I took Ryan out to a terrace. I leaned against the brick wall. It over looks the ocean. Ryan looked sort of nervous.

"So Ryan what are your intensions with Lia?" I asked.

"I really am in love with her and would never hurt her" he promised.

"Is it true your a thief?" I asked.

"Yes" he said. I have half a mind to arrest him. Which I would do but Lia would hate me then release him.

"Would you stop stealing if you were with Lia?" I asked.

"Yes I would do anything to stay with her" he said. He seems to be telling the truth but not just anybody will just date my princess. They need my approval. He needs to be good for her.

"Plans for life?" I asked.

"Not really sure. I like photography. Maybe, a career in that or anything Lia likes" he said. I nodded. He seems ok I need to see if he is really in love with her.

"You have to treat her like she is the most important and precious person in the world" I said looked over the edge of the terrace. The waved hit the sand perfectly. I looked back at him.

"You hesitated" I said.

"It's just-" he started. I raised my hand as saying to be quiet. He did.

"Do you love Lia?" I asked.

"With all my heart" he said.

"Would you do anything for Lia?" I asked.

"Just to see her happy" he said. I nodded.

"Would you die for Lia?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"Yes" he said quickly.

"I give you permission to date Lia. But if you mistreat her in any shape or form I will come after you. You better not break my princesses heart her life has been hard enough without her knowing" I said.

"I would never" he said. I smiled slightly.

"You can stay in a guest bedroom" I said. He seemed shocked. I passed by him and went inside. I went to me and Nina's bedroom.

Lia was in the bed sprawled out. I have no idea where Nina is. I looked at Lia. She looked peaceful. I sat on the bed next to her. I played with her hair. She moved closer to my body.

"Daddy" she moaned.

"Yes Lia" I said.

"I'm sorry I got a boyfriend without your permission" she said.

"It's ok" I said rubbing her back.

"Don't hurt Ryan" she said.

"I won't. AT least not until he hurts you" I said.

"If he hurts me then take him down" she said. I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"That's my girl" I murmured into her head. She smiled in her sleepy daze.

"I'll leave if you want me too" she said.

"It's fine. It's your first night back you can do whatever" I said.

"Can I sleep with Ryan?" she asked.

"That you can't do" I said.

"Can you sleep in here with me?" she asked. I got in bed next to her. She snuggled into me.

"Love you" she muttured.

"You too" I said. She actually seems happy.

Lia pov

I woke up in my parents bed. I moved away from my dad and ran to my room. I got changed into a white tank top, white shorts and white wedges.

I had on my necklace and bracelet as always. I can't remember the last time I took them off. If I did then my parents would freak and make me put it back on. I heard snoring through the air vents. I opened the vent.

Ryan was asleep. I closed the vent and went to find his room. I found it and quietly got in. He was snoring as loudly as always. His black hair was smushed to the pillow. I hit him with a pillow.

"What?" he moaned.

"Your princess is waiting" I said.

"You can wait" he moaned. I hit his head. He slowly got up.

"Hey Lia" he said streching. I put a small kiss on his lips. He smirked and was about to pull me down.

"Not here" I said. He sighed.

"Get dressed and meet in the dining room" I said. He got up and threw some clothes on.

"Fancy" I said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around me.

"Let's go to breakfast" he said. I laid my head on his shoulder. He kissed my ead. This us the most happy I've in this palace since I was about ten.
