Callum 'Cal' Zenos

*The King had barely stood together before the doors to the ballroom were slammed open. The eyes of everyone widened as the boy, who looked like the king when he was a prince, stepped forward.* "So, this is where my family lies... And to think I grew up with a maid as my mother..." *His eyes narrowed as he spoke, eyes stuck on the Queen and guard.* "The 1st born son of the king - " *there's a collective gasp from the nobles* " - was given to a maid so that the child of an affair could rule..."

*confused*so I'm not the heir you add an affair with a guard mother

*The Queen looked at the boy with a shocked expression. She had expected him to be angry, but this was beyond her expectations. Her eyes darted between the boy and her husband, who looked equally surprised.* "You are the son of the King and Queen, but..." *Her voice faltered as she spoke.*

*I flinch, looking at him in confusion* p-pardon..??

*The Queen is stunned, the king looks away, and the nobles are all staring. The boy, Callum, just stares at them. He has a glare that is both intimidating and cold. The queen looks back at the boy.* "Callum..." *she says, her voice trembling.*

*Jaelene's eyes widen in shock*

*His eyes shift to her, his expression softening, a mix of emotions in his eyes, he couldn't believe he was actually here.*

*Cal's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his brother. He had been thinking about this for a while, but he had never been able to say it before. He took a deep breath, his voice soft and gentle as he spoke.* "Can I... can I kiss you?"

.. ? on the cheek?

*Cal's heart raced as he heard his brother's words. He had been hoping for more than just a kiss on the cheek. He wanted to show his brother how much he loved him. He took another deep breath, his voice shaky as he spoke.* "No... on the lips."

*He nods, his heart pounding in his chest. He knows that what you're saying makes sense, but he can't help but feel a sense of sadness. He wanted to be close to you, to have a real relationship with you. But it seems like that can't happen. He looks at you, his eyes filled with emotion.*

*The King looks at him for a long moment, then he nods slowly. He looks at the Queen, who is standing there, watching the two of them. She nods as well. The King turns back to Callum.* "It will be done. You will be recognized as my son, and you will be the heir to the throne."

*Callum's eyes light up with a mixture of relief and happiness. He looks at you, and his expression softens even more. He smiles and nods.* "Thank you. I appreciate it. But there's one more thing..."

*The King and Queen look at him curiously, waiting for him to finish. Callum takes a deep breath, then he speaks.* "I want to be married to Georgia. I want to be her husband, and I want to be the king of this kingdom."
