The Dragon Brothers
Chapter 38 - The King Has Committed Treason

* The Castle at Drakor; The Capital of the Chromos *

* The Royal Feast in Honor of Rohesia and Angelus * Quentin POV

It's the night of the royal feast. Elena dresses in a dark green dress that matches her eyes. It is sleeveless with simple straps on her shoulders and has a low cut in the front showing off her ample breasts and the back is open all the way to just above her bottom. It's decorated with green sequins on the front and along the bottom of the dress.

When she steps out of her room my mouth drops open. I can't believe how beautiful she looks. She's the woman of my dreams.I quickly recover before she realizes that I'm just a total dork and I offer my arm for her to put her hand on and we move to the dining room. Once inside most of the lords and ladies have already arrived with their servants sitting behind them. Elena wants to copy the servants and starts to sit behind me but I'm not having that so I pull her on my lap. "Prince Quentin I cannot sit on your lap, it is indecent. Please, allow me to sit behind you as a servant." She pleads with me.

"Fuck no. I invited you here as my date not as my servant. It looks like the seats are filling up quickly and I'm not sure if there will be an extra seat for you so stay here in my lap." I state firmly as I see nothing wrong with her sitting on my lap. "But people are staring and whispering and I am nothing but a wh❞ I interrupt her before she can finish her statement.

"Don't ever call yourself that again. That's not who you are anymore. You're perfect in every way and I don't care if other people gossip or stare. They're only starring because they're jealous of how beautiful you are." I say as I rub her arms up and down trying to help her relax. She finally starts to relax and leans back into my chest.

The most annoying advisor, Lord Forest, speaks up. It's obvious that he has had too much to drink. He's not usually this forthcoming with his thoughts. Elena jumps and runs away in tears.

Wolf POV

Emily looks ravishing. She's wearing a royal blue dress that matches her blue eyes perfectly. It has a sweetheart neckline with slim straps going over her shoulders and is cut low on her back. It has tiny jewels tied into a design on the front, around the waist, and around the bottom.

I've been looking forward to this day for so long. I finally have the chance to introduce Emily to my brothers. She's nervous but I know they will all love her. Our first stop is Lucian and Viola.

"Emily, this is my brother Lucian and his wife Viola. Lucian is the king of the Chromos Empire. He's also the general of the royal army. These are the children they just adopted, Rohesia and Angelus." I state proudly. I'm very proud of my family. Emily curtsies and bows her head out of respect. "It's so nice to meet you, your majesties." She's so respectful and that makes me proud.

"You're practically family! Please, it's just Lucian and Viola." Viola says grabbing Emily's hands tightly. This is going great so far.

"Well, We have lots more people that I want her to meet so we'll see you again." I wave and we walk off.

"Emily, this is my brother Quentin." I'm not sure who the girl is that she's with but she's truly beautiful. Of course she doesn't hold a candle to my Emily.

"Hi Wolf! This is Elena and we just recently met but I believe she'll be around the family for quite some time." The whole time Quentin is talking he never takes his eyes off of Elena. He keeps smiling fondly at her. I have a feeling my youngest sibling has found his mate.

Emily politely curtsies and shakes their hands but I must take her away so I can replace Cyprian.

"Emily, this is my brother Cyprian." I've never met the woman he's with so I can't introduce her.

"Hey Wolf. This is Molle and we're engaged." His face is all smiles until that dickhead Advisor Forest has to speak up and act like this is the correct venue to voice some opinions about the royal family and even though I'm not named in his little speech it pisses me off just the same.

Then There's commotion at the front of the dining hall that catches both of our attention but I can't see what's happening.

Molle has insisted on coming only as my servant. She even gets angry when I introduce her to my brothers and tell them that we're engaged. She insists on sitting behind me as a servant would do instead of next to me as a guest. I think the whole atmosphere is too overwhelming for her.

A server comes over with a glass of wine. He's holding it in midair waiting for Molle to take it but she evidently doesn't know that's her job if she wants to stay in a servant role. So, to alleviate the awkwardness in the air I take the glass and set it down.

The server turns to Molle "You were supposed to take that for him you dumb girl! Where did you get your training at? I hope your master punishes you."

I turn to the server sword drawn. I have it at his neck easily within seconds. "I'm training her and I will correct her and her punishments are none of your concern. Do you understand server?"

"Yes your highness." He barely squeeks it out. You would think someone had a hold of his balls.

"Molle come here." I command sternly

"Yes?" She still trembles at the slightest hint of anger in my voice.

I grab her wrist and pull her into my lap. "I'm not going to let anyone else mistake you for being a servant and think they can talk down to you. You're going to stay right here." I'm firm when I speak to her but gentle at the same time. I rub soothing circles on her back and lift her hand up so I can kiss her knuckles. I don't like it when she fears me but sometimes I have to be stern with her for her own good.

Advisor Forest stands up and makes some disparaging opinionated statements about the royal family and of course some of it is directed at me. My blood is boiling but Lucian addresses it before I can. Lucian POV

Viola is so excited for today as we reveal our adoption of Rohesia and Angelus to the empire. The children have been behaving so well and started calling us mom and dad without being asked to do so. Rohesia is dressed in a purple dress because that's her favorite color and Angelus is wearing a black suit with a green vest because green is his favorite color. They both look awesome.

Just when I'm about to introduce the new prince and princess Advisor Forest, obviously drunk off his ass, stands up with his glass and dings it with a fork. "Here! Here! Guests of the royal feast. I need to have your attention for a moment. There are two princes present that seem to have forgotten what it means to be princely. They are acting unbecoming of a true prince. I call for the revocation of their title."

"Name the princes and their actions." I respond coldly drumming my fingers on the table in front of me. This better be good or his head is going to roll.

"Prince Quentin is obviously dating a well known whore and Prince Cyprian is dating a former slave! Does anyone dare to disagree with my statements?" He said looking very proudly.

"Who my brothers sleep with or date is no one's business but their own. Furthermore, we are the royals and we make the rules not you. Guards take him away!" I am thoroughly pissed off but the show must go on so I stand back up to make the announcement for the feast and introduce the children.

"Welcome everyone that has come in attendance to the royal feast. Viola and I would like to introduce our newly adopted children. However, I want to make this clear to everyone, they are to be treated as if they were children of our blood. They are not to be treated any different." My last statement I speak while looking around the room and eyeing anyone that would dare treat my children differently just because they are not of my blood.

"Now, with great pleasure may I introduce Princess Rohesia and Prince Angelus" I turn and the children step forward as the crowd erupts in cheers. Rohesia turns to face me burying her face in my leg. Angelus, however, is just eating up all of the attention as he's clapping, waving, and smiling. He's so cute I just have to bend down and give him a big hug.

After the children have been introduced they sit down at our table in between Viola and I.The boy next to me and the girl next to Viola. Food and wine is now being served and I'm helping put portions on the boy's plate as well as mine when a young man runs up to me.

"A challenge has been made for the king's crown! The king has committed treason!" My guards instantly surround the young man creating quite a commotion but he starts to cry out "I am just a messenger! Please don't kill me!"
