nTalia called me around noon on Sunday to come and get her. I had spent two long and boring days inside the hotel. I didn’t leave it at all. All the food that I ate was delivered so that I wouldn’t be out and distracted if she needed me. I needed to know that I was ready to protect her no matter what. She was mine to protect, because I was her head guard, and I wouldn’t fail in my duties no matter what.

nWhen I got the call from her, I immediately grabbed my bag, there was nothing to pack because I had put them away as I used them. Heading down to the desk I checked out and told them that I didn’t care that I needed to pay for the entire day because it was past check out. I told them to charge me for the whole damned week, I didn’t care. I needed to leave. After throwing the keys down on the counter, I stormed out of the building and toward the SUV that I had parked there two nights before. I had to get to Talia and protect her once again. She was done with her weekend away from the reality of her life.

nWhen I pulled up to the house that she was at, I saw that everything seemed peaceful and calm. That was good, but I couldn’t be sure that nothing happened until I saw Talia again. Putting the car into park, I got out and walked to the door. They made me ring the doorbell instead of just answering it when I got there.

n“Good afternoon, Mr. Ptolemy.” Ocean Waters smiled at me. He was the one that had opened the door the other night when I dropped Talia off. “It is good to see you again. Talia is grabbing her things. Would you like to come in?”

n“No, I will wait out here.” I nodded at him. “I trust that nothing happened in my absence. Talia is as safe as when I left her in your care.”

n“She is fine. I will admit that she got a little upset the other night, but all is well now.” He informed me as he looked over his shoulder. I did not like the sound of that. What had happened to Talia? Had they caused it.

n…..

n“What happened?” I asked him to elaborate, but he just shook his head.

n“She has asked to be the one to tell you. I am sorry, but I will honor her wishes.” I saw Talia coming up behind him then. She looked fine, not at all upset, but I was still worried. What had happened the other night? And why hadn’t she called to tell me about it?

n“Hey, Lex.” She smiled at me as she waved. “Are you ready to go home?” Now that I was near her, I felt calmer. I knew that this was just because she was my queen and I was due to follow her into the underworld, so I didn’t think much of it. I was Talia’s guard, I had been here for her since she was young, so my place was right there by her side, protecting her for the rest of my life.

n“Yes, Talia, let us be off.” I didn’t mention the topic that Ocean Waters had brought up, but I did look at him. He nodded at me as if saying that it was good that I was waiting until we were gone to bring it up.

n“Alright, come on Lex.” Talia went to walk past me, but I wouldn’t let her. I needed to guide her. I was the guard after all.

nTalia didn’t say anything else as we walked to the SUV. I took her bag and put it in the trunk and then opened the door for her. She allowed me to do that this time, which was much appreciated as well. I preferred to be able to follow through with all my duties.

nAfter we were seated and the car started, I turned to face her and asked what the problem was.

n“Ocean Waters told me that something upset you, but you did not tell me about it. What happened, Talia?”

n“Hahh.” She sighed, but it was almost playful. Like she expected this and was just playing along with it all. “I knew you’d ask.” She smiled at me.

n“Of course. This is my responsibility, Talia.”

n“Well, nothing really happened to me, but I did find something out the other night. Something that I am sure you and my parents want to know about.” She spoke calmly as I started to drive away from the Waters home.

n“What was it?” I asked her, pressing her once more for the information.

n“Well, I decided to make a few prank phone calls. I called Arthur because he was someone that came to mind. I decided to pretend that he was a secret agent and I was his handler. I told him that I needed updates on the mission, but it wasn’t fake on his end. He really is on a mission.”

n“What mission?” I stopped the car at a red light and turned to face Talia. I didn’t like the sound of this.

n“A mission to become king. He is apparently using me.” I saw that she wasn’t happy, but she was holding her composure all the same.

n“Excuse me?” I was a little beyond pissed, but I didn’t want to explode in the car. That would cause a scene for others to see.

n“Yup. He is apparently here to become the king. And somehow, he was able to get past Uncle Vincent and Uncle Gabriel.”

n“That is alarming. We need to tell your parents right away.”

n“Yeah, I know. But I wanted to complete my sleepover first. I wanted to have fun after I learned about that. I am sorry if you are upset that I delayed things, but I needed to have some time to myself.”

n“I understand, Talia.” I nodded at her. “You needed time to calm down. I will not fault you for that.” I didn’t like that she delayed his punishment, but she also thought about herself. I wasn’t going to make her feel bad about that at all. “Now though, it is time to punish him.”

n“I agree.” She nodded at me. “When we get back to the castle, I will take my things to my room and find my parents. Wherever they are, I will take them to their office. If you do not mind, Lex, you can go and find Arthur for me. I am sure that he will know that he messed up big time with you showing up at his door.” She was grinning evilly as she said that. She definitely wanted to see him answer for what he had done, and I was glad to know that she had a bit of ruthlessness inside of her. She was going to need it in the underworld.

nWhen we arrived back at the castle, I allowed Talia to go on without me. She even convinced me to let her take my bag. I wasn’t the type of man that liked to make women carry things for him, so that didn’t sit well with me, but as Talia said, we had to get things moving on Arthur’s punishment. He had to answer for what he had done. And we needed to find out who else was involved with this crime of his. People were going to pay, I just didn’t know how many people.

nI knew where Arthur was likely to be. He was staying in one of the guest homes on the side of the castle. There were a lot of places that would be exactly what the person needed while they were there. The home could be very large even though it didn’t take up any space inside of the castle at all. These were magical homes, much like the rooms in the royal tower. The bedrooms there were as big as they needed to be, no matter how large the tower was. That is how there were also so many bedrooms for the kids in that hall without needing to rebuild things. The doors could all be side by side, but the space between them was infinite. It had always perplexed me, but I enjoyed the benefits of this place myself. My room was what it needed to be, even though there was no actual space between Talia’s room and Rika’s room. It was amazing.

nWhen I finally found Arthur’s place on the side of the castle, his name clearly marked on the door, I started to thunder hard on the door with my fist. I let him know without a doubt that this was important and his appearance was more than requested, it was demanded.

n“Who is it?” Arthur called through the door. I knew that he was scared, I could hear it in his voice.

n“Alexio Ptolemy.” I roared at him through the door. I knew that he would know Talia was home, because I was here. And he was most likely going to think that she wanted to see him because she missed him.

n“Oh, Talia is home? That’s good to know.” He finally opened the door to look at me. I saw that the boy was looking smug and full of himself. He truly thought that Talia just couldn’t get enough of him and that she desired his presence. He didn’t know what was going on. “Does Talia want me to come and see her? Where is she?” This boy had never been allowed to see her in her room at all, but I knew that he tried to get there repeatedly. And he also tried to get her into his place as well. He was a worm of a man, and that pissed me off. He tried to make Talia think that he cared for her, but he really just wanted power.

n“I have been asked to take you to her. Come with me.” I told him in as calm of a voice as I could manage. He knew that I didn’t like him though, so the hint of anger didn’t throw him off at all. He had expected it after all.

n“Sure, whatever.” He stepped out of the home and that was when I decided to not be so nice.

nI grabbed the boy by the back of his neck and forced him to face away from me as I marched him down the hallway. He screamed a little in fear as he started to lose his balance, but I kept him upright.

n“Take your hands off of me. Talia will be pissed if you hurt me.”

n“Shut up.” I snapped at him. “I am taking you to where you need to go.” I forced him forward and had to endure the boy complaining the entire time. He didn’t know what was going on, and that was making things worse for him.

nWhen Arthur realized that I was taking him toward the royal elevator, he started to act smug.

n“Oh, Talia wants me in her bedroom, huh?” He asked with a disgusting tone in his voice. “I knew that she would want me sooner or later.”

n“Shut up.” I snarled at him. “We are not going there.” And that was when he saw me hit the button for the offices. At that moment, all the color drained from his face. He knew where we were going now, and the fear was taking over his entire body. He was shaking and trembling as his entire body turned cold as ice.

nI do believe that at that moment, Arthur realized how much trouble he was in. He knew that he was going to have to answer for what he had done. And I personally couldn’t wait until Reece heard what this boy had done. He had never liked the kid either. This was going to be good.
