"Hello~" the bright and vibrant voice of Vernon's favored friend Joshua sang as he made his way into the castle, hands filled with sugary chocolate sweets.

"Hello my dear friends," Vernon smiled welcoming his castle to his group of friends, all holding their own share of sugary treats in their hands.

"Hi hi Vernonie," Chan giggled running into his old masters arms.

Seokmin bowed politely as he made his way to Joshua's side, taking the basket of treats from his masters filled hands.

"How have you been?" Joshua asked the overly sensitive question, with a joyful tone, as to not make things awkward or hard to talk about.

Joshua believed he knew best about Vernon's situation, having lost his own parents at a young age too, the type of pain the two kings shared were supposed to be very similar.

Though in Vernon's case, their situations were completely different, along with their feelings towards their parents passing and actions after.

"I've been good," Vernon smiled, holding his hand out, as to direct them down the hallway.

"We should of arranged something fun to do today," Jeonghan frowned, as he looked around the halls, that never seemed more empty.

"Yeah I was actually planning for us to attend the sword fighting tournament today, but I was caught up with something so I didn't end up purchasing tickets," Vernon smiled to himself as the ten boys made their way into the living room area.

They sat at the long rectangular table at the side of the room. All the boys placed their treats on top, warming smiles plastered on their faces.

"Wow you've really switched this place around since the last time we've been here," Mingyu said, his eyes scanning around the large space, examining the many mysterious paintings of different parts of a pale male body.

"Yeah, I like it," Seungcheol said walking over to one of the painting of a boy facing backwards, the paleness of his back displayed along with just a touch of pink color for the hair, "These pictures are interesting too."

"Who are they?" Jihoon asked, squinting his eyes, noticing that all the painting were similar and followed the same body type. Small and pale, also where ever there was hair, it was a lemonade pink color.

Vernon smile as he got up, pushing his chair back, "Actually, this is the reason why I asked you all to come here."

All the boys looked at each other, then back at Vernon confused.

"You see," Vernon walked over to the picture Seungcheol was standing next to, his finger pointed at the pink from the hair at the back of the painted boys head, "These paintings are very important to me."

They all nodded in sync, to show Vernon that they were following.

"Because they are paintings of something important to me," Vernon explained as he glanced up at the picture, "they are pictures of my current lover."

All the boys looked at each other, and all together they realized who Vernon was speaking about.

"Seungkwan!" Soonyoung said, remembering the strange fella and how secretive Vernon was about him at first.

"Correct," Vernon clapped happily as he walked back to the table.

He reached down and grabbed one of the wine glasses spread out around the table, then held it up, "Seungkwan is the person in those pictures, he is my queen, my everything, and so I would like to announce..."

"That I will be marry him," Vernon smiled proudly, "and I want all of your blessings."

All his friends gasped at the sudden confession, they were all so shocked.

Vernon was not only one of the youngest out them all but he was also the biggest player, so him to be settling down and commit to this random boy they barely knew was crazy to them.

"Are you mistaken?" Mingyu gave Vernon a look of utter confusion, "How can you be so ready to marry that strange fella."

"Hey," Wonwoo wacked Mingyu on the side of the head, "don't say it like that..."

"What he means is," Wonwoo put on a gentle smile, "Why, just why?"

"Yeah, we barely know him," Jeonghan added, "I don't trust him yet."

"I've never really trusted him," Seokmin crossed his arms, "Sorry young master but he is just not fitted for you, he's so secretive."

Seungcheol leaned against the wall behind him, "Plus I think we can all agree when I say this, you're not really ready for that type of commitment, I mean you do tend to skip on to different people."

All the boys nodded at this. Except Chan because he didn't know what was happening, he was too busy stuffing his face with the cupcakes.

Vernon shook his head, "Friends, I know you guys worry for me but know that this person is very important to me, extremely and I haven't once done anything disloyal to him since being with him."

"Well it's not just that," Jihoon sighed, "Remember that time when you were vomiting your guts out, and instead of taking care of yourself you forced yourself to go help him because 'he wasn't feeling alright.'"

"He really wasn't though..." Vernon mumbled remembering, his cheeks becoming slightly red remembering why.

"Also, me and Soonyoung did some research, and we found that there weren't any princes named 'Seungkwan' in the human kingdom, nor the fairy one so we suspect that..." Jihoon looked over at Soonyoung worried to say.

"He's not actually of royal blood," Soonyoung let out.

All the boys looked at each other frowns on their faces.

Although it wasn't that big of a deal that Seungkwan may not be a prince, because certainly the ones they like were not all either. It was a big deal for a person to lie like that to the royals, it was considered treacherous.

Vernon bit his lip. How did he think that none of them would do their research on the subject, of course they would be curious of him declaring love for another prince, especially one that they didn't all know.

"He is a prince..." Vernon mumbled as he placed his wine glass back down on the table, "You see..."

This caught all their attention, every one of them, because they all knew how good Jeonghan and Jihoon's kingdom were at research, and if Seungkwan was going to be a prince, he was definitely not a prince of the human realm.

"Seungkwan is a prince, he's-"

"C'mon everyone," Joshua got up from his seat, he pushed his wine glass up, "Shouldn't we all be happy that Vernon has found someone he truly loves and cares about, why must we question him?"

Vernon looked over at Joshua with wide eyes. What was that just now, why did he stop him?

Does he know something?

"We're happy just a bit worried..." Jihoon glanced at Vernon to see if there was a change in attitude after being interrupted.

"Why worry," Joshua cheered happily as he pushed his hand over Vernon's shoulder generously sipping his red wine, "Haven't we worried enough, our friend found love and we should be celebrating this, not shaming him for it."

He knows something.  Vernon thought to himself, but he couldn't be bothered by it right now, right now he needed to convince his friends to be okay with his decision to marry that creature trapped in the flower room, and quickly too because Seungkwan couldn't stay in the room for much longer.

"Okay fine," Jihoon gave up, getting all his information he needed by just looking at Vernon.

"So," Vernon smiled innocently, "Blessings?"

"We need to get out of here," Minghao got up from the floor and walked to the cells door, pulling at the bars, the loud sound of clanking filled the room.

"Don't worry," Junhui waved his hand at Minghao to stop, "We'll be out sooner than you think."

Minghao tilted his head at that and turned to Junhui confused, "What do you mean?"

Junhui rubbed his temples, "His Majesty."

"His Majesty?" Minghao walked over to Junhui, taking a seat in front of the elder.

"Yes, I'm not sure if you know but..."

"His Majesty demands his highness be returned because the queen is going ballistic without him," Junhui explained, remembering the kings exact words when he told him.

Junhui remembered how it made him feel too. How his heart dropped and how he could feel his blood surface.

How scared he was.

"He needs him back because..." Junhui looked up to Minghao's face, seeing how he had his full attention now.

"He's dying."

Minghao's whole face dropped. Shit.

"He's dying and his highness is the only heir for the thrown."

Fucking shit.
