My Evil Boy Toy

It was supposed to be a royal secret but we were surprised that some paparazzis were present when we arrived. We didn't know who gave the information of our arrival but we guessed that someone from Flousia did that.

Kyle wanted to personally pick us up but we told them it would be better for them to stay in the palace.

I felt Jayden hold my hand when we started to walk out of the plane. A.E security team and the royal guards who were assigned to protect me and the others were positioned all around the airport.

In Flousia International Airport, there's an arrival area for the royal family. The paparazzis weren't allowed to enter that area. It was exclusive only for the King and his family. But there's still a place for them provided by the airport to take pictures.

 Jayden gently supported me when we were walking down the plane. In his left arm was Caden. On our back was the Wilson Family followed by Percy and Sophie. Lastly, Andrew and Nina.

Andrew ordered the crew to stand by in case of an emergency. Luke and Jayden assigned some men to guard the area and instructed them to let no one near the plane.

We were not sure if anyone aside from us and the mafia knew that a war was coming. On our side, we could feel some tension already.

Father didn't come with us. He flew two days ahead of us with George's twin brother and my half sisters. We couldn't let the Rossi's know that we are already on the same side.

Kyle let them stay in one of the secret chambers of the palace. It was a place that could only be used by the royal family in case an attack broke out. My sisters were not allowed to leave that place until it's over.

For me, the girls and the kids, Emily designed a room where we can hide while the boys face the mafia. We're not really sure what will happen on that day, but we were still hoping that we could talk to them and maintain peace in Flousia.

That was our plan A. During the coronation, if an attack happens, Kyle and the boys would offer a peace treaty to the Rossi's. Kyle is willing to listen to their demands and if he could accept, he would do it.

"Hey beautiful, what's on your mind?"

My thoughts were cut off when Jayden whispered in my ear. We were already inside the car on the way to the palace.

"Don't worry, I'm not anxious. Just thinking about the plan and stuff." I said.

He smiled, took my hand and kissed it gently.

"We'll do everything to make peace with them. I wanted this to end peacefully so let's pray and hope that everything will be okay." He reassured me.

When we arrived at the palace, we entered from the secret passage and not in front. We wanted to have a quiet arrival and didn't ask for a welcoming ceremony.

I couldn't understand my excitement when I saw Kyle and Emily standing by the entrance of our residence. When we were crowned as the prince and princess of Flousia, we were given a private residence in the palace. We wanted to be alone and far from the stress of royal affairs so the place was in a secluded area.

It was a two storey mansion with a total of ten bedrooms including the master's bedroom. It also has a total area of fifteen hectares, boasting cherry blossom trees and a scenic mountain view.

When the car stopped, Jayden's cousin opened the door for us. Jayden went out first then when it was my turn, I rushed towards Kyle.

He opened his arms and I just jumped in. I was so happy, I cried. I felt relieved that he was okay and he looked totally fine.

"Hey, how's my little sister? Still a crybaby?" He murmured while embracing me tight.

I didn't say a word and just sobbed into his arms. Maybe we really have a strong sibling bond now even though we were apart for two decades. 

"I was so worried about you and Emily." I whispered in the middle of crying.

I felt him tighten his arms around me and kiss me on top of my head.

"You should think of yourself and the baby first. Don't you trust your big brother? I can protect your best friend. I'm the best at fighting." He joked.

"Aww." He was startled when Emily slapped him on the shoulder because of his joke.

I looked at Emily and I was so glad to see her so I pulled her to join our hug.

Then the rest of our friends came and we started greeting each other.

Me and the girls went to the garden to properly talk. We missed Emily after a few months of not seeing them. She really became the queen and a mother figure, not only to her baby who was still in her womb, but also to the Flousians.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine now. And the baby's okay as well." I answered.

"How about you?" Nina asked Emily.

She took a deep breath as we waited for her answer.

"I'm fine. But honestly, I'm trying to be strong. Ever since we found out about the Rossi's, I was so anxious. I know as the future queen, I have to be strong for Kyle."

I took her hand and squeezed it, telling her that this one would pass soon.

"Is there any movement from the Rossi's?" Alora asked.

Emily took a sigh. "Yes. They started attacking small villages, threatening everyone if they wouldn't join their cause."

"It's already a rebellion right? They really wanted to take over the palace by getting Peggy."

"I can't understand why they needed Peggy. I mean they could get Emily, she's the crown princess." Nina commented.

"They can't. Only a royal by birth could take the throne. Emily was chosen to be queen because the future king chose her. She will lose her power as the queen if Kyle is not the king." I said.

"And if it's Peggy, since she's royal by birth, technically, she's next to the throne in case something bad happened to Kyle. He didn't name his successor so Peggy is next in line." It was Emily who continued to explain.

"But she's married to Jayden, so he will be the next king right?" Nina asked again, confused.

"No. One can rule if you are a royal by birth regardless of gender. If Peggy takes the throne, she will be the queen and her husband's title would just be the prince consort, not king. As for Alejandro Rossi, he would have to force Peggy and Jayden to divorce or he could just kill Jayden." Emily explained.

Nina frowned. Her face was full of confusion and questions while Alora and Sophie were just listening.

"The Rossi's didn't know that." Alora blurted.

We looked at her with frowned faces and waited for her to continue. She took a sip from the glass of coffee she was holding before answering.

"Matthew Forelli said that Alejandro Rossi will threaten Peggy to marry him. His main goal was to be the king. He was not aware that he would not be king even if he married Peggy. He could try controlling her or he could take the throne by force. Like threatening the people of Flousia to make him king."

"Oh I understand now!" Nina exclaimed.

"Do you know what's plan B?" I asked in curiosity.

Jayden told me about plan A but never mentioned our other plan. I wanted to ask him again but when I saw them walking towards the office, I think I understood that it was just for the boys to know.

Alora shook her hand as well as the others, confirming that they didn't know anything about it. I would just wait for Jayden to tell me about it.

"Do you sometimes think about what the future holds?" I asked while looking at Caden playing with the Wilson twins.

I was actually thinking about Caden and Alira. I could see that they treated each other well at that age. Caden was still vocal in expressing her feelings towards Alira, telling me that he wanted her to be his wife in the future.

"Our future depends on what we do in the present. It is simply the result of the choices we have made." Alora answered, also staring at her kids and Caden.

Maybe Alora and I were thinking the same thing and also felt the same. We don't want our children to experience what we have experienced.

I turned to Emily and touched her belly.

"Do you already have a name for the baby?"

Emily smiled. "If it's a girl, Catherine, like your mom's name. If it's a boy, Henry."

I frowned. "Who's Henry?"

"Kyle's father.." Emily answered.
