All It Needs Is A Little Bit Of Clemency

Chapter 1 (?)

Before you read, I'd like to address some things. Don't skip this please and thanks.

Okay, reading? Cool. Some of the characters in this book do not belong to me, only my 2 OCs and the plot. This was originally made for a vocab quiz, using all 20 words, and make a story out of it. Well, it didn't technically need to be a story, but my creative imagination demanded it. So you may know how a vocab quiz works, put in vocab words from the list that can fit into where they specifically go to, except I kinda messed up some bits. I'm still going to keep them in for now, but I'll change them up later. We are in [q u a r a n t i n e] and I have other work I should be doing. It'll be a while, but stick with this story, the other chapters will come out in good time. Plus, without good time to make another chapter up and if I post it the next day, the chapter will be trash. However, with a good wait, I'll bet it'll be a good chapter, so bare with me readers. Well, I think I've taken enough of your time, but thank you for reading this note. Here is the story...

The seal was made. The two kings shook hands, acceding, and feasted. King Leroy, retiring, signed away his kingdom for a greater King to handle. The Kingdom of Normandy now in the hands of King Arthur. Seeing as Leroy was growing old and had no control of his people, he put them under lockdown. No one was allowed outside the barriers of his land. Therefore, they barely had any food and had tried to steal from others, including the royal house. Guards were covering the outskirts of the castle to suppress any kind of break-in. This has been happening for over three years and it's all they've learned to know. Even through the rules of the King, people have been trying to escape his clutches. Some have made it past, but not too long after they were seen by the guards and taken back in. Except one, made it by without anyone noticing and rushed to a nearby kingdom. He managed to get an audience with the King and told his troubles. Without a doubt, that king sent a letter to have a chat. Leroy was an understanding man, and thought this is the only right choice. Thus, surrendering Normandy to Camelot.

Now everyone was free. King Arthur thought of keeping the name of Normandy and asked the people if they would like that as well. They absolutely refused to have their kingdom named the same as before. That day, Camelot doubled in size. Arthur's stress was twice as large. The farther side of Camelot's people traveled to live in the closer kingdom. However, there was barely any room. His wife, Queen Guinevere suggested in making more buildings in the lower towns and the knights gladly helped the constructors once it's been said to be done. As people were arriving from the far Camelot, they helped out with building their homes as well. Succeeding in creating more than half they need for the oncoming people. Arthur was surprised by their generosity and thought it was a good idea to put them in an officious position for important choices. But, he did run over his Court Sorcerer's decision. Not only his Court Sorcerer, but his best friend, Merlin. Throughout his problems, Merlin was always by his side, happy to be there until the day he died. For the both of them, along with the Knights of the Round Table, deal with such bigger issues.

A pain in the neck arises with a sixteen year old girl named Ronny. She's a venal thief that made her way into the gates of Camelot. Her only goal is to take from others. She's also come from the previously named Kingdom of Normandy, but hasn't originated from there. She's known to be mysterious by the locals, but a kind soul. Though, all that is just a massive façade. In the darkness of the night, she bribes people for a living. She meets people in a dark corridor, having her end of the bargain in a small drawstring pouch, and trades it with hers running straight away. The people that got the other end are stunned with what foolish tricks they've gotten. Knowing they can't tell the King of this issue and not being able to find out who Ronny was as she was hidden by her cloak hood, they slump away in defeat. She's gained so much from the people and she decided it was the opposite of an inopportune to step to the next level. The King's castle.
