Hazel hadn't found any of the guys she met interesting. Her sister on the other hand, had a big smile on her face.
She nudged her.
"Who is the reason behind that smile?", she asked.
Faith blushed.
"I can't tell you just yet. I don't even know what it is yet. I also want to talk to mom and dad before that", she replied.
Hazel nodded.
"And you? How did your luck turn out?", Faith asked.
"Not so good. Every guy I met was so boring. It took everything in me not to yawn during conversations", she replied.
Faith laughed.
"You'll find that guy, sis. Just count your lucky stars mom and dad aren't forcing you to marry only royal men", Faith said.
Hazel nodded. She felt bad for Anthony, who did have to marry a royal. Which they knew hurt their cousin Serenity.
"You know, dad was telling me about this seer that could help me find my person. What do you say to a trip? We can invite the crew to come along. Its been so long since we've all just hung out", Hazel said.
Faith nodded.
"Sounds like a plan. Maybe the seer could help us all figure out our future", Faith said.
"You don't give mom and dad enough credit. Believe me when I say they will love you no matter what.", Hazel said.
"I want to believe that, but my fear", Faith said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Hazel hugged her sister.
The twins had texted everyone and planned the trip. They all agreed. Although Rao's parents were a little hesitant since they knew Santiago was back.
They had called him into their office. He sat across from them.
He didn't know they had discussed getting him a bodyguard.
I just don't like this Rome. I know we have never gotten him an official guard. Our kids are use to just being able to walk around freely.", she brought up.
"I know.", Roman nodded.
"With Santiago roaming around, I'm afraid for Rao. I'm afraid for Paisley too.", Lynn added.
"Then we get him an official guard. I mean, he can follow them around, stay out of sight. It just has to be someone new", Roman said.
Lynn nodded.
"I'm okay with that if you are", she said.
"I'll have Dean and Seth do some interviews, make it an asap", Roman said, standing and walking over to his wife.
He kissed her and rubbed her arms gently.
"Nothing is happening to our kids", he said softly.
She nodded.
"So, after your little fight with Santiago Banks, your mom and I have agreed on getting you a personal body guard", his dad said.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"I don't need one. I can take care of myself.", he said.
"Clearly you can't. For your mother's peace of mind, and mine. You will have one. He has already been chosen.", Roman said, putting his foot down.
Rao sighed.
"He should be here soon. We haven't met him yet. Dean and Seth did look into him, they say he's good at his job.", Lynn added.
"He's not going to be wearing a uniform, he will also be out of sight to you. It will still be like normal", Roman said.
Rao nodded. Someone knocked and then Dean walked in before bowing.
"Your Majesties", he said.
Behind him a man walked in. Rao could have sworn this man could pass to be his dad's twin. He bowed as well.
"If I can introduce you to, Isaia Adam Davis", Dean said.
Isaia smiled and held his hand out to Roman and Lynn. They shook it.
"Its an honor, your Majesties", he said.
"Have you done something like this before?", Roman asked.
Isaia nodded.
"I use to be the King's guard in Samaii", he replied.
Roman nodded.
"Its beautiful there. We've been there a few times, especially when our kids were younger", Roman said.
"Why did you leave?", Lynn asked.
He met her eyes.
"Situations happened and my wife also passed. I wanted a change for my boys", he replied.
"Of course, and I'm sorry for your loss", she said.
He smiled and nodded. Roman didn't like the way this man was looking at his wife. He cleared his throat.
"So you'll be guarding Rao. Out of sight, of course", Roman said.
Rao waved and Isaia smiled.
"Don't worry, I know the drill. My oldest is the same", he replied.
"His cousins invited him out, which we agreed he could go. Dean filled you in on Santiago?", Roman said.
"He did", Isaia replied.
Roman looked at Rao.
"Have fun and please be careful. There is only so much Isaia can do to keep you safe.", his dad said.
Rao nodded. He walked out and Isaia looked at Lynn.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine", he said, winking at her.
Lynn nodded. Roman raised a brow, then looked at Dean.
"Relax", he whispered to his friend.
"Don't tell me to relax. If that was your woman, you wouldn't be saying that", Roman replied.
Dean nodded.
"True", he said.
Roman chuckled.
"You know what I would do if I were you?", Dean asked.
"Kick his ass, ask questions later?", Roman asked.
Dean smiled.
"Well yeah, but we are you right now.", Dean said.
Roman smiled.
"I would take my wife to our room and remind her of one of the reasons she fell in love with me.", Dean said, winking and nudging him.
Roman walked over to his wife as Dean and Isaia made their way out of the office. Roman caught Isaia's eyes. Letting him know this was his wife and Queen.
He wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her neck. Lynn smiled and turned in his arms.
"Each of the kids is out. Leaving this big empty castle to us. Whatever shall we do?", he whispered against her lips.
She giggled.
"Seems like my King already has something in mind", she replied.
"Oh, he has lots of things in mind", he smirked, his hand finding its way down to her butt.
It made her smile bigger. Happy that her husband still found her attractive. He lifted her and carried her to their room.
"How do you make me fall in love with you all over again?", he asked her.
She smiled and brushed a hand gently down his cheek.
"Its easy, just like its easy for you to make me fall in love with you all over again every time I look at you.", she replied.
"I never want you to stop loving me", he whispered.
"Good. Same here", she replied.
Rao and Paisley reached the town they were meeting his cousins in. He saw Anthony and fist bumped with him. Noticing a girl with him.
"Who's that?", he asked.
Anthony cleared his throat.
"This is Genesis. Genesis, this is Rao and Paisley, future King and Queen of Ruby region", he introduced.
She smiled bigger and shook their hands. Rao noticed his cousin Serenity looked down. He knew she would be with Genesis here.
He walked over, leaving Paisley talking to Genesis.
"Hey, so are you here on business or fun?", he asked.
She smiled.
"Fun", she replied.
He wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Why is she here then?", he asked, pointing with his chin.
Serenity rolled her eyes.
"She is the one they picked for him. They want them to get to know each other better.", she replied.
"And you're okay with that? I mean…", she stopped him.
"I have to be. He was meant to be a King. He can't be that being with me", she replied.
"You know, if I were in his shoes, which I am. I would give up my seat for Paisley.", Rao said, shrugging.
"Don't start", she said.
"Just saying", he replied.
They watched as Sabrina and Breanne came out of a shop.
"I didn't know they were here", Rao said.
Serenity nodded.
"The twins invited them.", she replied.
He sighed.
"Well, lets hope today goes as everyone plans", Rao said.
"I second that cousin", Serenity nodded.
