All she wants is to see him, to talk to him... the soon to be king.

"Aria! Honey! Come down! Time for dinner!" mother calls from below. I pull myself up, and remind myself that tomorrow, tomorrow I'll try again. I just want to see and talk to him. Us two alone with no royal burdens. Just us two like the old days.

    I make my way down the stairs as I see all five boys sitting at 'The Round Table' as we call it. They all are taking in food like a whirlwind. I'm glad that they have the food, some of the look like they haven't eaten in days.

"Are all the mom's coming late?" I say wishing that they'll pay extra for all the food that they're eating. She gives me a weak smile as I notice all the papers she has to grade sitting on the side table.

"Here you go take a break I'll take care of them." She gives me a weak smile as I hear a large figure enter through the door.

"Well look what we have here!"

"Daddy!" I run to the door as I throw my hands around his neck my feet a good half foot off the ground. "What are you doing here? I thought you were coming at the end of the week?"

"Hey there doll! Yeah I was supposed to but I sold out!" He gives a knowing look to mother and she beams up at him as she gives him a kiss.

    I turn around and see all the boys have finished their food and make there way to the living area. I pick up all the plates and put them in the bucket as mom and dad make their way around to do the dishes. I hear the boys laughter as I make my way to the living area. There is a knock on the door and I answer as the boys crowd around my legs. The mothers of the boys crowd around the door.

"Hello boys! So sorry we're late Ari there was some issues that had to be taken care of. Here's extra for the time and the food." I smile as I take the silver coins in my hand,

"It's ok they keep me on my toes. I hope you got everything fixed!" I smile as the boys give me one last hung around my legs and go to their mothers.

    I make my way back to the living are as I hear another knock on the door. I furrow my eyebrows as I mentally go through the boys that I was with today. There were no other boys, so I cautiously made my way back to the door once more. I unlock the 2 hinges and open up the dense wooden door. Me being only 5'5 was met face to face with a shiny silver breastplate. I take a small step back my right hand still on the door handle as one of the guards ask me a question,

"Are you Aria Laster?"
