Chapter 62: Final Spark

"Why is my house a fuckin' mess? You've only been here for a few hours!", Jayce shouted angrily.

"Relax..", Ezreal replied nonchallantly. "Just bare with me for a few more hours will ya?", the blonde boy chuckled.

"You'd better clean this mess before you leave this place!", Jayce said as he was kicking clothes and shoes out of his way.

"I will! If you do me a teeny tiny favour president", he proposed mischievously.

"What do you want now Ezreal? I'm already at risk for hiding you here", the dark haired boy rolled his eyes.

"Pass this to Katarina. Today", Ezreal was holding a small piece of paper in his hand. "Tell her to give it to Lux. That's all".

"If that means you'll clean this shit up then I'd be glad to", Jayce replied sarcastically but took the note off of Ezreal's hand.

Lux was sitting on a leather armchair in her living room. She couldn't shake that bad feeling that nesting within her heart.

Her mother wanted to speak with her. That was what Sebastian had said when he came into her room that morning. The clock on the wall was ticking ominously as she was waiting for her mother to show up. She was biting her fingernails nervously until a woman, nearly identical to her showed up.

Her blue eyes seemed cold. Her brother was following suit. The girl stood up. Confused.

"Take a seat Luxanna", her mother gestured. Lux turned to look at Garen who averted his gaze as soon as their eyes met but she obliged with her mother's wishes.

The older woman sat on the couch next to her son across Luxanna and crossed her legs.

"That boy was here last night, wasn't he?", she inquired in a serious tone.

"What boy? What are you talk-"

"Don't try to lie to me Luxanna. You're not good with lies", she raised her voice.

Luxanna knew she wasn't good at lying. After all.. That was something that everyone in her life seemed to know.

"I forbid you to see that young man again. You are the king's bride Luxanna. This could turn into a huge scandal! Both for our family and the crown".

Lux scratched her knee nervously.

"It's- It's not like that mom.. Ezreal..", she sighed, "he just came here to say goodbye", she managed to stammer.

"I've tolerated a lot of things from you but enough is enough. From now on, your brother will be standing outside your room at all times. You're putting our family's name at risk here. The guards saw him leaving using.. magic", she said that last word as if it was filthy.

"What's wrong with magic?", she replied audaciously. "Are you forgetting that your own daughter is a mage mom?", she raised an eyebrow cockily.

The older woman shook her head.

"That's not the point..", she tried to play it off as if it was nothing. Her blonde hair were reaching her shoulders. "Garen could you leave us alone for a moment?", she asked without sparing a look at her son. As soon as the boy left, her mother invited her to sit next to her on the big couch. Lux nodded affirmatively.

"I know that this is hard for you", her serious facade had seemingly evaporated as she capped her daughter's face lovingly. "I don't like treating you that way sweety, but you must understand that you are not a child anymore. There are consequences to your actions", she sighed as she took her only daughter into a warm embrace. "You love that boy, don't you?", she asked in a motherly tone.
