The Queen

Chapter 4

Time passed and it's already 10:15 PM. The hallways are quiet and the stars are out. I sobered up hours ago after I read all the requests and proposal papers that caused my stress.

Moving on, tomorrow is a hectic day.

Scratch that.

All days are hectic, but tomorrow I have an important meeting with my Royal Council regarding a problem that has been happening around the borders. 

I still don't know what it is since Levi asked them to not stress me out because of the lack of sleep I was getting. But that just made me even more stressed because if it has to do with the borders, it means danger.

My Kingdom was big compared to the three kingdoms around it. The Soho Kingdom was down south, near the equator. The Stevaria Kingdom was above mine, towards the cold. And finally, the well-known Ravaryn Kingdom was beside mine, having a big section of the coast like mine.

 However, our castles were far away from each other, as our kingdoms took up a big part of North America.

And again, the thing that I love about my territory is the diverse landscapes and weather. If I wanted to go to the coast, done. If I wanted to go to the mountains, done. If I wanted to see the snow, done.

I should probably head out for my training session. Don't want to be late again.

I organize and shut everything off; my computer, the papers, the candles, and the lights, although I always leave a small lamp turned on.

I walk through the lonely hallways while humming my favorite piano piece; Clair de Lune.

Growing up, the people around me noticed that I was quite advanced in my musical and language skills. I became a prodigy at the piano at the age of 5 and was gifted with my mother's voice. 

For languages, I was raised with both English and Spanish, since my mom was a Latina, making me half Latina. Later on, when Louis came around he taught me French, his language, and Latin, the Kings and Queen's language, even though we don't use it anymore.

With all of this, my mind becomes a mush sometimes and I can't think straight. So my solution: distraction with music.

I mainly sing soft melodies, since I find that they're a perfect pairing with my voice. According to sources, aka my parents but especially Levi, aka the only people that have heard me sing, they say that my voice sounds enchanting, almost like if I was hypnotizing someone and making them my puppet. 

Weird description but Levis's words.

I continue humming while hearing the clicking of my heels against the floor. The big hallway windows provide me a good view of the night sky. The stars hug the sky while purples and blues swim in the embrace.

When my father and mother would go on their business trips, he would always tell me to sing to the moon because he will be hearing me. That way he confronted me without even being here.

After some more walking, I get to the big wooden doors located in the far corners of the castle. I get the gold key from my jacket and open it quietly, the creaking of the door echoing through the spacious room. It has open windows and a large roof light in the center. It looks like no one is here, but it's exactly the opposite.

I stand in a tile next to the door and put my hands against the wall so that an invisible screen scans it. And boom, I can see light in the room and Louis sitting in one of his chairs, a book in his hands.

"Fleur, you're here!" Louis said with a smile while getting up and straightening his clothes. (Flower)

"Yes, I am," I affirmed, taking my jacket off. I go to a couch and proceed to take my heels off.
