Chilled the Royal Chaos

Chapter 7 I'm not leaving

~Anthony/Chilled's POV~

The next morning I woke up and started coming up with a plan in my head, 'There has to be a loop hole for me not to go back to my kingdom! I've been up all night thinking about it. But I can't do it alone.' I get up and get ready. All before anyone's really awake.

I run to Prince Jordan's room and knock on the door. No answer. I knock once more and hear a groan. "Jordan? Can I come in?" I ask. I heard another groan, "I'm taking that as a yes." I open the door and waltz in, "Hey buddy. How's is going?" Jordan sat up and stretched, "What? Did you finally calm down?" He asked. I nodded reluctantly, "Yeah... Sorry about snapping at you. I actually started to like this place."
Jordan nods and stretches again, "So why did you wake me up? It couldn't be only to apologize..." He looks at me, "Since you are dressed."

"You are right! I have hatched a plan to make me stay here!... Well at least make my trip longer." I explained, "What? Don't you want to see your family? Turn around so I can get dressed." I do as he says, "Yeah of course I miss my family, but this kingdom needs my help! And I promised Ze there would be help soon." I heard Jordan sigh, "Yeah, but not from you. I'm done." I turn back around and see Jordan in his normal prince attire, "Okay! So setting aside all the negative things, your dad said that I was highly intelligent, my manners are amazing, and I am doing well with prince training. Well, what if I wasn't." Jordan's eyes widen, "What?" "Yeah! What if I decided to fail everything! If I fail, the king has a reason to keep me here!"

Jordan shook his head, "That's a terrible idea Anthony." I shake my head, "No it's not! I have it all planned, I will somewhat start falling behind, but not so much to the point I will completely fail." Jordan sighs, "Look, I suggest just accepting your fate. I'm not  going to help you. I don't want to get c-" There was a knock at the door, "Prince Jordan? Who are you talking to?" "Just Prince Anthony!" Jordan yells back. "Oh! Okay! You boys be sure to be down for breakfast." "Okay!" We both yell.

"Please?! I can't do it without you!" I beg Jordan, "No! I refuse!" I sigh, "Fine... I didn't expect you to go along with me at all." I started to walk away, "I thought we were good friends..." I walked away more, then I heard Jordan say, "Wait... Okay... I'll help. Just tell me what I have to do." I smirked and turned around, "Perfect."

Jordan and I walked to te dining hall and sat down silently. "Good morning boys. Sleep well?" The queen asked. I looked at Jordan and he looked at me, we both nodded, Jordan more reluctantly, "You bet your make up splattered face I did." I replied. The queen had a shcoked face, "Excuse me?" "I'm sorry, did you fart?" I asked, "Prince Anthony!" The king yelled, "Yes?" I asked, "What has gotten into you?" He asked horrified, "Nothing, so let's change that."

I looked at the porage in front of me and looked at a spoon. I shrugged and mad emy hand curve into a scoop shape and scooped some porage and stuffed it in my mouth. The three people looked at me horrified. "What?" I asked with my mouth full, "Prince Anthony?" The king asked. "Oh." I swallowed, "I prefer Chaos." I said putting more porage in my mouth.

They all blinked at me confused, "Umm... Prince Jordan, what DID you guys talk about this morning?" The king asked. Jordan just shrugged and took a spoonful of porage and ate it. "Well, let's just hope this is a small fluke. If he doesn't do bad in prince training everything is good." The queen reassured him. He nodded. I smirked.

After prince training, I was full of mud, told off a horse trainer, and trash talked Jordan while playing golf. I happily walked into the castle, "Prince... Anthony..." I turn to face the king, "I know you miss the Derp Kingdom... But that is no excuse to act up like this." My eyes widened, 'He took it the wrong way!' I kept a straight face, "If you want, we can send you back next week? How about it?" I didn't know how to answer. If I said yes, then I can't help Ze. If I say no, he will ask why, what would I tell him? Would I lie?

Before I knew it, I said, "No." The king looked at me surprised, "What? Why?" He gained his composure, "Uhh...." My eyes darted around the room, my mind trying to come up with an excuse, "Well?" I saw Jordan coming inside and without thinking I said, "Because I am in love with Jordan!" The words left my mouth, I am unable to take them back.

Jordan was looking at me shocked, so was the king, I can't blame them... Some guy from another kingdom cames and tells the king of this kingdom that they are in love with their son...

The king was the first to speak, "Uhh... Okay then... Prince... Anthony... You do realize you have to marry a princess right?" I nod. "Then you do realize you can't marry my son... Right?" I nod once more, "Okay then. Jordan? Do you feel the same about Prince Anthony?" The king turns and looks at the shocked prince. I give him a pleading look, 'If Jordan 'loves' me back then I might be able to stay longer.' He seemed to get the message and nodded. "Uh... Yeah... I too, am in love with Prince Anthony..." Jordan said scratching the back of his neck.

There was an awkard silence. "Well this is awkward..." I say breaking the silence. The king nods and walks away. After he turns a corner, Jordan runs up to me, "What the hell Anthony!?" He yells/whispers, "Sorry! I panicked! I wasn't thinking!" I defended myself. Jordan shook his head, "You owe me BIG time." He said and walks away. I sigh and walk to the room I am staying in.

I plop on the bed, not caring about the mud getting on the covers. I sigh out of frustration and just lie there thinking. 'Maybe I should visit Ze... I wanna see him as much as I can...' I sit up and grab my bag, which had some food in it from before, which was good. I changed into my common folk clothes and jumped out the window. I grabbed a branch and climbed the rest of the way.

I took the normal route, only a little slower than usual. I reach the mid-land and surprise surprise, there's GaLm. "Ahh! If it isn't my good ol' buddy Chilled!" He puts an arm around my shoulders and I struggle away, "Look, I don't want to be bothered today." I start to walk away, "What's his problem?" I heard someone ask, "Who knows. I don't care." GaLm said. I take off running.

I reach the low lands and walk inside. I see Ze planting what looked like flowers in the front of the bakery. I walk up behind him and say, "Boo." He jumps and turns around, calming down when he sees it's me. "Hey, don't scare me like that!" He hits my shoulder and I smirk, "Sorry." I look behind him, "What's up with the flowers?" "Oh! You like them? I went to the forest and picked them." I nod, "They're pretty." Ze nods in agreement.

I look at the little bearded man, "Hey... Ze... What would you do... If one day, I suddenly... I dunno... Disappeared? I never came back?" I saw Ze tense up and he faced me, "You're not talking about suicide are you!?" I shake my head, "No! No! Of course not. I was talking about leaving the kingdom... Back to the Derp Kingdom..." Ze raised an eyebrow and cocked his head, which made him adorable, "Why back there?" I sigh, "Well... I sorta got in trouble with the Creature kingdom and now they are after me. I would love to explain more, but there is not more to tell." I see Ze's eyes turn dull and he looks down.

I put my thumb and index under his chin, and lifted his head to look at me, "Hey, but this doesn't have to be the end of everything in the low land. Jo-Kootra will be down here sometimes to give you food." I hug him, but he doesn't hug back. Instead he leans his head on my shoulder and I feel something warm start spreading on my shoulder. I sigh again, and rub his back.

"I'm sorry..." I was going to say something, but the alarms of the castle start ringing in the distance. I look in the direction and so does Ze, "Shit..." I mumble and look back at the tear stained face of the man I love. "Ze... This may be the last time we see each other, and there is something I have not been fully truthful of." I hear horse hooves in the distance and I see tears well up in Ze's chocolate eyes. "Look... The Prince who left the Derp Kingdom was me... I am Prince Anthony of the Derp Kingdom. I'm sorry... I love you though." I pull him into a deep kiss before I could see his reaction and he returns it.

I back away and see the smiling, crying little man that I fell in love with. The horse hooves got closer and I ran the other direction of the castle.

'I really messed up.'
