The Ghosts had been tracking the federation for months now. And they’d found the perfect place to watch them from. Your palace.

You’re the king of a small settlement and they effectively kidnapped you in your own home. They knew you wouldn’t want them there so took it by force. Your guards were either killed or tied up in the cells while you were confined to your room.

You were not happy about it and since you weren’t particularly old, had a bit of a tantrum. Hesh got put on guard duty and got told to keep you quiet. Hesh took that literally.

To the point Merrick checked on you and found you fast asleep. Hesh had seduced you into bed with him before giving you sleeping pills. He’d made you fall for him so you’d willingly take the pills.

Elias was extremely unhappy while the others found it extremely amusing.

“I told you to keep him quiet! You slept with the fucking king?!” Elias seethed while you napped.

“You didn’t specify how.” Hesh shrugged and grinned as you started to wake up.
