They entered the large dining hall and were greeted by Roman's parents King Sika and Queen Patricia as well as King Hunter all wore smiles on their faces when they saw the couple enter the dining hall with Seth still clinging to Roman's arm.
"Don't you two make a beautiful couple?"
Queen Patricia greeted with her ever present smile and Roman smiled back as he untangled his arm from Seth's and walked over and gave his mother a kiss on the it had more to do with wanting to be away from Seth he loved his mother dearly and respected her ability to put up with his father. He then walked back to his side of the table and pulled out a chair intended on taking a seat but his annoying little beau beat him to it. So he settled on sitting in the chair closest to his future father in there the conversation became light and easy despite Roman not being in the mood to talk. His father being the jackass that he was actually forced Dean to stand next to his chair during their meal and hold his glass. Roman could physically feel Dean's heart ache reflected in his own.
Roman also got the feeling that Seth wasn't entirely blind about his relationship with Dean. Every chance the younger prince got he would feed Roman and Hunter and Patricia found it absolutely adorable while Sika was just loving what this was doing to Dean mentally. There were more than a few times when Roman had to grab his seat to stop himself from taking Dean in his arms and running away to a place where nothing could harm them.
"Well I think the two of you will be happy to know that we've agreed on a date for the wedding, you two shall be wed in fourteen days time"
Roman nearly screamed ,FOURTEEN DAYS!? All of the anticipation that Roman had built up because of his coming birthday and finally getting his traditional tattoo was gone. The smirk on his father's face was not missed by Roman and neither was the dejected look on Dean's.
despite his best effort to hide it . Meanwhile to his left Seth was practically bouncing in his seat.
"This is SO exciting Roman,aren't you excited? we're getting married in Fourteen days. I can't wait."
Roman plastered on a fake smile and nodded , not even attempting to match his fiance's enthusiasm.
"This is wonderful,My Son will be married to a wonderful future king and I couldn't think of another man more deserving of my son's hand and I owe it all to you Sika ,and you as well Queen Patricia for raising a wonderful young man."
Hunter spoke with genuine affection in his voice , he and his King Shawn had always wanted the best for their son and Roman of Mahavia WAS the best. Within hours of Roman's birth word had spread about the 'Luko e vaai i le perenise' Many priest were claiming that the child would grow to do great things with the aid of his gift some even seeing visions of him single handedly bringing kingdoms to their knees without hardly any effort .When Seth was born he knew no one but his child would be worthy to stand beside such greatness and began watching the young prince. When he'd received word that Prince Roman at only thirteen years of age had led an army to victory he knew the tales were true and quickly reached out to King Sika. After years without response, he'd thought his plan was not to be. The day he'd received confirmation had been one of the happiest days in Hunter's life.
"Thank you Hunter"
Roman spoke
He knew Roman needed a hand to guide him, that little peasant he'd taken up with would be long forgotten by the wedding.
"Of course…Seth and I will have to return to our kingdom to retrieve Shawn and inform the citizens as well as gather his things….and Sika we never discussed where they will be living"
Hunter spoke again and Roman felt a glimmer of hope that he'd at least be able to sneak in some alone time with Dean while they were gone,knowing it would take them a week's time to do all they planned on doing.
"Already taken care of , The moment Roman became of age I ordered a Castle built on the north shore , It was completed a week ago and as we speak most of Roman's things are being transported to their new home."
It annoyed Roman to know end to sit back and listen to them planning his future as if he wasn't even there.
"Father,Do I really have to go back with you? I wanna stay here with Roman"
Seth cut in as he wrapped his arms around Roman's bicep and laid his head on his shoulder giving his father his best puppy dog eyes he could muster.
"I don't know Seth"
Under normal circumstances Hunter could never say no to Seth but, this was a very delicate situation. He knew what it was like to be a teenage boy and had he been able to stay with Shawn before the wedding he most certainly would not have been as 'untouched' as he was.
"Please Father , I promise I'll behave"
Roman prayed to whoever was listening that Hunter said no so he could spend just one more night with Dean in his arms.
"Ok,you can stay…...I trust you and Roman to behave."
Thankfully Seth's shrieks of delight was loud enough to drown out Roman's groan of displeasure.
"Won't this be great Roman? We get thirteen whole days to bond before the big day."
That sultry tone was back in Seth's voice and it didn't do anything to calm his already frazzled was bad enough he had Hunter looking at him with such trust but, Roman was excellent at reading people Hunter was worried he was going to try to have sex with only he could tell him that it was the last thing he wanted to do ,though telling him would be HEAVILY frowned upon.
"WONDERFUL! Dean, go prepare a room for our guest"
Once he regained his footing Dean gave a slight bow and a mumbled 'yes your highness' and made his exit. He couldn't believe what he'd just heard. Fourteen days….in fourteen days Roman would no longer be his. But , at least he would always have a part of him..
