You and Tedros slept in his castle that night and many nights after, You and him where named king and queen of Camelot, but that'd be undone due to the fact one night you left a window open. That's the window Leonora used to get in waking you up, “Who's there?” Leonora walked over and put her finger to her lips telling you to shush. She then got out a cloth, “What are you doing?” She glared at you and walked over to Tedros, You thought about stopping her but you didn't. You just looked away.

You felt Tedros grab your hand and his muffled yelling rang in your ear, he kicked, he hit your arm. Until he stopped, you looked over your shoulder and he was still, you knew he was dead. Leonora shut his eye lids and walked back over to you “Tomorrow, you shall announce that your husband, the king. Is dead. Then you shall announce you will be staying at the school for good to see to some business. Alright?” You nodded and she gave you a quick hug and a kiss, before turning into a raven and flying back out the window.

The rest of the night you didn't look at Tedros, you couldn't, it unnerved you. That morning you left the room, tears rolling down your face. You walked to one of the guards and whispered “The king is dead.” They all ran to his room and you wiped the tears away, your mother rushed over to you and hugged you “Im so sorry dear, only a few days after your wedding as well.” You cried into her chest. You weren't crying because of Tedros, of course you weren't. You cried because of Leonora, doing bad deeds without even thinking twice, she killed a young boy. But again, your mother had killed people, so had your father.

Later that day you told your mother about your trip “Im going to the school for good. Today, mother.” Your mother raised an eyebrow “I see, shall I come with you?” You shook your head “No, I need a long time to myself and be able to think.” Your mother got up from her chair “But Camelot needs it's queen.” You held her hands in yours “That's why I shall be leaving you in charge whilst I'm gone.” Your mother hugged you, you knew this whole plan was to get her to rule over the kingdom. So you let her, it wouldn't be your problem anymore.

You had to do a speech on a balcony, a speech that'd shake the bones of the people in Camelot “The king is dead.” Everything went silent “He died in his sleep due to sleeping face down in the pillow and suffocating, I shall be leaving Camelot due to this, I need time to reflect over my....Husband's death.” You wanted to throw up at the fact you called him your husband. “Whilst I am gone my mother shall be in charge.” Whispers spread over the people, due to your mother's title, they had grown uneasy.

You walked off of the balcony and grabbed your bags, you looked in the mirror at your black dress and black veil, you where required to wear a mourning dress to Respect the king's death. Of course you hadn't willingly put it on, when you climbed into the carriage you looked out at the castle, it was beautiful place just not a place you'd be able to call home. During the ride to the School for good and evil you fiddled with the ring Leonora had got you, it sat on your ring finger instead of your wedding ring. Which you through into the castles moat.

The ride back was long, and bumpy. The blue forest seemed to be alive whilst riding through it, you remembered the children would be back to school in a few days. And you'd get to teach them, you enjoyed the idea, you looked out of the window and saw the schools. The carriage stopped, “We can't go any further ma'am, sorry.” You got out holding your bags “Dont worry about it, I'll get over. Thank you for the ride.” The man tipped his hat at you “My condolences as well your majesty.” You gave him a small smile and walked away,
You walked through the forest until you noticed the black castle walls and the gate “Thank god.” With a flick of your wrist the gates opened and you stepped inside.

The wolf guards at the door noticed you and gripped their weapons “Who's that!” The other guard realized it was you and elbowed the guard “Its Lady Lesso's girlfriend, put your weapon down you idiot!” You chuckled and they stood straight as you walked passed them “Thank you boys.” You walked through the palace walls and sighed, this was the one placed you'd call home. “Lessy?” As you got closer to her room you began to call out her name “Leonora!” You opened her doors but she wasn't in there.
