"Goldenheart Histories"

Together

(AU suggested by a follower, the queen dies before the naming ceremony and Ballister takes the title of king, although he must deal with rejection from the kingdom)

- Ballister narrates -

- 14 years ago -

When I infiltrated the coliseum and the guards caught me, I thought I would be sent to the dungeon, but in reality they took me to the queen, as soon as they left us alone I was really scared, I thought she would punish me more severely but she only dedicated herself to talking to me, I thought it was strange but I had a lot of fun talking to her.

From that day on the queen decided that I would stay in the castle and begin the knight training, that news was great, although I can't say the same about my companions or the director; the queen didn't care, she made it clear that I was going to participate in the guard, whether they liked it or not.

I spent a whole year in the castle, the training was hard but I felt that it was my destiny, my reason for being, so I took it seriously from the first day; my teammates hated me, all except one, whom I couldn't see for so long since we weren't in the same group and we separated as the training continued, I liked him very much, we even became friends and that news really made the queen happy.

Until this day my stay in the castle has been good, with certain ups and downs, but I wouldn't change it for anything, before entering here I never knew what it was like to have people who support you, someone who loves you... and that person for me... is like my mother... I would really love the queen to be my mother.

- Months later -

Today I didn't go to train, the queen took me with her to a place called orphanage, she was talking to a lady and asked her to write something, I didn't understand why but it seemed very important.

- Sign here and everything will be complete.

- Ready, that would be all?

-... Yes, everything is in order - the lady sealed the papers, she gave them to the queen and I think she thanked her - congratulations your majesty, now you are the proud mother of this little one.

- Mother? really? Then now...

- That's right little one, from today we are a family, a real family.

When I heard her I ran towards her and she hugged me with all her strength, I was very happy, I couldn't believe what was happening, my dream came true, now I have a mother and I hope we can spend all our time together.

-Your Highness... are you sure about what you did?

- Director, I am sure of my decision... I don't know how long I have left, but I cannot leave my kingdom without an heir.

- But why him? He is a street child, he does not have the slightest training for when the time comes.

- Don't you dare judge him only by his status, that little one has a lot of potential, he is purer than the other children of the future guard... in time he will learn, he will be a worthy ruler, and when the time comes... I need to know that I can trust you to guide him.
