For the last couple of days now had Charles been sexually active with Max. Many late nights with them bonding and making love to each other. In those few days, the two of them had learned so much about each other and sex in general. Getting more daring and went to explore what felt nice and what not.

If one were to see the two in town, they wouldn't possibly know what would go on behind the closed doors of their home. Looking like one strong and kind viking while one innocent and angel like prince, no one believing that the two could get up to so much mischief.

That also depends on what culture you base the mischief of from. In the viking culture it's normal to sexually experiment from the moment that you get those sexual desires, getting pregnant from a night fun with no strings attached wasn't frowned upon nor would they judge you for having fun. They would just say that the gods would be proud that their having fun which is their view upon life.

But if you ask the Monegasque culture what is appropriate, you would get exiled or never find a suitable partner in life again. It was frowned upon and god would send you down to hell. Sex was only for the married couples because then you wouldn't be frowned upon and getting pregnant out of wedlock? No one would ever talk to you again, you would be exiled or hated for life.

Charles however had found himself unfortunately in the position of his and the viking culture knowing what had happened between Max and him. It was maybe not the best idea if the two did it in the middle of the day while both were expected to be at a counselling meeting and had seemingly been gone for too long in Jos his opinion.

It was not Jos who had been the problem, he had only opened the door to find the two in the bedroom. He shouted to get dressed as they were late for the meeting and would speak about the tardiness on a later moment before he had left. It was unfortunate that in the haste that Max and Charles had found themselves in that Jos had joked to the people in the meeting that the two looked like they had sex.

Which had turned both of them bright red, it was not spoken of for the rest of the meeting until the other people had left and only Max and Charles had been left alone with their parents. Jos didn't seem to care as long as they didn't get late to any other meetings he didn't seem to care about what they did in their free time.

Sophie had been happy and proud of them, since sophie had been there for Charles in those six months of Max being gone. She had wormed herself in Charles his heart as a mother figure to him and the fact that she seemed to be happy for them warmed his heart a little.

But if looks could have killed, both He and Max would have been dead. The stress level had raised to the roof since the meeting hall had emptied out. Max had been as calm as ever and didn't seem bothered by what they had done or the consequences behind them. He had only nodded his head, agreed to his father and said that it wouldn't happen again. That the next time they wouldn't be so stupid.

With that said, Charles his parents had exploded in rage. His mother had disappointedly shouted at Charles for being a disgrace and that he should have known better then to spread his whoring legs to the viking without being married to him. That if this bad been Monaco, he would have faced exile at this moment.

Tears had sprung in Charles his eyes as he had never thought his parents would be this angry or hateful towards him over something so small while he had told them already a couple of times that he had more connection to this culture then his own. It broke his heart how his parents couldn't see things from his perspective. The vikings had been smart, why wait if marriage only is a title and doesn't change the love you have for someone.

His father broke lose and started shouting at Max and Jos for corrupting Charles like that. He father proceeded to shout that Max isn't good enough for Charles and that he ruined every chances that Charles could have on a perfect husband. That Charles is a disgrace thanks to their viking ways. The anger and hate that his parents were pouring out in the room was suffocating him. He had never thought his parents would react the way they did.

What Charles hadn't expected was Max keep is mouth, not before sending both the king and Queen of Monaco the dirtiest look he could muster before going over to Charles. It was Jos that exploded in rage after that and went on to point out many things and that they could either be happy for their son being happy or keep their mouth shut since Charles had been officially under the law and citizenship of Holland after he had been titled to next chief in line. Which he still is since he's in a relationship with Max. Even if Charles wasn't with Max, he would still keep that title.

It was Max who was leading him out of the room with a comforting hand on his lower back before the viking turned back to Charles his parents. It sends chills down Charles his back in the way that Max had held himself, coldly telling the king and Queen to watch their words since they're guests but also to have some respect for their son that if they not sincerely apologise to Charles for this, for making the choice to bond and make love with Max while being unmarried which is completely normal within their culture they don't have to come near Charles in Max's opinion.

It was only then that Charles had realised just how protective Max had been of Charles all along. That the viking would get in between Charles and his parents to tell them to fuck off until they made up. That he would even protect Charles from his own parents if it was absolutely necessary. After that Max took him away, walking down the village with an arm wrapped around his waist.

"It hurts." Charles mumbles softly.

"I know, they'll come around. I promise. I think they're just worried about you but don't handle the situation the right away." Max promises the poor prince.

Charles nods his head as they get to the little hangout spot that Charles and Max had come up with recently, Lando, Carlos and Daniel had soon after joined them. The others had been told not too long ago but were yet to show up. Charles had liked the little tipi hut that it was made of with a fire pit within the hut, it is placed at the edge of the village and no one really uses so they took it for themselves.

Inside they find Lando sleeping in the back on the mattress and covered with multiple furs draped over his snoring figure. Carlos silently is readying while Daniel looks up at them as they come in. Almost already knowing what has happened by the angry look on Max and the teary eyed Charles.

"Was it that bad?" Daniel asks as he gets up to wrap Charles in his arms.

Carlos looks up from his book, a frown on his face as Lando stirs awake only to sleepily look at them. Charles feels a hand on his back, which he knows isn't Max's. Daniel let him go so that Pierre can hug him tightly.

"I warned you guys to be more careful." Pierre comforts Charles.

"His parents found out?" Carlos asks as he gets up too.

Lando, who is about four months pregnant by now had gotten strict orders of Victoria and Carlos to only walk when absolutely necessary, since his small frame from his young age and late development wasn't on his side and could be a problem for the babies health if he tired himself out too much.

"They shouted at us and told me if we were back in Monaco that I would have gotten exiled. They called me a disgrace and a whore." Charles breaks down in sobs.

"Only because you made love to Max?" Lando asks sleepily.

Charles nods his head and goes over to the pregnant boy. Lando happily takes Charles in his arms and cuddles up with him, both loving the hugs and needing it at the same time. Charles had felt like his parents had stopped loving him the instance they caught wind of this.

For a couple of hours they sit there, Arthur and Lorenzo had heard about what happened between Charles and their parents before finding the two in the tipi hut. Sitting around the fire with Charles laying with his head on Max's lap and giggling at some thing that Max had said, when the two walked in.

Arthur sat down next to his brother, he had been angry at his parents but didn't say anything about it. All he did was walk out and look for Charles. He pulls his brother in his arms and gives him a hug, only to tell Charles that he had every right to do what he wanted and that it was not their parents business anymore since they're all adults and living in Holland, even if their country would be getting rebuild, Holland had proven to them to be their home.

Lorenzo had first shouted for an hour at his parents for doing that to Charles. Telling them that it doesn't matter what culture he was born in, he was part of Holland now, a viking in some ways. That this country was their home and the place that they want to stay forever at. Before he went on to tell His parents that it was unfair to them to call Charles out on it and insult their middle child for doing the 'sinful' thing that is forbidden.

While they had done it themselves in secrecy and even getting pregnant of him before they were even married and yet didn't get exiled while both his parents their parents had been very understanding and forgiving themselves back when Herve and Pascale got in that situation of being so in love that you want to take the next step.

With all that said, Lorenzo had angrily and disappointingly walked away from his parents in search of his younger brothers. He found Arthur walking in the village, looking for his brother. They soon heard from Alex where to go when they found the boy. Lorenzo was quick to find the tipi hut and sat down next to Max. Telling the viking precisely what he told his parents.

Which had Charles fume in anger when he heard it, Max stayed calm and comforted with some hugs. But it didn't help much, it made Charles only more upset when he did calm down and refused to move away from the viking who couldn't get up or anything, not that Max minded. It was Charles, he would do anything for charles.

At night, Max tried to cheer Charles up. It worked for a second before it had him back to being sad. Only when Max told him that he was gonna take a bath did Charles get up and follow him. A sweet and innocent cuddling session in the hot bath soon turned into a hot make out session and a wet act of hot sex on their bed, with them falling asleep soon after.
