Rebellion (ONE DIRECTION)

Chapter 3: Unexplained Forces

Liam’s P.O.V.

I continued to think of the letter as I sat down to write. I’m not allowed to send them home because of their laws, but Niall doesn’t get it. He thinks he is being held against his will which doesn’t make Zayn very happy or Louis, but Harry doesn’t care. It is a rather interesting relationship those four have developed.

Daily entry to the royal logs,

This is the third week of having prisoners as they are named, in my castle. I prefer the term guest or friend, but they insist that they are slaves/prisoners despite how well I try to treat them.

First off, Harry is immensely happy with small sad periods because he misses his family. He loves having new clothes and food though he is also very fond of the simple life. He asked to be located to the small house near the castle gardens to work. I saw fit to give him that, but I insisted that if he needed anything to just tell me. He agreed and loves life at the moment.

There is Louis, who has been helping me with matters of merchant affairs. He loves money, but only to an extent I’ve found out. He enjoys have it though he would rather see poorer people have it. He is very giving that way. He sees the good in most people and I have learned, can be quick to anger. I hate that about him.

Zayn is umm, well, what’s the word? Over-Confident, cocky and thinks he is better than all my guards and me. Well that is just when he’s around anyone else that isn’t me or the others he came with. Around me, he can be cocky or other things, but he is pretty calm. Around those he came with, he is kind, gentle, generous and so much more. It’s like watching a seed become a flower. He is exceptional with a sword, but still can’t beat me.

Niall… That is an interesting person. I know he isn’t a thing, but he is interesting. Niall is usually pretty calm except when he blows up at me for ‘holding him prisoner. I call them his episodes of panic or flip outs. They are actually really funny to watch because he goes bright red like something waiting to explode and he pouts. I sometimes doubt he is a prince. He can be bossy, but I’ve come to expect it because of his upbringing. Niall is always followed by Zayn, who truly did guard Niall. He is so young to guard someone though. Hmm, must be a reason.

The four of them are always laughing when together and sharing fun stories. I’m only their ages and I’m a king. I want to have fun. I wish to explore the land with friends, but alas; there is no time for such things for the king. I deal with constant threats, arguments, meetings, training and more. I grow quite weary of such things. That is all I can say because I have a meeting in a few minutes.

I closed the log book and stood up. Glancing out my workroom window I saw the first colors of the new spring approaching. The leaves that held the brilliance of an emerald. Flowers that seemed to dance for joy with the new colors they had been given. A small family of birds sat nested upon my window ledge and I could see the little ones begging for substance. I smiled at the welcoming thought of a new year and new changes.

I left my workroom and arrived not long after to the war chambers. I could see my council gathered and saw fear amongst them.

“Why do you all look so terrified?” My voice was filled with curiosity. One of my generals turned to face me and his face held a fresh scar.

“Since those prisoners have arrived my lord there has been troubling reports from inside the royal city and around the kingdom.” His expression was one of pain and fear, but his voice remained calm.

“What about the reports are troubling?” I asked him. I couldn’t begin to speculate until I had more information on the reports at hand.

“Everything about them milord,” His voice went into a low whisper at the end and the rest of the room was silent.

“I don’t quite get the meaning of what you are saying. Are you saying there is something going on that I don’t know about?” My voice couldn’t hide my aggravation or annoyance. He nodded slowly and I closed my eyes to try to relax. “Tell me.”

He took a deep breath and sighed heavily, “My lord there are unexplained forces at work at this very moment inside of our kingdom. We don’t know if it is magic, spies or assassins, but something is off. I have gotten word from outposts to the north telling me about people vanishing into the wind or just falling over dead. Rumors say that your guests are to blame or their kingdom.”

I was slowly taking this all in. What was going on?

It is filler in my mind to what is about to happen. The last paragraph hints toward something that is part of rebellion :)!
