I would do anything for my kingdom. I promised that once I became king.
I walk down the paths of my empire, waving, laughing and talking with my towns people. I smile at every person that looks at me, no matter who they are. Homeless, rich, middle class. I smile at them. Soon enough I reach the end of my towns paths, looking out into the forest we haven't claimed yet, however there's a path that goes through the forest. To me, the forest is pretty, majestic, somewhere to go to get my mind off everything, even a king needs time to himself. As I step out of the gates, I nod at the guards that are stood outside of them with a smile.
"Have a good day, guys!" I say calmly towards them, keeping my smile as I turn to them.
They nod back and one of them say, "You too, my Majesty."
My smile flatters slight but stays on my face, "Please, call me Emilio." I say with crossed arms.
Once again, they nod. I turn and start following the path into the forest, my hands behind my back, holding each other. I look around, taking in the beauty of this place, the trees were a deep and healthy green and in the winter, they looked even more beautiful. The flowers bloomed and breathed like a living creature. I stop in the middle of the path and close my eyes, taking in the fresh air. I exhale gently and let the smile creep back on my face. Suddenly, i felt something bump into me.
I opened my eyes and looked down at the smaller male, i gently grabbed his shoulders and moved slightly away. "Hello? are you okay?" I asked, the smaller male looked up at me and smiled with a nod. I noticed he also had a crown on his head, it looked the same as mine but the gems on it were a different color. I was shook out of my daze when he started talking, "uh, i'm guessing you're also a prince,, or a king? B-But you look too young to be a king." He rambled. I let out a huff as a smirk crawled onto my face. "I am a prince, my mother is the queen. However, I am the heir to the throne. Anyways, what's your name?" I tilted my head to the side in curiosity. "my name is Callan." he muttered with a small smile on his face. " ah well, it's nice to meet you, Callan. My name is Emilio!" I answered.
There were no more words spoke after that, they made eye contact, smiled and then decided to walk around the huge forest side by side. After a while of silence, they started to chat about whatever came to mind. Stuff like family, their kingdoms and more.
NO-ONES POV
They found themselves off the path of the forest and somewhere in the forest, they ended up in an open place in the middle of the woods. Emilio jumped up onto a trunk and let out a happy sigh, relaxing against the part of the tree that the trunk connects to. Callan looks around the open space, turning around just stood in the middle of the beautiful place. Once he finished, he looked at Emilio, he stared going into a daze looking at the prince.
Callan didn't notice Emilio calling his name until he snapped his fingers in front of his face. "Callan? Callan! You okay? You were just staring." Emilio said with a raised eyebrow. Callan looks at him for a moment and his eyes widen slightly. "O-Oh yeah! I'm fine, i'm fine." He said with a smile plastered on his face. "Good, i thought something was wrong for a moment,, damn i thought my beauty had like, made you freeze. Like do you know that legend of the woman who had snakes for hair and everyone who looked at her turned to stone? Her! I thought I had turned into her for a second and that would have been bad."
Callan watched as Emilio rambled on about whatever the hell he was rambling about. Once Emilio was done rambling, it went silent and both of them burst out laughing. The laughing stopped eventually, when they were done they wiped their eyes of any tears and decided to head back to the path as they continued to talk, walking side by side once again.
