Kalen – chapter 10

My heart burned in my throat and sweat trickled down my back during the announcement the king had made. I couldn't go to my chambers though, I had work to do. The king granted me with the assignment of checking the safety and different routes possible to the Vowen palace, where I will be staying as a guard to Kendra. I took the long way to the library, through the gardens so I could clear my head. Kendra had chosen me as her guard for some reason. I would vow to do my best to help her at the wedding. I couldn't believe it; she was leaving, and I would leave to and as some sort of a punishment I would watch how much affection Caldor grants her with. I felt so dizzy, and I kept stumbling on my own feet. A while later I made it to the doors of the library, it was a miracle I survived the walk her. My heart was beating too fast. I took a deep breath and took in the smell of the crisp pages as I walked inside. I went straight to the back where maps rested on the walls in giant frames as if they were some holy artefacts. my throat immediately went dry, and my heart slowed down until it felt like it wasn't even beating anymore. I felt like I was invading their privacy, but I couldn't stop staring in their direction. Kendra was resting in his lap, her head to his shoulder. His head was rested carefully on top of hers and they were fast asleep. Kendra's crown sat on the side table on top of a pile of books. It couldn't be, not after yesterday, when she said such things about him. But now seeing her with him they looked perfect together, like she was the missing piece of his puzzle. It was hard not to believe they were deeply in love. My vision went blurry, and I felt like I couldn't breathe, so without thinking I walked back to my chambers in a rush. As soon as the library doors slammed open, a group of court ladies shrieked, and a young servant was on the floor in shock. My face was red in anger and embarrassment, but I couldn't stop right they're for everyone to see the chief guard in dismay, it would be inappropriate. The guards exchanged looks at the door of my chamber, but I pushed them aside and nearly stumbled into my room when I slammed the door open. I locked the door quickly and to my dismay I fell to the ground, my feet aching, my throat burning and my blazing heart setting a fire through out my body. Slowly silver teardrops felt to the floor, it was stupid, I was acting stupid. But it felt so good expressing me, it felt like relief. Like a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly day.
