dinner?”
“I kissed you.”
“On the cheek!”
“Yes. Elanor, I said that if I kissed you I would be thrown back, and I have someone that cannot be thrown back with me.”
“No. You have fallen in love? Already?”
“I am sorry, Elanor. And it wasn't recently that I fell in love with her, but she surprised me.”
“So it's bye bye Elanor? Hello...”
“I am not going to tell you, because it is no longer your business.”
“It is my business! I am your wife!”
“Not for long. I am divorcing you, as soon as I ask her if she will marry me when I do.”
“I hope your happy, Tyson.”
“I will be. I need you to do me a favor. I want you to marry my brother.”
“I owe you no favors.”
“Except the favor of not throwing you in prison or giving you away.”
“Fine.”
“Goodbye, Elanor. Release Mitchell, send him over to Chilles' to sign paperwork. Do be good and do not do anything stupid. I would like to see my brother, alive.” He walked away, leaving her to ponder.

“Emily. My sweet Emily. You never answered me.” They were outside standing on his balcony, the crisp night air blowing over them. The stars assembled, the moon so large and bright in the sky, it was as if it was meant just for them.
“Answered what?”
“Would you like to come in or go home? I am with you wherever you go.” Their faces close together, eyes locked.
“I would love to come in.” He grabbed her by the hand and took her off the stairwell to his bedroom.
“Pleasantly surprised?” He asked.
“It's decent.” She chuckled. He grabbed his favorite CD off the counter and placed it in the CD player. A soft piano came on. He held out his hand to her.
“Care to dance?” She grabbed his hand and he pulled her to him in a swift movement. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he the small of her back. They moved in graceful flower petal motions. Then as the song subsided, a slower, more peaceful song came on and he pulled her closer.
“Emily, you must tell me the answer to a question I have. Do you swear to?”
“What's the question?”
“Do you swear to answer me in a yes or a no?”
“Yes, fine, what is the question?”
“Would you marry me?”
“Tyson. Where is this coming from? You are married and I am married.”
“Emily, we are married to liars and cheats.”
“As if we are any better! We are cheating now!”
“After they wronged us! Is it wrong to be with someone truthful and someone you love?”
“No! But...”
“No buts. Yes or no. You swore.”
“I would. Yes. If I was no longer married and you weren't either.”
“Excellent. Then we will be married within the month. After our divorce papers go through the court, we will wait and then we will be married.”
“Tyson, what if he changes? What if he changes for me?”
“Emily, he cheated once. You cannot trust a man who has cheated before, and what is a marriage without trust?”
“Tyson, what about you, you are cheating on your wife right now.”
“That's different. She tried to get me killed, are you not telling me something?” They laughed. The song ended. He grabbed her chin and pulled her forward until their lips were softly touching.
“Would you like to go see how much bigger my bed is?” He teased.
“I would love to.”
He picked her up and gently set her down on his bed.

He awoke to a knock on the door.
“Emily.” He shook her. “Emily, wake up. I need you to hide, just cover your face.”
He got up, pulled on a pair of pants and walked to the door. He peeked out his eye hole.
“Elanor. What do you want?” He opened his door.
“Why are you still in bed? You should be up and fully dressed.” She peeked around him. “Do you have someone here? Did you bring that slutty replacement here? You should be ashamed.” She paused. “Who is she? I'd love to meet her!” She shoved past Tyson. “You stupid little girl! You should not have come here to take my husband from me!Did you think I wouldn't notice?” She directed toward the hiding Emily. Tyson grabbed her by the arm.
“Elanor, we are done. This is none of your business!”
“It is my business, Tyson! I am still married to you!” Tears were pouring down her face.
“Not for long. I am divorcing you.”
“No! She did this?!”
“She made it easier for me.”
“Tyson, we are still in love. We can get past this. You just have to tell her to get out. We will fix this.” He shook his head.
“I don't think you get it. Elanor we are done. We are past getting back together. Now get out of my room.”
“I didn't come here to...fight with you...over...anyway Mitchell had followers and placing him in prison angered them, they are fighting the defenses of our prison guards. And they delivered this letter:
Release Mitchell Carson or pay the consequences.
The true king shall be crowned again or face that which will harm you and your kin.
What are you going to do? Are you going to release the one who tried to kill you?”
“One moment, Elanor.” He walked over to the bed where Emily covered up in the blankets. “I have to go for a moment, I will be back. Stay, please.” He kissed her lips and then left with Elanor on his heels.
“Elanor,” He said as soon as he had found a place quiet and solitary. “We both know my brother is no harm to me. He was confused. He kept me safe. I planned on releasing him anyway. Bring Chilles immediately. I will be in my room, tell him to knock.” He walked swiftly. He reached his room and ran to Emily.
“I am releasing Mitchell. Sooner than planned. He has to keep up his end of the deal. I have to go make a speech, would you like to attend, future Mrs. Chide?”
“Why not, Mr. Chide?” Her face lightened, then darkened in almost the same breath. “Will my husband be there? Tyson, I still love him.”
“But you love me. I can have him away, if it pleases you. I would give up anything if you wanted me to. Do not be afraid to ask.”
“Fear is for the weak. I would like it if Chilles did not attend.”
“Then it shall be so. Where would you like to stand? The crowd, the chair next to the podium?”
“Anywhere close to you, but far enough away that no one suspects a thing.”
“Next to the podium it is. I'll just say that Chilles is my successor and you will be the new Queen, which is the truth.”
“Maybe we are both making a mistake. Maybe we should stop doing this.”
“Are you saying that you don't want to be with me? That you want to go back to your cheating husband who will continue to cheat after you choose him? Are you saying all of that?”
“No. Tyson I just wonder if I am the right thing for you right now.”
“You will always be the right thing. I am sending out your divorce papers, I will get Chilles' signature first.”
“Tyson, let him down easy.”
“Would I do it any other way? On another note Chilles will be here soon, I must ask you to leave. There is no reason for this to become physical, but if it does you should not be in the room.” She nodded, put on her clothes, and went through the back door. A half hour and Tyson heard a knock on the door.
“Chilles. Please, come in.”
“Elanor wasn't specific about what you wanted. I have released Mitchell, he stopped by and signed the papers. He couldn't figure out where Emily was. I took Vahvus over with me to Mira. Tyson I think you are making Emily forget about the life she has. Vahvus is growing older and older, he still cannot watch himself and even I cannot watch him all the time.”
“Chilles, before we get into that, I would like to say you are my successor being that Soturin is not old enough yet. I have a speech to make and I wish you not be there.”
“I believe your army should be at every speech.”
“My army should be, of course. Just not you, not this time.”
“Anything else?”
“I have a paper for you to sign.” He grabbed it off the desk and passed it over to him.
“What is this paper about?” He looked it over. “Divorce?” He grabbed the chair and sat down. “She is divorcing me. What is this? Some kind of conspiracy against happiness?”
“No. Me and Emily, we are going to be happy. Believe me, if I had thought this would be easy I would have set up a double divorce.”
“Double divorce?”
“Me and Emily will get married. I have to divorce Elanor.”
“Breaking hearts everywhere.” He stood, grabbed a pen, and signed his name. “Find love and keep it, the island needs someone to look up to.”
“They do not know about you. You have a chance to change.”
“I will change for Emily. I will get her back before you marry her.”
“I hope you don't. You cheated once, what keeps you from doing it again over and over. She knew before I told her, she bore it in silence, begging and willing you to change for her. You let her down. I will not stand for that!”
“You do not have to, I will let you sit.” Tyson broke his composure. He lunged and hit Chilles in the jaw. Chilles hit the ground and bounced up. Tyson jumped on to him and hit him continually.
“Tyson!” Mitchell had just arrived. He pulled Tyson off of Chilles. Tyson straightened his shirt and Chilles spat out a bloody liquid. “What is it with you two? I come over to Chilles' house and he starts yelling about you...” He pointed at Tyson. “...and his wife.” Tyson looked over at Mitchell.
“He was yelling about Emily?! What is your problem?! You ruin her life and now she moved on and you can't take it?!” Tyson was pushing past Mitchell to face Chilles once more, but didn't manage to break him.
“Tyson, what do you mean moved on?” Mitchell asked him. Tyson looked down and up through his eyelashes.
“I am moving on...Emily is moving on...we are moving on with eachother, but do not make this about me. He is just as much to blame!”
“Tyson!” Mitchell yelled.
“Do not give me that! I wasn't the one sneaking out every night and going to see Mira, I was the one holding her hand when I figured out she knew. Without me. He broke her heart into pieces, I fixed it. Vahvus can move into the castle with my sons and live happily. You can come visit him often.”
“Ty, what have you done? Emily divorces Chilles, you divorce Elanor, you don't think that looks suspicious? Here's the deal, wait...spend time with her, you love doing that, and say you fell in love with a commoner while helping her through her divorce to Chilles. You and Elanor have had marital problems and Emily and you fell madly in love.”
“How long do I have to wait?”
“Tyson, you made a mistake, I am here to fix it. Trust me when I say you are going to be married to Elanor longer then you are going to want to.”
“That doesn't make me feel confident.” Tyson walked over to the door and walked out looking behind him. The
