Phantom servant
Hayden
*takes stack of books off his desk *
Arthur
*takes a book from the stack and continues working *
Hayden
*smiles and puts the books on the shelf *
Hayden
*drops last book and runs over to a corner *
Arthur
*looks up from work * come in
guard: -walks in and bows- I apologize for bothering you but your father is here to see you
Arthur
*gets up * what is he doing here
Arthur
*sighs then looks at Hayden * I will be out soon
guard: he did tell me to say he wants to see your lover
Arthur
just leave already *glares *
guard: -bows and closes the door-
Arthur
*sits back in chair and rubs head *
Arthur
calm down i won't drag you with me
Hayden
b-but he said to take me with you
Arthur
he's not the king so he can't command me to do anything
Hayden
*takes a deep breath and goes over *
Arthur
*rubs bridge of nose *
Hayden
it's easy to tell you don't want to go see him
Arthur
he doesn't show up when I'm injured
Arthur
but he shows up when he finds out I have a lover
Arthur
*pats his back then gets up *
Arthur
I will be back soon
Hayden
*let's go then grabs his arm *
Hayden
I uh *looks away and tightens grip *
Arthur
*smiles * you've been brave enough with watching over and protecting me while I was injured
Arthur
you don't have to push yourself anymore than you already have
Hayden
*stares and let's go *
Arthur
I will be back *kisses his head and leaves *
Hayden
*watches then looks around *
Arthur
*walks into throne room *
Father
what took you so long
Arthur
*looks * I had to finish some work
Father
yeah right *crosses arms *
Arthur
*looks at mother then at father * what do you want
Father
that is not how you talk to your father!
Arthur
I don't have a father!
Arthur
you're just someone who avoids me until you have something to complain about
Arthur
not if this is about my lover you can leave
Arthur
I'm not changing my mind on him
Arthur
and I'm not having a stupid incubine
Father
*glares * and where is this lover of yours
Arthur
! *turns head quickly *
Hayden
*walks over while shaking *
Arthur
Hayden what are you doing here
Arthur
I thought I said not to push yourself
Hayden
I'm not gonna stand by and let you get scolded just because you picked me.
Father
how can you say that when you can barely stand still with all that shaking
Hayden
so what if I'm shaking!
Hayden
atleast I love my king!
Hayden
Arthur's mother was forced to marry you!
Hayden
*grabs Arthur's arm * he didn't force me to love him!
Father
you little brat *grits teeth *
Father
how dare you talk to the late king that way!
Hayden
*starts shaking more and tightens grip on Arthur's arm *
Arthur
*looks at father and opens mouth *
