" I wasn't happy either with the idea, but my worry was more so for my sister. She didn't take to sparring like I did, she was more peaceful. Though peace doesn't equal weakness, she's also very naive." Yesirmire’s voice was strong, she seemed like a wonderful girl. But every time she spoke, he couldn’t help but compare her to Luna. The Prince had his heart set on that girl, the woman waiting for him back at home.. The woman he couldn’t keep from his thoughts longer than two seconds. "Our father also brought us here, our mother was killed by his Alpha after we were born. She was seen as a distraction from the war. So our father did what he thought best and killed his Alpha, and then took us away to find somewhere to call home. We ended up here not too long after, and he reconnected with his brother Damian, only then learning he was an uncle to a Queen." Paeeon nodded along, listening to her story. Her tales weren’t far off from his own, with terrible Alphas and Uncles and Killings and that such. She kept herself in such a stance where she looked like she was about to get attacked any second. How strange. The mocha shaded brute gave her a small smile, understanding what she was telling him. "If I may speak out of turn, why do you loathe Phobus? He's paired with my sister, and I only wish for her safety in all of this. I trust Demius, but I do not trust this Phobus by the way you're making him sound . . . What has he done?" shocked by the sudden change of conversation, he quickly snapped his head towards her. What hadn’t Phobus done? Murder.. assault.. everything. That man was bad news. But he feared that if he were to tell Yesimire of these things, she would tell Lucaya, who would tell Kratos, who would tell Themis.. and he didn’t know what could happen. But he didn’t want to protect a known killer. "If I am being honest, Demius captured my heart. That makes me feel sick to say, as I've never had any romantic feelings. I'm very sorry if this is a waste of your time, but I must insist you tell me about Phobus so I might catch him in time before he hurts my sister - And starts a war I fear I'd lose Demius to as well." The Prince let out a soft sigh of relief. Deimus had caught her heart before he had. That meant he could still be with Luna. The man hadn’t known would could have happened if he had.. but had fallen for Luna. He didn’t want to break the Princess of Hawthornes heart and start a war.

The Prince gave her a gentle smile once again, nodding his head. ”To be fair, Princess, another has caught my heart as well. But you have not wasted my time. I don’t want you feeling guilty for anything that has transpired here. It was eye-opening, but I’d appreciate if we could still be friends. I’m assuming Helius is capturing your sisters heart right now, which will make us family eventually. After all, royal weddings will follow.” he chuckled. His smile darkened into a frown once he remembered what she had said about Phobus. Stopping in his tracks, letting the rain wash down on his fur, he gazed intently at the girl. ”Phobus is bad news. Deimus, you’ve chosen well meeting with him. While he’s more of an underling to his brother, I’m sure you’ve captured his heart as well. Do good, keep him away from Phobus. Avoid that corruption, that disaster. Change him for the better.” he murmured. ”Keep your sister safe. I’ll tell my brother the same. Wisteria has no idea what beast lies within Phobus. A murderer. A killer. A Monster.” his voice was low, almost like a growl. “How such a beast could spawn from our peaceful Aunt is beyond me. Along with the Crimes he’s committed, I’ve heard he’s a womanizer. He will stop at nothing to get a girl under him. I don’t know if he’s trying to just feed his own selfish needs, or make heirs to follow him into darkness, but he’s no good. I would appreciate staying out of a war if we can. Our father and us would race to help if needle. I fear that being in the middle of this might cause issues. Kratos supports his sister. Helius and I must follow our fathers orders. But if Themis understands, if she truly sees how monstrous one of her sons is, she might outlaw him. Deimus will need you during that time. Phobus is a criminal.” He growled out, tail raising slightly. Not in anger at Yesimire of course, but in protectiveness.

”Just be careful if you plan to confront him. Bring someone with. I’ll volunteer to go if needbe, only if I can assure we’ll all make it out alive. I need to stay alive, not just for myself or my family again, but for the girl I’ve fallen for. If we bring a big enough group.. we can assure that safety.” he explained, glancing away, far off towards the main clearing where his Luna was. ”But if Wisteria is to become my family, and you as well with my Cousin, I will want to protect it the best I can.”
