"Tell me little brother, how goes the duties?" laughed Diamond, confident the answer would be positive.

"Very well your majesty" Endymion said, proudly as he bowed." The Army trains day and night, Majesty."

Diamond leaned back in his chair, a wide smirk on his face as he chuckled. He held up his class of wine and swirled it around, watching the red liquid and becoming fascinated by it. "Who'd have thought little brother -that I'd be ruling over 4 Kingdoms?"

Endymion nodded "Indeed Sire."

"Sire, may I ask-How is your relationship with the Queen at the moment?" Endymion's face was a mask, Diamond turned to him and leaned forward as Endymion grabbed a chair and sat down.

"She bled last night. Time is running out, I need an heir!" He thumped the table, Endymion secretly wished he was the fist and Diamond the table.

"You do have a daughter." Endymion reminded.

"If she's even mine. What child has pink hair from blonde and white? I heard she had been having an affair!" He muttered violently.

Endymion raised an eyebrow, "I don't think she did. That child is yours Diamond, definitely. Serenity is faithful and you know it."

"Until she can give me a son to rule after me, she will be treated as inferior. She is my Queen, "he sighed heavily "Guess I should have thought about that before I was arranged to marry her! Next time I check to see if they can give a son."

"Next time? And how would you check? You'd soil them first?" Endymion asked, curious.

"I've already had many mistresses, 5 have bore me bastard sons. Definitely mine. So it's obviously NOT my problem. I seemed to have taken an interest in that red head, who always wears a purple dress, what's her name again?" he winked at Endymion, Endymion played along and gave a weak grin. "Have you tested that water yet little brother?"

"Yes, thank you for suggesting her to Me." ....more like a pain in the backside, and rubbish at sex! He thought. "She's, um-feisty."

"Mind if I borrow her for a night?" diamond asked and winked.

"Go ahead." He laughed, playing along. He hated trying to please his brother and act like him. "That's what she's here for anyway."

"Endymion, keep an eye on that wife of mine would you. I don't want her laying eyes on any other man. I am still her husband. I will be away for the month after tonight, on royal business as you know. I leave you as Regent." Diamond instructed. Endymion couldn't help but think that Diamond was going too far.

Endymion stood up and bowed, "As you wish, My King."

As Endymion shut the door he felt he could breathe again, he needed to cool down his temper. That son of a- He was interrupted by Serenity's footsteps.

He bowed, "My Queen. Diamond is working on documents."

"She didn't smile, but the familiar fear flashed in her blue eyes, "Oh. He sent for me."

Endymion nodded, "Serenity, be careful."

"You know Diamond. He sends for me daily. Around this time- For –one- thing." She stammered. He opened his mouth to speak but she rushed and pushed past him. He heard the door close and walked away.

The hour of lighting was upon the kingdom, dinner was being served, and Endymion sat across from Serenity in Diamonds chair, the knights of the army around them. Serenity looked at her plate, remained cloaked with her long curls hiding her face. She didn't utter a single word but seemed to take interest in playing with her food. In the low lighting he caught a glimpse of her pale arm, which she was trying her best to keep hidden, which bore- what looked like a purple and black bruise along with a few scratches crusted in dry blood. He was just thankful her daughter couldn't see her as she was now. Rini was too young to understand. He felt anger for subjecting his daughter to this too. When she'd grow older- she'd understand -and maybe- go off the rails! He groaned.

Serenity's blue eyes looked up and caught Darien's eye, she flushed. Fire, not even a spark was left in those eyes. The light had gone. As the un-watered wine was served he noted she refused and drank only water. He sighed; he had to watch Serenity's every move for Diamond. He knew himself she hadn't had an affair, but if he watched Serenity for Diamond he'd maybe stop accusing her!
