"I'm a prince, and Nina wanted to marry me for power?" Lysander asked trying to make sense of the whole ordeal.
Nathaniel nodded. "More like love at first sight, but your status was what drew her to the celebration."
"So Leigh my brother is also a prince?" Although he had a better grasp on the whole situation, he still had his doubts and questions.
"No. He is not your brother nor a prince." Lysander shoulders slumped. "He's the king and your father. You were sent to live with your grandparents; they choose to keep running their farm."
"What? He looked so young at his last visit."
"Another thing, he and the Queen never visited you. Magic hid the farm, so magic was used for visits. Too dangerous to risk them being followed. They've only seen you in dreams when we arrive at the castle, and they see you then they'll remember."
"How do you know all of this? Also, what's going to happen to Nina?"
"I may look young, but fae don't age like humans do. I was apart of the council when this started, and I had to help create a solid plan. We," He made a gesture to Castiel and himself. "will be escorting her and her minions to the council hall. She'll be detained, and the Goblin King has been informed. Since she's his council member, he must attend. Hopefully, this won't lead to war. Girlie will have to be your escort to the castle."
"Good luck with her. Knock her out if she stops shaking." Candy slammed her fist into her palm. She stared down the terrified girl and the newly terrified exiled fae.
"I'm sorry princess." Nina sob fearfully still shaking. Nathaniel's eyebrows rose in disbelief.
Castiel smirked, "Ok killer. I know you want us to get going so you can be lovey dovey around your boyfriend."
Candy gave him a playful punch before shooting back at him, "You tease when you get to spend the rest of day with your ex who you still have feelings for."
"What?" Nathaniel squeaked as a bright blush spread across his face. The color nearly matched Castiel's hair.
"Nothing!" Castiel's eyes were wild and livid as he turned to Candy and violently hissed. "Shut your filthy hole."
"We should go, it's already midday." Lysander held out his hand for Candy to take. While a bliss smile she took it and led the way through the woods back to the barn.
When they arrived back, Lysander rushed to the farm house calling for his parents. He returned with an ill look on his face. "They're not in there. They must have left."
"Lysander I don't believe they did, in the way your thinking." The grim look on her face made Lysander hesitant to ask her what she meant.
Before he had the chance to ask a new voice cried out from outside the farm house. "Hello!" The two looked to each and headed out together prepped for what they may have to face.
"Hello?" The two were greeted by twins. One had hair that was a typical raven black, and the other was had electric blue hair.
The black haired boy smiled as brightly as his brother's hair. "See I told you there were people here!"
"Brother you're being rude! Hello, we were sent by the majesties. They wish to summon the new owner of this farm to their court. They would like to welcome you to the Kingdom sir. They sent us to deliver you to them." Despite his looks, the one with blue hair seemed more professional than his brother.
"Really?" It was Candy who asked.
"Yes, we promise, they don't give out royal uniforms to anyone." Candy still looked uneasy which was understandable. However Lysander took her hand and looked her in the eye, "We should go.".
"Is this your wife?"
"My fiancee. We're not married, yet." Once the words processed Candy blushed so hard she had to hide her face in Lysander's shirt.
"Please follow us." The twins led the two to the carriage they came in. The introduced themselves as Armin and Alexy. Alexy opened the door for them, and Armin got the horses ready.
The sat in silence taking it all in trying to calm their nerves over what their futures held. Candy finally glanced over at Lysander and could feel the worry he emitted. "Are you alright?"
"Candy, I have no idea how I am going to manage a whole kingdom I know nothing about." Stress was pouring off of him.
"They won't simply let you take over right away. They'll want to get you know, and they'll need to teach you about your future responsibilities, not to mention they'll want you to get married before you take the position-"
Lysander cut her once she mentioned marriage. "We should talk about that. Candy, when I told them you were my fiance I was hoping you make it true."
"Lys." Her heart fluttered. "I-I can't give you answer unless you ask me."
"Candy will do me the honor of being my wife?"
"Yes, sweet prince."
In one soft and swift motion, Lysander got up and captured her lips. Their kisses were soft, quick, but breathtakingly hot. Nothing had ever felt so right to them both and the passion that fueled their long slept neediness.
"Presenting their Majesties King Lysander of Amoris and man and Queen Candy of Amoris and fae."
So much had happened once they arrived at the castle. Months of preparations went into this wedding and being groomed for the crown. The fact that everything finally came together truly seemed impossible. Everyone was invited to this day, and surprisingly enough nothing major erupted. It was a perfect day that both of them had long deserved. Even their couple dance was seemly perfect.
"Am I still dreaming?" Lysander chuckled.
Candy smiled softly. "It is a bit intense and bizarre after everything we've through been together. I understand though with you having to get to your parents, learning I was the goblin king's daughter, and that your grandparents passed away, but magically keep their spirits bound to the farm. But I don't believe anyone could dream this up."
"If I were I wouldn't want to be woken if it meant we wouldn't be together like this." He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her temple.
The glazed look in her eyes prompted him to give her a long and deep kiss. A kiss so passionate that it was memorialized with a painting that still hangs proudly in Amoris' castle and admired by thousands.
