"So, I'vev had the need to ask for a few days now. Do you have anything around your parents house that is vaulable?", You sat up, cocking your head and waiting for Demetria to elaborate.

"Vaulable? Like money vauable or memory valuable?", You stared at Demetria while resting your cheek in the palm of your hand.

Demetria pushed a little bit of hair behind your ear and smiled.

"Either one." You thought for a moment.

You just barely remembered anything from your childhood, most of it was just a blur by now.

You chuckled a little, feeling a bit embarrassed at the fact that you couldn't recall anything.

"I can't think of anything as of now. Why do you wanna know?", Demetria rolled her eyes and sighed, rolling onto her back.

"I just wanted to know. I didn't want you to be a whole journey away from something you know is important. Plus, it only seems fair that you could go and get it.", You hummed, laying on your side and pulling Demetria closer.

You both laid there for a moment. Neither of you spoke, neither of you moved, you both just laid and kept quiet.

You turned a little, looking up at Demetrias face.

She was staring at the ceiling, almost like she was thinking.

Demetria glanced down little, seeing you staring at her.

She smiled, pulling you closer to her.

"What you staring at?", You whine and pushed your face into her arm, not wanting to get all blushy and embarrassed.

Demetria laughed, trying to move your face so she could look at you.

"Why were you staring? Huh?", You giggled and you turned your head away, pushing it into the pillow.

Demetria chuckled and scooted her body closer to yours.

"Come on, enough fooling around. What's up? Did you wanna ask me something?", You pulled your head from the pillows and gave a small nod.

Demetria nodded back and pulled you against her as she laid back, making you practically lay on top of her body.

You could feel your cheeks heating up a little, a blush most likely creeping onto your face.

"It's kinda of a dumb question really but I still kinda want an answer.", Demetria nodded and smiled.

"So like...what would the other queens and Kings of the other kingdoms do if they found out you and me were...a thing?", Demetria scrunched up her face just a little, a small smile coming back to her face though.

"I don't really think they'd care. I mean I don't think a member of royalty and a citizen are really much different, we're all th-" you shook your head realizing you didn't elaborate on what you meant.

"No, not that. I know that they wouldn't really care for a queen with a common person. In talking about us, were both women, how would they react to that? Are the other Kings and queens still really old fashioned with it or are they understanding?", Demetria chuckled and smiled.

She ran her hand up and down your back, tracing small shapes on your back.

"I don't think they care a lot. I think they're okay with it. There most likely is the really old fashion ones but I don't think they'd outright say they're against it. They're reputation would be on the line really."

You nodded and snuggled into Demetria's arms.

A small chill running down your spine as you both laid.

As you laid you got to thinking again.

Her question of vauables stuck in your mind, you had a feeling you had something on your parents property but you couldn't but your tongue on it right away.

As you both laid you thought and thought some more, since neither of you spoke you had time to go through what you remember and decipher what you had there.

Demetria shifted a little and adjusted her arm, pulling your leg over her body and moving your upper half so you didn't cause her arm to fall asleep.

Right as she adjusted you the memory came back to you.

When you were younger your parents had a huge tin that they put money in. It was for you in case anything happened to them once you were older.

You remembered your father burying it and you remembered his words.

' you have every right to dig this out when you're older, no matter what, we can't stop you. Doesn't matter if we are here or not, we can't stop you.'

You sat up smiling and looking down at Demetria.

She stared up, confused and she looked a bit scared.

"I remembered."

She kept staring, not getting your words or at least not understanding them.

"You remembered what?"

Demetria sat up as well, wrapping her arm around your waist and pulling you so you were between her legs.

"I remembered what I had that was valuable.", Demetria thought for a moment but nodded once she realized what you meant.

"Oh, my question I asked you before?", You nodded, smiling from ear to ear.

"My parents had a tin made for me, had a lot of money in it. I remember my father said no matter what, I can dig it up. He said they couldn't stop me weather dead or alive, it was mine.", Demetria chuckled and nidded.

"Do you remember where it was buried or put?", You stopped, trying to conjure up the memory again so you could thing of the location.

The memory didn't come back but you kept thinking of the backyard.

You looked at Demetria and nodded.

"I can't remember exactly where is it but I keeping thinking of the backyard somewhere."

She nodded and kissed your cheek.

"Well first thing tomorrow, we go and look. Okay?", You nodded, a feeling of pure happiness flowing through you.
