Chapter Sixteen:


Jamie scooted over to the king side, touched the king leg with his finger and then whisper, “your highness may I have a word with you after dinner?”

Sebastian nodded his head, and continue on with his meal. When dinner was over and the kids were put to bed, Sebastian follow Jamie outside. "Jamie whats on your mind?” he asked.

“Its Eli, I saw him crying, when he thought that I and the kids wasn't around. Your highness you must know what is wrong with Eli?”

Sebastian reached out and grabbed Jamie by the waist, he pulled Jamie gently toward him, he smiled down at Jamie once he have him in his embrace. “Don't worry about Eli he will be fine. And I'm sure that if Eli wants you to know he will tell you himself, its not my place to speak for him, do you understand Jamie?”

Jamie nod his head to show that he understand what the king was telling him, he leaned his head back and rested it against the king chest, “I still want to help Eli, but I will wait until he confide in me, he is like an older brother to me. I wish more then anything to see him happy, he had done a lot for me and the least I could do is try to do what ever I can to help ease his burden.”

Sebastian hugged Jamie tighter, “if Eli heard what you just said he would be very happy,” Sebastian commented, knowing very well that Eli was listening to their conversation. He scoop Jamie up into his arms.

“Your highness there is no need for you to carry me I could walk on my own," Jamie protested with his eyes shyly looking down at the ground.

Sebastian ignored the boy protest and carry him down to the stream, instead of back to the cottage. Eli came out from behind the tree and wiped the tear away, what Jamie said had brought tears to his eyes, he never thought that the boy would care for him that much, but none the less the boy care for him and that make him adore the boy more then ever. When the time is right he will confide in the boy, right now is not the right time. With that thought Eli went back to the cottage.

"This isn't at all proper, your highness," Jamie whispered. His breath caught in his throat, then a shiver race through his whole bodies. The king was nibbling on his ears. Whispering in great details all the things he was going to do to him. he went limp against the king.

Sebastian lay the boy down on the ground and leaned back against the big rock behind him. he took his time undressing the boy, and when he was done he pulled the boy up against his hardness. “Now I'm going to show you how much I love you Jamie?”

“Your highness,” Jamie gasped. He wrapped his arms around the king neck. Their mouth met and they kiss. Sebastian forced his mouth away from the boy sweet lips and lowered his head to the boy pink nipples. He takes one in his mouth and ravished it.

Jamie cried out in pleasure, clinging tightly to the king shoulders. No longer able to hold back, Sebastian thrust inside the boy all at once. He whispered, “I love you,” to the boy beside the boy ears as he thrust in and out of the boy hot opening. Jamie clung to the King and cried out his names. They came together.

Leon watched from afar, Theron was smiling, god the man was a sight to behold, he had always thought that Arian was beautiful but Theron prove him wrong, the man is not only beautiful on the outside but inside as well. He never saw his servant take a liking to anyone this much before, not even Arian, he laughed quietly to himself then, apparently his servant know what kind of person Arian is, and he was too blind by Arian beauty to see pass that. As if sensing his eyes on him Theron turned and smile at him, then he walked toward him.

“Good morning Leon,” Theron greeted the man with a smile.

“Good morning to you too Theron, I see that my first husband wedding robes fit you very well, I must say that you look enchanting,” Leon complimented with a smile of his own. And he meant every word.

Theron blushed at the compliment, “thank you," he said his voice so low that Leon was the only one that heard it.

“Tell me Theron why didn't you want me to buy you a knew wedding robe, I thought that all brides like to have a wedding robe to call their own.” Leon asked.

Theron smiled, "that might be truth Leon, but why waste the money on a new wedding robes when there is a good one already, beside we could put that money to better use for the people of your country. Don't you think Leon?”

Leon reached out and caress Theron cheek with the back of his hands, “you are so different from Arian, and I am starting to see why your brother the king of Zhanthia betroth you to me, I must thank him next time when I see him.” after he just said that his guard came walking toward him. They kneel and inform him that the king of Nary had arrived. Leon dismissed the guard and takes Theron hand.

“Let us go meet this king that had taken my son captive.”

Theron gazed up at Leon, “promise me that you won't do anything stupid Leon, I know what kind of person the king of Nary is, he is capable of things that you could never imagined.”

Leon pat Theron hand gently, “I know, and I promised you that I won't do or say anything that will get my son kill.” he said with a small smile. Happy with Leon words of promise, Theron allow Leon to led them to meet with the king of Nary.

Kade leaned against the window ledge and watched the people below him running from left to right trying to get everything in order for his father wedding, any minute now his father will walked through the door and see what he had become. The sound of footsteps walking toward him make him tense up. He felt a hand on both his shoulders before the man whispered beside his ears, “Enjoying your little freedom my pet.”

He turned around and nodded his head, the man lifted his chin up with his thumb and gazes into his eyes, “I heard from the king of Zhanthia that your father is the king here and he wished for more then anything to have you his son by his side on his wedding day. To tell you the truth my pet, I couldn't care less what your father wanted, but since the king of Zhanthia keep bringing up favors that I owe him back when we were young I have no choice then to agree to attend this wedding. Be grateful my pet once we returned to my country you will be back in your cage.”

Kade turned his head to the side and will himself not to cry, he had swore not to shed another tears, crying will not help him, he have yet to resign himself to his faith, if there is no other way out for him then he will choose death. It kills him to have to listen and obey the man, but for his father and his country sake he have to bite his lips and bear it till the end.

The door flew opened and Kade turned toward it to see his father, he ran up to his father and hugged him tightly not waiting for permission from the man next to him. The king of Nary walked over to the chair and sat down, he pick up his wine and drink it while observing his pet touching reunion with his father.

Leon hugged his son with all the love he had in him for his beloved son and whispered, “I'm sorry.” over and over again. Kade wish more then anything to tell his father that it was not his fault that this happened to him, but the only thing he could do was hug his father and cried. Finally Leon was able to pulled away from his son and took a good look at his son appearance.

"You have lost some weight Kade, promise me that you will keep your self healthy if not for yourself for me and your brother Caelane.”

Kade nod his head and smile up at his father, then he turned to Theron and takes the man hand, he takes his father hand as well and connected their hand together, it was his way of telling the two of them that he approve of this wedding. Theron hugged the boy and kiss the boy on the forehead, he then whispered, “thank you for accepting me Kade, it makes me very happy to be your dad.”

“Alright enough with this already, Theron tell me where is your brother? I want a word with him," the king of Nary interrupted the three of them on purpose. He was tired of seeing the touching scene play out before him.

Theron turned to the king of Nary, “my brother the king of Zhanthia is not here at the moment I send words to him that you had arrived he should be here tonight or tomorrow.”

The king of Nary stood up and walked over to the three he grabbed his pet by the arms and yank him toward him, “then I shall retired to my room with my pet,” with that said the king of Nary left the room taking Kade with him.

Leon wanted to put a sword through the man, his hands curled into a tight fist, that his finger nails dug deep into his flesh. Theron turned to Leon and saw the blood dripping from Leon fist, he takes it and uncurled it. “I know what your feeling is right now, Leon,but it won't do you any good to hurt yourself.”

“I know... but..” Leon spin around and slam his fist hard into the wall and takes off before Theron could stop him. Theron have no choice then to chase after Leon.

The water felt better then Caelane could ever imagined, after searching for the spring for so long and still have not come across it he and Devin was sweating like crazy from the hot weather, when they happened to see the lake they both strip out of their clothes and jump into the cold water right away.

“Caelane I'm done do you want me to stay and wait for you?” Devin asked as he got out of the water to dress.

Caelane shakes his head with a smile, "I think that I'm pretty safe out here alone Devin, you could head back first,” he replied

“Are you sure?” Devin asked unsure if he should leave Caelane alone.

Caelane nod his head, "yes i'm sure,Devin, now go," he answered. Then he splashes some of the water at Devin.

Devin takes a step back and give his friend a I will get you back look, after hesitating for a while Devin decided to do as Caelane wanted and he left.

Caelane didn't want to keep depending on his friend to watch over him, that was why he sent his friend away, it's time for him to learn to be independent, Devin can't be by his side all the times whenever he run into troubles, if he don't be come independent now and learn to take care of himself he will never survived to returned home to his father and Jamie. With that thought he went back to bathing. He swim around the lake for a little while. After he was done he turned around to swim back to the bank, he gasped, sitting under the tree was the mean man he saw the day he arrived here. The man was watching him he had no doubt about it.

Ray was surprised as hell to find the boy swimming in the lake next to his favorite spot. The only reason why he didn't alert the boy of his presence was because the boy seems to be enjoying himself and he find himself mesmerized by the sight of the boy body. Caelane had no choice then to swim to the bank and get his clothes even if he didn't want to if he stay in the water too long he will properly catch a cold and that will make Devin worry. And he didn't want that.

Their gazes locked as Caelane walked out of the water, his clothes was next to the mean man. He was flustered as he reached for his clothes, the mean man didn't say a word as he dress quickly. But after he was done the man spoke up.

“You seem to be having fun in the water.”

Caelane eyes flew open wide, he knew it the man had been watching him, just as he thought. Pushing his wet hair back Caelane stared down at the man. “you sir are not a gentlemen,” with that said Caelane race back to the castle, Caelane didn't even feel the silver wing bracelet that Jamie gave him slip of his wrist when he ran off.

Ray have no idea what the boy meant when the boy accused him of not being a gentlemen, he happened to glance down then and saw the silver wing bracelet that belong to Caelane, Ray knew immediately who it belong to for he had seen it around the boy wrist the day the boy arrived. He pick it up and make his way back to the castle as well.

That night Caelane went into a frantic, “Devin its not here, I can't find it anywhere,” Caelane cried as he searched for his missing bracelet.

“What is it that you can't find Caelane?” Devin asked as he look up from the letter he been writing for the last hour before Caelane went hysterical searching for his bracelet.

“My bracelet, the one that my guardian angel gave to me before we left remember,” Caelane replied still looking for the bracelet.

"Oh that silver wing bracelet, could you have drop it when we were out searching for the spring," Devin commented.

Caelane stopped what he was doing and turned to his friend with puppy eyes, "do you think you could help me searched for it?" He asked sweetly.

Devin eyes widned, "are you suggesting that we go out right now at this hour and search for your bracelet Caelane?”

Caelane nod his head and await Devin replied. Devin sighed and stood up from his chair, "Caelane is it really that important to you that bracelet?" He asked.

Caelane nod his head once more, some how Devin knew that Caelane would nod his head to his question. “Alright, I will go with you Caelane but we have to sneak out, you remembered that we are not allow to wonder outside of the castle at night don't you?”

“Yes I remember Devin, I promise to be very quiet when we sneak out.”

Devin put his letter away and in no time at all the two of them was out the door, Ray and Jay was in the middle of a discussion when Ray spotted the two boys sneaking out of the castle, "look like our guests does not heed our warning," Ray commented.

"What?" Jay shouted, Ray spun the man around by the shoulder, and they both watched Caelane and Devin slip out of the castle.

“Ray I know that you will think that this is a bother but we have to go after them, if something happen to those two, Eli, will have our heads not to mention our lord as well.”

“They are your responsibility not mine,” with that said Ray walked off leaving Jay no choice then to go after the boy himself. Shit he hope that they won't come out before he reached the two brats. He don't feel like returning back to the castle with two dead bodies.
