Who made me into the crown prince?![Lucas x Male!reader] Discontinued

III

Subsequently, Alpheus removed himself from our sight, M/n's sweet demeanor returned and he began to smother me with his affection; Asking how I slept, how my day was so far, and if I ate anything as of yet.
"Ah, not yet. Would you like to eat with me?"

"Of course!"I picked him up from the floor and held him as Julian instructed many times when I voiced my concern when he was born three years ago. I'm quite happy that he chased Roger away from the palace.

As I walked to M/n's favorite room to have lunch, he casually swung his legs a bit and hummed happily in my arms.
Helios...
Though I loved that woman...There was something massively different about Helios, he never cared about what others thought of him, he was always singing and dancing, always full of happiness. Even more so when he became pregnant. But when M/n was born, he was quite sick... Helios gave his life to make him better.

Without realizing, I gave M/n a kiss on the head, and only then was when I snapped out of my train of thought.
"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Can we go to the garden after we eat?"I've never said no to him as far as I can remember, this child asks for little to nothing yet I still give him everything, even when he doesn't ask.
"Of course."

Zenith and I watched as he moves back and forth around the garden.
"He's just like Helios."

"He really is... Hey, I never understood the difference between Regis and Siodonna. They have similar customs, right?"

"Hmm, the language is different and their views on gender equality. In Siodonna dancing is only for the women and they are only allowed to wear certain clothes. While in Regis, children are taught traditional dances and songs, regardless of gender. It's the same with their clothes, it's because of the rarity of some males being able to bare children. It gives them more freedom to express themselves."Zenith nods a few times as if understanding what I just said, let's hope he does.
"Daddy look!"My heard snaps over to the voice of my sun just to have cherry blossom blown towards me, when they pass, my eyes widened.

The petals continue to flow past my line of sight as I look at the happy expression on M/n's face.
I don't remember the wind blowing...Did he just...?
"M/n did you blow the petals?"

"Yeah! I'm going to do it again!"He raises his left hand up, pulling the petals towards his palm then aims to where Zenith and I stood. The petals scattered around us like a gentle tornado and I couldn't help but look on in awe.
"He's only three..."

"Your majesty, this means that M/n is going to be a prodigy in magic! And he's already expressed a want to learn how to use a spear as well. I could be his teacher if you wish it."I give Zenith a nod but tell him to hold off until his fourth birthday which was in two months from now. I continued to watch M/n make flower crowns and it seems that he was still humming that song from before.

❀❀❀

M/n tired himself out and fell asleep in the flower bed in such a familiar way.
"It's strange, he looks just like Helios and acts like him too but he also acts like you when he doesn't like nor have an interest in something or someone."

"You think so..."

"Oh, I know so. Let's get him in bed before Julian has a small fit since it is the prince's nap time."I allow Zenith to take M/n to his room and I head to my own.
"M/n is something else and yet... He's more of you than he is of me..."I reached in the drawer next to my bed and found my favorite memory stone then activated it.

Just seeing him, made my heart feel light. M/n falls asleep in the same position, it made me love that child even more.
