The room was quiet for a second.
"She…", Patricia cut Sasha off by holding a hand up.
"What both of you did was un Queen like. If any else but us would have seen, they would look down on this family", Patricia said.
Lynn kept her head down as she listened.
"Its your duty as Queen to take it on the chin. Hold your composure", she continued.
"But she started it. She's the one who…", again Patricia cut Sasha off.
"Listen", Patricia said, raising her voice.
"You must have pushed her buttons. We know you better than you think, Sasha", Rosey added.
"It doesn't matter. Putting your hands on someone as a royal is not allowed", Roman said.
Lynn flinched. Sika noticed.
"She was defending herself. I see nothing wrong with it and I'm King.", Sika replied.
Both Roman and Patricia looked at Sika. Shock on both faces.
"Besides that, she's learning. Now, Sasha on the other hand, knows better. You grew up in this life", Rosey said.
"True. You should be ashamed. I will be speaking to your parents", Sika added.
"But…", she was stopped with one word.
"Dismissed", Sika said.
Sasha turned and made her way out. Lynn was about to follow.
"Not you", Roman said.
Lynn nodded.
"You know we have eyes on us all the time. I understand she was pushing your buttons, but let it go. You are going to have to learn that.", Roman said before walking out.
Lynn's shoulders slumped.
"He'll be back, just needs some air", Rosey said.
"He's disappointed, as am I", Patricia added before leaving.
Lynn wiped at the tear.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can do and say at this point.", Lynn mumbled.
"We know, as we also know how hard it is to hold together when someone keeps picking at you. Rosey snapped once.", Sika said.
"He kept shoving Roman, he deserved to get hit", Rosey mumbled.
Lynn smiled a bit.
"Now, if you wouldn't mind finding my wife and apologizing to her. She might give you another talking to, but its only because she wants you to be better. To succeed as Queen. She sees a lot of potential in you", Sika said.
Lynn nodded.
"As for my youngest, I will be speaking to him. Then you can", Sika said, winking at her.
"Okay", she replied.
She left the room. Rosey looked at his dad.
"He's afraid we might change our minds about her. I for one, still like her. Everyone has a hiccup every now and then", Rosey said.
Sika nodded.
"I like her too.", his dad replied.
Rosey pulled his phone out and texted Dean to bring back Roman to the office. After a few minutes, Roman walked in. He looked around.
"Where is Lynn?", he asked.
"Probably with your mom", his dad replied.
Roman nodded.
"I don't like the things you said to her. Your words have a big impact on her. She cares a great deal about what you think of her.", his dad said.
"She is very new to this, Ro. She's only been at it a few months and learned so much very quickly. For you. Its okay to let her be her", his brother said.
"I just don't want you all to think that I made a mistake, because I didn't. I love her and I want to be King, but if you can't accept her, I have to step away. For her", Roman said.
"And what made you think we didn't like her? We do. This was a small hiccup. We've all done worse", Rosey said, eyeing his brother.
Roman blushed.
"Have you told her about your mishap?", his dad smirked.
"No.", he replied.
"Then take it easy on her", his brother said.
Roman nodded.
Lynn found Patricia in the garden cutting flowers.
"Don't be shy, grab a pair of scissors and pick some flowers.", Patricia said.
Lynn did as she was told.
"I want to say how sorry I am for the way I reacted. I've had a hard time adjusting", Lynn said.
"Didn't look like it to me. You took to this like a duck takes to water.", she replied.
Lynn smiled.
"But I accept your apology", Patricia smiled.
Lynn cut a few flowers.
"Want to talk about what triggered your mishap?", Patricia asked.
Lynn looked at her, surprised she knew something did.
"Only if you want too", Patricia added.
Lynn then proceeded to tell Patricia everything. Never interrupting her once. Once Lynn was done, Patricia nodded.
"I am so sorry you had to go through that. I wish there was something I could do then", Patricia said.
"I always had this feeling like I was failing my parents. I didn't and don't want to fail Roman", Lynn said.
"You aren't", Patricia replied.
"He's disappointed in me for what I did and I don't blame him", Lynn said.
Roman cleared his throat as he approached.
"Well hello there", his mom smiled.
Roman returned it.
"Can I have a moment alone with Lynn, mom?", Roman asked.
"Of course.", his mom replied.
She looked at Lynn and touched her cheek gently.
"Tell him", she whispered, before disappearing inside.
"Lynn…", he started.
"Ro…", she said.
They both chuckled.
"You go first", she said.
He nodded.
"I'm sorry, I overreacted. I never want to make you feel like you aren't good enough. You are. I was just afraid that my parents would tell me to find someone else. If they would have, I would have left with you", he said.
She smiled and touched his cheek.
"I'm sorry too, but I also should tell you why I did what I did. I just hope you'll still love me after", she said.
He chuckled.
"There is nothing you can say or do to make me stop loving you", he replied.
She hoped that was true. They sat down on some benches and she told him everything. He could feel his anger growing at her dad.
He stood and paced.
"Rome?", she asked.
"How could he? I'm just shocked, you know. Also, neither of them is invited to our wedding", he said.
She smiled. He sat back down and took her hands.
"You will never have to worry about them again. Promise", he said.
"And what of Sasha?", Lynn asked.
"On her way home, back to her parents. They are extremely pissed by the way", Roman smirked.
Lynn shrugged. He laughed softly.
"I know. How about we take the weekend off and go to the beach house. Do some shopping too", he said.
"You have a beach house?", Lynn asked.
"I thought I told you, but yeah. What do you say?", he asked.
"Hell yeah", she replied before kissing him.
He laughed against her lips.
"I love seeing you smile.", he said.
He couldn't wait to propose to her. To make her his wife and Queen of Ruby. To one day help her become a mother to his future heir.
"Just us, or can we invite?", she asked, cutting him from his thoughts.
"I mean, depends who", he replied.
She shrugged.
"Just the usual. Liam and Seth, Dean and Peyton. Maybe your cousin and his wife.", she said.
"Sounds good. The house is big enough", he replied.
She nodded.
"I'm going to go tell them", she said, kissing him quickly before running out of the garden.
He sighed happily.
