~The Royal Peasant~ ON PAUSE!!!

Chapter 5: The King.

Evangeline woke up and made her way to the East hallway.She cleaned and wiped the entire place until it was as pure as heaven would be. Or at least thats what she imagined it like. Sighing she picked up her bucket and mop and walked to the North Hallway and groaned. It was even worse than the last one and that hallways had some sort of sticky black slime plastered on the walls!

She grabbed her trusty scrubbing brush and began to use good old fashioned muscle power to try and get rid of the dirt that was seeping into the cracks in the floor. Satisfied she wiped her forehead and glanced at her pocket watch Trisha had given her. "2:30" She mumbled looking around her.

She grabbed the sweeping brush and gave the 3 hallways a brisk sweep. She looked at the sharp turn where she had bumped into Ash and sighed. She really wanted to see that boy again. Her daydream was once again broken when she heard voices approach the hallway. Nervously she grabbed her cleaning supplies and hid behind the nearest column to hide herself.

The voice was echoey. It seemed like forever but she got tired of hiding she sighed and walked into the 'open'. The voice came from a man dressed in silver amour along with a navy cape attached to the back.

Her eyes widened. She had never been this close to a knight in years and still she remembered them to have different Armour. The 'knight' wasn't watching where he was going because he slightly knocked into Evangeline's shoulder.

"Sorry" He mumbled but his voice was still heard. It was a mix of echos and an annoyed tone of a very deep voice which was something Evangeline had never heard before.

"Its fine." Evangeline mumbled back. She stepped back and jumped at the sound of yet another voice chasing after the 'knight'.

"SIRE! WAIT SIRE!" A boy with ginger hair dressed in fancy clothing yelled for the man in the amour who turned around slowly.

"Your majesty please! You cannot walk out of a meeting like that!" The boy panted looking up at the tall 'knight'. However this was no knight. Evangeline's eyes widened once more as before her stood the King.

"I can do as I please now If you excuse me Fredrick I must be going  I have two children I need to attend to!" The king roared impatiently before stopping to face Evangeline.

"Sorry about that miss Evangeline that shouldn't happen again." He apologized politely.

"How do you-"

"Trisha told me all about you, I figured since I have not met you, you must be her. If you excuse me." He nodded and walked until he was out of sight.

"How does this kingdom survive with him..." The ginger boy sighed and leaned against the pillar next to Evangeline.

"So, you um" Evangeline stopped speaking.

"Yes Im his helper I help with getting him to places and yadda yadda." The boy spoke posh waving his hand scoffing at his job.

"oh um I must be going goodbye erm." She stopped.

"Fredrick, Fredrick Evergreen." He sighed smiling before running after the King who would surely be across the castle by now.

Evangeline walked back to the servant chambers where yet again she was met by Trisha.

"What happened this time?" She smirked.

"Bumped into the King." Evangeline shrugged.

"What..."

"He had his Armour on so I still have no clue what he looks like." Evangeline replied.

"What was he doing?"

"Escaping a meeting to what it looks like and he said something about two children."

"Oh the princes. Yeah he has two sons." Trisha nodded.

"Oh I didn't know."

"Yeah, Stephan and Phillip." Trisha stated.

"m'kay." Evangeline replied before going to bed the second time that week.

She began to hope shed soon bump into Ash once more.
