"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.

"I want you,"

Once Upon A Crown

3 months later, the Kingdom of Lysandra was gifted with the birth of two healthy twins. 


Princess Charlotte St Andres Octavius and Prince Vincenzo St Andres Octavius. Everyone was overjoyed, most of all the parents of said twins. 


"Mum. Why do they look like wrinkly old raisins?" Silas innocently asked. 


"You looked like that too when you were first born," I told him and he scrunched his nose up at the thought of looking like that. 


"Don't be silly, dad. I was always this cute. Right, mum?" Silas went to his tired mother for back up and she nodded. It was simply our family in the room other than a single maid who was looking after Alexa who had just given birth to twins. 


The newborn twins were sleeping in their cots and Silas was peering into the said cots with large eyes filled with curiosity at the sight of his younger siblings. 


"Mum. Why do you look tired? Didn't you get enough sleep?" Silas asked yet another one of his many questions.
