“I’m terrified about what happens next. And you and your family could always come live in the palace grounds.”, she offered.

"Thanks for the offer, but my parents aren't the kind of people that accept 'charity'." Cade made finger quotes with the last word.

“Well, then you can come.” She shrugged. “If you want.”

He laughed a little. "Maybe just to visit. No offense to you, but you need more guy friends."

“Well, considering the fact that the Queen are any guy that came near me, I think O have a valid excuse.” She smiled dryly, not offended in the slightest.

"Now that's overprotective." Cade joked, sitting up fully and sitting criss-cross.

“That’s one word for it.”, she grinned.

"Did she just hate guys or what?"

Scarlet shrugged. “She wanted only the ‘perfect ruler-type’ for me, which consisted of several disgusting men thirty years older than me.” She ran a hand through her hair, changing the subject. “I hate the colour red.”

"I can understand why." Cade nodded to her. "I hate the color green 'cause I see it too much by my house."

“You hate green? I love it.”

"Well I like the color red." He said smugly. "That's a lie. I hate it. My favorite color is…actually, I'm not telling."

“Why? Big secret?”

"Yeah. You've learned enough about me for one day."

(Awww, little Cady likes lavender. Adorable.

I’m sorry. >.>)

Harper stared at the flier. "QUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She shouted loudly. "You really need to see this!"

She smirked. “Whatever you say, Locky.”

Cade rolled his eyes at her, lying back down on the ground and spreading his arms and legs out.

Crickets chirped, the night air cool on her skin. “What’s your family like?”

"My family? They're a hoot." Cade chuckled. "Well I live with my parents and three younger siblings: my brother and twin sisters. My brother's name is Ryan and my sisters are Ella and Ivy. Ryan is pretty shy, and also kind of dumb. Ella is extremely talkative and sassy, and Ivy is a pain but she's really smart." He looked over at the princess. "What about you? Do you have any family other than the Queen?"

Chelsea fell asleep, head on the couch. Her bleeding palms staining the couch. Today was eventful, crying drains energy. How vulnerable. How peaceful. How quiet.

She fell silent for a moment. “I— I don’t know who my dad is, only Alice knew that. I—“ She choked. “I had a baby brother, with an unknown father, but Alice— she ate him. Served him for dinner.” There were tears in her eyes.

"Oh…" Stupid [f word]. You knew that she didn't have anyone else. Cade stood up and walked over to her, leaning against the wall. "Sorry for asking."
