Aaron: Going to hurt James, I know. Neither am I.He went on to explain how Queen Mary became king regent in Henry's absence and how this was her plan, not his. Aaron: I need you to find out who's with me and James and who's with the queen. First, I'm going to make sure he's ready for my mom's war and then I'm going to try and stop it. The frantic hand movements and pacing finally stopped and she took a seat next to him. Was any part of her thinking about how he'd claimed her as his on that very couch? He brought Zoey here too. The place was littered with little reminders of her too. Frame on the fireplace mantel with a photograph of him holding her.Emily: How?Aaron: By finding the only person who can.Emily: The king.Not too far off to the right of the fireplace sat Emily and Aaron's collection of rubik's cubes. He brought another woman here, but traces of Emily's presence remained. Traces he didn't even notice any

"What's this?" she asked, a no tolerance edge to her voice. He sat down on the table and pulled her chair towards him. When he reached for her blouse again, she slapped his hand away hard. He closed in on her again, this time laying his lips against her ear. "We talked about this, Ron," she sighed, feeling his fingers reach out for her blouse again. "That's my resume," he said. "It'll just be until Duke Maine resurfaces or you find a suitable replacement. You're drowning, Em. You need help."She looked down at the piece of paper. It read:Qualifications: Super hot prince who will flirt with you shamelessly… also multiple degrees. Humble brag. Salary required: the pleasure of making you smile. At this, she did smile. He took the moment of weakness to take her by surprise."You missed a button," he whispered into her ear. He started popping them again. This time she just sat there and let him do it.

Laying eyes on her again frustrated him to no end. He hated when she put herself in the middle of dangerous situations, a specialty of hers. It made him happy to be near her again though. With all the drama with Grayson and Lilith over the last two days, Aaron was drowning in sadness.Learning about Grayson should have made him happy. Family is family. Somehow it didn't though. All it did was bring up a bunch of shit about Mary. Aaron needed a fix. Needed something to go right. Just a little bit of her. Needed his drug, his Emmy.Then she showed up, bringing with her the gorgeous reminder of what awaited him when he got out of this hellhole. She looked so beautiful even after all the traveling. Lying there in her mini skirt, ridiculously high stilettos, neatly tucked in blouse. Open coat so as to show it all off. His dream girl, his princess. The moment she threw her body down like that, legs parted, arms outstretched, smiling up at him, everything else disappeared. All he could thin

2019, March 31st – The day after Queen Mary’s Arrest(Caines, Terres Somnia)Sitting across from his mother, even in her current state, was terrifying. Before her attempt at a war between Copia and the rest of Terres Somnia, Prince Aaron Condor had never gone against Queen Mary Condor’s will. Sure he partied up a storm and ended up on the front page of all sorts of publications for all the wrong reasons his fair share of times, but when it came down to it, his mother was in charge. His father, King Henry was there too, but he had nothing on Mary. What Aaron wore, what classes he took, how he spent his free time. Whether he even had free time. She controlled his life and who was allowed to be in it. Only when she asked for his brother James’ head did Aaron, in the most dangerous move of his life, step out of her shadow and go up against her. This was the result. Her in a pair of handcuffs, in holding, waiting to be transferred. “If your little ploy didn’t cost you the crown, I’d

Throwing them one final look as Aaron joined Emily on the couch, Grayson sighed and closed the door behind him. He would just have to deal with it later. Aaron picked up the blanket resting on one of the arms of the couch, unfolded it and covered Emily with it. She shivered, reflexively wrapping the blanket around her. She hadn’t realized how cold she was, having taken her coat off when they arrived. Aaron clasped his hands in front of him and stared down at the floor. “Well this is new. Definitely haven’t had sex with my brother’s sister before,” he said, the ghost of a smile on his face. She turned to him, crossed her legs and looked at him quizzically. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to say?” she asked. Her eyes welled up. He drew closer, heard Grayson’s words echo in his mind. She kept the secret too. Kept Grayson from him too. Emily and Aaron had a history with secrets. Some pretty big ones. He couldn’t lie. This hurt. He asked for one thing. Just one thing. That sh
