The Desert song

Conditions

"Charges," King Sif drawled out, in a bored tone.

I reduced shacking when I realized he must not have recognized me from last week.

The young king had very sloppy posture, but long legs and a slim body.

He was sporting a ruffled collar with a fancy Arabian black jacket and midnight black shorts.

His hair was surprisingly straight and chocolate brown, and he had stunning emerald green eyes, also squinted in a bored fashion.

"Accused of use of magic, within Baqur walls, and harassment of a citizen, now being thawed out your majesty."

A thin, pasty man stated.

The king yawned, "Ahh... objections..?" He asked why seemed like no one in particular, but when no one answered, I suddenly yelped,

"Oh, umm, me?" In a rather undignified way, sounding way less stern than I meant it too.

Chuckles ran throughout the court room and the kings assistant cleared his throat.

"Umm, yes!" I shouted for everyone to hear.

"I do not know any magic, nor have I studied it or it's language. I he-" I was cut off by the assistant.

"Than, If I may, how did you freeze that man in the pub, hmm?"

I suddenly realized I really didn't like this man.

"Continuing," I said more firmly this time.

"I grew up in the slums, where we have no access to any magic of any kind!" I stated, determined to prove this wealthy brat wrong.

Sif's eyes suddenly dashed down at me and studied me but I didn't mind.

"And I don't know how that poor man got frozen, but I can hardly believe it either! This being Arabia after all.."

"Silence!" Yelled the pasty man. " We all know you do not come from the slum.. look at this outfit! obviously-"

He was cut off by the king who had out his hand up and was leaning down, as if studying me closer.

"No, this girl does not lie," He spoke suddenly.

"I remember seeing her in the slums I that one kingdom I went to recently.."

I froze up, petrified.

He's remembered!

The bored look was now gone, filled with new interest, and I saw that he was actually quite handsome.

"How old are you, anyways," Drawled the king, suddenly interested in my personal life it seemed.

"15, why, how old are you, 12?" I asked, totally innocent.

The entire court went ballistic with gasps, and the kings assistant went red with rage.

"The king is 15! How dare you!" He shouted, coming over with a hand raised.

However, he was stopped by the king, who had a embarrassed look on his face.

"Aiden! She is to be punished! Not, however, by you!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a insult.. I was just curious. But I've heard your a great king!" I complemented him, trying to save myself.

"Shut, up girl!" Yelled the guards in union, and they each looked at the king for instructions.

"Take her to the outpost.." chided the king, still embarrassed.

"Yes sir." They obeyed, and dragged me from the room, avoiding all the terrified gasps of the surrounding people.

As I rounded the door, I caught a glimpse of King Sifs face, a bright pink, but not, did it seem, in embarrassment.
