Roman smiled at her.
"Just breathe", he whispered, before kissing her head.
He looked at Liam.
"My parents expect a lot from my guards. Since I appointed Seth as Lynn's personal guard, stand to my left in his place?", Roman asked.
Liam smiled and nodded.
"It would be my honor", Liam bowed his head.
Roman nodded. He turned and started walking towards the front door. It opened and a woman came out. Lynn leaned over to Seth a bit.
"Is that his mom?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Do I bow to her?", she asked.
"Yes, don't forget your head. Eyes on the floor unless she tells you otherwise", he whispered.
"Watch me", Peyton whispered.
Lynn nodded and let Peyton take the lead. The woman gasped as she stopped Peyton and hugged her. Dean smiled and placed his hand gently on Peyton's back.
"I'm so happy for you. I like her way better than whatever her name was", she said, cupping Dean's chin.
"We all do, mom", Roman said.
He turned to see Lynn. He smiled before holding his hand out for her to take. She did and he pulled her in. His mom looked from him to Lynn. She loved seeing her son so happy.
Lynn was going to bow, but was quickly stopped by his mother. She shook her head.
"You don't ever bow to me.", Patricia said.
Lynn nodded.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Roselynn, but she goes by just Lynn", Roman said.
"Your parents can call me whatever they want", Lynn said.
Patricia giggled.
"Lynn, if its okay", Patricia said.
Lynn nodded.
"Now come, your dad and brother want to see you. Also so they can meet Lynn", Patricia said to her son.
Roman walked beside his mom.
"Is Vanessa here?", he asked, glancing back to see Seth explaining certain areas in the house to Lynn.
"Not yet, but she will be. Just because you two don't get along doesn't mean she isn't invited. Rosey wanted to see all of you", his mom said.
Roman nodded. He wouldn't argue against his brother's last wishes. As they got closer to the back, he could hear his brother's cough. He remembers well how it started with a cough. One his brother chose to ignore.
"Its just a cough, will be gone by next week", his brother had said and winked.
He was so wrong. His cough had gotten worse, then joined a few other symptoms that no one could ignore. A year later, he remembers being told that Rosey could no longer be King.
His sister had stood up, waiting for their dad to appoint her or her husband. The look on her face was priceless when they were told no, and not only that but that Roman was going to take the crown.
His sister had grown cold towards him since then.
"And just keep Lynn close to you or one of your guards", his mom whispered.
Roman nodded. He slowed down and let his mom take the lead. He took Lynn's hand and placed it on his arm. Seth stepped back a bit with Peyton, Liam and Dean went up ahead.
"Did she like me?", Lynn asked.
Roman smirked and winked. She groaned.
"That is not an answer", she growled.
He laughed softly.
"She loved you babe", he replied.
Lynn relaxed more. She knew how close Roman was to his mom. The most important person to impress. Two men came into view when they entered the back room. An older man, which she guessed was Roman's dad.
"Sweetheart, this is my dad, Sika Reigns", Roman introduced.
She was going to bow, but he stopped her.
"She is lovely, Roman. She is going to make a wonderful Queen one day", his dad said, winking.
Lynn blushed as Roman smiled proudly.
"I thought so", Roman said, winking at Lynn.
Roman tugged on her hand a bit, moving her towards his brother. She could see how sick he looked. Now she knew she made the right choice in getting Roman to come and see him.
"Well, how in the hell did my little brother land you? You are too gorgeous for this kid", Rosey said.
Lynn giggled.
"He got lucky I guess. I mean, it's a good thing he doesn't give up easily, right", Lynn teased Roman.
Roman laughed and so did Rosey.
"I like her, Ro.", he said to his little brother.
She noticed how weak his brother suddenly became. Roman noticed too.
"We are actually a bit exhausted. The trip was long. Mind if we get a few hours of sleep before dinner?", Roman asked.
"Of course.", his mom said.
"Yeah, me too.", Rosey added.
Two guards came over and wheeled Rosey away. Roman sighed sadly and Lynn rubbed his back.
"You're right, I do like him", Lynn said.
Roman smiled.
"Come on, I am actually tired", Lynn said.
They started for the stairs. She noticed how Dean and Liam followed. Seth and Peyton too. Roman chuckled and leaned into her.
"Let them know they are dismissed.", he whispered.
She raised a brow. Before stopping.
"Dismissed", Lynn said.
Liam's shoulders slumped.
"You told her that? Now I will never hear the end of it", Liam said.
They all laughed. Dean bowed.
"See you two later", Dean winked, before taking Peyton's hand and pulling her away.
Seth held his hand out to Liam. Lynn noticed her brother hesitate before Seth remembered that they weren't out to them. He cleared his throat.
"Let me show you to your room, Liam", Seth said.
Liam nodded and followed. Roman lifted Lynn over his shoulder and she laughed.
"Babe", she said.
He set her down in front of a door. He opened it and walked in. She hesitated before following.
"Are we allowed to sleep in the same room?", she asked.
He sighed.
"No, but my room is right across from yours, and there is nothing to stop me from sneaking over.", he replied.
She leaned into him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I like the sound of that", she replied.
"I bet you do", he mumbled against her lips.
"Oh, I didn't know you brought company", someone interrupted.
He sighed. He was blocking whoever that woman was at the door. He turned.
"Hi to you too, Vanessa", he said.
Lynn came face to face with his sister.
