The Royals: Chapter 6: The First Robbery

Ethan sat in his room, not going out for any of his classes or meals, silently drowning in his own sadness and tears. The medical team at the castle had found him unconscious in the grass the night when Sarah broke up with him, and he hadn't came out of his room since.

His father desperately tried to apologize to his son, but Ethan would never listen. He was too heartbroken to say anything. Sarah was his everything, and he could die than to not die beside her. He missed her dearly.

Even his brothers had tried to say hi to him, but he wouldn't respond at all. He was completely empty. He was broken. Heartbroken.

A crack of light crept in the darkened room, sending Ethan haywire as he flopped under the covers. A small voice emerged from the door, a voice Ethan never thought he'd ever hear at his front door. It was someone whom he dearly loved, but never got the time.

"Ethan?"

Ethan rose a little from under the covers and peeked out to trace Benny's shadow among the dark ones in his room. He sighed heavily. "Hi Benny." He said gruffly, trying to hide the tears that were running down his face. Benny said nothing as he made his way through the dark room with ease and sat down on the edge of the velvet sheets of the bed. Ethan looked at Benny and started to cry, his tears soaking the sheets as Benny sighed.

"It's alright E." He reassured. "She loves you too."

Ethan's father had took the time to talk to everyone about what had happened, trying to leave the parts out when he punched him and stuff. But Samantha didn't let him go on it because she continuously repeated and scolded him repeatedly. Benny and Rory were more terrified of their father than anyone has ever been. And the kingdoms of Vania and Serenia were about to launch in a full on verbal war, sending nasty remarks and threats to each other. Ethan feared that Sarah and himself may have just began a war so deadly...

"Ethan...Ethan are you alright?" Benny asked, taking the silence as a no. "I did not say anything that may make you upset, did I?" He added nervously, twiddling his fingers in and out of the ruffles on his suit. Ethan sniffled.

"My dear brother, I don't want my miserable mood to spread. Please be gone." He said apologetically. Benny was about to say something, but however didn't. When a moment of silence had occurred, he stopped to take a breath and began.

"Do you love her?"

"More than anything." Ethan responded in an instant. Benny wrinkled his nose as he frowned, shrugging as he got ready to propose something.

"Then why don't you go after her?"

Ethan took the moment to realize and register what Benny had said. The logic came right at him as he started to think heavily about it.

"If Sarah really left me, it must have been for a reason. She might have wanted to actually put me out of my misery, or maybe someone was watching her. Nevertheless, she could be in her tower, waiting for me to come to her. If I come back, maybe I would get the chance to save her and prove to her my undying love for her! Maybe, she was waiting for a reason to come back for me. Now I shall admit, it isn't the best excuse to go breaking someone's heart, but still! This could be my chance to prove to her I'd do anything for her! That I would risk my life, my well doings, my reputation to save her and call her mine once more!" He rambled, his eyes sparkling. Benny chuckled.

"You think a lot for 7 words." He said at last, getting a small laugh from his brother. Benny was extra happy that he was able to cheer his older brother up. Ethan smiled happily at his younger brother fondly.

"Thank you so much Benny. It means a lot to me that you care." He said, smiling. Benny grinned. "If anyone knows anything about sneaking out, it would be me. Go after her tonight; I'll cover for you." He said quietly. Ethan frowned.

"Why? Do you normally sneak out?" He asked. Benny's eyes lowered to the ground; now he revealed too much. And it was obvious if Ethan could keep this secret, he could keep his too. He couldn't imagine keeping it in any longer. So Benny was going to do this as discreetly as he could.

"Ethan...you have to promise you won't tell anyone about what I am about to tell you." He said seriously. Ethan nodded. "Of course brother. Tell me what is bothering you." He said in curiosity. Benny took a breath and sighed.

"Ethan...I...I have a secret affair too." He said quietly and shamefully. Ethan's eyes widened. "That...makes so much sense. You never come out of your room, always mysterious, withdrawn-"

"No, Ethan it started when I went to the marketplace after our family dinner." Benny said quickly. "I only stay in my room because I don't really like social events, remember?" He added softly. Ethan nodded in understanding. "So who is the lovely lady? A commoner? A daughter of the highest in the kingdoms? A forbidden girl in the depths of the woods?" He joked. Benny gulped as he tugged his collar nervously.

"I-It...i-isn't a-a girl." He stammered. Ethan's eyes widened. "An animal?" He guessed. Benny had tears down his eyes as he sobbed.

"I am in love with a man." He cried, sobbing on Ethan's sheets, ashamed of himself. Ethan took the time to register the words Benny had just said, his mind denying everything he ever learned in his lifetime.

But seeing his brother, broken and ashamed of himself for being someone no person in the kingdom would appreciate. The kingdom was wary of homosexuals, and any of them would be greatly shunned in the kingdom. That is how it worked. Ethan couldn't bare to see his brother so sad however, so instead of being like anyone else in the kingdom, Ethan hugged his brother as well.

"I don't care Benny. I love you for who you are, gay or straight." He said proudly. Benny smiled at Ethan as Ethan grinned.

"So who is this man?" He asked. Benny's mouth tugged at a small smile. "His name is Tobias Myoc, a commoner in the kingdom." He began, then describing all his physical and personality traits that he loved. Ethan saw the sincerity in what Benny said, and he realized all was beautiful, the love his brother had.

Ethan had finally trudged down the stairs for the first time since courting night, and frankly, everyone was surprised when he had came down for breakfast. He had thought a lot of what Benny had offered him yesterday, but Ethan decided he had no guts to escape the kingdom, and that he would think of a different way to save Sarah from the bindings that bounded their love apart.

Ethan saw his father and two brothers. He realize his mother was not to be found, but figured she was sleeping in. Ethan sat at the table quietly as Rory and Benny saw the tiresome in his eyes. They had never seen their older brother so...distraught.

"Um... how are my boys?" Ross asked, breaking the silence between the boys.

I feel great! I just got punched by my father and had sex with my ex. Ethan thought bitterly.

I am doing good. I am suicidal and signed a mission impossible with a maid. Rory thought sullenly.

Not bad. I danced with a girl who was crazy when I was homosexual, and am still hiding the fact I am gay. Benny thought annoyingly.

"Good." The three boys answered in unison as Ross nodded, eating his scrambled eggs. Ethan poked at his food as Rory ate quietly. Benny felt empty as he ate as well, sipping his water. The father of the three boys sighed as he closed his eyes.

"I invited people for dinner." He said at last. Ethan grunted as Benny groaned; both boys did not want public attention right now. Rory sighed. "Who?" He asked. Ross looked at Ethan for a split second and made no eye contact with his sons.

"The royal family of Serenia."

Ethan's eyes boggled as he spit out his water in shock. His mind was void of all logic and sense in the world as he looked at his father in shock. How could he invite the arch enemy of Vania, the family that did him wrong, the king who married his dad's true love, the daughter of Serenia who happened to had broken Ethan's heart, to dinner?

A shriek came from upstairs as Samantha flew down the stairs. The four men stood up in an instant as Samantha's eyes glowed in fury.

"My prized emerald earrings! GONE!" She shrieked. Benny, Rory and Ethan's eyes widened as they dashed up to search their drawers and vaults. They all gasped as they dashed downstairs.

"My crown is gone." Ethan said worryingly.

"The watch that mother gave me is no where in sight!" Benny exclaimed.

"My golden engraved dagger has vanished!" Rory wailed.

Ross saw everyone's panic and distress as he cleared his throat. If he did not fo something now, the whole kingdom would go bonkers and into complete and utter chaos. Ross didnt know what was happening, or who in their righ mind would steal anything in the kingdom.

Everyone looked at Ross, who's eyes had widened. He tried to think of something to say in a moment such as this one, but it never occurred to Ross that he would ever face a situation likewise to this one. Samantha saw the confusion in the speechless King's eyes as she gulped, looking at her family.

"This means only one thing..." Samantha said in fear. Ross gulped.

"There is a thief in the kingdom."

A/N- Who is the thief? Reread the first chapter and maybe you'll find something. ;)

In the meanwhile, let us be reminded Benny finally spoke out! Plus, the Foxes are coming for dinner?!Things are getting real!
