Rao looked at Paisley.
"Want to go in together?", he asked.
"No. What if we go in together and he says something that could change our future because one of us knows", she said.
He nodded.
"Alright. You go in first", he said.
She giggled.
"Scared?", she said playfully.
He shook his head no.
"Ladies first, remember", he replied.
She laughed and kissed him. She wasn't afraid of anyone seeing them anymore. Now that she had her father's blessing.
"Sure, lets go with that", she winked at him before following Javier inside.
Rao finally noticed Isaia. He honestly had forgotten about him. He walked over and Isaia smiled.
"Everything okay young prince?", he asked.
"Yeah, just want to get to know you a little more. I mean, I'm use to my uncle Seth or Liam being around.", Rao replied.
Isaia nodded. His eyes never leaving the crowd.
"What do you want to know?", he asked.
"You said you had kids", Rao said.
Isaia nodded.
"Well, my oldest is actually my little brother. After our parents passed, my wife and I took him in as ours. He was young, so I consider him more like a son", Isaia replied.
Rao nodded. He would have done the same for his brothers.
"How old is he?", he asked.
"Nineteen", Isaia replied.
"You think he would want to be apart of my guard? I like your vibe and unlike my uncles, you stay out of sight. If my dad asked me tomorrow if I would want to keep you on full time, I would say yes.", Rao said.
Isaia nodded.
"I like you too kid", Isaia replied.
"Now I just need to fill the third slot", Rao said.
"If I hear of anyone, I will let you know", Isaia said.
Rao nodded. He was going to walk away.
"Can I ask you something now?", Isaia asked, stopping him.
Rao nodded.
"How did your mom and dad meet?", he asked.
"Oh, my uncle Liam ran the training for the Ruby region guards. My dad went and they just met. According to my mom it was love at first sight.", Rao said.
Isaia nodded.
"Everything is good between them?", he asked.
Rao thought that was weird.
"Yes. They love each other very much. Look, I like you and my uncles like you as a guard. Please don't do anything to ruin your job opportunity.", Rao said.
Isaia chuckled.
"Relax kid. I would never do anything to ruin a happy home.", he replied.
Rao nodded.
Paisley sat in the chair across from the Seer, who in turn smiled at her.
"You definitely get your glow from your mom.", he said.
Paisley smiled.
"I think you already know your future, sweetheart. Its been set in stone since you were born.", he said.
"But will everything be okay?", she asked softly.
He reached over and squeezed her hand.
"You have nothing to worry about. Just be you", he said.
She nodded.
"As for a certain person who is about to confess. Just hear her out, you will know what to do from there", he added.
She was confused by that.
"Is there anything else you want to know?", he asked.
"No.", she replied.
"Well, it was lovely meeting you", he said.
"You too", she replied.
She walked out and waved to Javier. Getting outside, Rao saw her and walked over.
"How did it go?", he asked.
"Good.", she replied.
He chuckled.
"That's all I get?", he asked.
"Because we already know our future.", she replied, kissing him.
He smiled.
"Should I even go inside?", he asked playfully.
She giggled.
"Maybe he will tell you something different. Go", she said.
He nodded and kissed her cheek before walking in. Javier smiled and pointed to the curtain.
"He's waiting on you", he said.
Rao made his way to the back. Moving the curtain, he walked in. The Seer smiled.
"Have a seat", he said.
Rao did.
"First thing is first, your brother is very proud of you and the man you have become. He wanted me to tell you that", he said.
Rao felt his heart race.
"Royal", he whispered.
The Seer nodded.
"He wants you to tell your mom and dad that he loves them and that he is always watching out for them and you and your brothers.", he added.
"I just, I hope I'm doing a good job or will do a good job as King. He was suppose to be here, the Heir", Rao said.
"But he is, with you. Beside you, guiding you", the Seer said.
Rao had tears welling up in his eyes.
"I don't want to let him down, or anyone. My parents, Paisley, my cousins. The region", Rao said.
"The choices you make have always been good ones. You've asked your brother for help in helping you make the right choices. He hasn't let you down yet", the Seer said, winking.
Rao nodded.
"Thank you", Rao replied.
"I am here, anytime you need me", The Seer said.
Rao nodded and left. He paid with Javier.
"You okay?", Javier asked, seeing the look on Rao's face.
"Yeah, just intense, you know", he replied.
Javier nodded. Deciding it was best not to ask what it was about.
"Hope to see you around, Javier", Rao said.
"Same to you", he replied.
Rao walked out and Paisley walked over to him. She saw the look on his face and cupped his.
"I'm okay baby", he said softly.
"You sure?", she asked.
He nodded and they hugged. She squeezed him extra tight.
"I'm here babe", she whispered.
Getting home, Rao found his parents cuddled up in his dad's office. They both turned to smile at him.
"How was the trip?", she asked.
He didn't reply, just hugged her tight. She didn't hesitate to return it. Roman watched with a smile.
Her eyes looked towards the door to see Isaia. He smiled and winked at her before shutting the door.
"What's up kid?", his dad asked.
Rao hugged him as well.
"I saw this Seer that uncle AJ used when he was looking for his future Queen. He told me that Royal told him that he says hi and that he's always here for us", Rao said.
Roman looked towards his wife with a smile. He gently touched his son's cheek.
"Thank you for that", his dad said.
