The king had called his two sons to the throw room; he had something important to tell them. He smiled when they walked in and stood up and hugged them before pulling back to look at them. His two sons were as different as the sun and moon.

Percy, the older of the two and heir to the throne, had raven black hair and deep sea green eyes, with tan skin from years of being out in the sun. He was in full armor with his sward strapped to his waist and sweat beading on his forehead telling him he was out training with his nights again. On the other hand Triton had black hair with cold cruel blue eyes. He cared more about his title and power than anything.

Triton was always jealous of Percy, because he was heir. He craved his brother's title and the power that would come with it, but Poseidon knew that the title of heir could never be passed down to Triton; he was not fit to be king.

"Father." Percy said bowing slightly "You called?"

"Yes there is something important I wish to speak with you both about. As you know the annual ball is coming up." He said and both Percy and Trion nodded not seeing where he was going with this "I wish for the both of you to try and find someone to court." His words surprised them both but triton still looked rather bored "I do not care if you find someone noble or not all that matters is that you find someone you could love." He said looking directly at Percy.

Percy nodded knowing what his father meant. Percy and Triton were not full brothers. Percy was the son of Poseidon's first wife Sally, who was a peasant when they first meat. They instantly fell in love and were quickly married with Poseidon's parents' permission. Sadly it was not to last, not long after they were married Sally had fallen pregnant with Percy. The king and queen were overjoyed with the news, but sadly Sally died shortly after Percy was born. Poseidon was distraught it was only because of Percy that he was eventually able to move on with his life.

Due to his parents insistence Poseidon later remarried to his wife now, Amphitrite, Tritons mother. Amphitrite hated Percy, she felt that Triton should be king not the son of a peasant.

"Is that all father?" Triton asked uninterested. Poseidon sighed at his youngest son before waving him off. He watched him leave before turning back to Percy.

"How are the knights coming along?" he asked moving to sit in his throne Percy following.

"They are coming along great father, they all learn quickly and are eager to prove themselves. I believe they will make fine knights." Percy replied

"Good." His father said rubbing his chin "Have you and Nico come up with any new ideas on how to find the slave trader yet?"

"Not yet but we think we're close to figuring it out."

"When you think you have a plan let me know immediately, Oh and don't forget you cousins are coming by tomorrow for the ball next week." His dad reminded him "They should arrive in the morning I expects you to be there." His father told him sternly.

"I will be there father I promise. If you'll excuse me I must go freshen up for dinner." Percy said bowing respectfully to his father before turning and walking out of the throne room.
