Chapter 4

Inside the king's office the king and queen were fighting.

"He isn't ready for that yet, James. He is still just a baby. He only just turned sixteen." Queen Sara was in tears at what her husband was suggesting of her baby boy.

"Sara, it is time for him to find a mate. I know it is difficult but it is law. Many people have already asked for his hand in marriage. We have only three months before he will be forcibly taken from us. The only way out of this is to wed him as soon as possible."

"Daddy?" Logan called out from the hallway.

Sara and James looked at each other. Sara turned her head and sighed; James lowed his head and told his son to come in.

Logan came in dragging Kendall with him. Logan took a deep breath, "Daddy, mommy this is my boyfriend Kendall and I have invited him and his family to stay at the castle."

James and Sara's heads snapped up at the word boyfriend. Sara heard nothing past "boyfriend", but James did.

"You invited some stranger to stay at the castle without asking permission first?" James was livid. He did not want some unknown person stealing his son away.

"Daddy! Please, just hear me out. I went into town today and he saved my life if it wasn't for him I might have been kidnapped."

A bang on the door interrupted whatever the king was going to say.

"Sire it is Gustavo. I have important news about your son." A rather fat man with a big beard walked into the room.

"What is it?" Asked the king.

There was an attempted kidnapping on your son. An unknown teenager jumped out and saved his life. I have had men looking for them all day but I guess I should call of the search party seeing as they're both here." He said looking at Logan and Kendall standing together holding hands.

"Thank you, Gustavo. We will take care of the two of them you need to work on finding who tried to kidnap him." The Queen closed the door softly and looked at Kendall.

"Thank you for saving my son. We are grateful to you for keeping our baby safe so we both accept you being Logan's boyfriend and you and your family may stay at the castle. They all must work they will be paid and have free room and board."

"Oh, thank you so much, my lady." Kendall bowed.

"Wonderful, I shall have Gustavo pick them up immediately." Sara walked out of the room.

"Logan, go wait outside. I need to talk to Kendall for a second." James said in a commanding voice.

Logan knew not to argue with his father so he went outside quietly. Besides, he thought, daddy is only going to threaten him.

Five minutes later Kendall walked out and looked at Logan. "I don't like when your dad talks about his different ways of killing someone."

Logan giggled and dragged Kendall off to his bedroom.

When they walked into Logan's bedroom, Kendall was in awe. "Oh my god. This is your room. This is at least six times bigger than the whole entire shack."

"Yup this is my room." Logan looked at Kendall. He didn't think anyone in the whole kingdom could be as handsome as Kendall.

Kendall was well aware that Logan was looking him up and down. Here was going to say something when he saw a small corner of the room had a small bed with a table of potions and clothes next to it.

"Logan why do you have two beds?"

"Well I am a bearer. For three days a month I have a period. I bleed a lot and get really bad cramps. The smaller bed is so I don't get blood on my regular bed. Do you see the potions over there? They are supposed to make my stomach hurt for only ten minutes a day and make me bleed only a little bit."

"Oh." Kendall said looking at Logan's stomach. "When do you get it again?"

"Tomorrow. I won't be able to see you for three days so you can use that time to get settled in. Kendall?"

Kendall couldn't take his eyes away from Logan's belly.

"What?" He asked distracted.

Logan giggled at him. "No matter how hard you stare I'm not going to get pregnant."

Kendall blushed and looked down. "I'm sorry. I was just intrigued by the fact that you can have kids. I mean it must be an amazing feeling isn't it?"

"Yeah. My mommy said that it's my maternal instinct. She said that most woman get that too." Logan smiled and unconsciously put his hand on his stomach.

Kendall smiled as he watched Logan place his hand on his stomach. He sighed and looked away.

"You know your parents were talking about you earlier." Kendall said changing the subject.

Logan looked away. "What do you mean?"

"You have three months to be married and pregnant before someone comes and takes you away."

Kendall watched as a tear fell down Logan's soft cheek. "I want to be in love when I marry. I don't want to be married to someone who only wants me to give him powerful kids. He would only show me off. I would probably be beaten and raped and it scares me."

"I am so sorry Logan. I wish I could help you." Kendall watched as Logan broke down into sobs.

"Logan If I were to marry you do you think you could learn how to love me?" Logan looked into Kendall's eyes.
