the younger one stood and bow to her brother. Heath moore smiled at her as she told him
"Come take a sit brother"
"Alright"
heath Moore went to her and sat beside her as the others said nothing..
Arthur and Alan said nothing as they continued having their food.
heath Moore also said nothing to his brothers.
The relationship between these three brothers weren't the same as the lily and Heath had. the younger one loved his step brother as much as she loved her biological brothers, though they didn't see Heath as part of the royal family, Heath looked at them and treated them as only his younger siblings and nothing more.
while having their food, the king came.
they all stood to greet him as he bow to his sons and daughter, then they sat as he sat with them as well.
"Heath Moore...."
the king called out, Heath Moore turned and looked at his father, he bow as he answers
"Yes your magesty"
"There's a coronation in the neighbouring kingdom of Zutch, I need you to go there and attend the party as in representing your kingdom"
"Yes your magesty"
Arthur sat upright and said to his magesty
" Ammmm..... your magesty, if am not mistaken, the coronation in Zutch is for prince Derick... right? "
" Yes, that's right, why asking? "
" I was thinking maybe we could accompany our brother here to attend the coronation, he's quite a good friend of myself and Alan, am sure he'll be delighted to see the three of us there, don't you think so your magesty"
" That's quite not a bad idea, if the three princes attend the coronation, it'll be good for our kingdom, it settled then, the three of you will leave tomorrow morning starting your journey to the kingdom of Zutch"
" Yes your magesty"
Lily looked at her dad and told him
" But dad if they'll all leave then, I'll be so lonely here, I'll be all alone, can't I just go with them?"
" am sorry my princess but that's not possible, there's a blazing storm outside I'd you'll leave tomorrow with them, I'll be worried sick of my princess"
" then how about my brothers, they'll be travelling under the storm as well "
" They are princes, and Heath Moore will soon inherit my throne so they have to be strong enough to face anything that comes there way, and fight like an army, that's why I have to send them away.
"Sigh ..... alright dad "
"Good"
after a while, Heath Moore was done with his meal
"May I take my leave?"
"You may Heath Moore"
"Thank you your magesty"
Heath Moore left leaving the four of them at the table.
he went straight to his room. without wasting time, he started packing, later that night, the two brothers Arthur and Alan sat together in Arthur's study room, Alan knew his brother had a reason why he suddenly suggested that they should accompany Heath Moore to the Zutch kingdom. He knew that the two of them couldn't stand being near Heath Moore, his presence, scent, gaze and especially his emerald coloured eyes, sent a chilling intensive environment which made them unknowingly fear him, they considered him as not part of the royal family, the only people who considered his presence was Lily and the king himself.....
.....
Before marrying Arthur and Alan's mother, the king had a mistress who was ofcourse, Heath Moore's mother. the two of them loved each other and the king frequently invited her to his room and make love with her, but when the king got married, the mistress distanced herself from the married man because she didn't wanna ruin the royal marriage if the man he loved and the new queen, but she still lived in the palace.
Six months passed and the news were spread that the king's wife was pregnant, all celebrated the news and in the night, a party was held especially for the queen and her upcoming baby and ofcourse, the mistress was invited too. she sat at a corner where she only looked at the King from a far with his wife and the upcoming child, the heir to the throne. they seemed happy, they drunk and danced through the night while the king smiled at his queen.
suddenly, the mistress fainted at the ballroom and the king saw that, he quickly rushed to her and took her to the royal doctor. the doctor took a quick check on her and confirmed the king that his mistress was also pregnant. the king was delighted and shocked at the same time while the queen looked at them in anger and wanted her dead, herself along with the child. the doctor told him that the pregnancy was 5 months old which means that she got pregnant first before the queen. 4 months later, she gave birth to the first son of the kingdom, the child looked exactly like his mother, his hairs raven dark as the mother, skin colour and his eyes as well. the king rejoiced to the first prince in the kingdom, though he was illegitimate, but he had the blood of the royal and the king accepted him whole, but the happiness didn't last as right after the child was born, the mistress lost her life which left the child to be taken cared by only the king, this fact enlightened the pregnant queen's heart as she was delighted that the mistress died, now she can only have her husband to herself, after 3 months, the queen gave birth to the second sin if the kingdom, prince Arthur. which enlightened the king's mood after his mistress died. the two of them were raised together, but the queen made sure that her son hated the mistress's child as she kept on feeding poison to her son, and after 3 years, she gave birth to another child and sis the same with him, which led to the three brothers distancing themselves from each other. 5 years past and the queen gave birth to the princess and died soon after three months of labour, that's why lily didn't have any hatred towards her brother even if the 2 of them tried to plant poisonous roots in her brain but they couldn't succeed, and til today, the 3 of them didn't get along while their sister Lily got attached to Heath Moore.
