Chapter 80: Flah-sé-dah & Intervention

(Just the chapter Flah-sé-dah was pretty short, it turns out. So I'll combine it with the chapter Intervention which is from Agatha's POV, since it won't be super long. That will happen sometimes because sometimes chapters in these later books can be pretty short. )

Also, happy one year anniversary to this book! I'm impressed how far I managed to get in one year. 1 030 pages, 363 000 words, and over 90 000 total reads if you count both on Wattpad and Quotev! Thank you all for reading this story so far. I love you all to bits!)

"So is he king or isn't he?" Dean Sophie asked, nose buried in the Royal Rot. "According to the Camelot Courier, he is, but according to the Rot, he isn't. What both agree on, however, is that once Tedros finds a way to pull Excalibur out of that balcony, then it's settled and he's king once and for all. But if someone else were to pull Excalibur out before Teddy... well, it wouldn't matter, would it, since only the blood of Arthur can sit upon the throne... which means Tedros is king, now and forever, though it sounds like he's only a 'half-king' without respect or support... or a sword."

Draped in a plushy black bathrobe, Sophie leaned back, picking at the curlers in her blond hair as she scanned more articles:

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH CORONATION MONKEYS!

WERE TEDROS AND QUEEN Y/N SWITCHED AT BIRTH? EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FROM ANONYMOUS ROYAL GUARD!

AGATHA: THE SMART ADVISOR... OR WITH PULLING THE STRINGS BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

HORRO-NATION FALLOUT: IS LANCELOT PLOTTING TO STEAL THE CROWN?

"Ten months later and it's still all anyone talks about," Sophie sighed, folding the newspaper and fingering a vial of gold liquid hanging from her necklace. "Poor, poor Teddy."
"If Teddy's so poor, why are you smiling and giggling?" grunted Hort.
Sophie looked out at her shirtless, raven-haired friend and two first-year Neverboys in sleek black uniforms lugging a marble statue of Y/n across the newly furbished Evil Hall.
"Are you implying that I'm happy that two of my friends are having a horrible time while my girlfriend is worshiped by her people? Are you implying that I take secret delight in whatever strains this humiliation has put upon their relationship?"
"Yes, actually," Hort said, rippled muscles shining as he slid Y/n's statue through the red-and-gold ballroom. Above Hort, a few Nevergirls teetered on ladders to hang a chandelier, each crystal shaped like an S. "Plus, you've been writing Y/n for months surely trying to hijack their wedding so your wedding to her will be way better, and you secretly want her wedding to Tedros and Agatha to bomb," he added. "So yeah, not really implying. More just saying it."

Sophie stared at him. "I want to be helpful for my Darling, Hort. She's far away in a whole new kingdom, preparing for her next biggest day of her life, because our wedding will of course be the biggest, but either way I want to be there for her. Am I a bit hurt it has taken her this long to come and visit me? A little, perhaps. But I'm not mad."
"When you're hurt, you get mad," said Hort. "You get so mad that you turn witchy and start wars and people die. Check the history textbook."
"Oh sweetie, that's the past," Sophie groaned, reclining against her glass throne, shaped like a five-pointed crown. "It's a new year now and I've moved on, just like our former classmates who are off in the Woods, pursuing their fairy-tale quests. Look..."
She slipped the lid of the vial attached to her necklace and turned the vial upside down, emptying the gold liquid. But instead of falling to the floor, the liquid suspended midair, creating the outline of a large square before it magically filled in with a magnificent three-dimensional map of the Endless Woods. Scattered across kingdoms near and far were dozens of brightly colored figurines, like an army of toy soldiers, each resembling a fourth-year student from the School for Good and Evil and labeled with their names.
