The Good King

'About Ida'

The sky was so light blue, covered in those huge clouds.

The grass was greener, and the flowers that slept well last night bloomed happily, welcoming a new day.

After enjoying their breakfast, each and every one of them did help with the cleaning and the dishes.

Before they all sat down to enjoy their fun conversations and mostly listened to each other's stories.

"We'll go fetch the dry clothes and blankets now"

Luna said while following Mary, Larica and Ida outside.

"I will help"

Ventor said following his beloved one.

While Victor was still helping Gilda being the good younster he has always been.

Hawk was sitting next to the window and did not take his eyes off Larica, not even for a second.

While the prince was also enjoying the view.

Alma did stand close to him and whispered.

"May I have a word with you, prince Elmer?"

Her words caught him off guard. Yet he quietly stood up and followed her upstairs to where she was headed.

Even though Hawk did not flinch at the sight of Elmer leaving his side, someone who was standing outside and in the other side of the window did see the prince walking away.

Alma made it to the atter and showed him the small window that leads to the roofrop.

"I want to talk about Ida"

Her expression showed how worried she felt for her friend.

"What about Ida?"

The prince immediately asked.

The girls and Venator were bringing the clothes inside, and it was the hunter carrying all of it.

"Where should I put these?"

He asked looking at Luna.

"Follow us upstairs!"

She said pulling him by his arm, followed by her sister and Ida who's eyes were wandering around trying to spot Elmer.

Not finding him around only encouraged her to follow everyone else upstairs.

The crowd stopped in front of that one open door. The room that leads to the rooftop and Ida's very favorite spot.

Elmer was gently patting Alma's head.

''We're back!''

Mary shouted.

The prince smiled at everyone replying,

''Would you like some help?''

''Thank you''

Came out form the most unexpected person in the room.

Venator did thank the prince ever though he did not allow him to help.

In the middles of those chatting voices. And in a small room full of human figures, her eyes could only see him.

Not only her, the prince was way more captivated than anyone else.

''Shall we go for a walk?''

He suddenly said.

All eyes turned towards him. Hawk Held his laugh in, he could not overlook how happy Elmer was whenever she was around.

He suddenly remembered Victor's words about the prince.

'His eyes sparkled... was it?'

Hawk's thoughts were interrupted when Luna made fun of the prince's words.
