”How would this put you in danger?” Evan asked, raising a brow. ”If anything I would be doing this to protect all of you and stop a war from happening.”

"have you not seen my back or my arms your going to get us killed" she said

”Of course I saw them. I was the one just patching you up.” Evan pointed out. ”Betty, I have to deal with them one way or another. Not only did a member of my council attack you but when I announced the treaty through marriage, not one of them was against it.”

"you don't get it do you the whole council is Alec's family im sorry but you can't do anything Evan do you understand me?" She growled

Lysander stiffened at Betty's explanation, a strange coldness settling in his stomach despite his hands feeling a little warmer.

”What if I Godfather it?” Evan offered. ”I have Vampiric Knights who can deal with them for me and I can start a new council. No one else has Knights and not every vampire is related to that jerk.”

She sighed " do you care about me if you love or ever care about me you'll drop it" she said

Evan groaned. ”Of course I do but because I’m King, I can’t just drop it.” he explained. ”It’s not that simple. At the very least, I’d still have to kick Alex off the council. Betty… This is a responsibility I have to do. I need people who I can trust in those positions and I can't trust him.”

She sighed " I'm dead" she said she kissed lysander before starting to walk outside

Lysander kissed her in return and stood with her.

”Betty. You should know that just because I’m in a position of authority doesn't mean I can do whatever I want.” Evan explained. ”That’s why I have to do this. If you change your mind about how we keep the treaty, I’ll still do what I can to protect you.” he promised.

"Evan they have higher authority over you I have a family I have to protect think about this who do you love Evan think about the" she said

Evan shook his head. ”It’s politics, Betty. The King and the council balance each other out. I’m not their figure-headed puppet and I don't manipulate them.” he explained before letting out a sigh, placing a hand over his slowly beating heart. ”You, more than anyone else, know how I feel…”

"if I die I'm not coming back" she said

”What do you want me to do, Betty?” Evan asked a little exasperated. ”Let them walk all over me? Let every vampire currently in existence lose all respect for me as a King?”

She looked at Lysander "if you were king would you put your people or wife first (" she asked

Lysander froze at being put on the spot like that as he tried to get the response out of his throat.

”Bets, that's different.” Henry butted in. ”Ly is a completely devoted husband; of course he’s going to put you first every time. Where Evan here, has been trained to be a king before he was even turned. In his own way, Evan is trying to do both.”

She nodded " I didn't ask you now did I Henry… " She backed out of the room "you can all do whatever the hell you want I don't care I love you " she turned to Evan " I really do love you" she said before unlocking the door and walking out

Lysander gave Henry a brief look before following Betty out of the room. ”He was right about one thing. I will always choose you.” he smiled softly at her, sliding his hand into hers.

Evan sighed and sat down on the bed, running his fingers through his hair. ”Thanks for trying, Henry.”

”Welcome to the family.” Henry chuckled.

She leaned into him "why does it have to be like this I thought he at least liked me I thought it was family over all" she said

Lysander gently hugged her close to him. ”I don't know, angel. Some people are just hateful.” he sighed.

Tyler looked at Evan "do you even care about her"

Betty sighed

”Of course I care about her.” Evan said, turning his head to look at Tyler. ”That’s why I have to deal with Alex.”

Lysander continued to hold her and gently began to stroke her hair.

"as a friend?" Tyler asked

”No!” Evan shook his head. ”More than that. She shared her heart with me. And I hadn't had one in centuries. She means a lot to me.”

"Is that all the only reason you feel these type of feelings for her,?" She asked "Because she loves you"

”Are you a shrink or something?” Evan asked. ”No, that's not the only reason. I… I love her too. … Very much.” he told her.

Sue she nodded laying down

”Hmm?” Evan asked, raising a brow. It sounded like Tyler said something but he wasn't sure.

Henry sighed a little and looked at Evan. ”I don't mean any disrespect or anything but… Honestly, I don't think anyone loves Betty more than our brother.”

Tyler had said what she needed to say now she was going to let Henry talk to him

Evan looked at the other vampire. ”Why do you say that?”

”Don’t play dumb.” Henry scoffed. ”You know that they’re an Eternal pair.”

Tyler looked at the ceiling
