Mischief

The Enchancian Law Part 4

 "Okay kids we'll be back within a few days or so." King Roland and Queen Miranda were saying their good-byes to their children. The kingdom of Borrea had declared war on the kingdom of Enchancia and so King Roland and Queen Miranda have to go and try to make peace with the new King Roderick.

"We were hoping to make peace with King Roderick and hopefully become allies." Queen Miranda said handing a bag over to one of the servants.

"Hopefully you can talk some sense into him, last time I met him he was very arrogant and threatening. He could've killed me if I didn't get away in time." James looked at Sofia worryingly.

"He threatened to kill you?" James walked closer to Sofia. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" James took Sofia's hand, gazing into her light blue eyes. Sofia slowly looks away from James' brown eyes.

"Because james, i didn't think it would be relevant in a normal conversation. Enough about me, let's focus on the task at hand." They were all now looking at Sofia, wondering exactly when this happened. Sofia slipped her hand from James' grip. "Listen, it's a long story that we exactly don't have time for." Sofia started to push her parents out the castle door. "I will tell you all about it when you two get back home." The kids walked their parents to the docks and gave their very final good-byes for a while.

After a while of watching their parents' ship float away Amber decided to go inside while Sofia and James stayed behind.

"Can you tell me what happened when you first met him?" James looked at Sofia, she hesitated at first but after a while she spoke.

"James, I'm-I really don't want to talk about it right now." James took her hand and with his other hand he stroked her cheek.

"I care what happens to you. Please tell me, I want to be the person you are always open with, no better what happens to you." Sofia looked up at James, she took a deep breathe.

"I understand James, he didn't try to hurt me, but he did threaten me because I freed Minamus' brother... It's really a funny story if you ask me." Sofia let out a small chuckle, James looks at Sofia.

"I care about you a lot Sof, I'm just worried about your well being, you know that I'd do anything for your safety" Sofia slowly grabbed James' hands. James' heart started racing a light blush started to form on his cheeks. "She's so beautiful... I can't let anything happen to her, how can I let her go to some random prince that could possibly cause some harm to her. She could hold her own sure, but what if he overpowers her... I-I wouldn't be there to protect her." James started tear up, Sofia held his face with her two slender hands.

"Woah James, what's wrong? Nothing really serious happened, I was with Aunt Tilly... You know she wouldn't let anything bad happen to me." Sofia hugged James.

"It's not that Sof... Wha-" Sofia cut James off.

"Then what could it possibly be... You've been acting weird lately." James looks away from Sofia, she gently lifted his chin. "What could possibly be making you feel so down." Sofia's tone softened.

"I'm-I can't stand the thought of you getting hurt." James' voice started breaking. "How can I possibly leave you to some low life prince that could possibly cause you harm." His eyes started to water.

"Oh James th-" Sofia was cut off by a voice in the distance

"YOUR MAJESTIES DINNER IS READY!" The voice called out, Sofia and James turned their attention to Gwen.

"Okay Gwen, we'll be right there." Sofia and James walked back to the castle in silence.

"Why do you guys think this King Roderick wants war?" Amber, James, and Sofia were all at the dining room eating dinner, without their parents the table seemed very empty all three of them felt a weight of fear on their shoulder.
