Annabeth, Fos, Molly and I walking back to our rooms after we watched the guard change, witch was after most people left the square, when we see Lee walking with Tartarus to one of the rooms I haven't been in. The room they're going into is usually locked. The doors are closed but you can hear people talking behind them.
"I hate these." Lee says putting on the cufflinks to his coat. If I didn't believe he was a prince before, I do now.

(Add a row of medals below the first row.) "You only have to wear it during parliament or when someone gets married. Just be happy you don't have to wear your crown." Tartarus says. He's wearing a similar outfit but his is black with a few less medals and their's a gold rope on his right side. Tartarus seems to see us just standing there and I can see the faintest smile. "I'll wait for a minute. You have some visitors." He tells Lee who looks at us and smiles a little. He comes over to us and gives me a small hug.
"Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to be with you all. If you're going to watch Parliament today I can save you the trouble. 2 of them are going to yell at each other, we're going to sign something and the prime minister is going to babble." Lee tells us.
"I still think a few of us will watch, if not all of us." Annabeth says with the same glint in her eyes as Athena gets when their's something to be learned. To be 100% honest I also want to see how the parliament here works. Lee's laughter breaks me out of my thoughts.
"What?" Fos asks defensively.
"You 3 look so much like your mother." Lee says.
"Who?" Fos asks obliviously.
"Obviously he's talking about me, Solisse and you." Annabeth tells him.
"Astrlee!" Tartarus calls his son back.
"Sorry." Lee tells us then goes back to the doors.
"His Majesty, king Tartarus." A man states clearly as the doors open. Tartarus walks in and everyone inside stands. "His highness, prince Astrlee." The man states clearly again. Lee puts on a completely blank face and walks in as well. The doors close after him and we're left in the hallway.
"How do we get to the viewing gallery?" Annabeth asks the nearest guard.

"This parliament hasn't seen a motion this idiotic since the prince was born!" One of the older men in the room yells at another of the men who's sitting across from him. The room explodes into yelling.

Tartarus is sitting in the podium at the front of the room. Politicians fill the other chairs. The prime minister, at lest who I assume is, and the speaker are sitting at the table in the middle of the room. Lee's standing beside the pedestal where his father sits. Tartarus keeps looking at Lee. Lee's eyes glow red for a second and he looks at Tartarus.
"Yes?" I can only hear Lee if I focus on hearing his voice.
Tartarus says something to him but I don't know his voice enough to distinguish it. I can see the faintest smirk on Lee's face.
"Of course." Lee tells him. Lee's eyes turn starry black. The room falls silent even if all the politicians mouth's are still moving. Everyone notices within the few seconds that follow and they stop all attempts of talking.
"Thank you." Tartarus thanks his son who only nods once in response. His eyes turn back to normal. "Parliament is dismissed for today. This is the week of parliament so we will resume this discussion tomorrow." Tartarus tells everyone. "Come Astrlee." Then he gets up and leaves with Lee.
