"I better be getting Chocolate cake." Aelin warned to Lorcan.

"Don't worry, you will be." Lorcan grumbled. He had just returned from Emrys giving him an earful about how chocolate cake is not a dinner item, the demi-fae reluctantly said yes after Lorcan explained to him that her majesty may or may not sign a royal decree if she did not get her chocolate cake. Emrys gave him a look that suggested he might very well need to check for poison in his next meal, before dismissing him.

"I quite like this dinner by committee." Lyssandra mused cutting the tension between them.

"What shall we do next?"

Fenrys smirked. "Desert by committee."

"Absolutely not." Lorcan snarled. This was ridiculous. If anyone said yes-

"I think that is a great idea Fenrys." Aelin said, amusement filling her eyes.

"I'm thinking chocolate cake would be a great second." Aedion declared. Murmurs of agreement followed the claim.

"It's decided. Lorcan darling, can you go please inform Emrys that her majesty and her court would like chocolate cake for dessert, as well?" Rowan asked. Even Rowan had an amused look on his face. The bastard. It was more absurd than dinner by committee.

He growled. "I am not your messenger."

"Lorcan, as one of my blood sworn warriors, I command you to go tell Emrys that we want chocolate cake for dinner and dessert." Aelin smirked. "Right now." she added.

Lorcan snarled, baring his teeth, but left the room anyway.

There wasn't anything that he would be missing out on, except for some royal court bullshit and more rutting diner by committee.

Which was something that Lorcan was not inclined to do.
