The GoldenLodgePalace. MAIHA MONARCHY.

"How could you do something so preposterous?!" The King boomed rising from his throne. The maidservants shivered in fear. The King circled his son. "Do you know the consequences of your actions?! You raped a girl in a drugged state?"

The Prince Nautica of Maiha stood unshaken. He cleared his throat.

"Father, I am ready to take responsibility for my actions. I am aware I have erred exceedingly and I have brought shame upon myself. I have tarnished my reputation and..." He was cut short by the King.

"No my son,do not blame yourself you were drugged on purpose and now we have the commoner who played such a foolish act in you." The King paused. "Now see why I hate it when you go to America, no offense. I told you not to go but you never listen to me, now see the results..."

Prince Kean Allan-Kirk Duke McNell, shrugged. He loved it when his Dad was about to give him a "Back-in-my-days" lecture. Note the sarcasm.

"You know son back in my days..."

"Oh buoy..." The doors barged open.

"Hector, I have told you not to walk into my..." The King was cut short.

"Your Majesty, my Prince...I greet you all. There is an emergency...it's all over the world." Hector recited panting heavily.

"What happened, Hector?" Allan asked. "Calm down and tell us."

Hector passed the tabloid to Allan-Kirk,and Allan begin to read but the King snatched it from him.

"Nonsense!!!" The King threw the tabloid to Hector. And begun pacing up and down. Allan took and read. His eyes widened in shock.

"How can that baby possibly be mine?!" Allan yelled.

"The rumor has spread like the western winds, your Majesty. I'm afraid...I did check it up..." Hector stammered.

"What is your analysis?" The King asked impatiently.

"Your Highness, the baby boy is being called the Golden Heir's Cub. The baby is exactly seven months and his mom according to hospital records bore him on her eighth and half month. And it's been exactly... fifteen and half months since you arrived from America. The baby has Golden Flamy eyes that is a gift from the sun god to The Duke men... And the flying eagle birthmark on his left...b..bumbum...mmm," Hector stifled a laughter. " I'm afraid it is true. He is really your son."

Hector's conclusion left both royals speechless. The sound of an iPhone's ringtone killed the silence. Hector took Allan's phone from the handmaid and gave it to Allan.

"Hello Allan, it's me your older sister, Amyra. Believe it! Gash I'm freaking out. I'm an aunty at the age of 26 how cool is that?!!" Amyra just rattled like the overburdening chatterbox she is.

Amyra denounced her throne and stepped down from royalty when she turned 21. Saying she wanted to be a pediatrician in Los Angeles. And so is she. Everyone was displeased with her but no one dared to stop Amyra.

"Amyra?!" Allan scolded. "I'm scared to death. I have a son and the whole world got to know about it even before I did...haaa..." Allan exhaled devastatingly. "This is crazy. I can't even think."

"So now what is the plan?" Amyra asked.

Allan stared at his Dad who had this gleam of hope in his eyes and Hector nodded his head rapidly.

"Amyra, we're coming to America."
