peace. that was what justus had for the most part the advisers , his generals and evjust a short everyone else was leaving him be. that was what he wanted. he needed time to think clearly and freely without the risk of someone disturbing that peace. he was a busy man and he had been even busier after the chaos that had happened after the ball. it was a tradgey really and it was hard for him to fully understand what any of this was happening. was this something that he wasn't suppose to understand ? he knew now that they were much closer to war again then ever before , even after with him signing that stupid treaty. it just seemed like yesterday he had signed it but that was for any immortal. a hundred years was easily something that felt like yesterday to you. because you had eternity to go. it was hard to focus on how long your life was compared to the other races. especially human ones.
justus was not a cruel man of any sorts. he was everything he name said he was. he did things that were the best for the kingdom , he never put himself first. it was hard to want something so bad - but know in your heart that you could not have it. justus was king , he could have almost anything he wanted. but there were still laws that were expected to be upheld. even from the king. his mind had been racing over so many things , he had not forgotten the night his mistress had told him she was with child. how could he forget ? the kingdom was turning into a shit show honestly. he had not seen kamaria since then. had he been avoiding her ? probably. he did his best to do so really. sending her small things from afar and making sure that they servants were taking care of her. what were they suppose to do? he knew it was matter of time before the queen knew. if she didn't already. he paced his resting room , the place he did his most thinking.
opening the door and turning to a servant. bring me lady kamaria now , he voice held the urgency in it. they needed to speak. neither did he want to intentionally make her feel uncomfortable. that had not been his at all.

Kamaria had settled into bed for the evening. She was tired more often than not lately and her bedtime kept getting earlier. Unlike the immortals here she was no creature of the night. She was snuggled beneath the covers clad in an unbecoming, shapeless, but comfortable ivory gown. Her long curls hung messily around her shoulders and she worked the small locked Ezra had given her back and forth between her finger and thumb. She worried for Ezra, the burden he was forced to bear. It was a sudden knock on the heavy wooden door to her chambers that forced the mistress upright in her bed with a look of confusion.
"The King requires your presence." The man said while keeping his head turned away. He pulled the door back shut to wait for her and inwardly Kai groaned. Surely the king didn't want her on this night? At least she hoped it was not the case. She was exhausted. And...it was starting to nag at her more and more. Being what she was and loving a man while lying with his father. The closer she got to Ezra the harder it was to remain detached.
After slipping on a robe and some slippers Kamaria was escorted to the kings quarters that were not far from her own. She was allowed inside before the heavy door was pulled shut behind her. Dark eyes moved slowly to the king. "You needed me, my King?" She said quietly, respectfully. hands folding together behind her back as she waited for his answer.

` justus delago justus knew that life for kamaria could not be the ... easiest. leaving in the castle as the king's mistress couldn't have been a favorable position , though many other women probably wanted it and they probably would have done just about anything to get it. he couldn't remember the countless women he had just found in his chambers or those bold enough to tell him exactly what they wanted. those weren't the he was interested in. any mistress of him had some kind of uniqueness to herself. even if it was something they themselves were unaware of. choosing kamaria to be his mistress had not be a random choice , it had not be abrasive choice. it had been well thought out. if justus was good at anything else besides combat , it was being a judge of character. she came across as naive and it might have been true in some areas. but she also analyzed a lot of things. he noticed things about kamaria she probably wasn't aware of. he did bring her to his palace for his own selfish reasons that is true , but he wasn't stupid either. anyone found trying to pull one over and him were killed most of the time. the rest of the time they were banished. he could never be weak in the eyes of his people and he could never be vulnerable to anyone but his wife. even that was in private and on rare occasions. anyone that threatened the royal family , regardless of who it might be had to be dealt with immediatelyand without signs of weakness.
justus waited as he sent the guard to bring kamaria to him. he had not touched her since he had found out that she had been with child. it wasn't that he wasn't still attracted to her - because he was. but he just didn't know what to do with the situation. she was with child. supposedly with his child. he was pretty sure that the queen had already heard of this but he wasn't sure how she was dealing with it herself. he never spoke to her about kamaria. it was a bit of a taboo conversation. one they both just chose to ignore. but he knew that kamaria was not safe under the watchful eye of the queen. she was going to make sure the young women didn't step outside her place and now that she was with babe , it made it all the more difficult to have her around. she was turning into a liability for more then just himself. on the other hand it liked the idea of having a child around , for those short years it made him feel like he did all those years ago with his first born. justus didn't really know when his son had grown so distant. it wasn't much he could change , he was the king he had duties but he made sure he never mistreated his children. this was all too much to think about at once.
she arrived in his chambers , he dull eyes resting on her. so much had happened since their last conversation. the ball , how to handle everything. it was a lot. kamaria had never been one not to know her place. she had not once , seen or talked to justus after he had found out about the pregnancy. this to him was strange an not a matter he was going to overlook. it wasn't even a matter that he would let her avoid this time. she spoke and he didn't rush to answer her. his eyes lazily running over her before the landed on her face. "You look comfortable. You do know the servants do talk ? You can show that you are with babe now." , it wasn't something he was forcing her to do but she still did need to keep appearances. " You don't have to be excited that I called upon you tonight , but I would make efforts to make it seem like you are who you are. You can't get comfortable around her like this. People would find it disrespectful and they already speak to much. It makes it seem like you care less anymore. Do you care less kamaria ? , he questioned her as he placed his finger tips together and rested on his lips. " the gown is - comfortable. but that locket. that locket isn't something i've seen before. where did you get it ? , it was another question as he raised a eyebrow. this was nothing he had given to her and he knew that she gave from a poor family. one with not that many riches. a sigh escaped his lips.
"have you been seeing the midwife ? what has she been saying ? , another question. and most importantly... has the queen come to you." , he asked her. "and my dear - please do your best to tell me the truth about things. sometimes i can be a compassionate man. but when i find out a person is lying to me.... i find out they are a liar that is a crime punishable by law. no matter how much i favor you. that's something that i would never let slide." , all his words rolled off his tongue with not a single amount of emotion besides when he asked about the baby. his eyes motioned for her to sit across from him as he poured her some water.

It was embarrassing to have the king speak of her gown as if it were little more than a potato sack. It was comfortable and hung away from her body instead of her normal attire that clung to it but it was still not ‘ugly’. She frowned and looked to the floor. She was emotional right now as it were. Having the king say she didn’t care about her appearance was enough to make her cheeks burn and eyes well with prideful tears. But she blinked them back, not wanting to let them fall. ”Forgive me, my King. I was asleep already on this night, these days I stay tired and you have not called for me in a long while so I didn’t think-…. It will not happen again.”
The locket. She looked down reactively. She had assumed it was tucked deeply enough within her gown but apparently not. Justus had a way of seeing through lies and she was unsure how to approach an answer to his question. ”It was a gift my king. But it is not new.” That was the truth, she had owned the locket for months now.
”The babe is doing well, or at least that is what I have been told. Yes, I have gone to her.” Kamaria took notice of how ‘the most important thing’ was if the queen had spoken to her. Did he fear repercussions from his wife? Surely he knew she was smart enough to be aware that he was sleeping with his mistress. ”We spoke briefly.” She said slowly. Unsure just what he was wanting her to say to the woman. When he gestured to the seat in front of him Kamaria took a seat and reached for the cup of water he poured her. She brought it to her lips and took a sip before sitting it down on the table with a soft sound.
”Did you call for me because you are unhappy with me?” She asked him quietly. Her dark eyes turning up to meet his own. He was full of questions on this night and all of them felt dangerous.

` justus delago a sigh escaped justus's lips as he listened to her. "just like i can never be too comfortable , you can not either. being in the palace has to be sort of like a game. you should always be looking out for your best interests. there isn't a time i am too comfortable. because then anything could happen. even with the babe coming , don't. get. too. comfortable., he warned her. justus had guards with him at all times. he also supplied kamaria with some as well , but everyone in the palace did not have her best interest at heart. there were those that might have admired her , then you had those who were loyal to the queen that most likely loathed her. "i understand you are tired kamaria. but you have to just for now ... push through it. if you care about your own position here in this kingdom , just keep up appearances." , he was stressed. it was reckless for one to think that things could slip past him for long. it was reckless for him to even have made the mistake of her becoming pregnant.
"gift? is it? from who. it is a lovely thing , yes ? it is sort of like the locket i gave to elysia when we were younger. that was centuries ago now." , he was so nonchalent about it that she might not have picked up the poison in his words. "whom ever gifted you with such things is very fond of you." , he added with a nod. he placed his hands down. with he a ruthless man , sometimes. depending on the situation , justus would leave all his feelings to the side. he wasn't emotional. he was a more rational man. always playing things out in his head.
she spoke about the baby doing well and he nodded , that was one less thing he worried about. ' i ask this because ..." , he stood as he started. "the queen is not as nice as i am." , he laughed at the thought of it. "we've been together centuries , long before you were even though of kamaria. we're immortal. i'm not blind that she has her ... things. and she usually doesn't bother any mistress that i have. usually. but you are pregnant. she is capable of more things then i am , especially when it comes to you. i would want you to have more servants by your side , but you probably wouldn't want that ? i could offer to put more guards by your side and have people test your food ... but you probably wouldn't want that either ? someone watching you 24/7 , that's nothing that i think you would be fond of. then you would have no privacy." , justus leaned against the table and crossed his arms. what he was getting at that - why did she want so much privacy. what was she ding with her day. "you are pregnant kamaria. the whole court knows this , you are a valuable piece at court now. so is that baby. why should i be so careless with your security ?'' , he asked her as he raised a eyebrow. " what did the queen say to you?" , he asked her. turning his body towards her.
he turned on his heel as he paced a bit. " you know the queen mother. my mother use to deal with things like this because of my dad all the time. even had women turn up pregnant being his mistress. she was a patient but also a vengaful woman. it's honestly better that you talked to my wife and not her. the first question she would ask you was if that baby you were carrying were mine , you know ? i don't think that's a far question , do you ? i mean you lay only with me ... yes ?" , he reached out to touch her face. again this was all about control. justus knew how easy it was to hurt someone , especially a human girl like her.

Kamaria watched Justus as he spoke to her. No...at her. Like she was a child or even a pet. But she didn't speak. Instead, she let her dark eyes trail down to the table in a silent acceptance of what he said to her. "My king forgive me but I don't understand why you would ask about my locket? I did not steal it from the queen if that is what you would mean. I am not a thief." She folded her hands in her lap and nervously plucked at one of her nails as he continued to speak. "I do not wish to be under constant guard. I spoke to the queen and I do not feel that she is going to hurt the babe, for the moment at least. I will be careful."
She tensed, every question he asked felt like an accusation. "Because my security is not an issue...Your queen wanted me to drink a tea that would have eliminated the babe and I declined. She accepted my decision and said that she needed to speak with you. That is all I know."
He was pacing now, back and forth. She tensed with each passing. And then came the final accusation. The question that might as well put nails into her coffin. But he knew...he knew something or he wouldn't be speaking to her like this. He was just fishing to see if she would tell him the truth, or so she assumed. He was touching her face. His hand against her cheek. Her throat tightened in fear of what he might do when he heard his mistress had not been his alone.
"I.....I have lain with you my king, and your son Ezra whom I care for." She was afraid. Afraid for her and the babes life. She was but a human in an immortal world. Fragile as glass. Her voice was shaking now but she struggled to keep her voice level. "....will you kill me?"

` justus delago he laughed again when she said that she did not steal it from the queen. "you misunderstood me. i mean whom ever gave it to you , is very fond of you. like i am with elysia. or something close. i would think of you as a theft kamaria. you could get what you like here. besides if you had stolen it - you would have never made it back to me without the queen snapping your neck. , his eyes danced with amusement. he knew kamaria didn't have to steal. why would she ? she had no reason to . she could have anything she wanted at her fingers tips. there was little things that justus appreciated about kamaria. she had not taken the position as mistress and let it go to her head. she had remained humble and still a bit naive too. she was refreshing compared to the immortals at court that had seen so much , been alive so long that they now had no real expressions about anything anymore.
she answered his question about the queen and he nodded quietly. this sounded like something that she would do and she had not come to him about it. he wondered what was holding her back from doing so. but still he remained quiet as he let her continue to talk. he had asked many questions and he needed to stay quiet to let her speak. she told him that he had not only laid with him but also his son. he shook his head and let her face go. kamaria. , he was trying to figure out what to really say. " what you have done is careless , stupid and reckless. at any time you could have told me you no longer wanted to be a bed warmer , a mistress. i would have let you go. i do love having you here but you are a human. i've had many mistresses and you are not obligated to stay dear.", he rubbed his head. this was tiring and no a lot more complicated then he had expected.
"what you have done is made is so ... we don't know if i have a child or grandchild. ezra does not know if he has a child or a sibling. you were in control of this entire situation. i'm sure that ezra did not force you to bed with him. now you are breaking my family. i love my son. but you have betrayed me and now we have this problem. the queen might have been right you know ? end the pregency then you could have been with ezra free of mind without this doubt you have now created. unless you have counted the days and you know who the father is. unless the midwife has come to this conclusion with you." , every word he spoke had been slow. not because he was mad with her but he was afraid for her. normally he would have killed her. for betraying him. for causing this confusion in the kingdom now.
"What do you think I should do with you Kamaria. I won't kill you but ... I can not let you stay here either. Then I would have to. Perhaps I should talk to Ezra about this. Rationally I would have ended the pregnancy Kamaria. Things would have been better off for you. I can't think of you as this naive , this completely unaware of what you are doing because you are not. You are taking my son . You don't know if that is my child and you are just turning into trouble." , he finished as he finally sat in his seat defeated.

He couldn’t understand. The king couldn’t understand how it was to be someone without an ounce of power. She could have stopped, he said. But who was she to refuse a king? ”I was afraid to refuse you, my King. You have been kind to me but I feared that you would not be in that case.” One of her hands rose to fiddle with her necklace. Her dark eyes closing under his judgement. ”You son did not force me…I love him. I was afraid that you would send me away and I would never see him again. I…I have tried to count the days. They were very close together….I believe the child to be Ezra’s but I can’t be certain.”
She clutched her necklace, afraid of losing Justus. Of being sent back home in shame. Of leaving Ezra alone with her brother haunting him. ”Please do not force me to leave, Justus….I will do anything if you will allow me to stay.”
And she meant it. She would sell her very soul to stay at Ezra’s side. She could tell Justus was unhappy with her, she couldn’t really blame him for that. But he also didn’t see things from her perspective either. A helpless human in immortal court to deny a king? It was ludicrous. ”There must be something I can do…”

` justus delago She was afraid that he wouldn't be kind if she had refused him. He laughed again , pinching his forehead and shaking his head. " When I say this to you Kamaria , please don't take this the wrong way. Most of the time , I don't want a women that doesn't want it willingly. There are woman that would most certainly kill you , to be where you are. That is why I have people protect you. You are not the first human woman I've had in my bed. The only time you've made me want to hurt you , is now Kamaria. It is taking all my strength not to want to hurt you and that baby. It's like you spit in my face , said this is the way it is without even consulting me. Do you think I want or need to share a woman with my son? , he asked her. Shaking his head he looked at her. "You have to be held accountable of the things you do. If you had told me this the night I found out you were pregnant , things could have been different. If you had told me you were sleeping with me son before all of this happen , things would have been different. Do you think it's easier to deal with you now with all of this going on or you refusing me " , he was pissed you could hear it in every world he spoke. "You have come to this court , my kingdom , my home and make demands. What you are doing is not a plea. You had this conversation with the queen yes ? You denied her then too and continued to do what you wanted to do. What you are doing is selfish. This baby is like some leverage for you ? So you make it seem like the babe is mine and then you also take my son. Usually I would have your head. But I can not." , he breathed as he leaned back in his chair. Too many things were rushing through his head at once.
Kamaria used his name freely and he ignored her. " Now you are asking me not to send you away too ?" , he asked her. " You are trying to make my kingdom a laughing stock , no ?" , it was almost a sneer. Closing his eyes , before he opened them again he let out another sigh. " I need to speak with my son. For now I am stripping you of your title as mistress. You no longer have a private chamber her with the protection of the guards. You will be in the servant quarters. Let people believe this baby is Ezra's. Your baby will be a bastard on top of being a hybrid. You haven't given that much thought to all of this , have you ? , he asked her as he tilted her head to the side. "I am doing my best because you claim you love my son but selflessly you've taken my son away from me for your little twisted game. I'm not trying to lose my son anymore then I already have. , these were just things he had to do. No more living in luxury in his palace. No more making sure that she had protection , no guards to watch out for her. It was like she was playing chess and she was winning. Usually he would have called her a traitor , banned her from the kingdom and sent her back home. But he wasn't in a rush to do anything without speaking to Ezra.
There was nothing for her to do at this point. What could you do Kamaria ? This is like some sort of curse. Did I do something wrong in the centuries long I have been alive." , it was a rhetorical question. There was nothing she could offer at this point that he wanted. Maybe there was some other way around it , but again this was a conversation he would have to have with his son.

She couldn't win, there was no winning this argument. The king was treating her like some stupid child, but he had put her in this position as well. He hadn't been careful as to not conceive a child, she wasn't the only one to blame. "It is spitting in your face to not want to kill a child that could be yours?" She retorted, her tone taking a bit of energy to it now as her anger built. The damn eventually burst. The sweet women losing her grip on control. "But who is to hold you accountable? You think that just because you are a king that you are above everything? Even morality? You are a king Justus. Not a god."
She bristled as his words continued, her hands rising to rest over her stomach. "No. I'm not being selfish. I could have drank the tea the queen offered and kept living how I have been. I did not want to be pregnant my king, but I am. But I am no more to blame for this childs conception than the father. I do not want leverage or anything else you would accuse me of. I just want to live here with the man I love! I know he cant marry me, I know I will never be anything more than a mistress. But I know that being with Ezra is worth it."
The accusations didn't stop there. Her title was stripped and she was reduced to the servants quarters. But at least she was able to remain, for now. A curse, he called her. His words striking a little too close to what her brother used to say. "I never meant to hurt you...or cause problems. I could have continued to lie Justus but I wanted to tell you the truth. I trusted that you would be kind as I have seen you be to others." She rubbed her arm. "I am aware that I was just a plaything for you, but I had hoped that maybe you considered me a friend as well." She was crying, large heavy tears cutting streaks down her caramel-hued face.
"...I suppose I should move my things to the servants quarters. Thank you...for allowing me to stay."

` justus delago his eyes narrowed as he looked at her. this was the first time he had actually seen her in this light. it was a mess really. if he spoke to her to harshly or did to her what he would have done to others , he was cruel. if he tried to be timid in the way he talked to her , she took it offensively. she asked him about killing a babe that might be his and he pressed his lips together. " might be mine kamaria. if this was some other human , perhaps. i could have made it seem like it was mine at least ! , now he was angry. " accountability was protecting you from the queen who could have very welled had you killed. accountability for the part i played in this. when you told me about the baby , did i disown you ! did i turn you to the streets. honestly kamaria i was excited for this ! and i had been willing to do anything to make sure that baby was protected by me! , he sneered as he looked at her shaking his head. "n ow that you are pointing fingers , you have two more pointed at you. as far as i knew , you were just bedding me. but now my son. again , i don't know if that child is mine or it is my grandchild. you are brave enough to tell me that you are in love with my son. that you had also been his bed warmer and now that baby isn't mine. all at once , instead of coming to me and saying you no longer wanted to be in the position you were in. you couldn't come to me and tell me you were in love with my child , that you wanted to be with him. do you know how much easier that would have been , then you lying? or hiding it?" , he asked her. " are you trying to manipulate me ? i don't understand this or you right now. you took things to far kamaria. even if it had been another person's you could have stopped being a mistress long enough for me to figure something out so you could have been with ezra. but you chose to lie about it. the only part i take accountability for kamaria is maybe getting you pregnant. maybe. and i was fine with that. i was at peace with that. but you created this mess. so why push the responsibility from yourself?, he looked at her again shaking his head. he couldn't understand what she was thinking. didn't she realize how much trouble this could really be. justus wasn't just some man , he was king. he didn't think he was a god but he had duties to his kingdom. if his advisers knew of this , they would have suggested on killing her. she was a threat to the kingdom at this point. they would probably see it as she was a liability and she wasn't worth it. justus knew ezra and ezra would probably fight them over it and then it was have just left his son bitter. but at this point , hadn't his son lied to him too ? complicated mess , this was entirely too much and he was trying to handle it in a way so that he could possibly keep his family together. on the other hand he was trying to keep from having to ban kamaria from the kingdom as well. she spoke again and he breathed out loudly. " you could have very well had what you wanted. you are brave enough to ask for it now. is it the baby that is giving you this clarity , this bravery. selfish is not telling me you were sleeping with my son. selfish is not ending one and now being pregnant with a baby you don't know the father of. i would never force you to bed me kamaria. have i ever hurt you ! have i ever laid a hand on you to make you think other wise ! do i not let you talk freely to me without consequence ? maybe i made this mess huh " , he asked her. he leaned in a bit. now she was crying. justus knew his patience was wearing thin. getting up , he was pacing again. his fist hitting a stone end table , watching it crumble. "kamaria. the truth from the beginning would have been better. i could have already had a plan. i have been more then nice to you. any other time it would have ended in that babes death and then yours too. you want everyone else to bend to your situation and not care how they would affect me , ezra or elysia. i'm disappointed because you have been highly favored above a lot of others." , he rubbed his head again. i did consider you a friend once kamaria. but friends don't do this to each other." , he added shaking his head. "i've never once lied to you. i have tried to consider your feelings above everyone else's. and now you are asking me to accept this betrayal. he are asking me to accept that baby as whom's ? i don't know what you could possibly be thinking of now." , it was more of a question. since you have demands here. where would you like to stay kamaria ? in ezra's private chambers ? not in this castle. you don't want to leave , but maybe you should. maybe having some land outside the walls would be best for you. then ezra could come and go freely. either way , i'm trying not to make rushed descions with you without ezra." , he sighed again. he yelled for a guard to bring ezra to him. this was mind numbing and he could feel his blood start to boil. he didn't want to break anything else.

his head hung heavy as he was starting to doze off, chin falling off of his hand causing grey eyes to jolt open. He shifted a little in his seat and cleared his throat sitting up as he looked back down at the papers on his desk. A large dark ink spot was now in the center of the page where he had been holding his quill, it dripping allowing the paper to soak it in. ”Son of a---...”
”Seems like a metaphor for your life there, Ezzy.” A voice cooed behind him. There had only been one person who had ever called him Ezzy and that, of course, was none other than Keegan. ”You should really start sleeping.” He didn’t glance the ghostly direction instead he grabbed the paper and crumpled it up and tossed it to the other side of the room. Maybe if he ignored him maybe he would go away. He grabbed another sheet out of the drawer and attempted to refocus on his task, shifting in his chair and starting to scrawl letters on the page. A cold chill could be felt over the left side of his shoulder causing him to only shift his head his direction. Grey eyes rose to view the face who was frozen in death of barely just barely 22 years old. A slick grin pressed itself on Keegan's face and as he parted his lips to speak to the ghostly figure a knock came to the door.
All was lost.
The figure quickly faded out as the door hesitantly opened. ”My prince, the king is requesting your appearance in his chambers.” The guards head was bowed and quietly he waved him off. He would attend in a moment first he had to get his head back on straight before needing to deal with his father. He wasn’t really sure if he was ready to deal with any of this. Exhaustion wore heavy on him but once he had the chance he was going to speak to some advisors on his power. It unnerved him really. He was never open about it not with his parents or anyone and Kamaria had only accidentally found out. Adjusting himself accordingly he made his way out of the room and headed towards the Kings Quarters.
A quick knock he pushed the door open not noticing Kamaria at first as the words passed from his lips first. ”You wished to see m--.” his eyes fell onto the weeping human woman and his features hardened for a moment as they sharply fell back to Justus. It didn’t take a genius as to what he was called here for. Most of the time when it came to business or affairs he wasn’t involved unless it was something he had to learn and this was by no means a learning matter. The relationship with his parents had always been strained. Both were busy and had no time for children but that didn’t leave them entirely relationshipless. He respected both of his parents and knew when to speak and when not to. However, since his father taking mistresses, their relationship had become more strained.
Call him old fashioned but he certainly didn’t agree with cheating on the queen whether she knew about it or not. A commitment was a commitment. If you were bored then free her and take another as Queen. It was all selfish to him.
Completely in disregard to Justus he turned his attention back to Kamaria, solely on her as he approached her. ”Has any harm come to you?” he lifted a hand and brushed his thumb over her tear stained cheek brushing them away. ”it will be fine.” he couldn’t promise that but he didn’t think his father was as reckless as pushing him away all in efforts of pushing out his mistress. Now looking back to Justus he stood hands moving to his pockets as he waited for Justus to start speaking.
He knew better. He would not say anything until his father would say what he needed to and then… and only then…. Would Ezra have his own piece to say.

There was a broken table. The sound of rock shattering echoing throughout the chamber. She flinched and turned away with a gasp. She didn't have the words he wanted to hear. Nothing she could say would be good enough. So, in the end, she held her tongue and just tried to stifle her sobs. Flinching again when he suddenly bellowed for Ezra to be brought to them. She waited in silence, wrapping her arms around herself and pulling her fluffy robe tighter against her body. Eventually, Ezra would arrive. A soft rap on the door announcing his presence.
Kamaria didn't turn to look at him at first, she didn't want to make things worse. But she felt a surge of relief at having him near. Less terrified that the king might completely lose his patience and not just take out his frustration on a piece of furniture. Ezra began to speak and stopped, Kai's reddened eyes lifting to see him moving toward her. A soft question on his lips as he brushed her tears away. She shook her head 'no' when he asked if she was harmed. Not trusting herself to speak. Her hand briefly rose to touch his hand as he brushed her tears away but she quickly let it fall away. Again turning her dark eyes down to the floor so the two men could speak.
Ezra said it would be fine, but he couldn't know that and his words did little to calm her. She struggled to stop crying although the occasional tear would still slip free. One of her hands clutching tightly around the locket as if it were a font of strength for her. She looked at Justus, hoping that if nothing else Ezra wouldn't bear any punishment for this. That she could carry the weight of it for them both. He had enough to deal with already.

Immortals were just that , immortal. The dynamics of everyday living with them had always been different. After the treaty there wasn't too much death in the kingdom. ( Besides the petty crimes and some loose canons ) The immortals never died. They lived for centuries , they got to see a lot more then other races did. The good , the bad and they also got to see there people become more progressive. Reaching a certain age , life changed for you. It wasn't uncommon for immortals to change partners. What the king and queen did however for the most part stayed quiet. Their commitment meant to each other had not been life those of humans , there commitment to each other was always to have one another back , remain friends , remain leaders and never let things hurt the kingdom. Most importantly never let things hurt their family. She had her times where she stepped out ( most of the time not wanting Justus to know) , but she always be Justus's side. If it was one major reason why he loved his wife was because she never let emotion dictate her reactions to certain things. Just like this situation. he was sure that she was not pleased and he was sure that she was not happy. She probably saw this as a threat to their entire family and he was surprised she had been calm enough where she did have Kamaria killed right then. Everyone wanted to point fingers at Justus ( masking behind his strength as the example ) when he was the probably the least rash out of the couple.
Breaking the table had been nothing. It didn't leave a bruise , he didn't leave a cut. The way a normal person would put their hand down , that was the amount of force was given when he had broken the table into pieces. He saw Kamaria wince and gasp , shaking his head. More then 500 years being alive , she wasn't going to be the reason why he had lost control. He asked for his son because it that moment he found himself tired of the conversation. He could take the fact that he had laid with her. He could have taken the fact that he had a baby. But not knowing who the father is and then sharing the woman with his son was not ideal. Justus was into a lot of stuff , but that was not one of them. She had thrown the word friend so easily , but whatever friendship they could've had had been tossed out the window. If both of them had been honest from the beginning be probably would have been better prepared for what he had to do. As the guard announced Ezra's arrival , Justus turned his head to look at his son. Immediate wave annoyance washed over him. " She logically can't stay here Ezra. I can tell you two don't want to be apart. But she can not stay in her quarters. To be honest , all of you could have come to me. Kamaria , as a "friend". I'm using this word loosely. And you as my son should have come to me. I wouldn't want to sleep with someone you are." , he made that very clear. "Immortals are known for a lot of things , but this kind of crosses the line don't you think ?" , he joked though he meant every word. " This could have been easier if you two came to my sooner. Now I need to fix this. I can not , will not do this because your crying. Or this makes it easy for you." , he looked at Kamaria before looking back at Ezra.
He paced , his hands behind his back. " I could title her as lady. Regardless of that it's going to be a scandal. Your name is going to be ran through the mud Kamaria. So no more crying. Ezra , give her land. She be lady "whomever" or "where ever". As far as the baby. This is too difficult to handle. The babes life should have been terminated. But Kamaria was made it clear to your mother and myself that she won't do that. You don't know if you have a brother or a child. The best thing to do would be that , you can always have another baby. But I am not hear to change your mind. But staying here is not a good idea." , he proposed a solution instead of more complaints.
" And this babe is going to be a hybrid. But the spring. The spring will not be a option for this baby. It's protecting you both and it's protecting the throne." , this was something that he would not wave for now. This would not be a option for this baby. It meant that he recognized this baby as a immortal but most importantly it made it seem like this had been alright with him. He was already being soft about the entire situation. A younger Justus would have had the advisers handle it , which would have lead to a death. Maybe even two.

He ignored the expression on Kamaria’s face when he said it would be okay because it would be. Whether Justus like it or not this was the situation that they were given. A life-- no two lives -- were on the line. Two lives that whether he liked it or not would stain all of their names because of what Justus had done. Yes, Ezra was just as bad. He knew who she was to his father and still made the decision anyway to go through with it. That was his choice and he would easily withstand the consequences that came with it but it was out of love. Not lust. Not boredom. Not because he just wanted to…. It was love. That was more than what Justus could say.
He spoke and Ezra listened like the good son he was until he said they could have come to him. Shaking his head, the prince broke eye contact and just grinned that the idiocracy. ”Said no King ever.” he said though he wasn’t trying to be rude he, however, had seen what happened when someone went against a King. ”Tell me the number of people who have survived by going against you? I could probably count on one hand. You are just as hot-headed as mother when you don’t get your way or it doesn’t work in your favor.” His eyes finally fell back onto him. Justus could be a child just like any other ruler out there if things were unfavorable. ”So don’t put that pressure on her.It's not anymore her fault than it is mine or yours. She holds no ground other than being the person to excite you when mother can’t.” He was being mouthy but he was still incredibly sour about this situation and nobody could tell him differently. In his eyes, the only reason his mother even went with him having a mistress because even she couldn’t tell the king no.
If she did she might as well be without a head as well. Kings don’t like being told no…. No matter who they are or what background they had. It was their title. It was their right to power to have whatever they wanted.
”Whether she is here or out there doesn’t make the problem go away.” his opinion it could be taken or left. The matter was Justus would do what he wanted with or without him putting his two sense in but since he was brought here he might as well get it out on the table. ”Matter is the public will know that a living breathing child is either yours or mine. It will make you look as bad as it does me or her. You throwing her out is just as dangerous as her staying here.” A child made out of wedlock was bad on any royal and whether the child was a sibling or a child of his own wasn’t entirely the problem. The problem was that the child would hold no rights to the throne because of the situation it was in, the time it was conceived, and the fact it was born out of a scandal. He spoke on the fact Kamaria refused to terminate the child and he nodded. He didn’t blame her. ”It's not like the child chose to be created.” so it wasn’t fair to have the child punished for all three of their doing. ”But if she is not here then I won’t be either.” And that would be left on Justus’s shoulders. Childish maybe but it was how Ezra felt on the matter. Unlike Justus, he wouldn’t replace or turn away the woman he loved.
”It may not be a hybrid. It could either take after one or the other parent, father.” Ezra corrected looking at him. He was bold enough to speak his mind he might as well do it here too. ”Hybrids are fairly rare and though this situation may be one of those rare moments…. It doesn’t automatically guarantee that it will be a confirmed hybrid. It may be human or it may be Immortal though in reality… we are only human as well…. the only thing that sets us apart is the fact we drank from a spring. Right?” he said logically.
