King Earle "Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The fog faded out of existence, and all that was left was a king giving Aldrich a bemused look. He couldn't understand it, this love for one's child. In his opinion, one's self was the most important, and if they didn't like something then it shouldn't have to exist in the first place. He had followed this code his long life, and he did fine. He was immortal now with devastating powers! And what was Aldrich? An aging man with a constant migraine. But he wouldn't argue. There was no point. " Fine. Should I come back when you get an idea?" Earle asked. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aldrich Brandt " No no, just stay. Why don't you get yourself something to drink while I fix myself up? That way, we can just start on today's lesson." He started towards the bedroom, not waiting for Earle reply. Instead, he kept walking. He had to get changed, shower maybe. Just get out of this mindset.

King Earle"Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Earle watched Aldrich leave without listening to any other suggestion, not like the king even had one. Seeing as though he didn't have much of a choice, he looked over in the direction he remembered the kitchen being and moved in its direction. First the kitchen, then the wine cellar. Earle looked at his options, eventually choosing the closest one to him. He wasn't that thirsty. If anything he was excited. Excited to learn the key to winning the love of his life back. Fate said so itself that they were meant to be together, and he'd make sure Heinrich saw that too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aldrich BrandtA fast, cold shower shook the man to his senses, and the handsome father walked back out to greet his guest, wearing a suit not unlike his one from the other day. " Sorry about that," he apologized, threading a hand through his thick, damp hair.

King Earle"Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━" For what? Cleaning up?" Earle mused as he handed the man a glass of wine. " Please. Don't apologize for something unnecessary. If you need more time to rest then go ahead. I'm not in any rush." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aldrich Brandt" I just need a minute." Taking the wine with a thankful smile, Aldrich sat on the armchair and leaned back, sipping his wine and breathing deeply. " This day keeps getting worse," he mumbled, trying not to think about the call he'd have to make later.

Aldrich Brandt" My ex-wife is coming to visit," he grunted, wincing. " Something about seeing her son and her daughter, although I didn't know her ba-tard was here. At any rate, she loves to visit me and rub in my face that she's in a devoted relationship with her new, younger husband and I'm old, alone, and done for."

King Earle"Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━" Your ex-wife must be one hell of a beast if she can reduce you to that." Earle said as he scratched his chin, trying to put an image to the description. " You're rich and have an abundance of lovers. Just bring your prettiest one over and show off your wealth to her." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aldrich Brandt" That's not how it works with my ex-wife. She is... Well, she's one of the few people in this world that can see right through me." He shook his head, closing his eyes as his migraine grew to collect in the front of his head. " Besides, a good amount of my lovers are displeased with me at the moment, Jean-Luc, my prettiest, especially. They think I spend too much time doting on my son."

Aldrich Brandt" Id rather not have her new husband come here to fetch her, warts and all." He declined, waving a hand dismissively. " No, I should be a man and let her make me feel like a lonely, bitter old man."

King Earle"Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━" Why?" Earle asked. " What about letting a woman make you feel bad about yourself is manly? Because she's a woman? The way I see it, someone's attacking you, and when someone attacks you do more than just stand there and take it. I suggest you find someone to drape around your arm and wave in front of your ex-wife's face. I'll threaten your chef, if I have to." He paused suddenly and paced around to let a thought clear itself up in his mind. " Maybe that can be what I do to pay back your debt." he mumbled then moved until he was in front of the host. " I'll be your partner for the day." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aldrich BrandtAldrich laughed and stood, running his fingers through his thick hair before letting his hand fall beside his leg. " Are you serious? What makes you think that we can be a convincing couple in front of my ex-wife? You aren't even attracted to me!" Incredulous, the man grabbed his glass of wine and downed it, then started for the kitchen for a refill.

King Earle"Long live the king."━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Before Aldrich could get far a hand reached out and firmly grabbed his wrist. With a strong tug Aldrich was pulled back, and right into the king's arms. " You like underestimating me, don't you?" sighed Earle as his proud, blue eyes bore into Aldrich's with such intensity. " I'm a very good actor, Aldrich. Don't you think so?" he asked quietly while brushing his fingers through the host's brown hair, stopping to grab the back of the head and tilt it at a better angle for him. It was easy to see how strong he was this close up not only physically but magically. There were muscles hidden behind those clothes, and touching them alone sent a shiver down the spine from the magic stored in them. His face was proud and handsome, although in this instance it was protective and grateful of the person it faced. His hands, however powerful they looked, seemed to hold Aldrich with gentleness, as if he was afraid of breaking him if he as much as squeezed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
