Discovery

Soon enough it was Cam and Leanne's wedding. The ceremony was outside, as was custom in Amihan's Kingdom. Leanne was very beautiful in a white dress with her hair down and a crown with a simple green gem in the middle of it, as was custom of her Kingdom of Raamiah. Tori walked down the aisle before Leanne. Looking over into the seats she quickly located Blake and the two shared a smile.

As the ceremony was being completed Tori looked out into the audience. Blake and Hunter sat next to each other. Hunter had glanced back and Tori followed where his eyes had gone—Kelly. Kelly was in the back standing and Tori watched as she gave a small smile to Hunter. Turning her attention back to the ceremony, she watched as Cam and Leanne leaned in and shared a sweet kiss.

After the wedding there was the party afterwards. As Tori walked in she saw Cam and Leanne dancing in the center of the room. Looking around she realized that the two figures dancing in the darker area were Dustin and Marah. The blonde watched as Shane led Kapri out onto the floor. Remembering the last dance wasn't such a good idea, but it quickly left when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around she smiled as she saw Blake.

Wordlessly he offered his hand and she took it and he led her onto the floor. Tori smiled as she noticed that he had chosen a spot that was off towards the darker area of the room, "Are you trying to say something?"

"I just wanted some more alone time with you."

"We could always go for a walk or something?"

"I want to dance with you; you should have danced at that last one, at Shane's."

Tori looked down and then off at another couple, "I wasn't even thinking about that." She looked back to see him shaking his head, "What?"

"You were too weren't you?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"So?"

"After this we could go for a walk if you want to."

"I think I might like that."

Tori and Blake moved closer resting their foreheads together as they slowly moved in a small circle.

"Why aren't you in there?"

Hunter didn't have to turn to know who was next to him, "To stand in there?"

"I'm sure you can find someone to dance with."

"Yeah, I'm sure I could, but I'd rather not."

"Hunter, you know we can't."

"I know. Doesn't mean I have to go and find the first girl and get with her does it?"

"Well no, but—"

Kelly was stopped by Hunter's lips gently brushing against hers. But as suddenly they appeared they were that quickly gone. The two stood silent for a few seconds before Hunter took her hand and led her into an empty room. He pulled her close and the two began to dance. The two stayed close like that until a little before the party was over with the two appearing as they should be alone and not interacting.

Tori and Blake walked out of the ballroom and Blake headed back to Tori's room, "Well I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, of course." Tori smiled glancing at the ground before back into his eyes.

Blake leaned in and the two shared a kiss. This was filled with more passion as Tori ended up leaning against her door. The two pulled away when they needed a bit of air, "So, I should head to bed."

"And I should get back to my room." However instead of either doing as they said they stood there in the same spot for a while until they heard someone coming from down the hall. Taking a step back Blake smiled at Tori. She smiled back, "I love you."

"I love you too."

The two connected eyes once more before Tori went into her room. After getting in she was startled to see Kelly already sitting on a chair, "Kelly, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Where else would I have been?"

"No where I guess."

"Here let me help you get changed."

As Kelly helped Tori out of her dress and into her night clothes Tori remained quiet. It wasn't until afterwards that she spoke up, "So were you with Hunter?"

"Why?"

"Come on Kel, please tell me."

"Alright, we spent a little time together."

"Kelly. What are you two going to do?"

"Nothing. He leaves and that's it. He'll find another girl to marry I'm sure. His parents will set it up, or he'll want it, it doesn't matter to me."

The blonde gently touched her friends' shoulder, "Yes it does."

Kelly bowed her head and shrugged her shoulders before looking back up, "Well I'll get over it. I'll see you in the morning."

Tori watched as Kelly headed towards the door, "True, but won't it be hard to get over love?"

"Tori, not now. I'm tired and I want to go to bed."

"Alright. Fine. I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night."

The next day Hunter and Blake were walking in from the stables when they ran into their Father after seeing how the two were doing he turned to Blake, "Would you mind going on ahead, I wish to speak with Hunter."

Blake and Hunter shared a glance before Blake nodded and walked ahead. Hunter and his Father walked in silence for a while until Hunter spoke up, "What did you want to talk with me about?"

"I was thinking last night about you."

"Yes."

"Well before Elizabeth's death it was decided that you would be taking that kingdom, but afterwards…well Elizabeth's Father has made arrangements for when he dies. You know that as oldest you are entitled to our Kingdom."

"Blake's the one getting married."

"Yes. But a King does not need a Queen to rule."

"I know."

"Cam and Leanne will rule this kingdom. But Raidon only has one child. Raidon and I talked and we figured we'd split the two kingdoms between you and your brother."

"We can both do that. So why aren't you talking to both of us?"

"Hunter, do you know the difference between ruling with someone else and without someone else?"

Hunter knew this was coming; his Father was planning on marrying him to another girl. Hunter said the only thing that came to his mind, "Less discussion."

This caused a smile on his Father's face. "Good point. But when you have someone you know you can trust, then someone is always on your side."

"Unless they disagree." His Father looked at him unsure of how to react, "Sorry Father."

"You're fine." They walked a bit further before his Father stopped, "So then, is there anyone in your mind who you would like to share those discussions with?"

The first face that Hunter saw was Kelly's; he quickly dismissed it knowing that it would never happen. "There is no one Father."

The King's expression turned to a quizzical one, "No one at all? Last night at the dance, no one stood out to you?"

Once more Hunter remembered Kelly in her simple light green dress with dark red trim on it. It wasn't a princess dress but with Kelly in it, she looked beautiful, "No. No one." Hunter turned away hoping that he wouldn't give it away. His Father didn't need to know that his son had fallen in love with a servant.

"Hunter, I'll ask you again, no one at all caught your interest?"

"Father, there isn't anything else to say."

"Alright. You may go."

As Hunter began to leave he heard his Father speak up, "Are you sure it's not Kelly?"

Blake ran into Tori shortly after being in the castle. "Hey."

"Hey, did you two have fun?"

"Yes."

"So did you talk to him about Kelly?"

"I think he's going to completely give up on her."

"Kelly's doing the same for him. Do you know if Hunter is going to be set up with anyone else?"

"Not that I'm aware of."

"It's just so frustrating that nothing can happen with them."

"You're telling me." Blake tucked a strand behind her ear, "Come on."

He held out his hand and the two made their way to one of the libraries. They went and sat down on a couch that was next to a window. He sat with his back against the wall and Tori leaned back against him. "My brother has been through so much, and now…"

"Nothing. Kelly deserves him. They should be together."

"I know."

"You know, maybe we should talk again."

"Hunter won't listen."

"Maybe he will."

"Let's think about it."

After a few more minutes Tori spoke up, "When are we getting married?"

"In a few months. But we have to leave in a couple of days."

"I remember. Well, then let's just spend time together until then."

"Sounds good to me."

Blake kissed her on the cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too."
