As soon as Roman walked into the office, he could see how tired his brother was.
"You called for me, Rosey?", he asked.
"Take a seat", his brother said, gesturing to the chair across from the desk.
Roman sat and waited for his brother to start. Rosey cleared his throat.
"You know how important it is for you to know everything about being King.", he started.
Roman nodded.
"But Lynn doesn't.", he said.
"She can learn, I know she can. We just have to teach her", Roman said.
"That brings me to my next question, how long are you here for?", he asked.
"A few days. We have to get back to the rest of the guys and train", Roman answered.
"The guys will be fine without you. Its time to step up", Rosey said.
Roman shifted in his seat.
"What are you saying, Rosey?", he asked.
"I won't be around much longer. She needs to be ready", Rosey said.
Roman swallowed.
"We'll start tomorrow. She can learn everything she'll need in a few days. The rest will follow as we go along", Roman nodded.
Rosey nodded as well.
"Go on", his brother said with a smile.
Roman stood and walked out. Dean was waiting for him in the hall.
"Everything okay?", he asked when he saw the look on his best friend's face.
"I don't know.", Roman replied.
"Can I help?", Dean asked.
"Yeah, and Peyton actually. Lynn needs to learn the ins and outs of being royal, like yesterday", Roman said.
Dean nodded.
"We can help, I know Peyton loved Lynn.", Dean said.
"Thank you", Roman replied.
"What does this mean for your brother?", Dean asked.
Roman swallowed.
"We've got your back till the end", Dean said, knowing Roman didn't even want to say the words dead.
"I'm going to go check on Lynn. Let her know and see how she feels about this. I don't just want to throw her into it.", Roman said.
Dean nodded. He watched his friend leave and he hoped Lynn would stick around for Roman's sake.
When Roman got back to the house, Lynn was putting away groceries.
"Where did all that come from?", he asked.
"Your mom sent it over. Said we needed food since we decided to stay here", she said, smiling.
"Of course she did", he chuckled.
"So, is everything okay? Your brother?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Its just um, he wanted to know how much of royal expectations did you know", he shrugged.
"And you told him I don't know anything? Because I don't", she chuckled.
"Yeah. So he suggested you start learning. Now", he said.
"What? Why? We just got here. Did I fuck something up? Or say the wrong thing?", she said.
He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"No babe. Its just, my brother wants to make sure you're ready", he said.
"We've only been dating a few months. They can't expect me to just jump right into marriage with you", she said.
"I told you this could happen. I know its fast, but at the rate my brother is going, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time. A week after he passes, I become King.", he said.
She paced.
"You can say no, and walk away. It will hurt, but I will understand. This is a lot, especially if you didn't grow up around this lifestyle.", he said.
She stopped and placed her hands on her hips.
"But if I say no and walk away, you marry second choice", she said.
He swallowed, but nodded.
"She knows everything royal?", she asked.
He nodded again.
"Probably since birth, right?", she asked.
"Yes", he replied.
She knew she wasn't ready, but she would be damned if she left him with her.
"When do I start?", she asked.
He smiled. He cupped her face and kissed her.
"Tomorrow. Tonight, you are all mine.", he said.
She smiled.
"I love you, that's why I'm doing this. I can't imagine my life without you, or you with her.", she said.
"I love you too baby, and I can't imagine my life without you either.", he replied.
The next morning, Lynn was meeting with Peyton and Patricia. They both smiled as she walked in.
"So, are we ready?", his mom asked her.
Lynn nodded. She sat across from them, but before Patricia could start, Sasha walked in. Lynn rolled her eyes and so did Peyton.
"Also, remember not to roll your eyes around royals. Its unlady like according to them", Peyton whispered after leaning in.
Lynn nodded.
"Can we help you with something?", Patricia asked her.
Sasha sat with a fake smile.
"Just thought I could lend a hand. After all, I know everything I need to be Queen", Sasha said.
Lynn resisted the urge to roll her eyes again.
"That is very kind of you, second choice, I mean, Sasha. My apologies for forgetting your name", Lynn shot back.
Patricia did her best not to laugh, but Peyton giggled.
"Alright ladies, first thing is first. Dining", Patricia said.
"I learned this when I was like five", Sasha said, pushing her hair over her shoulder with a smirk.
"We know, let the Queen teach Lynn", Peyton said.
Sasha rolled her eyes.
"Rolling your eyes is unlady like and unroyal", Lynn said.
Patricia giggled.
"How do you think its going?", Roman asked.
"Fine. I only spoke to her for a short moment, but she seems like she can handle her own", Rosey said.
He and Roman had decided on a short walk to catch up. Liam and Dean following closely.
"I'm just afraid that this is going to be too much and she's going to run. I'm not worth all the hassle", Roman said.
"If she leaves, it won't be because she can't handle it or because she doesn't love you. She's here and she's learning, for you", Rosey said.
Roman nodded.
"You're going to make a great King. I'm just sad I won't be able to see it", Rosey said.
"Me too", Roman replied.
After the first day, Lynn was exhausted. She didn't realize there was a fork and spoon for different dishes. The differences in glasses for drinks. Elbows off the table at all times. Always sit up straight.
"I'm exhausted", Lynn said, as she and Peyton walked back to the house with Seth behind them.
"But you learned quickly. I especially loved it when Sasha forgot which glass her wine was suppose to go into", Peyton said, laughing softly.
Lynn laughed.
"Yeah, her face was priceless when Roman's mom corrected her", Lynn said.
Dean and Liam walked out of the house as they got to the door. Dean kissed Peyton's cheek.
"Ready to go?", he asked her.
She nodded.
"And how did she do?", Dean asked, tilting his head towards Lynn.
"Better than Sasha.", Peyton said, winking at Lynn.
"Awesome.", Dean nodded.
"I knew you could do it", Liam said, hugging his sister to him.
The door opened again to reveal a showered Roman. He smiled at her.
"Dismissed", Roman said.
Seth, Dean, and Liam nodded. Roman took her hand and pulled her in.
"So? Ready to run yet?", he asked.
"It was actually easier than I thought. Don't know what I was so worried about", Lynn said.
He chuckled.
"Its too bad you already took a shower. I could use one", she said, winking at him.
"Oh hell, I can take another one", he said, quickly following her.
Liam was about to close the door to his room, but Seth stopped him and walked in, closing the door behind him.
"Rollins, what the hell?", Liam asked.
"Why have you been ignoring me? I text you. I call. I came knocking on your door to let me in, but you didn't answer. I wanted to spend what little few hours we had together", he said.
Liam sighed.
"If they see you come in here…", Seth cut him off.
"They don't care here. They know I'm gay. They don't judge us. Half the guards are gay.", Seth almost shouted.
Liam set his hands on his hips.
"I just…", Seth stopped.
Liam felt bad. He didn't want to hurt him. He grabbed him by the waist and pulled him closer.
"I'm sorry. I just don't want to fuck up my job. Its not you baby", Liam said softly.
Seth smiled. Liam closed the space between them and kissed him.
"Stay the night with me?", Liam asked.
Seth bit his lip before nodding.
Dean sat down on their bed and rubbed his shoulder. Peyton moved behind him and started rubbing his back and shoulders.
He moaned.
"That's the spot babe", he groaned.
She giggled.
"The Queen asked me if it was a good idea to invite Lynn to the Queens meeting in a few days.", she said.
"And what did you say?", he asked.
"I told her Lynn would do wonderfully. She doesn't know much, but she's a quick learner. I also think the other Queens will love her", she said.
He nodded.
"Me too", he replied.
"How long are we staying for?", Peyton asked.
"Two weeks. Roman made up his mind today. Besides, she'll have you to teach her everything else", Dean said.
She nodded.
"I can test her once you tell me you taught her everything.", he said.
"Oh no, you will not. You won't go easy on her", Peyton said.
He chuckled.
"That's the point, or would you rather they eat her alive for messing up. You know how the other royals get", he said.
"I just feel bad she's being pushed into it. No time to learn slow and get use to it", she said.
"I know, but when it's all said and done, she's going to make a great Queen. Thanks to the Queen and you", Dean said, taking her hand and kissing it gently.
Peyton smiled.
"Wait, a Queens what?", Lynn asked, after Patricia and Roman told her the news.
"A Queens meeting. All the Queens from every region get together and talk. I want you to go with me so you can get use to them, and so you could meet the other Queens. Don't worry, I will teach you all about each one", Patricia said.
Lynn looked at Roman.
"You don't have to go.", he said.
"He's right, you don't. I just thought it would be a good learning experience for you", Patricia added.
Lynn swallowed.
"Can I bring Peyton?", she asked softly.
"Of course.", Patricia said with a smile.
"No, second choice, right?", she asked.
Patricia was confused a bit, till she remembered its what Lynn calls Sasha.
"She might be there, sorry. Also, no calling her that nickname around the other Queens.", Patricia said, winking.
Lynn nodded. The Queen left and Roman touched Lynn's cheek gently.
"You don't have to go. I'm serious. My mom won't look down at you for it. She knows you've still got a lot to learn", he said.
"But she's right. It's a good experience. I also need to show up Sasha.", Lynn said.
"I love you. Have fun today, sweetheart", he said, handing her a black card that said Reigns in shiny silver letters.
"Oh no…", he stopped her.
"Pick out whatever you like", he said, pushing the card back to her.
She groaned and he kissed her forehead.
Liam and Seth were making love. Seth swore this man would be the death of him. The way he made love to Seth was beyond anything he had ever experienced.
Seth gripped the sheets beneath him as Liam pounded away behind him. Seth screamed his release into the pillow, biting it as the pleasure moved through him.
Liam collapsed on his back. He kissed down Seth's spine.
"Have I told you how much I love this ass", Liam smirked, still inside Seth.
He squeezed and slapped it, making Seth squirm and giggle.
"Alright, out of me now please", he chuckled.
"But I like being here. Its so warm and tight. Fuck", Liam groaned.
"Li", Seth giggled.
"Alright party pooper", Liam said, moving to lay beside Seth.
Seth kissed his chest before laying on it, putting one leg between Liam's.
"I love you, Li", he whispered.
Liam smiled.
"You know I love you too. You've become everything to me, my soulmate.", he replied.
Seth blushed and bit his lip.
"We can get married in Ruby region. No one to stop us, and kids, I want kids.", Seth said smiling.
Liam couldn't help his smile either. He could see how much Seth had been holding back before, just so he wouldn't scare him off.
"I'm hoping I can give you all that one day my love. As many fucking kids as you want.", he replied happily.
Seth laughed softly before straddling Liam.
