Once the light fades , everything is dark

24

They walked outside and many people are looking at them. Today is extra windy so they spend a lot of time walking till the end of the market.

Most of the people know Abel's face but not Nora until

"May I ask who is she , my king? said the prophet

"It is great to see you again old lady.. this is my love one who you were talking about two years ago"

"She's such an angel.. what's your name little girl?" asked the old lady

"I'm Nora"

"look at those eyes , brave , charming , gentle , enthusiastic , kind , thoughtful and confident" said the old lady 

Nora softly smiled

"You chose the right person , my king. She really is your light in your darkness. Don't loose her again"

Abel nodded and look at Nora

"We need to go now, exuse us" said Nora

"Good day" said the old lady

"What?  do you know her?" said Nora while walking

"Yes..I know her , why?"

"No , just asking. She describe me too much"

"it's true , she's not lying , umm wait here Nora I need to do my stuff"
"Hello , the gangster.. remember me?" said Abel

"HAHAHAH we do , what are you doing here? trying to find some place to die?"

"I'm inviting you to the palace tomorrow"

Abel threw a letter to them

"Bring your boss too , I want to see him and tell him it is a tea meeting" Abel smiled and left

"are those people controlled by queen Mary?" Asked Nora

"No..It's her brother but she will get punished too"

"I see , so what are we going to do first? going to baskertown or punish her"

"We will punish her first  then we will go to baskertown then back to Wellspring for us"

"Why dont we finish everthing in Wellspring first?"

"The arrangement from Baskertown were out already , that's why"

"I see..but why are you out for?" Asked Nora

"I'm seeing if our people are doing fine"

"Can we go back to the palace before the sunset?" Asked Nora

"Why?"

"I just want to make a plan for something"

"A plan? What? Giving birth or something?"

"No?! I just want to write things in my head"

"Are you hungry?" Abel turn his head to Nora

"Thank you for asking , yes I am"

"...I never eat outside the palace before , any recommendations?"

"I don't know?! I've been locked in Emelle for years"

Abel run to one of the noodles restaurants and shout to Nora

"COME HERE!!!"

'How old are you Abel ? Why are you running like a kid?' Nora thought

"2 bowls of noodles please" said Nora

"So..what are you going to write?"

"I think it would be a lot better if you divorced Mary and punished her then go to Baskertown and one year after that we'll get married.." Said Nora

"What will you do with those time?"

"Learn and study.. since I'm not smart ,I need to do something in order to help you in the future and to make people believe in me for being queen.."

"You are so prepared.."

Two bowls of noodles were placed on the table

"These look good" said Abel

They continue eating and go back to the palace when the sun sets

"I'll go clean myself first , there's dirt everywhere" said Nora

Abel nodded and leave  , while Abel is walking in the hallway there're three men running to him

"My king!!" Said one of those men "Queen Mary is gone, her things are gone and she signed the divorce paper already!"

"What?! Find her and her family then bring her back by next week! Where's the paper?" 

"In your workplace your majesty."

Abel nodded and three men ran away.

"Abel.. why are you mad?" Asked Azel

"Nothing..where're Avis and Amy?"

"They went back to Baskertown."

"And why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for my wife , she need to attend the coronation too"

"I hope I could be a good husband ..like you"

"Just because your version of normal isn't the same as someone else's version doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you Abel.."

Abel smiled and say goodbye to Azel. He walks to Mary's workplace with a lantern. When he opened the door , her belongings were gone. So he walked into the room slowly and look around. A while later , there are a knock from the door and the door opens.

"Why are you here your highness?" Nora asked with a soft voice

"I..I thought it'd be better if we renovate this room and make it your workplace"

"No need to , I prefer it like this..but will I have paperworks?"

"Well..yes if you are the queen.."

"Why are there many paintings here your highness?"

Abel chuckled "My mom like to draw and.. those women are Wellspring's past queen, Actually this is queen's workplace for many generations"

"I see..but why-?"

Abel interrupted "my room? I don't like paintings so I decided to move them to the library instead.. and why did you end the sentence with 'your highness'? Did you do something wrong?"

"No? I just..think you should be called that"

"What should I call you then..?"

"Anything I guess"

"Alright my queen" Abel smiled and open the door  "I need to shower too"
