"Your Highness everything is ready for the arrival of , King Hunter and his son Seth. They should be here by morning"

Roman tried his best to hide his displeasure of the news as he listened to his father's adviser Xavier as he father was King Sika the ruler of the Mahavia Kingdom and he had the unfortunate honor of being the only son. Everyone knew how heartless King Hunter was and no doubt his son was just as cruel . Roman had long since figured out that this was just a ploy, True The Helmsley Kingdom was ruthless and the fear they inspired in the Kingdoms they overthrew brought them great powerful but, The Army of Mahavia focused more on stealth tactics which made them twice as dangerous.

They two kings had signed a treaty and to solidify the deal, his "loving" father Sika got the brilliant idea for him to marry Hunter's only child Seth So that their kingdoms would join. Roman had three problems with that firstly he'd never so much as seen Seth and knew nothing about him,Second he was pissed at his father for going back on his was quickly coming upon the young prince's eighteenth birthday which meant that he had to be married soon .Sika had promised his son that he would let him pick whom he would marry no matter who that person may be. Which led him to his third problem he was in love ,Roman knew why his father was doing this.

He'd fallen in love with Dean who happened to be his father's servant. Needless to say he was less than thrilled that out of all of the men and women that his son could have chosen, he'd taken up with a lowly servant. When Roman revealed to Sika that he'd chosen he was over the moon but when he'd told his father WHO he went from joyous to murderous in mere seconds. It had taken his mother two full days to calm him down ,that was two weeks ago.

"ROMAN!"

Sika's booming voice threw him from his thoughts , He hurriedly sat up straight in his throne and adjusted his robes.

"Yes father"

"I go through the trouble to find you a suitable husband and you're not even listening"

Roman bit his tongue to stop what he was thinking from reaching his lips and swallowed the bitter taste before he spoke.

"My apologies father"

He looked into his father's stern brown eyes and hoped that his apology sounded sincere.

"Just don't let it happen again."

"Of course not father"

After the momentary stare down Sika nodded and soon he was dismissed. As he exited the throne room the snarl returned to his face the only person he had ANY interest in marrying was Dean and he hoped like hell that Seth could deal with just being his king in name only.

"Is everything ok your highness?"

He vaguely heard his hand maiden Bayley speak as he stormed down the hallway and headed back to his room to sulk until nightfall when he would sneak down to the servant's quarters and spend some time with his lover.

He'd first started getting to know Dean on a personal level at his sister Billie's wedding day. Her groom being her long time sutor David Smith who was a Duke in the Hart had just finished cleaning up the mess made by the stallions that the David and Billie had rode off into the sunset had been hiding in the garden when Dean walked by, and tripped over the young Prince's long legs. Dean had expected Roman to get pissed and punish him, imagine his surprise when Roman rushed to help him up and even apologised. They'd quickly became friends unfortunately they had to hide it because Roman knew Sika wouldn't want him hanging out with someone of Dean's status.

They had been hanging out behind the stables just talking and soon their innocent conversation turned more personal. Both knew that as the only son and first in line for the throne Roman would soon be obligated to had casually mentioned that his father would let him choose to which Dean had asked what he was looking for in a spouse. The intimate conversation apparently stirred up some repressed feelings inside of Roman because before he knew what he was doing his lips were pressed against Dean's. One chaste kiss turned into several deeper kisses over time. This continued until one day they were caught by that stooge of a Royal advisor Xavier who promptly went to the king. This led to a stern warning for him to stay away from Roman or face drastic punishment and a heavier workload for Dean.

But being the hard headed young men that they were Roman and Dean didn't listen and were once again caught but, this time by Sika. The king had then called for everyone in the kingdom to meet in the town square for a very important announcement. They didn't find out until they were there that Sika had planned to whip Dean for his disobedience. Roman however had different plans , he'd stepped in at the last minute and pushed the younger man out of the way. The prince had taken twelve lashes before King Sika realized that he was whipping his own son.

Later that day

Roman tried to be as quiet as possible as he made his way behind the castle and past the stables to meet his boyfriend. The servants all lived in small 'shacks' all of which contained nothing more than a bedroom he walked until he arrived at the hut in the very end and since none of them had locks (They didn't need to they were all considered royal property so any crime committed towards them was considered an act of treason and thrown in the dungeon.) he quietly opened the door and entered .

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Roman was met with the harsh whisper of his blue eyed angel who from what he could make out in the dark was laying in his bed.

"I came to see you"

Roman said as if it were the most obvious thing on earth as he walked over and joined the younger man in the wrapped his arms around Dean's surprisingly tiny waist and pulled him back towards him...well tried because Dean refused to cooperate, The dirty blonde turned around to face the man that had stolen his heart and tried to give him a cold look.

"Oh I get it … you wanted one last fuck before your husband gets here tomorrow"

Roman felt like he'd missed something , he'd made sure to tell Dean how much he loved him every chance he got and had even taken a lashing in front of the entire kingdom from his father that was intended for Dean so why now the sudden cold shoulder.

"what are you talking about?"

"I had an interesting talk with your dad,So when were you gonna tell me that you choose a husband ….that wasn't ME? …...I feel so stupid….I actually thought you loved me"

Roman pulled Dean closer and buried his face into his strong shoulder.

"I Do love you , don't listen to him"

Dean's scoff prompted Roman to flip him around so that they were laying face to face.

"I did choose you but, Sika didn't like the idea of his son marrying a slave and since he and Hunter had reached a peace treaty one of them got the fuckin Idea to marry me off to hunter's little pampered prince. son of a bitch knows that If I refuse to marry once a betrothal has been placed is a sign of disrespect for me to turn it down. The last thing we want is a war with the Helmsley kingdom, they're ruthless and will kill whomever they have to to get what they want even you or 's better to have them as allies than enemies"

In the two days it took Patricia to calm Sika down he'd apparently came up with a brilliant idea. Roman wasn't nearly as suspicious when Sika requested a lunch with him AND seemed happy .He'd mentioned that their kingdom was going to align themselves with the Helmsley kingdom Roman had no idea WHY he felt the need to bring it up in that moment and not at their usual weekly meetings with the army's general Dwayne.A moment later his suspicions were confirmed when his father informed him that he'd received a letter from King hunter offering Roman his son's hand in marriage to which his father had graciously accepted on his knew that he was stuck and he no way out of it the only thing he could think of was his love for Dean.

Dean let the words sink in , Sika had spent the last two weeks telling him how useless he was and that his son was just using him to wet his dick . After all why would someone of Roman's status be interested in him he was merely a third generation servant. His great grandmother had tried to steal gold from the then king Peter Mahavia but ,Dean's entire family was comprised of fast talkers and she quickly got the king to agree to a deal . Her life would be spared in exchange for the serventry of her family from her children and their children and so on. He'd started at the age of six harvesting vegetables from the garden. Dean initially thought playing in dirt was amazing but after doing it for ten hours a day for three years, it was drastically less so. After that he'd been moved to working for the King and that's where he'd been ever since.

"So I gotta watch you flaunt that pretentious bitch in my face"

Dean hated the idea of someone else touching what he thought of as his and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it.

"All i have to do is Marry him and maybe have sex a couple times...we've got to at least TRY to have a baby"

Men bearing children was actually very common in the kingdoms as long as they weren't chosen to serve in the king's army. It was a requirement ,most of their army were comprised of females as they were more agile and were more stealthy perfect for sneaking upon enemies. He highly doubted Seth would be much of a warrior and he had already experienced battle so he supposed that it was up to him to do the impregnating.

"You're not helping, I don't like the thought of you giving another man THAT kind of pleasure."

Dean had always been outspoken, he just hoped that he would be able to keep his cool around the little piss ant.

"neither do I"

Roman whispered as he pulled Dean closer and rested his chin atop his head.

They stayed that way for so long that they eventually fell asleep.
