Tendranalia Palace/Dining Hall

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} He walked into the giant Hall. The giant golden table was filled with steaming silver platters piled high with delicious food. But no on ever came in here to have family meals anymore. Not after Dad died. Zayn took a plate and started piling on the food he wanted. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now.

She headed to the table to start loading her plate when she noticed her older brother. "Hey, Zayn!" She greeted him. "What's up?"

If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} He was a bit surprised but managed to not show it. "Hungry," he answered, keeping his eyes fixed on the food, wondering which Elven nachos he should choose.

Message Me "Oh," She said, swallowing the purple vegetable she just stuffed in her mouth. "It's just all this stuff with Dad is reminding him of everything he went through before he came here. You can't really hold it against him."

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} "No, I guess I can't," Zayn said, sitting down in a plush chair he pushed away from the table. He began to eat. After a few bites, he said, "But he said he didn't care that Dad was dead. He dead he would've done it himself, that was how much he hated us."

{{{Character name}}} - Princess Comic - Common sense is like deoderant. The people who need it most never use it. Message Me "Octavian is... just Octavian. He's been through alot and he's still going through more. He sometimes does or says thing irrationaly. Like when he's upset or angry about something or someone." She said thoughtfully, thinking of her past talks with her little brother.

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} "Yeah," he considered. "Just sometimes he acts like he really doesn't appreciate that he's not living in a dumpster." He sighed. "Dad always knew how to reason with Octavian. I wish Dad was still here."

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time.

I don't know how this kingdom is going to survive without him." He turned to her. "Literally. The murderer is probably still out there."

"But once you become king, everything will get better, right?" She asked, almost desprate for him to agree. "And you'll make a plan to protect the kingdom, right?"

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} "Right," he said, more to make himself feel better. "But I can't be crowned until I marry. And have you seen the princesses from other kingdoms?"

{{{Character name}}} - Princess Comic - Common sense is like deoderant. The people who need it most never use it. Message Me She nodded. As much as she hated the idea of Zayn getting married and having his own, separate life, she knew him becoming king was the best thing for this kingdom. "I hate all this change," she whispered. "I like everything the way it used to be."

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} "I wish things never changed from what they were," he agreed. He liked it when him getting married and becoming a king was faraway, when Octavian wasn't so angry all the time, when they were a family...

Zayn Clement 🔥 Egotistical Pyrokinetic 👑 First-in-Line ― "Diplomacy isn't just about doing or saying the right things at the right times, it's about not doing or saying the wrong things at any time. If only I was diplomatic." Call Me Up Boi 👑 {{{time}}} He hated it when Maya cried. Because it meant that whatever they were dealing with really was bad. This whole time, it had seemed like a bad dream, that maybe, he would wake up and his father would be there, smiling down on him. But now it seemed to set in, that all of this was very real. That he was never coming back. "I-I don't know, Maya. I really don't." He turned to her, trying not cry himself. "I met someone the other day."
