"Goldenheart Histories"

Worthy - Part 1

(AU where Ambrosius is the new ruler of the kingdom, he always wanted to find love but he is worried about what society thinks of him when they find out his secret)

- Ambrosius narrates -

Today is my coronation, unfortunately an illness took the queen away forever, as I am the next heir I have no choice, I will govern the kingdom as she would have wanted, I am barely eighteen but that will not stop me ...although... I think a lot about our last conversation.

- Two years ago -

- Ambrosius...

- Yes, your Majesty.

- Come closer my boy - I got closer, took her hands and I could feel how cold and weak they were - Ambrosius... my time is about to come.

- Ma'am... please don't say that - I wanted to stay strong, but it was impossible for me not to cry, she treated me like a son and now I'm about to lose her - I'm not ready yet, I don't know what I will do without you.

- Little one, I know you will make it, I really regret leaving you alone, I wanted to continue by your side, I wanted to see you grow and see your coronation, but I'm afraid it won't be possible.

- No, please no...

- Ambrosius - with her last strength she wiped my tears and made me look her in the eyes - be a worthy ruler, reign with peace and love in this place that saw you grow up, but above all... show them that being different is not something to be ashamed of - she knows it, she knows my secret, I never thought we would talk about it again but she is right, when the time comes the kingdom will know -

- ...I would have loved... for you to be present when I found the right person...

- Dear, I will always be with you... and when that day happens, you know you will have my blessing... find someone who supports you, accepts you and loves you for who you are... I know you will find it...

- Your majesty... thank you, I really appreciate it - as my tears came again her hands slowly fell, it was inevitable the moment was getting closer and closer - Ma'am! Please just... hold on... a little longer.

- I'm sorry, dear, I'm very tired... - she told me starting to cry, the pain and sadness in the atmosphere was very overwhelming - Ambrosius... thank you for appearing in my life... you filled my years with happiness and pride... I know you will do well... but the only thing I want... is for you to not forget who you are, you are someone wonderful my boy... and I will make sure to guide you to the right person... rule at the side of the one you love... and so the kingdom will know that you are a worthy successor... - her face reflected pain, she did what she could to give me a few last minutes -

- Your majesty!

-... See you soon little one... I love you very much... and remember that I will always be taking care of you- with that said she smiled at me for the last time and closed her eyes... forever-

- ... I know... I will miss you... mom - I couldn't stop crying, I hugged the only family I had in this world for the last time - ... I promise you... I will rule the kingdom ... I will do my best... and I will show the world who I really am... I will wait anxiously for the right person...

- Today -

Two years ago the queen said goodbye to me and the kingdom, today I will take her crown and do what is in my power so that the kingdom grows with me.
