Unbroken Ch. 09

Aidan slowly started moving, scanning carefully the whole living room. He walked carefully until he passed the whole living room. He was heading to the throne room, looking around to make sure he saw what had fallen. But he stopped before going any further.

"If it had come from the throne room then the guards can handle it right? They don't need me. I am sure it was even one of them that dropped...probably a weapon."

With those thoughts in mind, Aidan quickly turned to leave but something stopped him. "Surely, there is no harm in checking it out, right?"

Aidan then took a quick breath and increased his pace when he started moving towards that area. Reaching there...he couldn't see any of the guards. There was no one there. He was sure a guard or two guarded the door to the throne room at night so...why was there no one there, he wondered. He didn't know the reasons why that guard chose not to be at that door but he was gonna check it out anyway.

Aidan breathed in and then started moving towards the door. His heart was racing and he didn't know the reason why that was happening to him. Reaching the huge door, Aidan looked around and saw that there was no guard.

Taking a deep breath he opened the door quietly and it opened. He slowly entered the room and as soon as he had entered, he saw someone, a man dressed in a uniform. Aidan took a good look at that uniform and it was different from the uniform that the guards at his palace wore. He was probably one of the guards who had come with William but what was he doing in the throne room. That area was prohibited to be entered without the king's permission or any of the royal family members.

And why the hell was he looking around as if he was looking for something that he had lost, Aidan thought as he took a good look at that man. It was not bright yet and the lights were not own but Aidan could see him clearly. He was so mad.

Ripping his eyes away from the guard who seemed to be going in deeper and deeper, Aidan moved his eyes to the wall and noticed the light switch. He quickly moved to the switch and pressed his finger on it, making the whole place to be bright.

Immediately the lights went on, a loud gasp was heard from the man that had been going in. The man moved his eyes to Aidan and he saw him clearly. He was a tall blonde haired guy, not cute and too old to be a palace guard. He was looking scared and his mouth and body was shaking terribly. All this was visible to Aidan's eyes.

"M...M..."

"What are you doing in here?" Aidan seethed, getting closer to the man that seemed terrified. "This place is prohibited to..."

"I...I...I"

"And why do you look so scared?" Aidan asked, getting really close to the guy. "You don't work around here so what are you doing in the throne room, uh?"

"Well...I...I..."

"You really look scared. What were you looking for in a room that is prohibited to everyone?"

"I was...I was lost..."

"Get out!" The anger and fierceness in Aidan's voice could not be masked. It was clear the man was scared because as soon as he gave that order, the man rushed out of the throne, sweating and looking like he had just seen a ghost. His eyes were almost popping out of his sockets and the way he was panting was really something else. It got Aidan wondering.

Aidan took a good look around and followed the rushing man outside. He switched off the lights and got out, just in time to stop the man that was trying to run away, trembling in fear.

"Hey!" Aidan called. The man stopped and just stood still, shaking like a leaf on a stormy day. "Come back here."

The man gulped and then came back to Aidan, dropping his eyes to the floor. He was scared. He was screwed for real. He didn't even know what had happened. How could he have not heard Aidan coming, he wondered as a shiver run down his spine? He closed his eyes and began his enchantments.

"What were doing in there?" Aidan pointed to the throne room. He was using a low voice but the man gasped and sweated even more. "Look at me." he ordered.

The man raised his face and Aidan saw just how sweaty he was. "My...my prince," The man quavered, slightly bowing his head. "I...was lost and..."

"And where were you going at this time?" Aidan asked. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?"

"Well, my prince I was about to go to the..." He paused and just thought about what lie to cook up so that he could get himself out of that mess.

"And when you realized which room you were in why didn't you stop and come out? There is always a guard on that door where did he go?"

"My prince...I...don't know where he went. I just...I mean I didn't even know that a guard stands there. I...was just looking for..."

Aidan had a really good look at the man and surely a man who was lost couldn't have been that scared or that tense or even that pale. Something was up and he was sure that the man had been up to something. First the guard wasn't there and now that man was in the throne, scared and sweating. He was gonna interrogate him and he was gonna find out the truth.

Aidan opened his mouth to talk but before a word came out of his mouth, he heard Prince William's voice and he saw him coming near. He had only a pajama on.

"Hey, what was taking you so long? I have been waiting for you."

Prince William came near with a smile and rested his arm on the man's shoulder. Then he smiled even brighter at Prince Aidan.

"I am really sorry, Prince Aidan." William apologized. "He didn't mean to come here. I am sure that he was just lost. This won't happen again." He looked at the warlock and lost his smile. He was mad deep inside but he wasn't gonna allow that to show. "Let's go back."

The man nodded and he and the prince started going out.

"Just a minute..." Aidan called, stopping the man and his prince. Both of them turned around and as usual, Prince William smiled brightly.

"Yes, Prince Aidan, how..."

"Where exactly was that man going?" He asked. He had that seriousness on his face that just scared William and the warlock. "What was he doing in the throne room? This place is strictly forbidden."

"Like I said..."

"I know what you said." Aidan smiled. "I know exactly and I heard you but I just wanna hear from him where he was going at this time of the night. And you, where were you going? If you were waiting for him then...how come he couldn't find your room?"

William felt like a thousand deathly arrows had just been directed at him. He had that feeling inside which was scaring him but he was not gonna show it to anyone because he was not scared of anyone. Come to think of it, how did Aidan even come to that room without being heard or seeing?

"Actually, I sent him to get something for me but it seems he got lost. I am so sorry that he entered the throne room. I am sure that he didn't mean it and..."

"And he kept on going inside as if he had lost something in there." Aidan folded his arms. "I watched him closely and he was looking like he had lost something. Kindly ask him what..."

"Look prince Aidan, I told you he just got lost. That's all. There is no need to make a big issue out of this. You know he doesn't know this place that well."

"Well, I don't care whether he doesn't know this place or not." Aidan shrugged, staring at the two men in front of him. "That room is prohibited from outside entry and whether this man was lost or he was looking for something he shouldn't have entered that place in the first place. He should have left immediately he saw the place he was in. By the way...where did you send him at this time that he got lost? What was he looking for?"

"Well, my prince...I am really sorry that he came in here by mistake but...I can't tell you what I had sent him to get. It's really..."

"Well, may I remind you that you are in our kingdom and our palace?" Aidan pointed out. He had no idea why he was talking like that to the prince but he knew that that was what he felt at that time. "That means that you are our guest and..."

"Prince..."

"Let me finish..." Aidan raised his finger to stop William from speaking to him. "You are our guest and that means that...you must let this palace serve you. If you wanted something you could have just called one of our maids or guards if you prefer and not send someone who doesn't know this palace really well. Things are bound to happen and who do you think..."

"What are you trying to tell me, Prince Aidan?" William was losing himself. He demanded respect and not the way Aidan was speaking to him. He was so mad inside that the smile was even getting faint. "Are you trying..."

"I am not insinuating anything, Prince William." Aidan shrugged, smirking at the smiling prince. "You are our guest so let us serve you. You came with guards sure but they don't know this palace." He was looking straight at the prince and he could see that the smile was fading. "Our maids and guards are the best that you can use at this place."

"Sure."

"By the way, shouldn't you be in bed right now." He asked. "It is still late and..."

"Yeah," William smiled. "I should be in bed right now. I am sure that...never mind."

"Sleep tight." Aidan gave about the brightest smile ever. He watched as the prince smiled one final time and left the room together with the guard, whoever he was.

After they left, Aidan got deeper into thought, trying to understand what was going on. He might have spent about ten minutes of thinking before he actually decided to move away from there. He took a deep and nervous breath before finally deciding to go.

Raising his eyes to go back, Aidan saw two guards rushing towards him. They looked lost and quite scared. They came to him and bowed their heads, kneeling down on the cold floor.

"My prince," They said at the same time.

"Good!" Aidan said. "You are all here. Now tell me where you went and left the throne room unguarded. Do you know what..."

"We are really sorry," They apologized. "Actually, we just got really sick and both of us rushed to the toilet."

"You got sick at the same time?" Aidan gasped. "How is that even possible? Do you actually know what you are talking?"

"Yes!" They bowed. "It happened so suddenly that...we don't really know what happened, your highness."

Aidan was now confused. He looked at the two of them and they were really scared. He didn't want to scare the poor guards even more. They were probably telling the truth. But he was sure that guy was up to something. But he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"It's fine. Go back to your duty post and please, don't ever leave this place unguarded."

"Yes, your highness." They both rushed to the door and guarded it.

Aidan moved his eyes behind for one last time and went back to his room. All through his journey in the elevator he kept on thinking about what was going. He could sense something and his powers...his sudden dream in which the four elements were charging him up...his blue eyes. What was really going on? It was absolutely strange and he had no idea what to do.

Reaching his room, Aidan's worries where taken away when he saw his husband sleeping beautifully. Fuck he was really cute and handsome. And his snores were beautiful too. Aidan took a deep sigh and then removed his robe. He slipped under the covers and then carefully pressed his chest on Luis' chest. To his surprise, Luis in his sleepy state wrapped his arms around him.

Aidan felt warm again and he was completely taken back to sleep. He loved being in those arms whole night long.

***

William stormed in his room, furiously sitting on his bed. He put his head on his fists and just panted. His breath was really hot and it felt like fire. His eyes were red, shot up with veins. He could feel his body charging his body up. Boy he was really mad.

"Fuck!" He caressed, nodding his head as a shot of pain passed through his entire body.

"My prince," The dark haired warlock came rushing in. "What happened? How did it even happen? I thought..."

"That foolish idiot happened." William seethed. His body was now trembling in anger. "How dare he talk to me like that? Who does he think he is? Does he know me? Does he know what I can do?"

"My prince, please calm down." The dark haired warlock said. "People may..."

"Do I look like I care?" He snapped. "That little boy definitely has no idea what he's dealing with. All this could have been done today. We would have found something but..." He gestured, hissing loudly. "He ruined everything and he has the nerves to talk to me in that manner." He was really pissed off. Not even his father had ever talked to him in that manner.

"I had never been so scared in my life." The blonde haired warlock quavered. "I was really..."

"And you..." William snapped at the blonde haired warlock. "What kind of spell did you cast? Did you cast a call that idiot spell?"

"My prince," he tried to breathe normally. "The spell I casted on those guards worked. But..."

"What?"

"I tried to cast a silent spell to make him lose memory of the last few minutes of his life but it didn't work. Those spells bounced back and didn't do anything. Those spells have always worked no matter what. I have never been so scared in my life. Did you hear the way he was talking to us and his authority?" He breathed. "I thought we were..."

"Enough..." William literally yelled. "That boy thinks he is smart." He seethed. "He thinks he is smart but I will deal with him. Nobody talks to me in that manner." He groaned. "He thinks he had won but let's see how he stops us from getting our hands on that scepter. He is nothing but a small boy and he cannot do anything to us. We are powerful and..."

"Let me just say this my prince," One the warlocks said. "We cannot allow anyone to spoil our mission. That boy caught us this time so what? He is nothing but a helpless boy that doesn't know who he is dealing with. We are going to deal..."

"No!"

"Why?"

"That boy is just a helpless stupid boy," William said angrily. "Don't worry about him. He won't stop us, never. If he tries anything like this again..." He gave a sinister laugh. "Only the heavens will be able to save him from our wrath. We are going to continue looking for that scepter. We must find it at all costs okay?"

"Yes!" They all answered.

William looked at his warlocks and then he moved his eyes forward, staring at the door. What had happened to him was an insult and had he been in his father's kingdom that boy would have been dust by now. But he was not gonna allow him ruin his mission. It was all gonna work out in his favor. If that boy continued being foolish...then William will have no choice but...

***

When Aidan opened his eyes in the morning, he met with the most wonderful blue eyes he had ever seen in his life. Those eyes were of Luis and he was awake, staring at him with the most beautiful smile ever.

"Morning." Aidan smiled, stretching his arms.

Luis leaned down and gave Aidan the most beautiful kiss ever. "Good morning, my love. How was your night?"

Aidan smiled brightly, licking his lips sensually. He wanted more of Luis on his mouth but what was he to do? Of course, he had a great night even though he had caught someone in the throne room but of course, he wasn't gonna allow him know that.

"It was really amazing, especially since I slept in your wonderful arms." He teased, resting his head on Luis' chest. "How was yours?"

"Do you think sleeping with the most amazing boy in my life would make my life extremely bad? Of course, I had the best night. I even had the best morning staring at that same wonderful boy. Too bad he has awakened now. I was planning on staring at him the whole day."

"Well, you can do that if you want."

"If I want." Luis sighed. "Unfortunately, I have to leave early today. We didn't quite finish with the meeting yesterday. I really hope you understand, my love?"

"Of course," Aidan moved seductively closer to Luis. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled him closer into a fierce kiss. That kiss was really amazing especially since it was in the morning. "I understand you completely. Like I said yesterday...you are the crown prince of this kingdom and it is your duty. So when are you supposed to leave?"

"An hour or two from now. But I promise this meeting will be the last okay. I don't know when we..."

"I am not complaining," Aidan chuckled nervously. "And I think you need to go and take a quick shower okay?"

"Ohhhh..." Luis complained, cupping Aidan's cheeks. "Why don't you take a bath with me this morning?"

"Because it will take longer," He simply said with a chuckle. "I will take a bath later in the day or when I wake up. Just go in there, take a beautiful shower and then come back in here and I will make sure I dress you myself okay?"

"Okay." Luis took Aidan in another hot kiss and then left the bed, naked, walking towards the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his neck. Before he went into the bathroom he blew Aidan a kiss and went inside to shower.

Aidan laughed out loud and then laid his head on a pillow, waiting for his loving husband to come back from the bathroom. He had a big grin on his face, remembering all the wonderful things that have happened in his life ever since he got together with Luis. Those were happy moments.

It wasn't long before Luis came out of the bathroom with his wet hot body. He dried himself up and then Aidan did the honor of dressing him up in a light grey designer's suit, white shirt and deep black shoes. He placed a red crown on his head and then gave him a really deep kiss before he went to have breakfast and meet with his father. Everything was turning out to be for the best.

***

The elevator door opened, letting Aidan out. He was in a really happy mood and he didn't know why. He had just come from taking a really soothing shower that made him feel relaxed. Now he was downstairs for breakfast. He was just so happy.

Aidan was putting on a deep blue t-shirt, light blue skinny jean and yellow sneakers. After breakfast that day he was planning on visiting his granny and his brother. He hadn't been there for quite some time so he was eagerly just waiting to reach there.

Aidan rushed to the dining table and found everyone except the king and Luis in there. They were busy chatting and William was there too. Aidan still felt uneasy and when he saw him he tried his best to just not lose that smile. That guy was someone that he didn't want to be friends with no matter what happened. He didn't know why but he just felt that way.

"Good morning!" Aidan beamed, grabbing a chair.

"Good morning!" Hanna and the rest smiled at him. "How was your night?"

"It was okay." He smiled.

"That's good."

Aidan smiled at Hanna and then served himself breakfast while the others chatted and laughed among one another. They seemed really happy and they sure talked a lot but for some reason Aidan didn't like William being at that table. He didn't like it all and he didn't know the reason why.

When Aidan raised his face, he noticed that William had his eyes on him, staring at him with a wonderful smile. But that smile didn't get to Aidan at all. In fact, it just made him uncomfortable so he decided to forget about it and just concentrate on the food. It was just amazing having that breakfast with the family members.

"So...Prince William," The queen started. "How are you finding our kingdom?"

The Prince first chuckled before he started talking. "I haven't visited much but the palace is lovely and your gardens are just amazing. They are quiet and they have many trees and fruits. Your palace is probably the best I have seen so far."

"Hmm," The queen chuckled. "I haven't quite visited your kingdom but I am sure it is lovely."

"I can't say," He chuckled nervously. "But this palace is really something else I tell you. It is classy, elegant and expensive. Everything is either made of..."
