Chapter 17- Tedros: "Why?"

Tedros wandered through the halls the next day. The palace was beautiful. Sometimes he wondered if it put Camelot to shame. They were both beautiful, but there was a certain difference with Shazabah that made everything stand out.

He wondered what was going on in Camelot. Sophie would be mad, Chaddick and Tristan were going to be at work, Beatrix said that they had meeting in the court today.

He got a letter from Sophie today. She sounded somewhat calm. He decided to write a letter in return.

Dear Sophie,

I am so sorry that I left Camelot without saying goodbye. I thought that it might have been better to leave Camelot on somewhat good terms. I understand if you are mad. I would be too.

Please do not get mad at everyone else. I think that Dot might want to hang out. She said something before I left.

Things are okay here. I was thinking about you earlier today. I thought of bringing you something from here. Reena says that the market is one of the most artistic places in the Woods.

Agatha and Reena are out today doing God knows what. Reena might have somehow convinced her to go do something girly. I'm not sure that Agatha wanted to do that.

I hope everything is okay there.

With Love,

Tedros

He gave the letter to a servant and they said that they would send it. He walked to Reena's sitting space. Apparently the girls were back by now. His eyes widened. He walked in to see Agatha and Reena. They were both wearing dresses. Agatha was wearing a navy blue lace dress with a silver chai that held a single diamond. Reena was wearing a silver bodice with a white shirt tied with a bejeweled sash. They both wore matching silver circlets on there arms.

They looked stunning. Like one look at the right guy could make him fall in love. That included Tedros.

He sat down on the couch opposite of them and studied the coffee table. They were working on the case. They went through what letters they thought could be sent to the team, and which ones weren't worth the time. After about two hours, Tedros was tired.

Reena said she had a meeting with her father, so it just left Tedros and Agatha. Alone. Tedros sighed. He didn't really feel very productive today. Which was weird.

He looked towards Agatha. She got up from the couch and walked towards the window. 

"Hey, Tedros?" she asked. 

"Hm?" he replied. 

She smiled. His stomach fluttered."Have you ever gone out to a market before?" 

Tedros shook his head, afraid his words would fail him. He hadn't. It felt weird. It was something apparently everyone did, but he hadn't. Not once. 

Agatha sighed and turned towards him. "Do you know the story of Aladdin? About how the princess went out into the market under disguise and she meet Aladdin."

Tedros nodded. "I don't see how this is relevant."

Agatha snorted. "I want to do that." 

"Why?"

Agatha shrugged. "Just for the fun of it."

Tedros raised an eyebrow. "You want to go to the market, in disguise, just for the fun of it?" 

"Why are you questioning it?" She asked. "Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to go to a market? This is probably your one chance of ever going and you won't even think about it."
