Chapter 10: Going our separate ways?

Third POV

"Morning mother," Said Dimitri as he sat down onto the chair in front of his family not helping the bad mood in his tone as his morning seems to be turning from out of this world to well…hell would be the right word for it.

"Ivan, have a seat" Said the most powerful voice in the room, the ruler of their world.

"Why should he? I'm the one you wanted to talk to" Dimitri tried to prevent one of his very rare true friends that he had throughout this world, stay out of this issue that he was aware would not end well either today, tomorrow or future. He just hopes that he would be capable to defend and protect his loved ones.

"That's alright Dimka, I don't mind" Ivan reassured his long time friend. He slowly sat on one of the seats; he could not help himself as he made sure that he was nowhere near the outraged King. Dimitri smiled at his dear friend as he too realized the outcome of why he took one the farthest seat in the room before turning to his father.

"Yes, why was I called in here today? Make it quick, I have elsewhere to be" Dimitri could not contain his hatred towards his father through his voice insuring that they knew he would rather be somewhere; anywhere but here.

"DO NOT. Speak. To. Me. Like. That"

"Like what?" Dimitri screamed as he got out of his chair and walked towards the king without having a second look at the guards as they started to surround him like a prey would a predator.

"Dimka honey, behave please" Olena quickly got between her two most important men in her world. "Please son, for me" She knew that last part would always stopped any kind of war for her alone. Sighing Dimitri sat down on his chair again.

All this time, his father just sat on his high chair and watched his son in disappointment for many reasons, but all leading him to not being the son he had always wanted. The kind of son that would follow his rules and make him proud, but instead a son that goes out of his way to ensure such disappointment.

Dimitri looked around for his three sisters, not havivg them in no harm in any way as it was clear that they are alwayss affected by the brothers' and fathers' arguments, well two of his sisters but not Sonya! She has always loved it when the two argued; wanting no peace between father and 'his only heir'.

Dimitri has always loved his sisters even Sonya with her determination in succeeding in the fall of her own brother fortune. If he had to choose, it was obvious that it would be Vika that he would protect above all his siblings for many reasons such as her being the youngest and full of life.

Clearing his throat, Dimitri's' father slowly stood up with clear determination of wanting the attention of all. "It's time you take your role serious, son"

"What role?"

"You are our future king-"

"If you ever die" Dimitri mumbled

Shooting his son a hard look he continued with his speech "- as I was saying, you are our future king and you need to start acting like it"

"What? You mean act like a spoilt moron who expects others to lick his hands. No thanks" With a sharp movement, he stood right out of his chair and pulled Ivan with him while making sure that Ivan was behind him at all times as they backed away from everyone in the room.

"We. Are. Not. Done" The king spoke with a dramatic pause with each word that he spoke. "Guards" With that word some of the guards surrounded them, blocking their way to the door; forcing them towards the king and company.

Rose POV

"Well that was interesting" Adrian broke the silent that we all have found ourselves in right after Dimitri and Ivan left. I wish they didn't have to leave. Things were better with him around.

With a little giggle, my aunt said "Yeah something like that"

"Well off I go" I started walking quickly towards my room with crossed fingers hoping for no interruption.

"Rose" My father spoke with such power that I had to stop as soon as I heard his command but didn't turn around to look at his face; knowing full well that it was a disappointment emotion displayed on them.

"Yeah dad?" I was only able to whisper the words out.

"Turn around" There it was; the commanding tone again. Turning around, my eyes were unable to meet his as I was staring into the emerald green eyes of Adrian, wishing for some sort of help from him whereas all he did was sit up more comfortably with his right leg folded onto his other leg and did I mention a small smile of his mouth? Yea well it was there, I can tell you that. What a man? The kind of man willing to fed a lady to the shark.

"Yeah dad" My voice was nothing more than a small whisper.

"What was that?" He asked furiously, demanding for answers and not very patient about having to wait for me to build up my courage to speak back to him. "Well I am waiting Rosemarie" Darn he's mad, was the only thing running in my mind. My father is pissed.

"Well that was nothing" I said quickly defending myself from such harsh words that might leave Abes' mouth.

"Nothing? It did not look like nothing. Young lady, you need to stop whatever feeling it is that has you behaving like that. He is too old for you. Understood?"

With a sudden confidant in myself, "No"

"No, you don't understand? Rose, you need to pay attention when I speak to you" I just kept looking at him, letting the real meaning of my word.

"Rose honey?" I heard my aunts' voice cutting through the stare that I had with the old man. I immediately turned towards her "Yes?"
"He is to old for you"

"How can you say that? I really thought you were cool with us now that you spent some time with him" She had an agonizing look upon her features as she weighted the great amount of how Dimitri was important to her only niece.

"Well- umm well…." She was unable to complete the rest of her sentence.

"Aunty, I really wanted you to like him" And with that I left the room.

Deb thank you for the edit even though with your condition.

Hope everything goes well on Tuesday...
