A brief look of surprise appeared on the King and Queen face's when they heard Rion's condition to him staying.
The King and Queen looked at Rion and even though they were surprised by his condition they understood the reason why Rion had asked for their relation to be kept secret.
"Okay we agree to your condition" the King said knowing from the look in Rion's eye's that if he didn't agree then he would return home with his daughter.
As soon as the King agreed to his condition for him to stay Rion was immidiatley wrapped up in a painful yet familiar bone crushing hug that he knew belonged to his mother "I'm going to miss you so so much" Rion heard his mother say just before they were joined by his sister who was sniffling.
Seeing as he wouldn't be seeing his family for quite some time Rion returned their hug with all the strength that he had "I'm going to miss all of you too" Rion said as he committed every detail about his family that he could.
Rion's sister and mother only let him go at the insistance of his father and as his father was consoling his mother and sister he was approached by Kanro and Lanat.
When Kanro got close enough to Rion he placed his hand on his head "Now don't miss us too much you hear" Kanro said as he ruffled Rion's hair.
Normally this would've usually caused Rion to shove his older brother's hand from off his head but since this was going to be the last time he was going to be seeing them for a while he chose to let it go.
His other brother Lanat just placed his hand on Rion's shoulder without saying a word but from the look in his eye's Rion could tell that he was going to miss him.
"Ashwin you may now enter and send for Duke Calanire as I have something that needs his attention" the King shouted through the throne room and as soon as he did it became a hive of activity.
Hearing the King's order's Rion looked over from where he was standing to see his mother and father were talking with the King and Queen in hushed tones and from the looks on each of their face's and from the number of people that came and went from the throne room.
Rion knew that what they were talking about must be important so he stayed beside his siblings watching as the people came and went which just made him even more curious than he already was.
=================
As the King Estarian, the Queen Anaelia, their daughter Atrica and son-in-law Nialan all huddled together the King allowed people to once again enter the room so that they could begin preparing for Rion's stay in the capital.
As the last of the people that her father had called into the throne room left Atrica told her father what was on her mind "If I ever hear anything about my baby being subjected to anything remotely close to how I was then even if you are my parent's I will make them wish for the threat of war" Atrica whispered to the King and Queen as she sent them a steely gaze that showed them that she meant every word.
The King and Queen looked at how their daughter was acting and couldn't help feeling both happy at that she had become someone they always wanted her to be and sad that they weren't there to see it.
Before the King could answer his daughter he was beaten to it by the Queen Anaelia "We swear that nothing like what happened to you in the past will happen to our grandson" the Queen Anaelia as she held her daughter's hand's with a near identical steely gaze.
The King Estarian and Nialan looked at their wives before looking at each other and shrugging at how they were acting already use to it.
===============
Once they had finished talking about whatever they had been discussing Rion and his family shared one last hug before they left.
Now left alone with his grandparent's Rion looked at them only to see that they seemed to be awkward "Sooo where will I be staying while I'm here" Rion asked with a smile on his face in an effort to make his grandparent's feel less awkward.
The King and Queen easily caught on to what their grandson was trying to do and couldn't help but feel like laughing at Rion's attempt and before the King could answer the door's to the throne room opened.
Rion and his grandparent's turned to look at the person who entered the room and saw an extremely tall man who had short white hair and a body that was littered with scars.
"You called for me your Majesty" the large man said as he entered the room and knelt before his grandparent's but not before he gave Rion a glance.
Rion was awed by the sheer size of the man and wondered just how he had gotten so big Rion had read that a race that were similar to Giant's that had the ability to shrink themselves down to 7ft existed in this world.
The King gave Rion a quick glance before he addressed the large man "Calanire thank you for your prudence there's someone that I would like to introduce you to" the King said causing the man who was called Calanire to look up at him.
The King motioned towards Rion "This young man beside you is the one that has caused a great stir within the Kingdom and in order to protect him from the threat of the other Kingdom's he will be staying here in the capital until he starts attending school" the King said as he made sure not to tell Calanire about their relationship.
Calanire looked at Rion with a discerning eye as he looked him up and down "I don't see how this has anything to do with the reason why you called for me your Majesty" Calanire said not understanding what the King meant.
"He is the reason that I called you here" the King said causing Calanire's eye's to widen as he quickly understood what the King was hinting at.
"Your Majesty with all due respect if you needed someone to babysit him then I'm sure there are other's who are more suited to this task" Calanire said the reluctance in his voice evident in his voice.
Hearing the reluctance in Calanire's voice the King decided to play this more tactfully "Maybe you're right" the King said supposedly agreeing with Calanaire's statement "but when I thought about who I would like to train my grandson yours was the only name that came to mind as apart from my wife there's no-one I trust more" the King said as he sent an apologetic look towards his grandson.
Calanire and the Queen all looked the King with wide eye's as Rion just looked at him with understanding 'You crafty old man' Rion thought as Calanire turned to look at him.
