"Benjorn, I command you to get dressed this instance!"

Ben can hear his father's voice from the tree line and it brought him extreme terror, he knows what will happen next. He looked at his father's direction and saw that they are the only ones in that clearing.

Ben got dressed immediately, he looked at the Fae king who stood up but turned his back at the human king.

"Father, I..."

"Silence! You know your responsibility as the future king of the realm and that you have another duty other than that! I have had enough of your games Benjorn!"

It's the third time that his father used his full name within 5 minutes. This could only mean that he is dead serious. Ben understands the gravity of his actions, he should have stopped himself from giving in to the strong urge.

He looked at the fae king beside him who suddenly spoke "I will spare your life this time but you will not tell anyone that it was me you were kissing. Tell this to anyone and I assure your death. Chosen or not." And with that, the fae king disappeared in a shower of orbs.

"And a fae?!" Ben can hear the rage from his father "you are consorting with a fae?" Ben did notice that the sky was darker now. His father must be really angry. Anyone who was born in the royal family are weather witches, the rarest witch. The weakest in their line can control gusts of winds, the most powerful can conjure devastating storms and droughts.

"Father stop! You will ruin this sacred space!"

"You understand that you are bound to marry the chosen of the faes, yet here you are frolicking around with a peasant for what? Release?"

"He's not just..." he was about to say 'not just a peasant' but recalled the warning of the fae king.'

"Return to the palace at once! And I will forbid you from leaving until the day of your marriage!" His father disappeared like a ghost, it was his astral projection. Ben realized that his totem is damaged and is no longer working. That must be the reason why they found him.

Ben scanned the clearing first, trying to find any trace of the fae king. All he found was the scarf he was wearing around his head when he first saw him. He picked it up and smelled it. "Oh how I wish I wasn't the chosen so I can pursue you." He then took it and tied it around his neck. Ben then laughed "I didn't even get his name." He then rode the winds back to their castle.

Unbeknownst to him, after Earth orbed out of the clearing, he reappeared behind one of the taller trees and he was able to hear everything.

"He's going to be my husband." Earth is both terrified and thrilled knowing this idea. He had kissed a lot of consorts before but this kiss was different and he craved it, needs more of it. He would need to find a way to see the prince again.
