The Hidden Kingdom of Magic | Dreamnotfound ✔︎

Chapter 12

The door closed behind Dream receiving a small sound of a slam that caused Dream to flinch for a slight second. He sighed; looking at his leather armor that was stained with dry salty tears from the crying prince a few hours ago.

George had requested to his personal knight—Dream to leave his room after a few hours of the knight comforting the Prince and staying by his side as he reads books, and eat lunch when it was lunchtime for the Prince and him.

For some reason the Prince wanted him to leave his room for now ever since he had cried because of some thought that Dream wasn't that aware of. The dirty blond sighed as he took a step forward towards the hall that had various paintings against the stone and brick walls and ancient artifacts made and discovered in the past centuries.

Muffled voices of maids and knights through the thick walls of the palace can be heard as Dream walks through the hall; the footsteps caused by his boots bouncing on shiny walls causing the sounds to echo around him hitting his eardrums. Maids were passing him left and right and knights were stood still guarding what needs to be protected such as jewelry like diamonds and gold, ancient artifacts, and much more that is treasure to this palace.

Going back to reality Dream noticed that he was now downstairs with the maids walking around the castle grounds busy. Well, I guess I can explore the castle a bit, he thought as he took the last step going down the stairs.

On the corner of his eyes he can feel the stares on him given by the maids and the knights who were doing work. He scoffed behind his mask, rolling his eyes as he just continued walking to no where. What do they want from me? Do they find it weird to see a human in their world? He thought to himself as he continued walking stopping when he arrived somewhere he still doesn't know.

The dirty blond then arrived at a place in the palace just right next to the dining room. He entered the large door right next to the dining table and saw that it was empty. The floor was clean, cabinets everywhere against the walls and laid at the floor, and fruits and vegetables placed on a smooth marble counter in the middle. I'm guessing this is the kitchen. He thought looking around as he saw a brunet that stood at his left.

He saw that the brunet was organizing the fruit and vegetables at the counter for dinner later. Dream walked towards the brunet and saw the wagon that Karl was carrying yesterday filled with tons of food. He picked up a fruit from the wagon and placed it on the country helping the brunet doing this multiple times copying the steps of the chef.

He saw the brunet turn his head and look at Dream. Dream widened his eyes when he saw the face, "Karl?" he spoke in a questioning and confused tone.

Karl looked at him as he also widen his eyes in shock. "Oh God it's you!" Karl gasped placing his hand over his mouth surprised. "You- how did you get here?!" Karl half yelled with his words muffled because of his hand that was covering his mouth used to let out words.

"I followed you and I know that I wasn't supposed to see the kingdom. So don't question how I'm here" Dream huffed crossing his arms as Karl gulped looking at Dream dumbfounded.

"Don't tell me you're Prince George's personal Knight that's been spreading in the kingdom now! And is human! And you shouldn't be in here, I only came outside the kingdom to get food that is beyond rare in this kingdom!" Karl whispered shouted as he looks at Dream shook.

Dream gulped as he ran his hands through his messy dirty blond hair against the silent cold wind in the kitchen; nervously nodding. Karl stood there in shock his hands slowly losing motion, the vegetable that was gripped against his hands falling on the wagon he used yesterday. "Look, I'm sorry for following you ok? You were just acting a little suspicious for me not to follow you" Dream spoke his voice slowly trailing off at the last word he spoke.

Karl just sighed knowing that he now can't do anything about it. "Its ok I should've said the truth anyways. By the way, I never got your name" Karl said looking at Dream who just cleared his throat coughing with his mouth closed.

"Dream" the dirty blond spoke as Karl just slowly nods.

"You know the news of you being in here in this kingdom and you being Prince George's personal knight as a human has been spreading pretty quickly you're quite famous now. But there are some bad rumors about you" Karl said sighing as he frowned looking at the fruit he dropped earlier.

Dream saw Karl look at the fruit as he placed the palm of his hands on the air focusing on the fruit. He then saw that Karl was using magic to lift the fruit; a soft wind surrounding the apple. When the apple was now against the palm of Karl's hand he quickly gripped it as he looks back at Dream who was staring at the apple curiously. "I'm guessing you have the element air am I correct?" Dream questions not bothering about the last thing Karl said as the brunet nodded.

"Yes, now may I ask how's your bond with the-" Karl questions but was cut off by a familiar voice that Dream hasn't heard of since yesterday.

"Dream!" a yell was heard from behind. Both Karl and Dream turned their gaze behind them and saw Sapnap who was standing behind them smiling happily on his armor that seemed horribly uncomfortable and heavy since it was metal at least on Dream's eye.

Dream grinned seeing the knight that he just met who was also Prince George's friend behind him who was smiling happily. "Sapnap! You're normally free at this hour. Is your duty called off?" Karl spoke giving Sapnap a warm smile.

"Indeed, and I'm also here to check on Dream" Sapnap spoke as he turned his gaze at Dream who was awkwardly looking at the ground waiting for the conversation to end. "So I see you've met Dream, Karl" Sapnap spoke as Karl nervously chuckles.

"Yup, I did" Karl spoke running his shoes awkwardly at the ground.

Sapnap nods now looking at Dream, "So Dream how's the Prince? Why aren't with him right now?" Sapnap cluelessly asks as Dream just sighs frowning sadly.

"He told me to leave the room and said he wanted to rest for a bit. He was also rude at first but his mood swings a bit so.." Dream spoke trailing; not knowing what to say to the ravenette anymore.

Sapnap and Karl frowned, both now looking at each other hopelessly. "His mood swings often Dream you'll get used to it. But being rude is normal when it's his first time interacting with strangers. You both just need to spend time with each other longer" Sapnap spoke as Karl nods agreeing with his friend.

The dirty blond sighs, "I guess your right" he spoke looking at the floor focusing on his shoes.

Being rude was ok with him but seeing the prince get emotionally like before made his heartache. He knows he'll get to interact more with the brunet but he didn't know if seeing the Prince cry he can handle. He also didn't want to tell the two that their friend got emotional because of him getting threats and being different than the two was probably east aware of.

The only thing he was worried about was the dark and negative emotions that might hurt, break, and even worse of your highness prince George.

I'm so bad at conversations. I hate this chapter. It's also so short like me. Lmao

Also do you guys like short paragraphs or long paragraphs? Since I do realize that most of my chapters are long paragraphs.
