Part of me wants to say no, but part of me wants to say yes ![:evil:](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/80H6KJYCpAJueYr1dHx1.gif) ]] It felt like time was standing still to Ari. He gently pulled away, running a hand through Becca's long hair and twisting the end lightly around his finger. He gazed at her tenderly, smiling, before hugging her close. "This is all so new to me..." he said softly, his voice just above a whisper. "You're the only one who can see me like this."

RIP >:} ]]
Ari was about to continue speaking but instead was shaken from their fantasy. "Who are you? What do you think you're doing?!" he demanded, swatting at the guard who grabbed at Becca's leg. Of all the times for him to leave his sword behind!

Ari glared at the guards. "I should've known my brother was behind this," he growled. He moved to go after the guards, but being unarmed that wasn't a very good idea. "I'm going to fix this!" he called to Becca, and marched back in the direction of the castle.

Sounds good xD]] Oh wait! What if the two brothers duel when Ari returns, and the winner gets the kingdom? > ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/Zk1a5XUEHw6Q8FG1L5Qy.gif) ]] "I will," Ari said, glancing back at her over his shoulder. He marched up the hill to the castle, his expression only worsening once its looming walls came into view. Meanwhile, Aaron and Lisa are still partying xD]]

YES OF COURSE! xD]] Alrighty, goodnight! ^^]]
Ari didn't care that it was the middle of the knight. He marched straight into the castle, ignoring the questioning gazes of the guards out front. It wasn't often that he wandered the inside of the castle, but he remembered enough of its layout from his childhood and made a beeline for his brother's room. "Atri! Open up!" he called, banging on the door.

"In the throne room? This late at night?" Ari muttered, but he stormed off before giving any chance for a response. He stopped before the large doors to the throne room for a moment to take a deep breath, mentally preparing himself before pushing the doors open.

Alrighty~]]
The king's eyes fell on Ari narrowed in disappointment. He kept silent, however, waiting to hear what his son had to say.
Ari ignored the strained greeting from his mother and came to a halt before the row of thrones. "I believe you know why I am here, judging by the lovely looks on everyone's faces," he growled.

Sorry I poofed! A game I just bought finally finished downloading and I got a bit carried away xP]]
The king stared down at Ari, fingers tapping slowly on the armrest of the throne. "Your actions over the course of this day have shown that this... peasant woman is someone of great importance to you, despite your claims otherwise... do you deny this?" he questioned.
Ari took another deep breath, mustering all his courage to hold his father's strong gaze. "No, I'm done denying," he replied.

"Silence, Atri," the king spoke, glancing to the older son. Looking back to Ari then, he continued speaking. "Do you have any further words to share with us?"
"Plenty, but I know they'll just fall on deaf ears," Ari retorted.
"Oh? Please, enlighten us."
Ari could feel his father's anger rising and hesitated, but soon answered. "What does it matter if she's a peasant? Sure I may be your son but if you haven't noticed, my position right now is a knight... not your son, the second prince."

The king nodded. "Yes. You may be a knight, but you are still our son and so you must follow the rules of this family. Anything else before you receive your punishment?"
"Nothing. Do tell," Ari replied.
"Second Crown Prince Ari, you are hereby sentenced to indefinite exile for breaking the law of this kingdom. You will be allowed to take your things with you, and then the guards will escort you out of the kingdom," the king announced.
Watch it be drunk Aaron who gets tasked with escorting Ari xD]]

IMMA DO IT THEN xD]]
"Exile? I thought I'd be sent to the dungeons for sure," Ari replied.
The king clearly did not appreciate Ari's joke, and pointed straight to the door. "Collect your things before I change my mind," he ordered.
"Yes, your kingliness," Ari replied, giving an insincere bow before exiting the throne room.

The king nodded slowly. "Yes. You would have been even if your brother behaved, you are the eldest after all," he answered.
Ari headed to his quarters, trying to think of the things he would need to take with him. He only wanted to take the bare minimum, who knew how far they were going to send him off and he didn't want to be loaded down with a million unnecessary items. Even amidst this situation, he couldn't help but worry about Becca, or wonder if Aaron and Lisa had returned yet... or if they were even still alive.

The king was silent for a moment, having a few doubts about Aaron. "Yes, I suppose that would be best," he agreed finally. "Ari can explain the duties of knight captain while they go."

"Yes, as king you would have that power," the king replied.
