The forgotten kingdom

Chapter 6

Aria woke up and wanted to die.

"Told you, baby."

She just groaned as she pulls the blankets over her head. Luche yanked the blankets off the bed making her jump. She got her foot tangled in the blanket and fell on the floor, when she heard him laughing, she sent a bolt of lighting at him.

"Hey, that's not very nice princess." She glared at him.

"And neither is making fun of me." She stood up and walked into his kitchen. As she started pulling stuff out and adding them to his blender.

"Baby what are you making?" he asked her as he sat down on the stool.

"It is a cure for a hangover. Nyx taught it to me." She heard him make a noise.

"Aria do you really think taking advise from Ulric is a good idea?" he asked her.

"Normally probably not. But in this case, I know it works. You really don't want to know how many times this drink has saved me from getting gripped at by Drautos." He just shook his head.

She was standing guard in the throne room with Luche when they started hearing gunshots. She moved to stand in front of the king when a group of people came in. She and Luche warped attacking. She turned to see a man moving closer and without thinking summoned the royal arms and killed the man. Once the rebels were taken care of, she saw everyone looking at her. Aria turned to run.

"Stop right there." She heard Regis yell. She turned to look at him.

"How can you summon the royal arms?" she shook her head.

"Then you will spend time in our prison until you can tell me." She drops her head as Clarus leads her to the prison.

Aria had been there for a few days now her hands were locked above her head and she hadn't eaten the whole time. How could he turn on her so easily? She kept her head down as her tears fell. No one was allowed to come see her. Once a day Cor came down and asked if she was ready to talk to the king and each time, she shook her head no. she didn't know that someone else came to the king and told him everything. She lost track of time. Then one-day Drautos came down and opened her cell and unlocked her cuffs.

"Don't worry sweetheart you being freed. The king wants to speak to you first." She was led up some stairs and into the king's study.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry. Shiva came and told me all about who you really are Princess Aria. I don't know why you choose to keep this hidden. Your father was my brother and that's why you can summon the royal arms." Drautos hands her a pad of paper and a pen. She wrote something down and hands it to the king.

I wasn't ready to tell anyone about who I was. Now I'm guessing everyone knows that the princess from the forgotten kingdom is really alive?

The king looked up at her.

"Sadly, yes everyone knows who you are now." She dropped her head.

"Your majesty I called Luche to take her home I think she needs to get some rest." Drautos cuts in.

"Yes of course. Take a few weeks off. Have Luche stay with her and help her out."

Luche sees her walk out and it takes everything in him not to run to her and pull her into his arms. She follows him to his car and doesn't say a thing the whole drive home.

"I cleared it with Drautos we can go to Galahd for the two weeks you off." She didn't say a word. Once back home she walks into her place and curls up in her bed.
