I raise an eyebrow at her words. Folding my arms across my chest to keep them from doing damage I cannot take back, I glare at her, the hurt must be showing in my eyes but I don't care. "So you did not tell me in one breath that we would try for a family and that you think I would make a good father and tell me that we would be a happy family, and in the next breath, tell my sister that you didn't want children? You did not tell me last night that you believe me truly when I tell you that I'm trying to change my ways but you told my sister only minutes ago that you wanted to wait until you were sure you could give your child a happy and secure future?" I demand of her. "Do you deny all this?"

I listen to his rant,my blood beginning to boil.He was spying on me.
"Do you deny all this?" he asks once he's finished
A part of me wants to just lash out at him verbally and hurt him like he's hurting me right now but I refrain from doing so.

"Yes I do believe you will make a good father and I do want a family with you but what I told Tess was...that I want to wait a while,so that you and I can spend time alone,without a baby interrupting our alone time,so that we can bond again." I say calmly

But then I raise my voice,"Your little informer didn't tell you that did he?Did you think two nights of making love would solve everything Kivar?" I look away in disgust as I wrap my arms around my waist,trembling slightly as a lump forms in my throat "I thought you said you wouldn't listen to rumours about what I may or may not have said and done again.Did he tell you that I am so grateful to whatever it is that made you decide to change?"

Michael

I listen quietly as Max and King Jeff exchange pleasantries before he turns to me and asks,"And what are we supposed to call you, Prince Rath?"

"You can call me Michael,your Majesty."

Occ: Nice posts, Karen!

I close my eyes, trying to decide just how to handle this situation. I still feel like she mislead me about trying to have a baby but at the same time, she does seem to genuinely want to spend time with me first. I don't know who or what to believe. For the first time ever, I'm completely confused and torn in several directions. I sigh deeply and shake my head, trying to silence the voices. "Vilandra, my informer was doing what he thought was right. I did not send him to trail you or even ask anyone to keep an eye on you. He might have heard wrong or misunderstood what he heard but he was trying to help, I have no doubt of that. As to my not listening to rumors about you, that is why I brought it up to you instead of simply acting. Do you not understand? I am the king and people will constantly be watching those around me, especially due to the past history of wars for centuries. I trust you, Lon, more than you can imagine or believe and I love you even more than that." I hope that at this point she will turn and face me again.

"I am sorry that I reacted the way that I did but I was hurt by the way it all came about and the timing. I received some disturbing news about an insurrection and spies and...well, you need not worry yourself about that. I'm handling that. I can only say that these past few days have been the happiest of my life and I hope to have many more of them in the future. Forgive me?" I ask.

~KING JEFFREY~

"Michael, it's nice to have you both. Do you have any questions? Shall I have you shown your quarters before you meet the princess or would you like to be introduced to her first?" I ask them both.

"Michael, it's nice to have you both. Do you have any questions? Shall I have you shown your quarters before you meet the princess or would you like to be introduced to her first?"

I look at Michael, thinking. He clearly expects me to make the decision so I look back at the King and say, "If it would be possible your highness...could we meet the princess first? I'm very much looking forward to meeting her" I say politely.

Occ: Since Flamehair is out for a little while and she gave us permission to temp for her, I'll go ahead and do it. Unless someone else wants to volunteer.

~KING JEFFREY~

I smile. I had hoped that would be the answer but I wouldn't have blamed them for asking for a bit of rest first. "Of course, if you will both just follow me, I'll take you to her myself."

I move to the doorway and walk down the halls, leading the way to Liz's chambers.

I suddenly feel very tired and weary by everything.The constant vacillating that Kivar puts me through.He isn't even aware of it.Even though he's been good to me for the past two days I am still jumpy aorund him whenever he raises his voice.I was half expecting him to strike me just now.

"...I can only say that these past few days have been the happiest of my life and I hope to have many more of them in the future. Forgive me?"

I take a deep breath and close my eyes shut tightly for a moment,suppressing the lump in my throat."I forgive you...but I can't take this anymore Kivar." I think I need to tell him how terrified I had become of him "Everytime you accuse me of something I expect you to...to become someone else and hurt me."

A sob escapes my throat now and I dont' bother to hide it.

(ooc: Sorry this is lame I dont know what else to put!)


~~~~~MAXWELL~~~~~
"Of course, if you will both just follow me, I'll take you to her myself."

I nodded before walking after him quickly, hoping that Rath would follow.

Suddenly all the wind has gone out of my sails. I take the step forward and pull her against me. Stroking her back and rocking her slightly, I tell her softly, "Yes, but it takes time to learn to trust that I have changed and I know that. I think we both know that just days ago if we had a day like today, I wouldn't have been able to control my temper and would have done something I would have regreted. Lonnie, I promised you I would change and I keep my promises. As long as you continue to try to be patient with me and stay as understanding as you have been the past few days, things will work out and I'll always love, cherish, and protect you. I wasn't trying to accuse you, Lon, it just came out that way. I'm sorry. And in my favor, I didn't once even raise my hand as if to hit you."

I sigh as I pull back and brush away her tears with my fingers. "We have a long road ahead of us, Lonnie, but it's not impossible. Trust in me that I'm in it for the long haul." I kiss her.
