"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.
"What do you want?" I finally asked the question he'd been patiently waiting to hear and he didn't waste another second to answer, grey eyes glinting with underlying mischief.
"I want you,"

Once Upon A Crown

For the rest of the evening, I enjoyed myself in the garden with Silas and mother while Nico and Val were talking about King stuff. After that, we all sat together to have supper where I informed everyone that I would be marrying Val. 


Mother was rejoiced and had started recommending grandchildren names, Nico already knew and only sipped on his wine while Silas tried to persuade me to think about it. 


Key word being tried. He failed in the end and instead claimed that he would be the one to walk me down the aisle. From there, both he and Nico started fighting about who exactly would get the privilege to walk me down the aisle on the day. 


"I'm the older brother so it's obvious that it should be me," Nico stated. 


"I'm the twin. You know, the one that's been stuck to her side from the moment we were both born," Silas shot back as Domenico scoffed, taking another sip of his wine.
