Chapter One

"To rule a kingdom, you must not use an iron fist but a golden one."

– King Midae, ruler of Lyda

Prince Midae was going to his first party. He could hardly contain his excitement. He took his bath without complaint. He let the nursemaid dry him and brush his hair. The black strands practically glistened. Midae said goodnight to his father and kissed the painting of his mother like he did every night. His mother had died birthing him so he never met the woman, but his father talked about her constantly. He often thought about her, what would it have been like to have a mother. Not that he didn’t love his father.

Midae took a deep breath and held it. If he kept fiddling in bed, the nursemaid was sure to notice. He breathed out slowly and then peeked with one eye.

She’d finished cleaning the bathing room, and she put more logs on the fire. The flames sparked to life with the new addition. Goodnight, young prince.

Midae shut his eyes and tried to look asleep. He didn’t dare even breathe. Then the door clicked shut, and light footsteps retreated down the hall. Midae knew she also tucked her father in. That took a while for some reason. Maybe he was messier with his baths?

Midae just had to wait.

And it was torture!

He eased the covers down and sat erect. After a few moments he swung his legs over the side and retrieved his clothes from under the pillow. Tonight, he was going to a party. One of the boys that worked in the stable told him, or rather, invited him. They’d been talking for some time now, a whole week, and Midae was what father would call smitten. Willo, the stable boy, was just so handsome. Midae slipped on the best outfit he had, a tailor-made vest in dark blue and black trousers. He clipped the gold timepiece to his vest and tucked it into his pocket. He stuffed some gold coins in his pockets because he wanted to impress Willo by buying him whatever he wanted. Midae’s father always said that gold ruled. It conquered kingdoms and hearts. Well, Midae wanted Willo’s heart and … more.

He blushed as he shoved on shoes and snuck to the balcony. During the day he’d stolen a rope. Actually, Willo had given him a rope, but stealing it sounded more adventurous. He’d never been to a peasant party before. He longed for the thrill! He tied one end to the railing, and the long length uncoiled as it fell. All he had to do was climb over…

Oh, that was high. He was on the fourth level of the castle.

Pssst.

Midae glanced down. His heart skipped a beat at the sight.

Willo waited in the shadows. Coming? Guards will be patrolling soon, he whispered.

Yes. Midae grasped the rope. He could do this. He was going to rule a kingdom one day. This rope was nothing. Midae descended slowly, making his way down until his feet kissed the ground. His hands hurt from clenching so hard, and sweat beaded his forehead. Easy, he muttered and turned around with his perfect smile, but Willo wasn’t there. Willo? he whispered. Midae frowned. Maybe he heard a guard? He continued to their original meeting placed. Beyond the gardens was a small stream and a little white bridge. It led to the rest of the royal estate, which included the Grand Woods, a restricted area saved for the animals and forest deities.

The moon was full and glowed on the gardens, lending shadows to hide within. All the colors seemed brighter with the night as a background. Midae tried to hide his fear. Surely no wolves would come this close to the castle. He snorted. There had never even been a wolf howl in the kingdom before. The stories of deities were all peasant tales. Midae shook off the childish fear. Soon he would be a man.

He rushed behind a blooming tree when a guard marched past. The excitement of nearly being caught sent a thrill through his body, and for some reason he began to get an erection. He wasn’t even near Willo yet. Eh, his father said his body would react oddly now that he was fifteen.

The bridge was ahead!

Midae glanced around before stepping upon the white stone. The wind howled and the night bugs twittered away, but what caught his attention was that the bridge was empty. Willo? The handsome boy should have beaten him here. Willo? He spoke a little louder.

Shhh. The sound came from the shadow on the other side. Sure enough, Willo eased into the moonlight, his hair tussled and a giant smile on his face. You came.

Of course. Midae crossed the bridge.

Are you ready for the party?

Beyond ready. We should have met in the front. It’s closer to town.

The party’s not in town, Willo said.

It’s not? Midae shivered when Willo grabbed his hand. Their palms touched and fingers twined.

I’m so excited to go with you. Willo smiled again, and … he stepped closer.

Me too! That was a bit loud. Midae blushed. I couldn’t wait to see you.

Willo leaned closer. And I couldn’t wait to see you.

Really? Midae felt a rush of sensation. He leaned forward, too. The only thing that could make this moment perfect was their first kiss. His first kiss. Midae’s breath was shaky as he inhaled, and then, bravely, boldly, he placed his lips on Willo’s.

A kiss!

Midae closed his eye as tightly as he could, savoring every detail. How soft Willo’s lips were. The subtle squeeze of his hand. The way their bodies almost touched. Then Willo opened wider, and their mouths touched, again and again. Midae leaned into him, body heat making him shiver with need.

Easy. Willo pulled away. We’ll get caught.

Right, there were still guards around. He’d forgotten about them in his surge of lust.

Follow me. Willo started walking into the woods.

Midae took one last glance at his castle, then followed the handsome boy he’d just kissed. What type of music will be at the party? he asked as they walked through the dark woods. The lights and safety of the castle faded. Were they to use the moonlight to
