Some old wounds never truly heal and bleed again at the slightest word.

    - George R.R. Martin??

    Louie felt elated at the suggestion of his daughter, it seems his daughter read his mind upon requesting the so-called "family" picture of them. Dimitri, Fran?ois, and Alexie already knew about Dawn''s request and Winter had already answered them the night before.

    They just want to announce it so that they could see Louie''s reaction and they want to see the reaction of the rest of the royalties, although Yuan and Harry didn''t react that much, they knew that they were afraid of the consequences nor the outcome of the said photo opts.

    "Thanks for that, and if I may; I want to ask if I could have a private talk with you Viscount Francois, and Duke Dimitri? I have some requests regarding the dance…. I mean my dance with Luna; I have some request," said Louie. Dimitri and Francois look at each other and nods their head.

    "I think we have to be there also Mr. Louie Chen because it involves our Moon and we are so protective to her" Ryder suddenly butts in since he was already glaring daggers at Louie for too many requests that he wants to be granted.

    Marco and Xavier are also eyeing him and Jamil just chuckled, "You see Mr. Louie Chen, I hope you don''t mind…. We are all like brothers to our beloved Luna. We are just protecting our Moon and I hope you understand, your reputation is not that good to us for what you have done in the past. And even though you are correcting all of it, we are still not that convince" says Sheik Jamil as he breaks the tension between Ryder and Louie.

    Louie smiled and nods his head, "I understand, and even the Ladies of the Court could be there if they wanted to. I just want to make some requests to you all first before we will announce it so that we can all make the preparations. I also want to say sorry for the short notice" Louie told the whole group.

    "It''s okay, as long as you are being true to yourself. There are also some changes in the program for Duke Lawrence will be married to Aunt Lily tonight and I hope no one will spill it out to the great bosses. The Saunders twins will be in charge of it, and Harry we need you in preparing for the acceptance of your group to ours. We will make it official for you and Amber are already a couple," says Scarlet as she winks at Amber.

    "Then we will be having a meeting at the library, but Luna you are not allowed to attend the said meeting it will be a surprise for you. And you also have to make sure Aunt Lily will look gorgeous tonight, you and the Wu triplets will be the ones assigned to make her like a queen, bring Isabele with you. That task is a little bit easier for you too, and Isabele pleases just for a while let Yuan set free from your claws" Prince Alexei informed the two pregnant women.

    "Yeah, Yuan seemed drained from your sniffing gesture," Marco said since they could see Yuan starting to have eye bags. Isabele pouted her lips, but she can''t do anything, for it was her brother who orders it. "Don''t worry my love, it''s just for today, you can still sniff my neck tonight" Yuan tenderly whispered in Isabele''s ears.

    "You know what, your child will be your spitting image when Isabele gives birth next year. She always craves your scent and presence. That child will be your greatest prize possession Mr. Peaches" Audrey said as she winks at Isabele. "What!? I can''t help it. I just can''t help myself not to kiss, bite and sniff his body. I always miss him" Isabele retorted and pouts her lips, everyone laughs at her especially Luna and Francois.

    Luna and Francois look at each other and it seems they are talking to each other, suddenly Francois pulls his collar up, for he wants to hide Luna''s love bites that they both hide using a concealer. The said breakfast runs smoothly now as they all could talk to each other without any tensions, after breakfast they all went to their respective jobs.

    Louie, Ethan, and Kim prepared themselves for the request that they are going to ask especially Louie. He already took a mental note on the list of songs that he wanted to offer to Luna as the unexpressed words of his love towards Luna. The woman whom he can''t have into his life anymore. Yuan and Harry already sense that Louie is asking for their help towards the royalties and he is also asking for support from them.

    As the breakfast ends, the ones that are assigned to their respective works already went to it and the rest went to the library. As they all went inside the library and sat down at the round table, Dimitri ordered one of the guards to stay outside and not let anyone in.

    Louie is very nervous as he didn''t know how to start the conversation towards the people around him, he was nervous, especially at Ryder, who is starting to glare daggers at him, and if only looks could kill he was already dead by now. Francois coughs a little to get the attention of everyone, he could feel the nervousness of the three men who are facing him, Dimitri and Ryder.

    "So what are your demands, Louie Chen?" Dimitri asks him as he was staring at him as he was assessing his thoughts and actions. Louie took a deep breath and stared at Dimitri, "I would like to have a total of three dance chances with Luna, the songs that would be played will be my choice for it was my unspoken words to her. But our dance will have a gap since I know she can''t get tired because of her pregnancy if the dance will not be permitted one is enough but please let me sing for her. I know this request is way too much, but I am taking this opportunity now since I know when we go back to City A my chance of being with her is very small… a minuscule to be exact" conveys Louie to everyone present in the library.

    "Your request is too much for our Moon Louie Chen. I myself can''t allow the three dances, one is enough and you can sing with your hearts'' content. I can''t allow for Luna to dance with you for more than once" Xavier utters.

    "One dance and two songs, I think that will suffice for your unspoken words, Louie Chen. That''s all I think we could offer for you, Duke Lawrence may not like the idea of you dancing with his daughter and singing a song for her with those unspoken words of yours. Remember that Luna is already married to Viscount Francois and you can''t do anything to break them apart. You need to kill me first before you can do it," Marco affirms as he glared at Louie.

    "You have to bite the bullet first Louie Chen!!! Why are you asking for this much Louie Chen?" Ryder suddenly asks. Louie was startled by his questions, for he was beginning to be frustrated upon hearing the comments of the two knights in Luna''s life. Louie sighed again deeply and; look straight at Ryder''s eyes, "Because this will be my only and last opportunity to be with her. I want to treasure it in my mind, heart, and soul, I know that it sounds crazy, but I want to experience being with her and play an imaginary scene in my mind that we are doing it because we got married. No offense with Viscount Francois, I am not snatching Luna from you and I don''t intend to do that. I just want to experience being with her at very close range" Louie explained.

    Louie knew that this is an insane request, but still, he wants to shoot two birds with one stone. He wants to take his chance…. This last chance to be with his Luna, after this he needs to fix everything back at City A. He also wants to be the man for Luna and his children. Everyone went silent after hearing his words, Ethan and Kim were just weighing the reactions that their friend will get from Francois and Dimitri. While Yuan and Harry are just waiting for whatever consequences'' takes place because of the boldness of Louie''s request.

    "We all know that you''ve already missed the boat, Louie Chen, We may allow a dance of two and three songs and that''s it. My Queen may be tired after that and I don''t want her to be tired because of her pregnancy. Your dance with my Queen will take place after the couple''s dance that we the Knights will do and that was after the great bosses dance as a couple also and I hope you will not mind that at all" Francois informed everyone.

    "I know that all you wished for from the moment you got to know that Luna is alive and she gave birth to your children was that…. You should be the one in Francois''s place. But we all know you have messed up and f*c*ed up everything back then. Mr. Peaches here is our witness on everything ill intentions back then, and Harry, he doesn''t know anything about what kind of husband you are when you and our Moon are still together. You can''t blame each one of us if we are very furious in giving in your request, we are protecting Luna from your claws especially that she is pregnant right now. Francois''s decision will be noted and considered it done, but that will be all….no more, but it could lessen once Luna complained of feeling unwell," Dimitri''s voice and the decision is heard.
