The Royal

Chapter 6

The next morning, I wake up before the boys and go get ready. I take a shower and get dressed. When I went back to my room I saw that Prince Levi was awake.

- Well good morning my Prince, I said and smiled.

- Good morning my sweet, he said back and smiled at me. I slightly blushed and laughed a bit. I walked closer to him and sat down next to him.

- You okay sweet? he asked me, looking kinda worried. I looked at him and said,

- W-well, not really. I looked down at my hands.

- What's wrong sweet? Prince Levi asked while grabbing my cheek. I blushed and said,

- I-I dont wanna marry your brother, I-, I stopped and looked away from him.

- I don't want you to marry him if you don't want to but-, he stopped and turned my face, facing him.

- I know it really doesn't matter but-, he said and took a deep breath.

- I love you and I would do anything for you, he said and smiled at me. I started to blush really hard. Prince Levi noticed it.

- Aww is my sweet blushing, he said kinda blushing too. I turned my face away from his and said,

- N-no w-why would I, I said, stuttering because of how hard I was blushing. I looked up at Prince Levi and made eye contact. He slowly started to lean in but just when we were about to kiss, we heard Prince Edward groaning, slowly waking up so we both looked away in embarrassment.

- Good morning! Prince Edward said half asleep. I laugh and say,

- Well good morning to you, Sleeping Beauty. Prince Levi starts laughing with me and we make fast eye contact.

- Well, atleast im a beauty! Prince Edward said proudly.

- I never said that! I said laughing at the same time.

- Well you called me sleeping BEAUTY! he said, almost screaming.

- Yeah, SLEEPING beauty! I corrected him and laughed.

We all walked down to the dining room and got breakfast. The Queen and King Richard were still planning the wedding. They were nearly done with the planning and we're gonna start planning the great 2 days party for the celebration of the marriage.

- Aerial, my dear? The Queen said.

- Yes? I asked, confused.

- Me and King Richard thought that it would be a great idea to let you and Prince Edward plan the 2 days celebration ball! she said while looking at Prince Edward and smiled.

- Y-you want us to plan a 2 days celebration ball ? I asked again, just to make sure that she really meant it.

- Yes, it would be a great thing to do before the wedding, she said and smiled again at us.

- What do you say Prince Edward? King Richard asked him.

- We if Princess Aerial is okay with it then of course, Prince Edward said and looked at me with a fated smile.

- Yeah sure, why not! I said and looked back at him.

- Good! the Queen said and walked up to me and said,

- Don't mess this up kid or I will have to punish you, and walk away. I looked down to my hand until Prince Levi came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I smiled at him and looked back down. I started to walk back up to my room.

After a few hours later, I go down to the thrones and sit down beside my fathers throne. I start to quietly hum the melody to the song my mother made. I started to cry as I was humming. I heard footsteps but I didn't care.

- What do you think you're doing Kid! the Queen said while walking fastly towards me. She grabbed my wrist hard and dragged me to an empty room.

- Please stop, please please, I begged her to stop but she would listen. I tried to scream but she fastly covered my mouth.

- Can you please shut up! the Queen said and threw me into a dark room. I was crying in pain on the room floor. I slightly lift my head to see the Queen looking at me with an evil smile.

- Now you stay quiet for your mother, Okay? she said and walked out, shouting the door after her. It was dark and empty. I wanted to scream but my throat was numb after the way I screamed on the way down here. I sat there in silence, crying in pain. I was too numb to move. I couldn't get any sleep that night.

In the morning the Queen came and got me from the room and walked me to my room to get ready. I go take a shower only to discover all the bruises on my body. They looked horrible and I knew I could hide them. I had a scar on my leg. I could tell It had bled a lot. I was scared but I could show it to anyone or else the Queen would torture me more then this.

I slowly walked down to the dining room to get breakfast. I sat down and started to eat. I didn't eat much but still something. Everybody was quiet except for the Queen and King Richard. They were talking about my dress and Prince Edwards suit. I could hear them say many times,

- Don't say too much about the dress. and,

- Prince Edward is not supposed to hear about it.

I wanted to shout out that I don't wanna marry Prince Edward, that I wanna marry prince Levi instead. But I knew I couldn't. What would The Queen and King Richard say to that. I already knew that Prince Edward was okay with it and that he wanted to help but we both knew that it was never gonna help. It was....useless.

After breakfast. I went to the stable and settled Butterflie and rode down to the river again. I was there for about an hour, trying to find a clear stone in the colour silver. I really wanna see one, and see the memory that hasn't happened yet. I stopped after a while and started to take off my dress. I left on my underdress that was white and see thru when it get soaked but I didn't care. I jumped in the water and dived in to see if I could find them under the surface. I found so many purple ones but I could find a silver one. I kept on diving until I went back up for air and saw King Richard standing beside my clothes.

- Oh hey King Richard, I said still swimming in the water.

- Hello Aerial, he said and sat down on a stone. I swam and put my arm on another stone to keep me above the water.

- I have some questions I wanna ask you, King Richard said with a very serious face. I looked at him confused and asked,

- What questions do you want me to answer? He looked at me and said,

- Is the Queen your real mother? I stopped for some seconds and looked down at my hands.

- H-how did y-you, I said but got cut off by him,

- Prince Edward told me. I got so mad at him but I know he cares about me.

- No she isn't, I answered. But soon after added,

- D-did Prince Edward tell you anything e-else about me? I asked, scared that he would know about my powers.

- No, he said and I signed.

- But I still wanna ask you one thing, he then said and I looked at him, waiting for the question.

- Does the Queen hurt you by any change? He asked and I couldn't tell him that she did so I said with a sad look on my face,

- N-no, she doesn't. I could tell on his face that he didn't believe me.

- Okay then, thank you for your answer, I will leave you alone now, he said and walked away from the iver back up to the castle. I kept on searching for the clear stone but didn't find anything, so I rode back to the castle and went to bed early.
