I'm so sorry for the long wait since the last update, but I had no inspiration. But it's all good now =D

Thank you for your patience. :3

Menelaus chamber (Boreas POV)

I don't know how to feel. Terrified because I know a power-hungry man plans to kill our goodhearted emperor or feel good because I was right all along? A little bit of both maybe? It took a long time before Menelaus and his guards walked away and I was worried someone would sit on the sofa and discover Buk. Or that Kyros would take something in the closet, we got lucky no one did.

Finally, we step out of our hiding places and sneak out in the corridor. The first thing that hits me is these two questions; what are we going to do now with this information? And who can we trust? Something I knew right away was that we can't just run up to Menelaus and say that we know of his plan. Not without evidence or backup.

"Hey, I know what we should do!", says Samitos out loud. Both I and Buk wonders what that is. "We should go to our co-workers and tell them about this. So they can keep an eye on both Menelaus and Orpheus!" That's actually an excellent idea.

So we go to the guard tower and when I see two guards I'm about to go and talk to them. But they are talking so I'm going to be polite and wait.

"You know I think Mikolas did a bad decision with not accepting Menelaus offer. We need more guards and besides, if I were him. I would let my excuse of a daughter marry that guy Kyros the first chance I got." I widen my eyes in surprise, and then I clench my fist in anger. How dare they talk about Aria like that! They have no idea what she has gone through!

"Yeah, I agree. I saw Menelaus train this morning and by Zeus! No one could stand their ground against him. Kinda wish Menelaus was our Captain Instead of Mikolas", says the other.

"Most of the guards think the same." None of us can believe this. They want Menelaus as our Captain, that's treason! I don't think we can say a word about this.

Arias Chamber

I go to Aria quarters, we are supposed to go on our date. But after everything, I heard I think I will ruin our night out. I knock on the door and she opens it and her face light up. I come in and takes off my helmet and armor. So I just there stand in my toga.

I look like a peasant compared to her. She has her brown hair in a bun that is half up, half down. And a dark blue dress with pink highlights. She looks beautiful. Aria smiles. "Boreas your staring."

I get out of my trance. "Sorry, you are just so beautiful." She walks up to me and kisses me on the cheek. I blush. "Aria I have something to tell you..."

"Then come and sit down," I explain everything. That I meet Orpheus this morning. How I sneaked into Menelaus' room and heard his plan. That I think some of the guards support him and want her father gone from his post. She looks completely shocked and wonders if I told it to anyone else.

I shake my head. "I really didn't want to ruin our night but I...just", I let out a huge sight. "I don't know if I can drag you into this mess."

Now she looks angry with me. "I am not leaving your side whatever you like it or not! I'm not gonna let you do this alone. I can't stand losing someone again!" I look at her, tears are streaming down her face, and her voice cracks.

"It just hurts too much."

I hug her tightly and stroke her back. "I don't like it when I feel like this. I just feel weak." I take my hand and make her look into my eyes. "Aria listen you're not weak. You are the strongest person I know, and you won't lose me."

Finally, it's DONE xD

Hope it was worth the wait. ^.^
