The kingdom

chapter three

(Brighton's POV)
(This song is so good and sad at the same time but I love it,it's a tribute to the beloved Paul walker,I would like you to play this when Carson and Niall talk.)

As Carson and I sit in the carriage I look over to study her face. She is absolutely gorgeous,and I honestly think I made the right decision to bring her to the royal palace with me. I notice the way her plump pink lips curl into a small smile at her thoughts and she will look at me and then look down.

"Carson,who is this friend we are going to see?" She looks back up at me and I watch her features brighten at the mention of this 'friend' she looks at me then smiles once more " his name is Niall,and he is my best and only friend....well until I met you." I smile a little and she points out the window.

"Thats it,that is where he is!" I ask the driver to pull over and she jumps out and runs to the door knocking on it frantically. A older woman opens and smile s so bright and brings Carson in for a hug. "Carson how many times to I have to tell,you dear you don't have to knock." I laugh as Carson rushes into the house yelling a thank you.

I greet the old woman and she bows and I signal her to stand she smiles at me and asks "would you like some tea,kind sir?" I smile and nod "why yes thank you, my name is Brighton." She smiles and we go in and she gives me some tea and I wait for Carson to come down to leave with me.

(Carson's POV)

I rush up the stairs and see Niall laying on his bed. I run in the room and jump on him,he shakes in surprise then sees that its me hovering over his body and he smiles happily and crushes me to his body. I sit on him for a while like that and we just hug and I know it's the last time I'll see him.

I start to cry silently and he pulls away only a little and wipes my tears with the pad of his thumb,"what is wrong car?" I smile at his little nickname for me and I say "Niall,this is probably the last time I'm ever going to see you.....and I wanted to come and say good bye to my favorite boy."

Nail looks at me with teary eyes "w-what?....where are you going?" I smile a little and tell him "Niall,I'm off to the royal palace with brighton." He starts to cry. And he pulls me in for a hug and we cry for a while in each other's arms "Niall,thank you for being there with me and being my best and only friend,I love you horan." He smiles

"Carson....today when I came home,I wished that you didn't have to live this life anymore...with your mother and all of that.....and now I'm starting to wish I hadn't,haha ..I know it's selfish but your my best friend and I don't want you to leave me."

I smile and nod "well niall,I can't thank you enough for making what little I had of a life good,and I love you for that." He kisses my cheek and I hug him and then stand "I have to go now Niall,I wanted to say goodbye." He nods and we hug again this time longer and I pull away and kiss his cheek "bye Carson,you will always be my best friend."

I smile and nod "good bye niall,and you will always be my bestfriend too." I descend down the stairs to see and crying Mrs.horan and she pulls me in for one less hug and says "you've always been like a daughter to me...and I love you." I cry and say"and I you....you were always like my mom."

Brighton and I leave the horan house hold and head into the kingdom of Bradford. When we get to the heart of the kingdom I see the faces of smelling families and it makes me smile as well. I feel the carriage jerk to a stop and Brighton grabs my waist to steady me.

I smile a him "thank you Brighton." He nods with a small some and we exit the carriage. I decide to ask Brighton why I am here,because now that I think of it I have no clue what I am supposed to do. "Brighton?...what do I do here?" He looks down at me apologetically and says "Carson,I am terribly sorry but you will be the head servant here for the king,and his son."

I nod it's not so bad hopefully...it's better that what I normally do "it's quite alright Brighton." He nods and we go in the castle and I look around in awe at how beautiful this castle is. There are blues and holds that line the walls and floors,along with the fact that the floors are so clean I can see myself.

I look up at Brighton and he smiles down at me "let us go and introduce you to your king." I nod and gulp. We go up the spiral stair case,the stairs them sells are marble but the railing is a beautiful gold color,I think it's real gold. I hear a laugh and look to Brighton confused "love,you said that out loud."

I blush and look down with a giggle of embarrassment and he sighs "come on,I am waiting love." I hurry my steps and we go to the end of a hall with red carpets and the doors of gold color. We get to the very end door and it is by far the biggest door and has little gems on the handle.

Brighton pushes the door open and I am met with a mahogany desk in the far back but still central and book cases,then there is a large chair and in it is seated a man with facial hair and kind eyes. He smiles when he sees us "ahh,yes Mr,Brighton...how was your journey into the town."

Brighton smiles and bows a little then introduces me "sire,it went very well...I have brought back some cheese,and this lovely young girl." The king looks at me and I bow,the king comes over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder "there is no need to bow young miss,what is your name?"

I stand and smile a little "my name is Carson,sire." He smiles and says "that is a beautiful name,miss Carson." I smile "why thank you sir." He nods and asks "so why have you brought the lovely miss Carson here today?" Brighton looks at the king and says "I thought it would be better here for her than with her mother."

The king looks shocked and looks over to me "sit,my child....tell me what has happened." I nod and sit in the chair across from the coffee table and tell him about my child hood and how I rarely at and I used to get beat. The king looks horrified and says "well,I'm glad that Sir.Brighton has brought you here then!"

I look down and try not to think if what I had just reveled. The king looks at me and I smile "how would you like to be the top servant for me and my son?" I nod and smile "yes thank you sire, I won't disappoint!" He chuckles "I know you won't Carson...you won't really be a servant you will be treated like a Nobel,but you still agree to my orders and my sons."

I nod "thank you sire." He nods and says "Now,let me show you to your room." I nod and hug Brighton tightly and he laughs "thank you brighton." I whisper to him. He nods in return and turns me around and nudges me to follow the king. I think I'll like it here.
