The Mage's Son

12

After putting that girl in jail, The Mage applauds me in the throne room.

"You are a smart girl. I knew you would be here for a while." He smiles.

Avalon is talking to my parents, who came earlier.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am." He shakes my mom's hand.

My dad was ecstatic that his daughter is big in the castle.

The maids were hugging me chanting "Long gone be the witch".

I smile, "Thanks guys but I have business to attend to."
I walk to my parents. I give them a hug. "I missed you."

"I'm just glad you followed your dreams. What will the prince do now that he has no one to spend time with?" Mom sighs.

Avalon walks up and puts his hand around my waist, "I heard my name."

"Oh, I think he can manage." I grin.

My parents' jaw drops. Mom high fives me.

"What?" Avalon was clueless.

"Nothing, sire." I laugh.

"You know, you can stop calling me sire." He walks me away.

"Maybe. I still work here." I reply.
I can hear my parents gawk at the sight.
"I knew she was like a princess." Dad dances.

"You do still work here. Hmm." Avalon kisses the top of my head and we start to walk to his room.

My maid friends were whispering. While I passed them, I mouth out "He's mine". One girl secretly high fives me. Fret screams "Score!".

Gertrude and Marjorie air kiss me. I wave.

"You are very popular. Your parents are nice." Avalon rubs my back. We finally make it to his room.

"What now?" I ask.

"Wanna get married?" He collapses on the bed.

"Wow, how romantic."

"It's a serious question."

"Sure, later. I'm talking about now." I collapse next to him.

"Eat, read, talk. Oh! I know." He turns to me and smiles.

"Really, now? Can't you calm down?"

"It's night time. I'm bored. Come on. It's an order."

I nudge him, "Fine!" I pull him close. "By the way, I love you."

We kiss.
