Chapter 1 : Kingly business

This is about a week after Wilbur has become king

—————

Wilbur was signing papers dipping his quill in the dark ink that was set across from him- signing scrolls writing mindlessly- such a monotonous routine- it almost seemed never ending- but he had to do it- for his kingdom- though it all felt for naught

He leaned back in his chair sighing giving his strained eyes a break- he took his glasses off and rubbed his face- he was truly exhausted- the kingdom was really in shambles after the past couple months and it was his job to fix it- and everyone was watching..

He heard the large wooden door creak open, "yes?" Wilbur asked the guard that entered the room, "please forgive me your majesty- Her lady Drista is here" the guard said in almost annoyed voice, "you mean general Drista?" Wilbur corrected, "yes- sir"

"Send her in"  he put his glasses back on his face and sitting back up in his chair- his fathers chair- the polished wood with red fabric chair-that felt to big for him to be sitting in- the responsibility of king still didn't feel like it was his to bear..

The guard nodded and opened the door for the 'young' blonde, he walked in behind her, "You are seriously going to follow me in here?" Drista asked the suspicious guard, "precaution my lady" the guard said trying to defend his actions

"Precaution against what exactly?" Drista asked crossing her arms, waiting for whatever answer this guard had, "um- I- uh-" The guard stuttered, Wilbur tried to keep his composure- he wiped the smile off his face, "you can go" Wilbur said to the guard trying to hide the smile through his words

"Yes sir" The guard nodded his eyes lingered on the goddess- for some reason he was suspicious of her

Drista rolled her glowing green eyes and walked up to Wilburs desk, Wilbur let out a small chuckle then calmed himself, "you're guards are idiots- if I really wanted to kill you- they couldn't stop me" Drista said creating green sparks out of her fingers, "plus I'm literally their boss what're they gonna do deny me access?" Drista said annoyed

Wilbur let another chuckle escape his tired face- dark circles under his eyes, Drista looked at her tired friend, "Wil- are you alright?" Drista asked curiously, Wilbur nodded gently and rubbed his eyes under his glasses, "yeah- yeah I'm fine" Wilbur said tiredly, "you don't seem fine- you look exhausted- when was the last time you left this office- you haven't been at any meals in a couple days" Drista said putting her hands on his desk and leaning over it- looking across his desk- seeing his crown in the corner of the desk- wet ink droplets strewn across the table- scrolls with illegible scribbles dabbed across its surface. Dirty plates at his feet, Wilbur didn't respond

She turned a scroll to read it- she couldn't, "um Wil- this is literally not legible" Drista said with a dry chuckle looking at her tired friend, Wilbur groaned, "I know- I know"

"I was going to go to sleep soon" Wilbur said then he looked out the large windows realizing what time it was, "Wilbur it's two in the afternoon" Drista said in a worried voice

"Wilbur- you are exhausted and are useless tired- you've only been king for a week, no one expects you to have everything in order already, when was the last time you even slept?" Drista asked in a kind voice-, "I 'dunno what's today?" Wilbur said with a dry chuckle and looked out the large windows- light streaming through, Drista was not amused she shook her head, "Wilbur don't put so much pressure on yourself take it from me- an ancient goddess who spent her whole life watching the most powerful god in the world try and fulfill his 'purpose'- if you try to hard- exhaust yourself.. you'll get nowhere." Drista told her tired young friend.

Wilbur sighed and rubbed his face, "Wilbur please get some sleep" Drista pleaded- her green eyes hypnotizing.

"Drista you don't understand-" Wilbur said before he was cut off, "Wilbur Soot- if you don't go to bed right now I'll get Techno" Drista threatened, "oh sure what's Techno gonna do? Drag me to my room like a child? I don't think so" Wilbur remarked, "I think that's exactly what he's gonna do" Drista said walking away from his desk and towards the door, in a moment of slight fear of his big brother- "alright- alright I'll go" Wilbur sighed as he got up from his seat and put his hands up defensively - he grabbed his crown and placed it lazily on his head and walked past Drista who had a big smile written across her face.
