Therus sighed. "Eventually. She needs time." He took a long sip from his wine.
"That's what you always say..." Lerah, the youngest sister, mumbled under her breath.
Therus glared at her. The queen sighed, shaking her head. "I'm starting to wonder if she even exists."
"She does! But it's a lot, meeting the king and the queen. I've told you, she isn't a royal."
"Which I am not happy with," The king narrowed his eyes at him. "You should find a princess to wed."
Therus ignored him.
.
Kaelos sat and picked at his food. The voices of his family sounded muffled.
"Kalo, you're not eating."
He flipped over a piece of sliced mushroom.
"Kaelos." The queen said, more insistently this time.
"Huh- what?" He looked up at her, cheeks flushed.
"What's on your mind?" She asked gently. A lock of her long, silver hair fell out of her bun.
"...Nothing, really. I'm just not hungry." He lowered his gaze again, continuing to fiddle with his food.
"Eat. You're too skinny as is." His father rolled his eyes and bit off a chunk of boar meat.
Kaelos grumbled and took a tiny bite.
His mother frowned, but didn't say anything else.
--
"Do you need assistance with changing into your night clothes?" David, his butler, asked.
"No. You are free to retire for today." Kaelos untied his small ponytail and swept some of his shoulder length hair out of the way.
David seemed surprised. "Are you certain, your highness?"
"Yes. Please, just leave me alone."
"As you wish." He bowed and left.
Kaelos shut his door and locked it with a sigh.
The only time his family really talked to each other was during meals, and even then it wasn't pleasant. His sisters were mostly silent, Therus gave snarky remarks, his mother was worried like always, and his father was good at being a bone-head.
He sat by his window.
Therus was the crown prince, but he didn't act like it. Kaelos barely talked to him. Sometimes when he snuck out, he'd catch Therus at one of the peasant bars in town, wearing a disguise. Did his partner really exist? Judging from all the debauchery the man got up to, it was doubtful. Kaelos had walked in on him with a woman in his bed multiple times. He didn't bother visiting his room much anymore.
.
He tugged on some plain-looking clothing and cleaned up his face. He put on a cloak and a scarf to cover his face, went to his balcony and climbed down. The vines that grew up to his balcony had never failed him.
He didn't bother looking back at the palace while he made his way to the town.
If his parents found out he was sneaking out at night, surely they'd lock him up. 'It's too dangerous.' 'Silver blood is sought after.' 'You're weak.' 'A lot of people don't take kindly to shapeshifters.'
He shook his head. He could handle himself just fine. He wasn't a child anymore, he was 20 now. His sisters were 15 and 16. Yet his parents seemed to trust them more. Ridiculous...
His entire family was made up of shapeshifters. All of them, including himself, had silver or dark blue hair, or in between. And the blood running through their veins wasn't red, but rather silver. The public knew, as it was one of the main reasons they were so powerful, but of course there would be people against that. Calling the shapeshifters 'demons' or 'cursed.' Rebellions had started multiple times. They were struck down, of course.
Kaelos wondered if the townsfolk adored or feared the royal family. Probably both.
The Alure family had graced the town with both blessings and curses. Silver blood is a potent substance. It has many uses. Therus once pricked his finger on a rose thorn. When his blood flowed onto the plant, it grew bigger than any other plant in the gardens, with blossoms twice as beautiful and grand.
Sounds wonderful, right?
But not everything was wonderful like that. They say that ever since the royal family settled in this place, the people have been more miserable. The mountains have fewer crystals and jewels to give, the snow piles higher and higher. Crops are running out and people can't afford food. And creatures often come by, yearning to taste the silver blood and possibly snatch some townsfolks too. The town looked beautiful. But that of course did very little to soothe the people.
He wandered into the town, which was still bustling with life, despite the late hour. Partygoers and town drunks roamed the streets. Couples wandered into brothels. No doubt Therus had been to those places. Kaelos had never gone, though part of him was tempted to.
He wandered into one of the bars, which wasn't as chaotic as the others. He sat down at the counter.
.
"What'll it be?" The burly bartender asked with a huff.
"Just a Dirty Blonde." He sighed and dropped a few gold coins on the counter. The man examined them closely before putting them in his pocket.
Kaelos watched as some drunks downed drink after drink. He was impressed to say the least. How did they not get nauseous?
The bartender set a wooden tankard in front of him. A golden drink fizzed in it. One tankard was enough for him. He tugged down his scarf to raise the drink to his lips.
.
But he choked on it when someone burst through the doors with a loud 'bang'. He hacked and wheezed to get the somewhat spicy liquid out of his windpipe.
A man sitting next to him laughed. "Too spicy for ya?"
"What gives?" The bartender rumbled, crossing his arms. He watched the newcomer with a dubious look.
"My apologies. But I'm looking for someone."
Kaelos jerked in surprise. Therus?! What's he doing here?
"The prince!" A few people stared in unsettled awe.
So no disguise this time. How did he know he snuck out?
The young royal smacked his chest to stop the coughing. He shrank into himself, pulling the scarf up to his nose.
He listened to him asking around. Damn him. What was he supposed to do now?
Therus was steadily approaching his seat. Kaelos's eyes widened. His breathing got unsteady. He didn't want to know what would happen if Therus ratted him out.
He shut his eyes and grit his teeth. If he could just change the colour of his eyes before he got to him... Or alter his vocal cords. Anything to throw Therus off his trail.
He felt something change in his throat, but didn't know if it would be enough. And he couldn't check if his eyes looked different.
"Hey."
"..." Kaelos swallowed. "Yes?" A bit deeper than before.
"...You haven't seen the second eldest prince here, have you?"
"Nah. Never seen him." He didn't usually speak like the townsfolk did. He only hoped it sounded convincing.
"Well, that's too bad." Therus moved away from him and muttered under his breath. "Didn't think that wimp had the guts to sneak out." Therus sighed and leaned against the doorframe.
!!!
"Ehhh?" An old drunk looked up at him.
"He's a coward. Always hides away in his room. It's sad, really." The corner of his lip twitched into a smirk.
Kaelos gripped the tankard tighter.
"Is it really that bad?"
"Mhm. He was a bedwetter, you know."
Therus had to duck a tankard aimed at his head. It smashed against the wall behind him, scattering golden liquid everywhere.
"You filthy liar!" Kaelos stood up so abruptly that his stool fell over. "How dare you spread nonsense about me like that!" His teeth bared in a snarl.
Therus gave him an impossibly smug smirk.
"Found you."
---
Damn it. He had let his ego get the better of him.
And now he was stuck, receiving the biggest lecture from his parents, with his siblings watching.
"I can't believe you! Do you realize what this does to how people see us!? The prince, running around town at night and getting drunk! What is wrong with you?!" His father's voice boomed through the hall.
Kaelos didn't respond.
"I'm so disappointed in you. Why can't you be more like your siblings?" His mother crossed her arms.
"Look at you, soiling our reputation." Therus sneered.
Was it possible to have molten metal in your veins?
Because it sure felt that way.
"Me?" Kaelos shot to his feet. "Me?" He jabbed a finger at Therus, standing a few feet away. The man visibly flinched.
"I'm not the one going out every night and causing a ruckus at the bars. I'm not the one drinking so much that I can barely walk. And I'm certainly not the one turning maidens into women of the night."
Therus stared at him. Kaelos stared right back. He really thought he was going to keep it a secret forever?
The king gasped and stood up. "Therus, is this true?"
"N-no!"
"I remember their names, you know. He certainly wasn't quiet about it." Kaelos crossed his arms. "Maria. Beth. Lisa. Rosemary. And I seem to recall a Miss Winters as well."
With every name he spoke, Therus turned more pale.
The queen looked at her eldest son, horror in her gaze.
"You little rat- He's- he's lying, mother!" The tremor in his voice gave him away.
"I haven't spoken a single lie. Meanwhile you have apparently been spreading rumors about me, on your nightly rendezvous. Putting down the family name by calling me weak and pitiable. How is that making us look any better?" He knew this would come to bite him in the ass later. But he didn't care.
"Being unfaithful to your partner, too?!" His parents turned their anger towards Therus now.
"Or you don't have one! I should have you thrown in with the pigs!"
Using the opportunity, Kaelos slinked off. His ears hurt from the yelling. He felt a little bad, but Therus got what he deserved.
"Your highness, may I ask what's going on?" David approached him in the hall.
"...A family scandal, you could say." He sighed and swept into his room. "I don't want to stay here."
"Sir?" His butler gave him an awkward glance.
He ignored it.
--
For the following days, Therus was in the worst state he'd been. He barely slept, his eyes shone with a barely-restrained rage, and he didn't even bother making himself look decent. His parents put a spell on him which bound him to the palace, meaning he couldn't leave, and it also prevented any shapeshifting. Kaelos was left unscathed. Apparently they thought Therus deserved the punishment more so.
But that did mean that Kaelos had to keep a keen eye. As long as he was in the palace he was in possible danger. His older brother wasn't the forgiving type. Definitely not when it was his intention to screw him over.
One night, Therus attempted to corner him. Promising he'd give him the beating of his life, if not more.
Kaelos wasn't as adept with his shapeshifting yet, still being quite young, but somehow he managed to turn into a gecko and crawl into a crack of the bathroom wall. Therus hadn't anticipated that.
That was when he decided he'd leave.
"...Your highness?"
"What?"
Kaelos stuffed his clothes, a thick bag of gold and jewels and anything else he'd need into his suitcase. David looked nervous.
"Are you going on a trip?"
"No, I'm leaving. I won't be coming back."
His butler gasped in surprise. "But you're a prince-"
"So what? I won't get the crown anyway, my brother wants to kill me, my parents are disappointed in me. I can't live like this anymore, I don't want to stay here."
"T-then what do you plan to do?"
"Find something to do. Study. Get a job. Being a tailor always sounded nice."
"You can't be serious, sir..."
"I am." Kaelos turned to look at him and put a hand on his shoulder. He handed him a fairly big pouch of gold. "Go home to your family, David. I hereby release you of your duties. Permanently."
"What ever do you mean-"
"You've been a good servant to me, and I appreciate it. But I've got no use to you now."

19. “So… do we hug now, or…?” for Kaelos/Ia? I think it's incredibly cute to think of them being awkward around him cause they have a crush 🥺
awww yes that's super cute! <3 🥺
-----
"So… do we hug now, or…?"
Kaelos blinked and looked at Ia. They were a bit fidgety, he noted.
A couple moments passed as Kaelos seemed to consider what to do. Ia stood there, fiddling with their clothes.
"Oh, certainly!" He grinned. Before Ia could react, he sweeped them up into his arms and hugged them tight. They even lifted off the ground a bit.
They gasped. "Kae-!"
"What? too tight?" He looked a bit concerned and loosened his grip.
They chuckled, a wobbly smile on their face. "N-no, it's fine..."
-Adam wears eyeliner and would quite frankly, love to put eyeliner on you and make you look like a deity
-Charlotte, her husband and kids have a secret language only they knowÂ
-Olivia is a hoe for icing and if you’re lucky, you can catch her with a tub and a spoon
-Melanie has very expressive eyes but because they’re covered by her blindfold and hair you can’t see them.
-Kaelos would gladly spoil his s/o rotten, gifts, fancy clothing, expensive dates, nothing’s too much.
-Ask Melanie to style your hair and she’ll oblige, albeit with a lot of grumpy muttering and complaining. She doesn’t mind, not really, but she can’t show that y’know. You won’t regret it, she’s strangely good at it.
-Adam is secretly terrified of the sea. Not in shallow water, but the idea that it’s just so big terrifies him to the core. Imagine what could possibly be hiding below the thousands of metres of water. There’s so little known about what hides below.
