"It's alright baby. No one hates you. No body can with that adorable face of yours. And not to mention that cute little attitude." She tweaked Lucy's cheeks and lifted her up into her arms. Lucretia didn't deserve anyone's hate. She was an innocent soul. But her father doesn't believe that. He believes that Lucy was the little monster that killed the love of his life.

"Come on, Lucy. I want you to meet someone." Rosalyth opened the door once again to reveal Heyden, staring away outside the window.

"Heyden. Meet my baby sister, Lucretia." Rosalyth held her little beauty of a sister to her proposed partner.

"It's most gracious to be in your presence, your highness princess Lucretia." He fawned and kissed her chubby little hand in the most gentlemanly way.

"Oh stop it. Call me Lucy. No Lucretia nonsense." Her sister said in the most lady like manner stumbling in her own name.

"Yes, my lady." Heyden looked impressed as he gazed at the motherly way Rosalyth treated her younger sister.

"Is he courting you, Rosiee?" Lucy curiously questioned causing a shy blush to bloom in Rosalyth's face.

"Yes, my lady. I came here personally to ask you for your permission to court your sister." He bowed graciously.

"Hmmm... Can you prove you self worthy?" She questioned while stroking her chin, thinking.

"Will this prove myself worthy to you?" He asked as he extended a small plate of Loukoumades. {A/N:: Loukoumades are fried balls of dough drenched in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Basically like donut holes.}

"Oh. Yes. I love loukies." She screeched as she literally jumped out of Rosalyth's arm into Heyden's.

"Loukies?" He asked Rosalyth quietly.

"She can't pronounce the name." She said with a giggle. "Your majesty certainly know your way around women. You even got my little sister in your little trap."

"Of course. I have been trained in the art of seduction as a child." Heyden replied with a smug smile but retorted to correct his response when he saw her smile fall. "But, I have only truly used it on you, Rosiee."

She blushed once again. "Rosiee is what my sister is allowed to call me, your majesty."

"What? I thought we were already using endearments but I didn't realize you are not calling me by my given name." He said with a mocking frown.

"Uhhh. Umm.... Hey.. Heyden?" She blushed at the opportunity in calling her king, his given name. Another one of his smug smirks overtook his lush pink lips and his blue eyes sparkled in amusement.

"You are adorable." He placed a chaste kiss on her lips and retreated to find the small princess staring up at the couple with widened eyes. Within minutes, her eyes watered and her small lips protruded outwards in a pout.

"What's wrong, Lucy?" Rosalyth questioned alarmingly as she lifted the small child into her arms.

"He-he was going to eat you, Rosiee. I don't want you to leave me too." She buried her face in her sister's neck as she cried.

"Oh Lucy, I won't leave you." She kissed her sister's forehead. "And he wasn't eating me." She burst into giggles at Lucy's innocence.

"He wasn't?" Her green eyes wandered about Heyden's face as she questioned.

"No I wasn't princess. I will never hurt your sister." He said sincerely.
