Chapter 27: I do
The music festival was one massive success. I got first place and Dixie second. We both got a standing ovation, I felt like the birds flying high in the sky. Our duet was also a win and I could see Levi cheering me- us on from the crowds, it made my heart swell with pride.
I can't believe that I've made it through this term with everything that had happened. I'm so proud of myself, for once in my life. I'm so excited to have a break, after all.
Now I'm left sitting on my bed, on the Tuesday after the festival at night. Waiting for Levi, my leg bounces nervously wondering if he's coming at all. I mean for all I know he was just in shock when he said all that. My anxiety just attacks my head with unwanted thoughts. He could think I'm weird and irresponsible. He probably-
There's a knock at the door bringing me out of my self-doubting thoughts. Standing up, my purple star-lace dress, the one Dixie got me just for this occasion, flowing around my body

The Forgotten King Chapter 28: Beach waves
The sun's lights shine brightly. So bright that even with closed eyes it still ignites the dark world. The soft grass tickles my legs but still provides me with a comforting spot to rest. My head rests on the roots of a massive oak tree. I can hear the waves of the beach crash against the ledge I'm laying on.I can also hear the fisherman whistling their morning tunes. The daylight is just high enough for them to start their early morning work. Birds sing their gentle sunup tunes, forest birds. The thick forest road taken to get here must be the reason for them.Then, I hear footsteps. Soft ones, I can tell they're trying not to bother the space of peace I've found here up the mountain. A moment in time that I'll have to safe forever. After forgetting the best year of my life, I've started collecting these moments.The perfect, or almost perfect moments in my mind. Stored safely away for those moments where I most desperately need a moment of quiet.
The Forgotten King ~Deuxième partie~
~Part two~"Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute."~Edgar Allen Poe"He's immortal..."The words repeat over and over in my head. A daze of question's flooding my mind not giving me time to process any of them. A blinding amount of fury and confusion comes over me. I knew Levi would not answer my questions. He would be too stubborn.He would tell me what he always does. "I do not wish to lie to you, Kathleen. I also do not wish to hurt you. Or for you to leave me, so I will not tell you." I can already hear it in his deep, strong voice. I'll be left to wonder all over again. Now, now his unwillingness to tell me, will be the cause of
The Forgotten King Chapter 30: Confrontations
The warm sun rays carefully embrace me. It hits my eye almost scared to wake me up but not hesitating in doing so. There's still a cold breeze that comes from the open window. It still lightly winter but the weather becomes warmer. "Good morning, my queen," I say to Kathleen but opening my eyes I see there is no Kathleen and I'm just holding a pillow.I furrow my brows, usually, she waits for me to wake before she gets out of bed. I scour the room and see that her cloak and boots are not at their customary corner...Why would she need her coat? I get up from my bed and move over to my closet. A pair of my trousers and one of my shirts are missing.I hear a commotion outside. I get up, not caring for a shirt, only in my britches. Opening the door to one of the servants, "Oh your majesty, I was just about to wake you." She says in a faint voice, her cheeks rosy and eyes big, I give her a disgruntled grunt in return. Just like I've done many times before.
The Forgotten King Chapter 31: Old lady
To say I was tired would have an understatement without question. I've been riding this horse for hours now. The sun was high in the sky but slowly setting. Coming close to dusk now.I was exasperated, the horse was over-worked. It was fair to say we needed rest. I do know how to make a fire but I don't have anything to tie the horse with. Or the strength to go find wood.I felt gross, I haven't had the time to bathe before I left. I had too large clothes on. It's scratching me. The baggy clothes make it uncomfortable to move. I didn't have time to brush my teeth either. I felt truly gross.I almost decided to sleep without a fire and pry to the gods that my horse didn't leave me. Or that creatures of the night wouldn't come and eat me. That was until I saw smoke not far from me. Taking a risk I decided to ride all the way there pushing through the fatigue.I finally reach the fire, and it turns out to be a little shack. Next to it is a ho
The Forgotten King Chapter 32: We have a problem
Entering the tavern, the prattle falling dead silent. I would have sent a messenger boy, but there is no time for that, I went back to the head guard, also the first elf to be let into the kingdom, Hazel."Good-noon, King Levi." She says with a bow, tucking her firey; coral-colored; curly hair behind her pointed ear. "Ah, but it is already past noon, dear Red," I respond, with a sly grin.I found Hazel in the dungeons not long after I took over the throne. She'd also been trying to remove my father from his royal position. He didn't like that, or her race, and had imprisoned her, about to behead her as well. She was ill-fed and on her last legs.She was the only one willing to stand up against that horrible man. I had appointed her as head guard, as a reward. Doing all that after instructing the doctor to get back to optimal health. She smiles back at me, "What brings you here my king?" She asks, her eyebrows slightly furrowed."You are my most loya
The Forgotten King Chapter 33: Living payments
I wonder what she would possibly want from me. Would she kick me out if I didn't have any coins? Would she maybe make me work? I knew how to do mundane, village tasks, however, I hadn't done it in over a few years. I'm not sure if I could still do it. Before I could say anything she beat me to it. Shaking her head as she said, "I have been alone in these woods for quite some time now. As a practicer of the magical arts, I have a lot of knowledge. Your payment is merely for you to let me share my findings with you." She said with a hopeful smile. My heart melted, she is lonely. I gave her a big smile, "Of course, it would be my pleasure." Her eyes sparkled with excitement and oddly, anticipation and foresight? I must be imagining it. "I don't have any children and no one else lives in these woods besides the indigenous people. So I have no one to carry on all my information." Aphy says in an almost sombre voice. "Now let's get you a different dress, yeah?"
The Forgotten King Chapter 34: Captured
We both jumped at looked at the door in shock, the king standing there. Let's hope this dress disguises me enough. I bow my head slightly and say, "King Leanardo." I say, also bowing respectfully. I had only met him twice before, he wasn't even at our wedding. He raised his eyebrow, "You shall not speak unless you are addressed, peasant." A big sigh of relief built up in my throat but I couldn't release it. So I simply breathe out a small breath. Glad that he sees me as a peasant and not a royal. Unlike Aphy had noticed first about me. I couldn't help but look up at his face for a glance. He looked middle-aged and tired. Wrinkles and dark bags under his eyes. I could tell that he's been under heavy pressure. He was about to yell at me for looking up at him. Levi had told me that looking a person of authority in the eyes would show a sign of dissrapect. Yet before he did, his eyebrow raised. "Not that pig-like of a peasant than the rest of them. I could de
The Forgotten King Chapter 35: Evie
Levin and I continued through the woods. Our horses' clopping and the gentle chorus of birds chirping being background noise to Levin's rambling about. His exact words were and I quote, "The most advantageously scrumptious pastry that was ever to delicately enchant his taste buds."I chuckle, realizing the idiocy of the conversation taking into account our statuses. even the journey we're on now. I cut off his sentence by saying, "Really Levin, you are second in charge of one of the strongest kingdom if not the strongest and this is the stories you tell?" I say sarcastically as a rhetorical question.He huffs and says, "If we're the so-called strongest kingdom how did the queen escape after one night as the queen? Not to mention there's a war threatening because the neighboring kingdom sees this as Nothmere weakening? As well as the fact that the guards simply let her leave?" He says smartly, I can see the smug look on his face."According to them, you've
