Avoiding the Emperor

" The emperor is coming ..."

Some servant came first and positioned themselves while waiting for the emperor to elegantly making his entrance. While Lucious and Theo also stand up and kneel when Osiris, the emperor came.

"Greetings to your majesty " they both simultaneously said while still kneeling.

Without glancing at Theo, Osiris just continuously walked towards Lucious and helping him to stand up, he brushes his hand in Lucious cheeks while the other is in his hair, tucking it behind his ear which made Lee more speechless. Majesty calm yourself a little.

"How's your day? are you sleepy? " He softly uttered while looking at Lucious adoringly.

"I-I'm fine" Lucious stuttered a little while embarrassingly glancing at Theo because of what this dump Emperor is doing.

"we should go and have our dinner"

" should we? together with Prince Theo? "

The emperor didn't answer for a moment ... the surroundings field with silent.

"for so many years we haven't meet, this is how you'll treat me?" Theo said sounding like he is greatly hurt.

" I made them make your favorite " Osiris still continued as if he heard nothing while putting his hand in Lucious waist.

As if he already loses his patience Theo's face redden in anger. " Oz you!!! "

Still continuing acting as if he heard nothing making Theo's existence like air he still urgest Lucious to walk while still retaining his eyes at him.

Pitying Theo, Lucious looked at Osiris,he glared at him, as if scolding him even though unknown to him this just makes him looked cute at Emperor's sight making Osiris looked at him more softly.

" Apologies Prince Theo the servants already prepared everything for us. " Lucious said while removing the Emperor's hand and walking towards Theo which made him greatly touched.

His an angel!

The emperor was deeply hurt . . .

"Why did you come here? " Emperor asked Theo a little annoyed.

Theo hmp-ed! before answering " I'll tell it later "

Even though it against Osiris will, the three of them had a dinner together. Lucious and Osiris have almost no space between them, while Theo was slightly further eating a little lonely while watching the Emperor monopolizing Lucious. Even though Lucious tried being considerate to him Osiris is preventing him from time to time he gets a chance.

Currently, they are drinking tea after having their supper. Lucious is feeling a little sleepy because of the fresh surrounding brought by the wind. It's been long since he had time to leisurely sleep, since the wedding day is nearing his scheduled became hectic making his normal routine a mess. How he misses being lazy, just napping, going on adventures and just messing around.

Spending some hours with Theo he found out that the two are childhood friends they practically grow up together because both of their father are also friends. Despite being a prince, Theo is really far in line from being a ruler in their country because of his two other brother that is why he was not being paid attention much. Theo is a free spirited man always visiting Osiris, though the Emperor as a child is not that different from the adult Emperor, Theo more preferred spending time with Osiris because even though Osiris is a little cold at him, not talking, not looking he still greets him silently and when he is arriving unannounced he still stays beside him ... quietly.

He sometimes thinks that Osiris hates him but one part of his mind says otherwise, maybe he is just shy.  What a positive guy.

" Are you sleepy? "  The emperor asked. Lucious nodded while putting the tea cup down.

" Should we retire for the day? " Lucious shakes his head.

" Prince Theo still wants to talk to you "

" But I want to be with you " Lucious chokes a little, no wonder when he asked Lee how the Emperor handle political work he was a little depress.

" He handles them perfectly ... before ."  for some reason at that moment he have a feeling that he should apologize at Lee.

" I'll lay in the hammock while waiting for you " Lucious said after walking towards it, but the Emperor still followed until he laid comfortably in the hammock.

" Just go your majesty, I'll just be here " Lucious insisted slightly pushing the other who is leaning more closer at him.

" Can I get a kiss? " The emperor whispered at him

"stop, someone is here "

"he's not looking" Theo can't see anything but he wants to shout at the Emperor that he still have ears and he could hear everything. His friend really changed, how he wish that his friend also changed how he treats him.

"I'll bite you" Lucious abruptly said annoyed already.

There's a moment of silence. " will you kiss me after? "

Lucious wants to scream in embarrassment.

---

" What do you want to talk to me? " The emperor started.

" is that a teeth mark on your cheeks? "

"yes" The emperor answered with an emotionless face with a hint of blush on his face.

why do you look so happy? Theo thought but he no longer want to ask it.

" Anyway, I know you know what is happening at my country " Theo started.

Theo's country Dystopia, is really a beautiful country that was saved from poverty by his father, the current Emperor. But due to old age his retirement is nearing and the next in line is his big brother Leo. Originally there is no problem until he found out that he's brother have a plan of selling their own country to their enemy country, Helia. And the only people who knows this is him and his second brother Neo.

" We don't want to worry our father more because he is already sick. What's more is I found out that Helia is planning to attack us on the same day my big brother Leo appointed to be the next Ruler. "

" No problem I'll aid you " Osiris announced without a second thought.

" I know you will but there is another thing I want to asked you "

The emperor didn't responded but instead just looked at him.

" I want to talk to your general commander, Rold Athelstan "

" If ever I want to bring him to my country " Theo continued.
